The American
Henry James
The American by Henry James. The American is a novel by Henry James, originally published as a serial in The Atlantic Monthly in 1876-77 and then as a book in 1877. The novel is an uneasy combination of social comedy and melodrama concerning the adventures and misadventures of Christopher Newman, an essentially good-hearted but rather gauche American businessman on his first tour of Europe. Newman is looking for a world different from the simple, harsh realities of 19th-century American business. He encounters both the beauty and the ugliness of Europe, and learns not to take either for granted. The core of the novel concerns Newman's courtship of a young widow from an aristocratic Parisian family. In 1868, Christopher Newman, an American businessman, visits Europe on a Grand Tour. Having worked for a living since age ten, he has made a large fortune and retired in his thirties, and is now looking to settle down and get married.
