Lambert Strether, a middle-aged American, is tasked with persuading his wealthy fiancé's son, Chad Newsome, to return home from Paris and assume his responsibilities in the family business. However, Strether's mission takes an unexpected turn as he becomes enchanted by the sophistication and allure of Parisian society, questioning his own values and beliefs in the process. Set against the backdrop of Paris in the late 19th century, The Ambassadors explores themes of identity, desire, and the complexities of human relationships. With its richly drawn characters and elegant prose, it stands as a timeless exploration of the human condition and remains a cornerstone of Henry James' literary legacy. HENRY JAMES [1843 -1916] was born in New York but emigrated to Europe early in life. He is one of the most important figures in Anglo-Saxon turn-of-the-century literature, with novels such as The American [1877] and the horror novel The Turn of the Screw [1898].

The Ambassadors

The Ambassadors is a 1903 novel by Henry James, originally published as a serial in the North American Review (NAR).This dark comedy, seen as one of the masterpieces of James's final period. Henry James considered The Ambassadors his best, or perhaps his best-wrought, novel. It plays on the great Jamesian theme of the American abroad, who finds himself in an older, and some would say richer, culture that that of the United States, with its attractions and dangers.Here the protagonist is Lambert Strether, a man in his fifties, editor of a small literary magazine in Woollett, Massachusetts, who arrives in Europe on a mission undertaken at the urging of his patron, Mrs. Newsome, to bring back her son Chadwick. That young man appears to be enjoying his time in Paris rather more than seems good for him, at least to those older and wiser. The novel, however, is perhaps really about Strether's education in this new land, and one of his teachers is the city of Paris -- a real Paris, not an idealized one, but from which Strether has much to learn.Chad Newsome, of course is there too, and so are a scattering of other Americans, his old friend Waymarsh and his new acquaintance Maria Gostrey among them. Had Strether his life to live over again, knowing what he has now learned,. how different would it be? and what are the lessons he takes home with him?In 1998, the Modern Library ranked The Ambassadors 27th on its list of the 100 best English-language novels of the 20th century. This is the 1909 New York edition.Total Running Time (TRT): 16h, 46minHenry James, OM (Order of Merit) (1843-1916) was an American-born writer, regarded as one of the key figures of 19th-century literary realism.He is best known for a number of novels showing Americans encountering Europe and Europeans. His method of writing from a character's point of view allowed him to explore issues related to consciousness and perception, and his style in later works has been compared to impressionist painting. His imaginative use of point of view, interior monologue and unreliable narrators brought a new depth to narrative fiction.Henry James was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1911, 1912, and 1916.

Under senare år har det blivit alltmer vanligt att personer, knutna till ambassader och konsulat på olika platser i världen, blivit utsatta för våldsbrott. Brotten har i de flesta fall haft politisk bakgrund. Man trodde kanske att vi skulle vara förskonade från dylika brott, men vi har i Sverige haft ett flertal ockupationer av främmande makters ambassader och konsulat, dock utan att allvarligare våldsbrott förekommit fram till den 7 april 1971, då den jugoslaviske ambassadören Vladimir Rolovic mördades inne på jugoslaviska ambassaden i Stockholm.
