The Beast in the Jungle and Other Stories

Henry James

Here are three superb stories by one of America's finest writers of fiction, Henry James. "The Beast in the Jungle" is regarded by many as James's greatest achievement in short fiction. James's ability to communicate the inner lives of his characters is also richly evident in "The Jolly Corner" and "The Altar of the Dead," two superbly crafted tales that explore the complex interlacings of loss, love and the ever-present past in the lives of their protagonists.
