Sobre IBD

Henry James’ novella 'Daisy Miller' portrays the clash between American innocence and European sophistication in the late nineteenth century. Daisy Miller, a lovely and unusual young woman, arrives in Europe with her family, disrupting the rigid social rules of the Old World, attracting and scandalizing all she meets. We are taken into Daisy’s world of daring and innocence via the eyes of the restrained American expatriate, Winterbourne. This classic in American literature is a timeless analysis of societal customs, cultural disputes, and the cost of non-conformity. 'Henry James expertly navigates the complexities of human nature, morality, and the consequences of one young woman’s defiance of societal expectations.'
