About this listen
Editorial reviews
Henry James’ literary classic, The American, is an absurdly funny, darkly tragic, and melodramatic tale concerning the follies of romance and unrequited love.
A businessman, Christopher Newman, traveling through Europe falls in love with a captivating woman, Claire de Cintre. Her aristocratic family, firmly entrenched in Parisian society and all that goes with it, are dead-set against the courtship of this "commercial" American.
With a voice seemingly piped in from the walnut-finished oak of a vintage radio, narrator Jim Killavey transports the listener to a time long ago, where the traditions were different, but the desires and frustrations of the human heart remained the same.
