First published in 1878, the novella brought American novelist Henry James (1843-1916), then living in London, his first international success. Like many of James' early works, it portrays a venturesome American girl in the treacherous waters of European society--a theme that would culminate in his 1881 masterpiece, \u003ci\u003eThe Portrait of a Lady\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003cbr\u003eOn the surface, \u003ci\u003eDaisy Miller\u003c\/i\u003e unfolds a simple story of a young American girl's willful yet innocent flirtation with a young Italian, and its unfortunate consequences. But throughout the narrative, James contrasts American customs and values with European manners and morals in a tale rich in psychological and social insight. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dover Publications","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45083147960471,"sku":"9780486287737","price":225.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780486287737.webp?v=1767635455","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/daisy-miller-9780486287737","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
