| Summary | "An International Episode" by Henry James is a novel set in the late 19th century. The story follows two young Englishmen, Lord Lambeth and Percy Beaumont, as they travel to the United States and navigate their experiences in an unfamiliar cultural landscape, filled with vivid descriptions of American society and the contrast with their British roots. The opening of the novel introduces the two travelers as they arrive in New York during the sweltering heat of summer, providing a detailed portrayal of their reactions to the bustling, vibrant city. The chapter describes their journey through Broadway, their observations of the local customs, people, and the overwhelming nature of the American lifestyle. They meet Mr. J.L. Westgate, an American who represents the welcoming yet foreign nature of their new environment. As they acclimate to their surroundings, the young men contemplate their plans and interactions, hinting at future adventures that will develop as they are introduced to Newport society, where the complexities of social norms and personal relationships will play a central role in their experience.
