Project Gutenberg 1996-02-01 Public domain in the USA. 404 James, Henry 1843 1916 The Ambassadors Richard D. Hathaway and Julia P DeRanek "The Ambassadors" by Henry James is a novel written in the early 20th century. This work delves into themes of personal transformation and the search for meaning against the backdrop of Europe, particularly Paris, as seen through the eyes of its protagonist, Lambert Strether. He embarks on a journey that challenges his perceptions and ultimately forces him to confront his past and the choices he has made. The opening of "The Ambassadors" introduces us to Lambert Strether as he arrives in Chester, England, to reconnect with his friend Waymarsh. Initially relieved at having a moment of solitude, Strether reflects on the personal freedom he feels in Europe, contrasting it with his previous life in Woollett, Massachusetts. His encounter with Maria Gostrey—a woman he recognizes from a previous meeting—creates a dynamic where he feels both drawn to and apprehensive about the social interactions that await him. The narrative hints at Strether's complexity, revealing that he grapples with deeper emotions and a sense of detachment as he begins to navigate this new social landscape, all while reflecting on the nature of life and missed opportunities.
