The Turn of the Screw - Unabridged
ByPublisher Description
"The Turn of the Screw" is one of author Henry James' most popular books, a gothic novella that explores ambiguity, fear, and psychological tension.
The story is framed as a manuscript read aloud at a gathering, recounting the experiences of a young governess hired to care for two children, Miles and Flora, at a remote English estate called Bly. Soon after her arrival, the governess begins to see ghostly figures-Peter Quint, a former servant, and Miss Jessel, her predecessor-whom she believes are trying to corrupt the children. As the apparitions grow more menacing, the governess becomes increasingly obsessed with protecting Miles and Flora. However, it remains unclear whether the ghosts are real or products of her imagination.
The novella's haunting ambiguity blurs the line between the supernatural and psychological, leaving readers to question the governess's sanity and the true nature of evil within the seemingly innocent world of Bly.
An enormous success when it was first published, "The Turn of the Screw" has gone on to be become on of the most revered books of the 19th century,. It is presented here in its original and unabridged format.
