Synopsis Roderick Hudson, Vol. 2 of 2 (Classic Reprint) by : Henry James
Excerpt from Roderick Hudson, Vol. 2 of 2 Some days afterwards it happened that Rowland, on a long afternoon ramble, took his way through one of the quiet comers of the Trastevere. He was particularly fond of this part of Rome, though he could hardly have expressed the charm he found in it. As you pass away from the dusky swarming purlieus of the Ghetto, you emerge into a region of empty, soundless, grass-grown lanes and alleys, where the shabby houses seem mouldering away in disuse, and yet your footstep brings figures of startling Roman type to the doorways. There are few monuments here, but no part of Rome seemed more historic, in the sense of being weighted with a ponderous past, blighted with the melancholy of things that had had their day. When the yellow afternoon sunshine slept on the sallow battered walls and lengthened the shadows in the grassy courtyards of small closed churches, the place acquired a strange fascination. The church of St Cecilia has one of these sunny waste-looking courts; the edifice seems abandoned to silence and the charity of chance devotion. Rowland never passed it without going in, and he was generally the only visitor. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Synopsis Roderick Hudson (Classic Reprint) by : Henry James
Excerpt from Roderick Hudson " Roderick Hudson" was begun in Florence in the spring of 1874, designed from the first for serial publication in "The Atlantic Monthly," where it opened in January 1875 and persisted through the year. I yield to the pleasure of placing these circumstances on record, as I shall place others, and as I have yielded to the need of renewing acquaintance with the book after a quarter of a century. This revival of an all but extinct relation with an early work may often produce for an artist, I think, more kinds of interest and emotion than he shall find it easy to express, and yet will light not a little, to his eyes, that veiled face of his Muse which he is condemned for ever and all anxiously to study. The art of representation bristles with questions the very terms of which are difficult to apply and to appreciate; but whatever makes it arduous makes it, for our refreshment, infinite, causes the practice of it, with experience, to spread round us in a widening, not in a narrowing circle. Therefore it is that experience has to organise, for convenience and cheer, some system of observation - for fear, in the admirable immensity, of losing its way. We see it as pausing from time to time to consult its notes, to measure, for guidance, as many aspects and distances as possible, as many steps taken and obstacles mastered and fruits gathered and beauties enjoyed. Everything counts, nothing is superfluous in such a survey; the explorer's note-book strikes me here as endlessly receptive. This accordingly is what I mean by the contributive value - or put it simply as, to ones own sense, the beguiling charm of the accessory facts in a given artistic case.

Synopsis Roderick Hudson ... in Two Volumes by : HardPress
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Synopsis Roderick Hudson by : Henry James
This book is a result of an effort made by us towards making a contribution to the preservation and repair of original classic literature. In an attempt to preserve, improve and recreate the original content, we have worked towards: 1. Type-setting & Reformatting: The complete work has been re-designed via professional layout, formatting and type-setting tools to re-create the same edition with rich typography, graphics, high quality images, and table elements, giving our readers the feel of holding a 'fresh and newly' reprinted and/or revised edition, as opposed to other scanned & printed (Optical Character Recognition - OCR) reproductions. 2. Correction of imperfections: As the work was re-created from the scratch, therefore, it was vetted to rectify certain conventional norms with regard to typographical mistakes, hyphenations, punctuations, blurred images, missing content/pages, and/or other related subject matters, upon our consideration. Every attempt was made to rectify the imperfections related to omitted constructs in the original edition via other references. However, a few of such imperfections which could not be rectified due to intentional\unintentional omission of content in the original edition, were inherited and preserved from the original work to maintain the authenticity and construct, relevant to the work. We believe that this work holds historical, cultural and/or intellectual importance in the literary works community, therefore despite the oddities, we accounted the work for print as a part of our continuing effort towards preservation of literary work and our contribution towards the development of the society as a whole, driven by our beliefs. We are grateful to our readers for putting their faith in us and accepting our imperfections with regard to preservation of the historical content. HAPPY READING!

Synopsis Roderick Hudson by : Henry James
Early on the morrow Rowland received a visit from his new friend. Roderick was in a state ofextreme exhilaration, tempered, however, by a certain amount of righteous wrath. He had had adomestic struggle, but he had remained master of the situation. He had shaken the dust of Mr.Striker's office from his feet."I had it out last night with my mother," he said. "I dreaded the scene, for she takes thingsterribly hard. She does n't scold nor storm, and she does n't argue nor insist. She sits with her eyesfull of tears that never fall, and looks at me, when I displease her, as if I were a perfect monster ofdepravity. And the trouble is that I was born to displease her. She does n't trust me; she never hasand she never will. I don't know what I have done to set her against me, but ever since I canremember I have been looked at with tears. The trouble is," he went on, giving a twist to hismoustache, "I 've been too absurdly docile. I 've been sprawling all my days by the maternal fireside, and my dear mother has grown used to bullying me. I 've made myself cheap! If I 'm not in my bedby eleven o'clock, the girl is sent out to explore with a lantern. When I think of it, I fairly despise myamiability. It 's rather a hard fate, to live like a saint and to pass for a sinner! I should like for sixmonths to lead Mrs. Hudson the life some fellows lead their mothers!""Allow me to believe," said Rowland, "that you would like nothing of the sort. If you have been agood boy, don't spoil it by pretending you don't like it. You have been very happy, I suspect, in spiteof your virtues, and there are worse fates in the world than being loved too well. I have not had thepleasure of seeing your mother, but I would lay you a wager that that is the trouble. She ispassionately fond of you, and her hopes, like all intense hopes, keep trembling into fears." Rowland, as he spoke, had an instinctive vision of how such a beautiful young fellow must be loved by hisfemale relatives.Roderick frowned.
