โฆ Synopsis
En ยซDaisy Millerยป de nuevo nos hallamos ante uno de los temas recurrentes en la obra de Henry James: el contraste entre dos modos de vida, entre la sociedad europea y la sociedad americana, ambas entraรฑablemente queridas por el autor y ambas minuciosamente analizadas a lo largo de su obra. Pero si en esta breve novela, publicada por primera vez en 1878, nos encontramos ante la crรณnica de unas pรกginas de la historia de finales del siglo pasado, no es menos cierto que Henry James nos ofrece a su vez una historia de siempre y para siempre: el retrato de una mujer, una muchacha espontรกnea y natural, poco importa si norteamericana o europea, que defiende su libertad a pesar de la incomprensiรณn, la crรญtica e incluso el desprecio que despierta su comportamiento desinhibido entre quienes la rodean. Daisy Miller, sin embargo, segura de sรญ misma, permanece fiel a sus ideas.
