The Jolly Corner is a novella written by American author Henry James. The story follows the character of Spencer Brydon, a wealthy man who has spent most of his life living abroad. Upon returning to his childhood home in New York City, Brydon becomes obsessed with the idea that he has a doppelganger, a version of himself who stayed in America and achieved great success. As Brydon begins to explore his old home, he becomes increasingly convinced that his doppelganger is haunting the house and that he must confront him in order to reclaim his life. The Jolly Corner is a psychological thriller that explores themes of identity, self-discovery, and the consequences of living a life of privilege. James' writing style is known for its complexity and attention to detail, making this novella a challenging but rewarding read for fans of classic literature.What had next brought him back, clearly--though after how long?--was Mrs. Muldoon's voice, coming to him from quite near, from so near that he seemed presently to see her as kneeling on the ground before him while he lay looking up at her; himself not wholly on the ground, but half-raised and upheld.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
