Mora Montravers is a novel by the American author Henry James. It tells the story of Mora Montravers, a young woman who is born into a wealthy family in New York City. Despite her privileged upbringing, Mora is restless and discontented with her life, feeling that there must be more to existence than the superficial pleasures of high society.When Mora meets the enigmatic artist Schinkel, she is drawn into a world of bohemianism and artistic experimentation. Schinkel becomes her mentor and lover, introducing her to a new way of seeing the world and inspiring her to pursue her own artistic ambitions.As Mora's relationship with Schinkel deepens, she becomes increasingly aware of the constraints of her class and gender. She must navigate the expectations of her family and society while pursuing her dreams and desires, a struggle that ultimately leads to a dramatic and unexpected conclusion.Mora Montravers is a complex and nuanced exploration of art, love, and identity, told with James's signature psychological insight and literary style. It is a novel that speaks to the universal human desire for self-expression and fulfillment, as well as the challenges and obstacles that stand in the way of realizing those aspirations.Mrs Traffle's posture was now, more and more, certainly, this recumbent sightless stillness; which she appeared to have resorted to at first -- after the launching, that is, of her ultimatum to Mr Puddick -- as a sign of the intensity with which she awaited results. There had been no results, alas, there were none from week to week; never was the strain of suspense less gratefully crowned; with the drawback, moreover, that they could settle to nothing.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
