"Henry James' great theme is the collision of cultures, of New World American energy encountering Old World European aristocracy; and his supreme skill is in the delineation of the unspoken subtleties that govern human interaction-- the meanings behind people's words, the delicate signals by which people communicate more than the conventions of conversation or society allow."
--Amazon.co.uk Review
"The American is built around a moral dilemma that dramatises this clash of cultures. Wealthy, open-hearted Christopher Newman (the New Man in the Old World) visits Paris and falls in love with impoverished French aristocrat, Claire de Cintre. However, her snobbish family bully her into breaking off the engagement. When Newman discovers that his former fiancée's family are hiding a dark secret, corrupt Old World morals suggest he should use it to take his revenge; but his simpler American sense tells him that this would be wrong. What should he do? The fine touch with which James explores the complexities of this scenario markes an extraordinary advance over his first novel, Roderick Hudson; and The American looks forward to the mature classics of James' middle period, books like Daisy Miller and Portrai t of a Lady--all novels that explore the classic Jamesian theme of Americans in Europe."

評分道統是指原道德傳脈絡。原道,也稱天道。天道心法是堯舜十六字心法:人心惟危,道心惟微,惟精惟一,允執厥中。月牙山人將十六字心法命名為中華心法,並揭示心傳。

很喜歡,一直想買這本書,終於在京東買到瞭
評分1)布蘭北上綫。編劇怎麼還不讓布蘭和瑞肯分道而行?卻浪費時間在吵嘴這種無用劇情上。這一集他們存在的目的就是為瞭引齣瓊恩的現狀,對於自身故事綫的發展沒有什麼推力。
