The Turn of the Screw tells the story of a young governess who is sent to Bly, a large country estate, to care for two children. She has strict instructions from their guardian never to write to him, never to ask about the history of the house, and never to abandon the children. It isn't long before the Governess starts to see apparitions around the grounds. When she describes the sightings, they are identified by the housekeeper as the previous governess Miss Jessel and former valet Peter Quint, who both died not long ago. As the children's behavior grows increasingly strange, the Governess becomes convinced that these ghosts have returned to claim Miles and Flora ­and vows to protect them. But are the phantoms real, or is it all in the Governess' imagination?

Συγγραφέας

Ο Χένρυ Τζαίημς γεννήθηκε το 1843 στη Νέα Υόρκη, αλλά οι γονείς του κατάγονταν από την Ιρλανδία και τη Σκοτία. Ο πατέρας του ήταν διαπρεπής θεολόγος και φιλόσοφος, κι ο μεγαλύτερος αδελφός του, ο Γουίλιαμ, διέπρεψε επίσης στο χώρο της φιλοσοφίας. Σπούδασε στη Νέα Υόρκη κι αργότερα στο Λονδίνο, το Παρίσι και τη Γενεύη, και μπήκε στη νομική σχολή του Χάρβαρντ το 1862. Το 1865 άρχισε να δημοσιεύει κριτικές και διηγήματα σε αμερικανικά περιοδικά. Το 1875, έπειτα από δύο ταξίδια στην Ευρώπη, εγκαταστάθηκε στο Παρίσι, όπου έμεινε ένα χρόνο. Εκεί γνώρισε τον Φλωμπέρ, τον Τουργκένιεφ και άλλες προσωπικότητες της λογοτεχνίας. Τον επόμενο χρόνο πήγε στο Λονδίνο, όπου επιδόθηκε σε έντονη κοσμική ζωή. Το 1898 έφυγε από το Λονδίνο και εγκαταστάθηκε οριστικά στο Σάσεξ. Πέθανε στις αρχές του 1916 στο Λονδίνο. Henry James was born on 15 April 1843 in New York to a wealthy and intellectual family and as a youth travelled widely and studied in Europe. He briefly studied law at Harvard before he took up writing full-time. His first novel, Watch and Ward, was published in 1871 and many followed including Roderick Hudson (1875), Portrait of a Lady (1881), The Awkward Age (1899), The Wings of the Dove (1902), The Ambassadors (1903) and The Golden Bowl (1904). He also wrote short stories, reviews, biographies, plays and travel books. After a brief period in Paris, James moved to London.He later settled in Rye in Sussex and became a British citizen in 1915. Henry James died on 28 February 1916.
