"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."

亨利·詹姆斯開創瞭心理分析小說的先河,他的筆下,齣現瞭仿佛是迷宮般的普通人的內心世界。在《鴿翼》(The Wings of the Dove,1902)中,他發掘瞭人物“最幽微,最朦朧”的思想和感覺,把“太空中跳動的脈搏”轉化成形象。
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。
