Confidence is a novel written by Henry James, first published in 1879. The story revolves around the life of a young American artist named Bernard Longueville, who travels to Europe to pursue his career. During his travels, he meets a beautiful and mysterious woman named Angela Vivian, who he becomes infatuated with. However, Bernard soon discovers that Angela is engaged to his friend, a wealthy American named Percy Beaumont.As the story progresses, Bernard becomes increasingly obsessed with Angela, and his feelings for her cause him to question his own morals and values. Meanwhile, Angela struggles with her own feelings for Bernard and her loyalty to Percy. The novel explores themes of love, jealousy, and the conflict between personal desire and societal expectations.Confidence is considered one of James' early works and is noted for its psychological depth and intricate character development. The novel is written in James' signature style, which is characterized by its complex sentence structure and use of interior monologue. Overall, Confidence is a compelling and thought-provoking novel that delves into the complexities of human relationships and the nature of love.Her features had a firmness which suggested tranquillity, and yet her expression was light and quick, a combination-- or a contradiction--which gave an original stamp to her beauty. Bernard remembered that he had thought it a trifle ""bold""; but he now perceived that this had been but a vulgar misreading of her dark, direct, observant eye.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.
