Más información sobre el libro

The novella explores the courtship of Daisy Miller, a young American girl captivated by Europe during her travels. Unlike her brother, she embraces the continent's allure, leading to a controversial friendship with Frederick Winterbourne and a deeper connection with Giovanelli, a lower-class Italian. Daisy's rejection of American expatriate social norms highlights the cultural contrasts between Americans and Europeans in the late 19th century. This work marked Henry James' literary breakthrough and continues to be a celebrated piece of his oeuvre.
