<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>Introduction by Colm Tóibín</b> <p/>One of the final masterpieces from one of the world's greatest authors, Henry James's <i>The Ambassadors</i> is now available for the first time in a Modern Library edition, with a new Introduction by acclaimed novelist Colm Tóibín. A keenly observed tale of a man's awakening to life, this dark comic novel follows Lewis Lambert Strether, a middle-aged widower, on a mission to Europe to convince his fiancée's wayward son to forsake the pleasures of Paris and return to America. Rich with fin de siècle detail, <i>The Ambassadors</i> brims with finely drawn character portraits, including one of the Master's most unforgettable heroines--the beguiling Madame de Vionnet. This was the novel that Henry James himself considered his finest, and no one is better equipped to put it into literary and historical context than Colm Tóibín, whose award-winning novel <i>The Master</i> depicted the inner life of James in the final years of the nineteenth century.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Colm Tóibín</b> was born in Ireland in 1955. He is the author of six novels including <i>The Blackwater Lightship; The Master, </i> winner of a <i>Los Angeles Times</i> Book Prize; and <i>Brooklyn, </i> winner of a Costa Book Award. Twice short-listed for the Man Booker Prize, Colm Tóibín is the Leonard Milberg Lecturer in Irish Studies at Princeton University and lives in Dublin and New York.
