The Ambassadors by Henry James, hand-bound in genuine leather by LeatheredLines. Henry James's 1903 novel, which he considered his best, follows Lambert Strether, a middle-aged New Englander sent to Paris by his wealthy fiancée to bring her son Chad home. Instead, Strether is captivated by Paris and by Chad's transformation, and comes to see his own life differently. A subtle, beautiful novel about the art of living.
