Unsettled by a dark foreboding of menace within the house, she soon comes to believe that something malevolent is stalking the children in her care. But is the threat to her young charges really a malign and ghostly presence or something else entirely? The Turn of the Screw is James's great masterpiece of haunting atmosphere and unbearable tension and has influenced subsequent ghost stories and films such as The Innocents, starring Deborah Kerr, and The Others, starring Nicole Kidman. \n\n This Penguin Classics edition contains a chronology, further reading, notes and an introduction by David Bromwich examining the dark ambiguity of James's work and the inseparability of narrative from point-of-view. \n\nFor more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world. With more than 1,700 titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines.

The more I go over it, the more I see in it, and the more I see in it, the more I fear. I don't know what I don't see--what I don't fear!\"\n\n In this classic gothic horror ghost story, we follow a young governess and her deep psychological anguish. It begins when she agrees to care for two orphans living in a remote estate, and her sudden conviction that the grounds are haunted.\n\n Henry James used the horror genre to imbue the everyday with the uncanny and the unknown. A true measure of his success can be found in the debates still raging today: on topics of the characters' sanity, the concept of truth in fiction, and the extent to which James manipulates the reader.\n\n Written with such exquisite ambiguity, this book will call into question everything you know - but, in The Turn of the Screw, not knowing the truth might be a blessing.\n\n The Legend Classicsseries:\n Around the World in Eighty Days\n The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn\n The Importance of Being Earnest\n Alice's Adventures in Wonderland\n The Metamorphosis\n The Railway Children\n The Hound of the Baskervilles\n Frankenstein\n Wuthering Heights\n Three Men in a Boat\n The Time Machine\n Little Women\n Anne of Green Gables\n The Jungle Book\n The Yellow Wallpaper and Other Stories\n Dracula\n A Study in Scarlet\n Leaves of Grass\n The Secret Garden\n The War of the Worlds\n A Christmas Carol\n Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde\n Heart of Darkness\n The Scarlet Letter\n This Side of Paradise\n Oliver Twist\n The Picture of Dorian Gray\n Treasure Island\n The Turn of the Screw\n The Adventures of Tom Sawyer\n Emma\n The Trial\n A Selection of Short Stories by Edgar Allan Poe\n Grimm Fairy Tales\n The Awakening\n Mrs Dalloway\n Gulliver's Travels\n The Castle of Otranto\n Silas Marner\n Hard Times","brand":"BOOKSITE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40133166596211,"sku":"9781789559583","price":203.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2291\/7991\/products\/51Xm102ENeL._SY346.jpg?v=1654585184"},{"product_id":"9781908533258","title":"The Turn of the Screw","description":"\u003cp\u003eWidely recognized as one of literature's most gripping ghost stories, this classic tale of moral degradation concerns the sinister transformation of two innocent children into flagrant liars and hypocrites.
