Reseña del editor:

Daisy Miller: Large Print by Henry James ticular, the various hotels at which they had stopped. "That English lady in the cars," she said--"Miss Featherstone-- asked me if we didn't all live in hotels in America. I told her I had never been in so many hotels in my life as since I came to Europe. I have never seen so many--it's nothing but hotels." But Miss Miller did not make this remark with a querulous accent; she appeared to be in the best humor with everything. She declared that the hotels were very good, when once you got used to their ways, and that Europe was perfectly sweet. She was not disappointed--not a bit. Perhaps it was because she had heard so much about it before. She had ever so many intimate friends that had been there ever so many times. And then she had had ever so many dresses and things from Paris. Whenever she put on a Paris dress she felt as if she were in Europe.

Toujours accompagnée de Giovanelli, un jeune mondain chasseur de dots, elle compromet sa réputation avec désinvolture. Même Winterbourne, son meilleur ami, ne croit plus à son innocence. Un soir, alors qu'elle contemple le clair de lune au pied du Colisée, elle contracte une maladie mortelle...
