description: The Middle Years is a novel written by the renowned American author, Henry James. The book tells the story of Dencombe, an aging writer who is struggling to complete his final masterpiece. As he nears the end of his life, Dencombe reflects on his past and the choices he made that led him to where he is now. He is haunted by the memories of his youth and the people he has loved and lost along the way. Throughout the novel, James explores themes of aging, regret, and the pursuit of art. He delves into the complex relationships between artists and their work, as well as the impact that the creative process can have on a person's life. The Middle Years is a beautifully written and introspective novel that offers a poignant reflection on the human experience. It is a must-read for anyone who appreciates literary fiction and wants to explore the deeper questions of life.Doctor Hugh, at this, hesitated, and Dencombe, in spite of a desire to pass for unconscious, risked a covert glance at him. What his eyes met this time, as happened, was, on the part of the young lady, a queer stare, naturally vitreous, which made her remind him of some figure--he couldn't name it--in a play or a novel, some sinister governess or tragic old maid. She seemed to scan him, to challenge him, to say out of general ""What have you got to do with us?""This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
