Description

The American is a novel by Henry James, originally published as a serial in The Atlantic Monthly in 1876-77 and then as a book in 1877.

The novel is an uneasy combination of social comedy and melodrama concerning the adventures and misadventures of Christopher Newman, an essentially good-hearted but rather gauche American businessman on his first tour of Europe.

Newman is looking for a world different from the simple, harsh realities of 19th-century American business.

He encounters both the beauty and the ugliness of Europe, and learns not to take either for granted.

The core of the novel concerns Newman's courtship of a young widow from an aristocratic Parisian family. (Wikipedia)
