A nameless narrator goes to Venice to find Juliana Bordereau, an old lover of Jeffrey Aspern, a famous and now dead American poet. The narrator presents himself to the old woman as a prospective lodger and is prepared to court her niece Miss Tita (renamed Miss Tina in later editions), a plain, somewhat naive spinster, in hopes of getting a look at some of Aspern's letters and other papers kept by Juliana. Miss Tita had denied the existence of any such papers in a letter to the narrator and his publishing partner, but he believes she was dissembling on instructions from Juliana. The narrator eventually discloses his intentions to Miss Tita, who promises to help him. Later, Juliana offers to sell a portrait miniature of Aspern to the narrator for an exorbitant price. She doesn't mention Jeffrey Aspern's name, but the narrator still believes she possesses some of his letters. When the old woman falls ill, the narrator ventures into her room and gets caught by Juliana as he is about to rifle her desk for the letters. Juliana calls the narrator a "publishing scoundrel" and collapses. The narrator flees, and when he returns some days later, he discovers that Juliana has died. Miss Tita hints that he can have the Aspern letters if he marries her. Again, the narrator flees. At first he feels he can never accept the proposal, but gradually he begins to change his mind. When he returns to see Miss Tita, she bids him farewell and tells him that she has burned all the letters one by one. The narrator never sees the precious papers, but he does send Miss Tita some money for the miniature portrait of Aspern that she gives him.

An entertaining novella from James.

Avaliado nos Estados Unidos em 28 de novembro de 2015

This is one of Henry James' more readable books and it is set in Venice which adds to the enjoyment of it. He actually wrote this book in a Venetian house which still exists and can be seen and the house is described in the book (as another person's house). The plot is a classic one -- with a real and dramatic (sort of dramatic) conclusion (not always true of James).

Psychologically brilliant

We had to read „Washington Square“ at school and though I don’t remember any details I do remember that I found it extremely stuffy and boring. After that I gave Henry James a wide berth until I came across „The Aspern Papers“ which I read because it is a) set in Venice and b) very short.

To my surprise I thoroughly enjoyed this novella and not only because of the lovely descriptions of Venice. There are just three main characters : the anonymous publisher who almost pathologically idolizes the poet Aspern and who is prepared to go to any lengths to obtain Apern’s papers. He resorts to a ruse to gain access to the household of the poet’s ex-lover who is in possession of them : a tough, shrewd old lady who is more than a match for him, and her niece, « a piece of middle-aged female helplessness ». It is fascinating to observe the mental struggles of the three personages, each endeavouring to get what they most desire. The ending is brilliant and surprising.

I would have liked larger type. It is the great Henry James.

It's all in the ending.

I admit the early stages of the book impressed me little. It drew me in around the middle and its conclusion certainly achieved closure.

It is a good story but you may not truly realise this until the end - which makes it all worthwhile.

Lousy production quality

Avaliado nos Estados Unidos em 19 de agosto de 2009

I won't go into an editorial review because the story seems to be great (what I've heard of it), but the production quality of these CDs is horrible. I had to return one set as defective because the sound got so scratchy part way in that I couldn't understand what they were saying. The replacement is no better. Just scratchy in a different area. I would definitely NOT recommend buying this audio book.
