Aspirin leaves

Author: Henry James

Number of pages: 154

No poet dies without leaving behind a lover, a lover, or a woman to whom he can spread his secrets and deposit fragments of his works, letters, and poems.

In “The Asburn Papers,” Henry James creates the character of the poet Geoffrey Asburn, who filled the world and occupied people in his life, but he died early.

However, his death did not go unnoticed, as an American publisher became curious to reveal the secrets of papers that he learned from his friends that the glorious poet had deposited with his mistress, who had reached a miserable age at that time and lived behind walls of oblivion with her niece in Venice.

The ambitious publisher finds nothing to dissuade him from his intention to track down the progress of these papers, seize them, and publish them publicly.

Will the publisher eventually get the papers and get their hands on them?
