«Diario de un hombre de cincuenta años» is the short novel by Henry James, published by Editorial Funambulista in paperback (108 pages, in Spanish).
In Florence, a fifty-year-old man writes a diary upon realizing that the relationship between the daughter of an old love and her young suitor reproduces almost exactly his own sentimental story. Convinced that that passion entails a danger, he tries to protect the girl while meditating on fate and memory.
The translation is by Blanca Salvado, with a prologue by Juan Max Lacruz Bassols. It belongs to the Intempestivos collection and was originally published in English as The Diary of a Man of Fifty.
Suitable for readers of classic fiction and short stories, as well as for those who want to start with Henry James's narrative.
Henry James was an American-British author. He is regarded as a key transitional figure between literary realism and literary modernism, and is considered by many to be among the greatest novelists in the English language. He was the son of theologian Henry James Sr. and the brother of philosopher and psychologist William James and diarist Alice James.
