The Death of the Lion is a novel by author Henry James, published by Editorial Sexto Piso in its Classics collection. The story tells how Neil Paraday, a sickly English writer, is consumed by the aspirations of high society after belatedly achieving fame. Turned into an object of worship without his work being known, Paraday has a young journalist who tries to protect him, although he is powerless in the face of the situation. Through this plot, James reflects on the writing profession and destiny.
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.
