Friends of Our Friends
“We chose four different narratives for this compilation. In 'The Hidden Life', fantastic and satirical elements, the much-exploited theme of 'duality' that Stevenson and Papini loved so much, and the ridicule directed at the extraordinary nothings that permeate the visible fictions of the world are intertwined. 'Owen Wingrave' may seem like a peaceful plea at first glance, but it later becomes clear that its ancient and ghostly center of gravity does not exclude epic elements. 'Friends of Our Friends' contains a deep melancholy, but is also a glorification of a love wrought with mystery. In this selection, in addition to three fantastic stories, we have added a fourth, which is not fantastic but may be called Henry James's best story. 'The Fall of the Northmores' is a story of patient revenge that seems all the more cruel the longer we know the ultimate truth.” -Jorge Luis Borges-
