A Tragedy of Error is a novel written by the renowned American author, Henry James. The story is set in the mid-19th century and revolves around a young woman named Catherine Sloper, who lives with her wealthy father, Dr. Austin Sloper, in New York City.

However, Catherine is kind-hearted and intelligent, and she falls in love with Morris Townsend, a handsome and charming man who is interested in her for her inheritance.Dr. Sloper disapproves of the match and believes that Morris is only interested in Catherine's money. He tries to convince Catherine to break off the engagement, but she refuses to listen to him. Morris, on the other hand, believes that Dr. Sloper is trying to keep Catherine from marrying him because he is jealous of their love.As the story unfolds, Catherine becomes increasingly torn between her love for Morris and her loyalty to her father. Morris's true intentions are revealed, and Catherine is left heartbroken and alone. The novel explores themes of love, betrayal, and the consequences of our actions.A Tragedy of Error is a compelling and thought-provoking novel that showcases Henry James's masterful storytelling and his ability to delve into the complexities of human relationships. It is a timeless tale that continues to resonate with readers today.For some time this silence was maintained, broken only by the trickling of the oars and the sounds from the neighbouring shores and vessels. Madame Bernier was plunged in a sidelong scrutiny of her ferryman's countenance. He was a man of about thirty-five. His face was dogged, brutal, and sullen. These indications were perhaps exaggerated by the dull monotony of his exercise. The eyes lacked a certain rascally gleam which had appeared in them when he was so empress����� with the offer of his services. The face was better then---that is, ---if vice is better than ignorance.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
