<br/><br/> "The American" by Henry James is a novel published in 1877. Christopher Newman, a wealthy American businessman, travels to Europe seeking culture and a refined wife. He falls for Claire de Cintré, a young widow from an aristocratic Parisian family. But Newman's honest American spirit collides with Old World class prejudices and dark family secrets.
