The novella is one of the best known prose pieces by Henry James, the author of many novels, short stories and plays. The narrator of The Aspern Papers is trying to find the lost papers of a famous writer, which takes him to Venice. His adventures, fruitless attempts to recover the papers, his relationship with the writer’s heirs are told though suspense, with a touch of irony though, which does not stop readers from sympathizing with the luckless narrator.
