The Golden Bowl

Henry James's highly charged study of adultery, jealousy and possession, The Golden Bowl is edited with an introduction and notes by Ruth Bernard Yeazell in Penguin Classics.

Maggie Verver, a young American heiress, and her widowed father Adam, a billionaire collector of objets d'art, lead a life of wealth and refinement in London. They are both getting married: Maggie to Prince Amerigo, an impoverished Italian aristocrat, and Adam to the beautiful but penniless Charlotte Stant, a friend of his daughter. But both father and daughter are unaware that their new conquests share a secret - one for which all concerned must pay the price. Henry James's late, great work both continues and challenges his theme of confrontation between American innocence and European experience.

This edition of The Golden Bowl contains a chronology, suggested further reading, a glossary, notes and an introduction by Ruth Bernard Yeazall discussing James's original conception of the novel and later changes made to its structure and characters.

Henry James (1843-1916) son of a prominent theologian, and brother to the philosopher William James, was one of the most celebrated novelists of the fin-de-siècle. In addition to many short stories, plays, books of criticism, biography and autobiography, and much travel writing, he wrote some twenty novels.
His novella 'Daisy Miller' (1878) established him as a literary figure on both sides of the Atlantic, and his other novels in Penguin Classics include Washington Square (1880), The Portrait of a Lady (1881), What Maisie Knew (1897), The Awkward Age (1899), The Wings of the Dove (1902) and The Ambassadors (1903).

Alright
The interior cleaner are a little too dry for my liking- it feels like I need to use multiple wipes for the same area. I like the VPR for the plastics around the car (looks a little greasy), but I don’t think $20 is worth only 30 wipes each. I would rather buy the spray. Maybe I’m not using the wipes correctly but “shines like new” didn’t happened on the doors.

Excellent combo pack.
The cleaner & protectant and VRP protectant are my new go to cleaner and protectant wipes, I’ve been using another brand for 30+ years but it’s time to try other brands, I bought these to give it a try and it didn’t disappoint, it works very well, I work in very dusty environments trying to clean and protect the interior is an ongoing battle, so far this combo cleaner and protectant is doing its thing as expected, the cleaner wipes are not heavily soaked but with just the right amount without leaving any streaks and the same goes for the protectant wipes.

Great
The VRP polish was not available so used the wipes, excellent results. I used it for my engine detailing, I also used it on my motorcycle for the plastic and restored the color.

Just OK
I did not care for this product. Maybe I didn't use it right but it was oily and left streaks on my doors and dash. The window cleaner was just ok.
