The Pupil by Henry James
QR code
"The Pupil" by Henry James is a short story first published in 1891. It tells the emotional tale of a precocious boy trapped in a dishonest, wandering American family in Europe. His only trustworthy companion is Pemberton, his impoverished Oxford-educated tutor. As their bond deepens, the boy's frail heart and desperate circumstances converge toward a moment of crisis. When opportunity for escape finally arrives, hesitation proves devastating. James crafts what critics call
a classical tragedy exploring loyalty, moral courage, and the cost of inaction. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
