DESCARGA
The Aspern Papers
あらすじ
A nameless narrator arrives in Venice driven by a single obsession: to secure the private letters of Jeffrey Aspern, an American poet who has died. The letters are guarded by Juliana Bordereau, who once shared a past with Aspern and now holds the documents as something deeply personal. Searching for a way in, the narrator adopts the role of a lodger and weighs other strategies, including the possibility of pursuing Miss Tita, Juliana’s plain niece. Through mounting suspense, the story explores the tension between the pursuit of literary “treasure” and the ethical limits of intruding on another person’s privacy and dignity.
