Short Fiction James, Henry: The Beast in the Jungle, v.1, 18 Jan 2008.

[Patricia]

From Wikipedia:

“The Beast in the Jungle” (1903) is almost universally considered one of James's finest short narratives, and has often been compared with The Ambassadors in its meditation on experience or the lack of it. The story also treats other universal themes: loneliness, fate, love and death. The parable of John Marcher and his peculiar destiny speaks to anyone who has speculated on the worth and meaning of human life.
