Project Gutenberg 2000-08-01 Public domain in the USA. 218 James, Henry 1843 1916 Pandora Transcribed from 1922 MacMillan and Co. “Daisy Miller, Pandora, The Patagonia and Other Tales” edition by David Price. Proofed by David, Jeremy Kwock and Uzma G “Pandora” by Henry James is a novel likely written in the late 19th century, exploring themes of culture, identity, and social dynamics. The story introduces Count Otto Vogelstein, a young, methodical diplomat from Germany embarking on a journey to America aboard a North German Lloyd steamer. As he encounters various passengers, particularly the lively and assertive Pandora Day, the narrative delves into his observations and reflections on the different cultural attitudes and behaviors he encounters, especially concerning American society. The opening of the novel establishes Count Vogelstein on a steamer from Bremen to New York, where he finds himself contemplating the social hierarchies and idiosyncrasies of his fellow passengers. He observes the stark differences between immigrant families, like the Days, whom he feels his title and education set him apart from, and the seemingly carefree demeanors of the American girls aboard. When he meets Pandora, who is on a quest for her family's favorite chair, her confident attitude captivates him. The narrative unfolds as Vogelstein wrestles with his impressions of Pandora—a spirited self-made girl from Utica—and the contrasting expectations she represents, all while underscoring his unease about her potential as a romantic interest and the implications of such a union in his diplomatic career.
