<영어로 읽는 고전 _ 헨리 제임스의 어린 소년과 다른 사람들>
“어린 소년과 타인들”은 1913년에 처음 출판된 헨리 제임스의 자서전으로, 작가의 자서전 시리즈의 첫 번째 책이며, "Notes of a Son and Brother"(1914)와 미완성 작품인 "The Middle Years"가 이어진다.
"어린 소년과 타인"은 제임스의 초기 생애에 대한 설명일 뿐만 아니라 기억, 정체성, 예술적 창작의 본질에 대한 탐구이기도 하다. 자신의 과거를 회상할 때에도 복잡한 이야기를 엮어내는 제임스의 능력을 보여준다.


“A Young Boy and Others” is the autobiography of Henry James, first published in 1913. It is the first book in the author’s autobiography series, and includes “Notes of a Son and Brother” (1914) and the unfinished work “The Middle Years.” continues.
"A Young Boy and a Stranger" is not only an account of James' early life, but also an exploration of the nature of memory, identity, and artistic creation. It shows James' ability to weave complex stories, even when recalling his own past.

요약
자서전 작성에 대한 James의 접근 방식을 요약한 책의 인용문이다.
“나는 항상 인식된 것보다 인식하는 행위에 더 관심이 있었습니다. 느껴지고 보이는 대상보다 느끼고 보는 마음에 더 관심이 있었습니다."
이 인용문은 제임스가 자신의 삶에 대한 사실적인 설명을 제공하는 것보다 자신의 생각과 감정을 탐구하는 데 더 관심이 있음을 시사하고 있다. 그는 목적지뿐만 아니라 자기 발견의 과정에도 관심이 있다.

Summary
This is a quote from the book that summarizes James' approach to writing his autobiography.
“I have always been more interested in the act of perceiving than in what is perceived. “I was more interested in the mind that felt and saw rather than the object that was felt and seen.”
This quote suggests that James is more interested in exploring his own thoughts and feelings than providing a factual account of his life. He is interested not only in his destination but also in the process of self-discovery.
