Henry James considered The Ambassadors to be the best thing he ever wrote. This dark comedy tells the story of the idealistic Lambert Strether. His patron, Mrs Newsome, instructs him to travel to Paris and bring home her errant son Chad, but the task proves far more difficult than he could have anticipated. Chad has fallen in love with an alluring Parisian woman and Strether soon finds himself succumbing to the irresistible charms of Madame de Vionnet.
