Gathered in 1895, and following his fascination with the supernatural in the 1880s, this elegant collection explores the sadness of loss, both physical and spiritual, and finds James at his introspective best, while providing a glimpse of how the author dealt with death in his own life. The collection consists of four stories: \"The Death of the Lion,\" in which the narrator prepares to write an obituary for a great editor he admired; \"The Coxon Fund,\" where an endowment from a will comes unexpectedly to a seemingly undeserving character; \"The Middle Years,\" a brief glimpse at the public reception of a novel and the private sacrifice it exacted from its author; and \"The Altar of the Dead,\" a moving meditation on finding meaning in life that James wrote in response to the death of a close lady friend. \u003ci\u003eTerminations\u003c\/i\u003e reveals a writer preoccupied with the endings of life, expressing his thoughts in prose that is as finely balanced as the most famous of James's work. \u003cb\u003eHenry James\u003c\/b\u003e (1843-1916) wrote more than one hundred stories, plays, works of criticism, and novels, including \u003ci\u003eThe Portrait of a Lady\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Wings of the Dove\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eThe Golden Bowl\u003c\/i\u003e.
