Its full title is A Narrative of the Most remarkable Particulars in the Life of James Albert Ukawsaw Gronniosaw, an African Prince, As related by himself.

    Listen to over 500,000 full audiobooks for free on https://ecast.space

    Title: Real Thing
    Author: Henry James
    Narrator: Nicholas Clifford (1930-2019)
    Total lenght: 1:04:39
    Language: English
    Release date: 11/19/2010
    Genres: General Fiction

    Summary:
    The Real Thing is, on one level, a somewhat ironic tale of an artist and two rather particular models. Yet it also raises questions about the relationship between the notion of reality in our humdrum world, and the means that an artist must use in trying to achieve, or reflect, that reality. Though the protagonist is an artist and illustrator of books, not a writer, it's not hard to imagine that James has himself, and other writers, in mind.(summary by Clifford)
