The greatest expression of his talent for witty, observant explorations of what it means to 'live well', Henry James's The Ambassadors is edited with an introduction and notes by Adrian Poole in Penguin Classics.

Concerned that her son Chad may have become involved with a woman of dubious reputation, the formidable Mrs Newsome sends her 'ambassador' Strether from Massachusetts to Paris to extricate him. Strether's mission, however, is gradually undermined as he falls under the spell of the city and finds Chad refined rather than corrupted by its influence and that of his charming companion, Madame de Vionnet, and her daughter, Jeanne. As the summer wears on, Mrs Newsome concludes that she must send another envoy to confront the errant Chad - and a Strether whose view of the world has changed profoundly. One of the greatest of James's late works, The Ambassadors is a subtle and witty exploration of different responses to a European environment.

This edition of The Ambassadors includes a chronology, further reading, glossary, notes and an introduction discussing the novel in the context of James's other works on Americans in Europe, and the novel's portrayal of Paris.

Inexpensive and Nice Quality
Size: Standard (Pack of 2), Style: Medium, Configuration: Hometextile
I was hoping there would be more of a firmness to these pillows, however they are more soft than I was expecting them to be. Id recommend these pillows for someone who wants a fairly non firm pillow.

Soft and Comfortable Pillow
Size: Standard (Pack of 2), Style: Medium, Configuration: Hometextile
This pillow has a soft feel with a nice balance of comfort and support. It fluffs up well after opening and maintains its shape throughout the night. The cover feels smooth, and the overall construction appears well made. A comfortable option for side and back sleepers looking for a plush sleeping experience.

Not for side sleepers
Size: Standard (Pack of 2), Style: Medium, Configuration: Hometextile
These pillows are quite soft and flat, and offer very little support. I sleep on my side and can't use these pillows. I don't know why they're recommended for side sleepers.
