He becomes fixated on the idea that this special type of person exists and that he must find them in order to find meaning in his life.The Special Type is a complex and introspective novel that explores themes of identity, purpose, and the search for meaning.

The book is considered to be one of James' most important works and is a must-read for fans of his writing and for anyone interested in exploring the complexities of the human psyche.She left the others, at all events, completely together, and so, as the plot, with this, might be said definitely to thicken, it came to me in all sorts of ways that the curtain had gone up on the drama. It came to me, I hasten to add, much less from the two actors themselves than from other quarters -- the usual sources, which never fail, of chatter; for after my friends' direction was fairly taken they had the good taste on either side to handle it, in talk, with gloves, not to expose it to what I should have called the danger of definition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
