The Sacred Fount is a novel by Henry James, first published in 1901. This strange, often baffling book concerns an unnamed narrator who attempts to discover the truth about the love lives of his fellow guests at a weekend party in the English countryside. He spurns the "detective and keyhole" methods as ignoble, and instead tries to decipher these relationships purely from the behavior and appearance of each guest. He expends huge resources of energy and ingenuity on his theories, much to the bemusement of some people at the party.

  • The Sacred Fount (em português, A fonte sagrada) é um romance de Henry James, publicado primeiramente em 1901. Este livro estranho, às vezes incompreensível, trata de um narrador que tenta descobrir a verdade sobre a vida amorosa de seus colegas de festa num final de semana em uma casa de campo inglesa. Ele considera ignóbeis os métodos "do detetive e o buraco da fechadura" , e, ao invés desses métodos, tenta decifrar os relacionamentos apenas pelo comportamento e aparência de cada convidado. Para tanto, gasta muita energia e engenho em suas teorias, para a diversão de algumas pessoas da festa. Edmund Wilson disse sobre este texto: "Se alguém realmente chegasse ao fundo da fonte sagrada, lançaria bastante luz sobre Henry James". (pt)
