The Altar of the Dead by Henry James
Publisher: Project Gutenberg 1996
ISBN/ASIN: 1592246273
This is a fable of life and death significance which explores what happens when a man tries to keep the remembrance of his dead friends, to save them from being forgotten entirely in the rush of everyday events. He meets a woman who shares his ideals, only to find that the past places what seems to be an impassable barrier between them.
