| Summary | "Notes of a Son and Brother" by Henry James is a memoir written in the early 20th century. The book reflects on James's formative years, delving into his experiences growing up as the son of a prominent family, as he navigates the complexities of education, family dynamics, and his relationship with his brothers, particularly William James, who later became a renowned philosopher and psychologist. At the start of the memoir, the author sets the scene during a family trip to Geneva, Switzerland, where he and his brothers are attending different educational institutions. Henry expresses his struggles with mathematics and his feelings of inadequacy compared to his more academically successful brother, William. He paints a vivid picture of his surroundings, capturing the beauty of the Swiss landscape while juxtaposing it with his feelings of distress and alienation within the strict educational system he experiences. The opening portion establishes a reflective tone, highlighting both the personal challenges he faced and the familial observations that would shape his understanding of himself and his place within the family—a theme that likely continues throughout the book.
