Ambientada en la rígida sociedad de la Nueva York de 1870, esta obra maestra de Edith Wharton narra la historia de Newland Archer, un joven abogado comprometido con la convencional May Welland. Su vida se ve trastocada por la llegada de la condesa Ellen Olenska, una mujer independiente y marcada por el escándalo que desafía los códigos morales de la época. A través de una ironía afilada, la autora retrata el conflicto entre el deber social y el deseo individual, mostrando a personajes atrapados en una civilización que niega la humanización en favor de las apariencias. Esta edición en portugués recupera un clásico de la literatura que explora la hipocresía y las restricciones de la alta sociedad estadounidense.
Edith Newbold Wharton was an American writer and designer. Wharton drew upon her insider's knowledge of upper-class New York society to portray, realistically, the lives and morals of the Gilded Age. In 1921, she became the first woman to win the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction for her novel The Age of Innocence. She was inducted into the National Women's Hall of Fame in 1996. Her other well-known works are The House of Mirth, the novella Ethan Frome, and several notable ghost stories.
