Immerse yourself in the high society of 19th-century New York with 'The Age of Innocence' by Edith Wharton. This novel, winner of the Pulitzer Prize in 1921, portrays aristocratic hypocrisy and the intricacies of infidelity. Through the story of Newland Archer, torn between the perfect but predictable May Welland and the risky Countess Ellen Olenska, Wharton offers us a fascinating chronicle of an oppressive era. This edition from Editorial Alma, illustrated by Ana Jarén, will transport you to a world of social conventions and forbidden desires.
