«La edad de la inocencia» is the novel by Edith Wharton, published by RBA Editores in paperback (224 pages, in Spanish).
In the high society of Gilded Age New York, Newland Archer is engaged to May Welland. The arrival of Ellen Olenska, May's cousin returning from Europe after a scandalous marriage, awakens in him a passion that clashes with the rigid social code and confronts him with duty, hypocrisy, and the restrictions imposed on women.
The novel was originally published in 1920 as «The Age of Innocence» and received the Pulitzer Prize in 1921. The Spanish translation is by Maria Rosa Duhart.
It will appeal to readers of classic novels and historical fiction, as well as those familiar with Martin Scorsese's film adaptation.
