«La edad de la inocencia» is the romantic novel by Edith Wharton, published by Maxi-Tusquets in paperback (304 pages, in Spanish).
In late 19th-century New York, Newland Archer, engaged to May Welland, is drawn to Countess Ellen Olenska, an independent woman returning from Europe. That passion clashes with the rigid conventions of high society. The novel shows social hypocrisy and the conflict between individual desire and established norms.
Original title: The Age of Innocence. Winner of the Pulitzer Prize in 1921. Number 24 in the MAXI collection from Maxi-Tusquets.
For readers of American literary classics and historical romantic novels with social criticism.
