Ambientada en la alta sociedad de Nueva York durante la Edad Dorada, 'La edad de la inocencia' de Edith Wharton narra la historia de Newland Archer, un joven abogado prometido con la encantadora May Welland. Sin embargo, su mundo se ve alterado con la llegada de la condesa Ellen Olenska, la prima de May, quien regresa a Estados Unidos tras un matrimonio escandaloso en Europa. Newland se siente irresistiblemente atraído por la belleza y el espíritu independiente de Ellen, lo que lo lleva a cuestionar sus propias convicciones y el sofocante mundo de convenciones sociales en el que vive. La novela explora temas de amor, deber, clase social y la lucha entre el deseo individual y las expectativas sociales, todo ello con la prosa elegante y la aguda observación psicológica que caracterizan a Wharton.
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.
