Old New York (Four-Book Collection)

Livre numérique


Edith Wharton's 'Old New York' is a captivating four-book collection that delves into the social intricacies and ethical dilemmas of the Gilded Age elite in 19th century New York. Known for her detailed descriptions and keen observations of human behavior, Wharton skillfully portrays the trials and tribulations faced by her characters as they navigate complex societal norms and roles. The collection is a brilliant display of Wharton's mastery of character development and her ability to critique the values of the time with subtlety and wit. Through her elegant prose and nuanced storytelling, Wharton offers a window into a world of privilege and constraint, making 'Old New York' a compelling and thought-provoking read for any lover of classic literature. Edith Wharton, a Pulitzer Prize-winning American novelist and short story writer, was herself a product of the Gilded Age society she so expertly depicts in 'Old New York.' Raised in the upper echelons of New York City society, Wharton brings an insider's perspective to her work, shedding light on the hypocrisies and realities of the privileged few. Her own experiences undoubtedly influenced her keen insight into human nature and her ability to craft richly layered characters that resonate with readers to this day. I highly recommend 'Old New York' to readers interested in exploring the complexities of class, wealth, and power in 19th century America. Wharton's astute social commentary and timeless storytelling make this collection a must-read for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the human condition and the lasting impact of societal expectations.
