The Age of Innocence

Immerse yourself in the exquisite world of New York's Gilded Age with Edith Wharton's The Age of Innocence—a Pulitzer Prize-winning novel that explores the delicate balance between passion and duty.

Step into the opulent society of 1870s New York, where tradition and social expectations dictate every move. The Age of Innocence follows the life of Newland Archer, a man caught between the desire for a life of genuine love and the pressures of a society that values propriety above all else. As Newland navigates his engagement to the lovely but conventional May Welland, his world is turned upside down by the return of the alluring and unconventional Countess Ellen Olenska. Through Wharton's sharp and elegant prose, readers are drawn into a story of forbidden love, societal pressures, and the painful choices that define our lives. The novel's rich characterizations and vivid depictions of a bygone era make it a compelling read that resonates even today.

Hailed as a literary masterpiece, The Age of Innocence earned Edith Wharton the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction, making her the first woman to win the award. The novel has been celebrated by critics and readers alike, with The New York Times calling it "a brilliant dissection of the morals and mores of a vanishing world." Adapted into an Academy Award-winning film by Martin Scorsese, this timeless classic continues to capture the hearts and minds of audiences around the globe.
