'We can't behave like people in novels, though, can we?'

Newland Archer and May Welland are the perfect couple. He is a wealthy young lawyer and she is a lovely and sweet-natured girl. All seems set for success until the arrival of May's unconventional cousin Ellen Olenska, who returns from Europe without her husband and proceeds to shake up polite New York society. To Newland, she is a breath of fresh air and a free spirit, but the bond that develops between them throws his values into confusion and threatens his relationship with May.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Edith Wharton (Author)
Edith Wharton was born in New York City on January 24, 1862. Edith married Teddy Wharton, who was 12 years older. They lived a life of relative ease with homes in New York, Rhode Island, and Massachusetts. Edith became a prolific writer and produced over 40 books in 40 years.
Edith divorced Teddy in 1912, having no immediate heirs, and never married again. She was the first woman awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction, an honorary Doctorate of Letters from Yale University, and a full membership in the American Academy of Arts and Letters. Her novels became so popular that Ms. Wharton was able to live comfortably on her earnings the rest of her life. Edith continued to write until a stroke took her life in August 1937.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

Vintage Deco series, celebrating the decadence and drama of the Roaring Twenties. The 1920s continues to capture the collective imagination with its parties, jazz, female liberation, travel, wealth and flamboyance. Art Deco is one of the most visually distinctive eras of all time and these gorgeous editions are a distillation of that aesthetic.
