Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. "Precociously aphoristic and coolly unsentimental . . . Like Fitzgerald but from a woman's perspective . . . As if Dorothy Parker, Noël Coward, and Oscar Wilde had collaborated to examine the war between the sexes in the post-Victorian era." --Joyce Carol Oates, The New York Review of Books An instant bestseller when it was published anonymously in 1929, Ex-Wife is the story of a divorce and its aftermath that scandalized the Jazz Age--and still resonates today. It's 1924, and Peter and Patricia have what looks to be a very modern marriage. Both drink. Both smoke. Both work, Patricia as a head copywriter at a major department store. When it comes to sex with other people, both believe in "the honesty policy." Until they don't. Or, at least, until Peter doesn't--and a shell-shocked, lovesick Patricia finds herself starting out all over again, but this time around as a different kind of single woman: the ex-wife. An instant bestseller when it was published anonymously in 1929, Ex-Wife captures the speakeasies, night clubs, and parties that defined Jazz Age New York--alongside the morning-after aspirin and calisthenics, the lunch-hour visits to the gym, the girl-talk, and the freedoms and anguish of solitude. It also casts a cool eye on the bedrooms and the doctor's offices where, despite rising hemlines, the men still call the shots. The result is a unique view of what its author Ursula Parrott called "the era of the one-night stand": an era very much like our own.…

Zustand: New. Idioma/Language: Español. Nueva York, 1924. Peter y Patricia son el perfecto ejemplo del matrimonio moderno. Ambos fuman, beben y trabajan. En cuanto al sexo con terceros, creen firmemente en la «política de la honestidad»? hasta que él deja de creer. De pronto, Patricia se ve obligada a labrarse una nueva vida como soltera. Un tipo de soltera muy particular: la divorciada. Redactora de anuncios de moda en unos grandes almacenes, Patricia tratará de conciliar las dos facetas de una mujer liberada: trabajadora diligente de día, joven hedonista y sofisticada de noche. Pero la frivolidad de la vida mundana, la nostalgia por un ideal irrecuperable del amor eterno y los romances fallidos con hombres poco disponibles le hacen sospechar que «la libertad para las mujeres resultó ser el mayor regalo que Dios les hizo a los hombres». Escrita poco después del amargo divorcio de su autora, esta novela fue un auténtico succès de scandale y vendió más de cien mil ejemplares cuando se publicó anónimamente en 1929. Lejos de ser un canto desenfadado a la emancipación femenina, es un retrato irónico y feroz de los desafíos que conllevaba ser una mujer libre en una época en que, pese a los vientos de cambio, los hombres seguían teniendo mando en plaza. Esta obra ha recibido una ayuda a la edición del Ministerio de Cultura y Deporte. La crítica ha dicho. . . «Me noqueó. Me emocionó profundamente su habilidad para plasmar por escrito las sutilezas de la pérdida del amor a la vez que la pérdida de la juventud. Un libro extraordinario. » Vivian Gornick «Una novela ambientada en el inframundo de Manhattan: alborotado, cargado de alcohol, promiscuo y repleto de romances. » Joyce Carol Oates «Léelo si te gustan la malicia, ir de compras, desayunar a la hora de la cena, capear las adversidades con dignidad y las Crónicas de los Cazalet de Elizabeth Jane Howard. » New York Times «Parrott debería situarse en los altares de la literatura lapidaria a la altura de Dorothy Parker o Nora Ephron. » Isabel Gómez Melenchón, La Vanguardia *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.
