Edith Wharton 26807

Age of innocence

Modern Library. Paperback. Pp: 270. Selected by the Modern Library as one of the 100 best novels of all timeNewland Archer saw little to envy in the marriages of his friends, yet he prided himself that in May Welland he had found the companion of his needs-tender and impressionable, with equal purity of mind and manners. The engagement was announced discreetly, but all of New York society was soon privy to this most perfect match, a union of families and circumstances cemented by affection.        Enter Countess Olenska, a woman of quick wit sharpened by experience, not afraid to flout convention and determined to find freedom in divorce. Against his judgment, Newland is drawn to the socially ostracized Ellen Olenska, who opens his eyes and has the power to make him feel. He knows that in sweet-tempered May, he can expect stability and the steadying comfort of duty. But what new worlds could he discover with Ellen? Written with elegance and wry precision, Edith Wharton's Pulitzer Prize-winning masterpiece is a tragic love story and a powerful homily about the perils of a perfect marriage.Commentary by William Lyon Phelps and E. M. Forster. ISBN: 9780375753206. Cond./Kwaliteit: Goed.

The Age of Innocence

Everyman's Library, 1993. Linnen band met stofomslag. Pp: 308. Edith Wharton's novel reworks the eternal triangle of two women and a man in a strikingly original manner. When about to marry the beautiful and conventional May Welland, Newland Archer falls in love with her very unconventional cousin, the Countess Olenska. The consequent drama, set in New York during the 1870s, reveals terrifying chasms under the polished surface of upper-class society as the increasingly fraught Archer struggles with conflicting obligations and desires. The first woman to do so, Edith Wharton won the Pulitzer Prize for this dark comedy of manners which was immediately recognized as one of her greatest achievements. ISBN: 9781857152029.

The House of Mirth

Signet Classic, 2000. Paperback. Pp: 350. A literary sensation when it was published by Scribners in 1905, The House of Mirth quickly established Edith Wharton as the most important American woman of letters in the twentieth century. The first American novel to provide a devastatingly accurate portrait of New York's aristocracy, it is the story of the beautiful and beguiling Lily Bart and her ill-fated attempt to rise to the heights of a heartless society in which, ultimately, she has no part.

Romeinse koorts

Uitgeverij G.A. Van Oorschot B.V. 2014. Paperback. Pp: 313. Veel van de personages in Edith Whartons verhalen zijn rijke Amerikanen die in de eerste decennia van de vorige eeuw in Europa verblijven of rondreizen door de Maghreb, zoals Wharton zelf ook deed. Met meesterlijke humor, een haarscherp psychologisch inzicht en een groot gevoel voor couleur locale weet Wharton het bijzondere algemeen en van alle tijden te maken. De keuze en de vertaling van Lisette Graswinckel doen recht aan de precisie en soepelheid van Whartons taal en de rijkdom van haar thema's. ISBN: 9789028242173. Cond./Kwaliteit: Goed.
