The Edith Wharton Collection (Complete and Unabridged) Including
Edith Wharton (1862 - 1937), was a Pulitzer Prize-winning American novelist and short story writer. She grew up in upper-class pre-WWI society and many of her stories critique this culture, using subtle irony. In this volume are brought together her six most acclaimed works:
The Age of Innocence,
Ethan Frome,
The House of Mirth,
Summer,
The Custom of the Country and
The Reef.
Enjoy the beauty of Wharton's writing in this great collection, where the characters are beautifully captured, they struggle between duty and love in a society that dreads scandal more than disease and they wrestle courageously against their sometimes tragic fates. Wharton writes fine and intense narratives and is the greatest critic of her society.

The Age of Innocence
Edith Wharton’s acclaimed novel of love, duty, and half-known truths in Gilded Age New York society, with a foreword by bestselling author Elif Batuman.<BR><BR>A Penguin Vitae Edition<BR><BR>Dutiful Newland Archer, an eligible young man from New York high society, is about to announce his engagement to May Welland, a suitable match from a good family, when May’s cousin, the beautiful and exotic Countess Ellen Olenska, is introduced into their circle. The Countess brings with her an aura of European sophistication and a hint of perceived scandal, having left her husband and claimed her independence. Her worldliness, disregard for society’s rules, and air of unapproachability attract the sensitive Newland, despite his enthusiasm about a marriage to May and the societal advantages it would bring. Almost against their will, Newland and Ellen develop a passionate bond, and a classic love triangle takes shape as the three young people find themselves drawn into a poignant and bitter conflict between love and duty. Written in 1920, Edith Wharton’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel about a time and place long gone by—1870s New York City—beautifully captures the complexities of passion, independence, and fulfillment, and how painfully hard it can be for individuals to truly see one another and their place in the world.<BR><BR>Penguin Classics presents Penguin Vitae, loosely translated as “Penguin of one’s life,” a deluxe hardcover series featuring a dynamic landscape of classic fiction and nonfiction that has shaped the course of our readers' lives. Penguin Vitae invites readers to find themselves in a diverse world of storytellers, with beautifully designed classic editions of personal inspiration, intellectual engagement, and creative originality.

False Dawn
Lewis Raycie, a soft-spoken and thoughtful young American, has just come of age and is departing on a well-funded two-year grand tour of Europe. His overbearing father gives him clear instructions to collect art-the works of the well-known masters-that will form the beginning of a family gallery and enhance the Raycie legacy. Lewis strays from this mission and arrives back in New York with new works by obscure artists whose importance won't be understood until much later; the rift this causes in the family sets Lewis's life in an entirely new direction.
Published in Wharton's 1924 collection Old New York alongside other novellas that look back at the nineteenth century, False Dawn examines the hopes and disappointments of 1840s New York.
