The Spraggs, a family of midwesterners from the fictional city of Apex who have made money through somewhat shady financial dealings, arrive in New York City at the prompting of their beautiful, ambitious, but socially-naive daughter, Undine. She marries Ralph Marvell, a member of an old New York family that no longer enjoys significant wealth. Before her wedding, Undine encounters an acquaintance from Apex named Elmer Moffatt, a character with "a genuine disdain for religious piety and social cant," as the scholar Elaine Showalter observes. Undine begs him not to do anything that will...

The Fruit of the Tree
ISBN: 9781591021940 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 633 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Originally published in 1907, this little-known novel by Edith Wharton (1862-1937), the author of The Age of Innocence and Ethan Frome, was considered controversial for its frank treatment of such issues as labour and industrial condition, drug addiction, mercy killing, desire, and divorce and second marriages. John Amherst, an idealistic middle manager in a New England textile mill, is committed to improving the deplorable working conditions of the labourers in his charge. But upper management, whose only concern is maximising profits, frustrates his efforts. When Amherst eventually marries...

Madame de Treymes. By: Edith Wharton (illustrated): Novel (World's classic's)
ISBN: 9781542409926 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 42 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Edith Wharton's "Madame de Treymes" is a remarkable example of the form. It is the story of the tactical defeat but moral victory of an honest and upstanding American in his struggle to win a wife from a tightly united but feudally minded French aristocratic family. He loses, but they cheat. . . . In a masterpiece of brevity, Wharton dramatizes the contrast between the two opposing forces: the simple and proper old brownstone New York, low in style but high in principle, and the achingly beautiful but decadent Saint-Germain district of Paris. Edith Wharton ( born Edith Newbold Jones; January...

Ethan Frome
ISBN: 9781517171537 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 104 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. ETHAN FROME I had the story, bit by bit, from various people, and, as generally happens in such cases, each time it was a different story. If you know Starkfield, Massachusetts, you know the post-office. If you know the post-office you must have seen Ethan Frome drive up to it, drop the reins on his hollow-backed bay and drag himself across the brick pavement to the white colonnade; and you must have asked who he was. It was there that, several years ago, I saw him for the first time; and the sight pulled me up sharp. Even then he was the most striking figure in Starkfield, though he was but...

The Ghost Stories
ISBN: 9788028510961 / Angielski / Miękka / 236 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Edith Wharton's 'The Ghost Stories' is a compelling collection that delves into the ethereal realms of the supernatural and the psychological. Encompassing tales that range from eerie hauntings to subtle psychological encounters with the otherworldly, Wharton employs her trademark eloquence and polished prose to explore themes of nostalgia, the passage of time, and the spectral ties of human relationships. Set against the backdrop of early 20th-century society, the stories reflect the author's keen insights into human nature and societal norms, intertwining the haunting with the familiar in a...

"Professor Ammons' excellent edition is essential for students interested in a contextualized approach to Wharton's The House of Mirth." --Andrew Kopec, Indiana University-Purdue University Fort Wayne "A staple in my feminist theory and sex-gender courses, this novel provides endless opportunities for discussion of the situation of women, of performing 'feminine, ' and of the insecurities and dangers for women in a society with limited economic possibilities. This is an excellent edition and I appreciate it." --Paula Backscheider, Auburn University

Summer
ISBN: 9781540315854 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 126 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Summer is the story of Charity Royall, a child of mountain moonshiners adopted by a family in a poor New England town, who has a passionate love affair with Lucius Harney, an educated man from the city. Wharton broke the conventions of women's romantic fiction by making Charity a thoroughly independent modern woman-in touch with her emotions and sexuality, yet kept from love and the larger world she craves by the overwhelming pressures of heredity and society.
