À propos de l?auteur

Edith Wharton (1862-1937) was an American novelist, short story writer, and designer, and the first woman to win the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction. Born into a prominent New York family, she is best known for novels such as The House of Mirth and The Age of Innocence, which examine the moral codes and social structures of Gilded Age society. During the First World War, Wharton lived in France and devoted herself to relief efforts, for which she was awarded the French Legion of Honour. Her wartime experiences deeply informed A Son at the Front, one of her most serious political and moral novels.
