A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Edith Wharton's novella Ethan Frome (1911) is a classic of American literature. A young girl, Mattie Silver is hired to keep house on the bleak New England farm belonging to Ethan Frome and his sickly wife Zeena, who is her cousin. Mattie completely captures Ethan's heart but the would-be lovers are kept apart by the spiteful Zeena, who then banishes the girl without warning. Before she leaves, Ethan takes Mattie on a promised sled run, with profound and dreadful consequences. Also included in this volume are four of Wharton's celebrated tales of the supernatural: The Triumph of Night; Kerfol; Afterward; and The Eyes.
