A propos du livre

Biographie de l'auteur

American novelist Edith Wharton (1862 – 1937) was a Pulitzer Prize-winning writer of books and short stories. She was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1927, 1928 and 1930. Wharton used her insider's view of the privileged classes and matched it with her wit to write humorous novels with psychological insight. She was well acquainted with literary and public figures, including Theodore Roosevelt. Her book The Age of Innocence (1920) won the 1921 Pulitzer Prize for literature, making her the first woman to win the award. Her novels are often characterized by dramatic irony. Wharton was born into an upper-class family, and often portrays New York's elite set in a wry, critical light. Her other novels include The House of Mirth and Summer.

Présentation de l'éditeur

It rose for them¿their honey-moon¿over the waters of a lake so famed as the scene of romantic raptures that they were rather proud of not having been afraid to choose it as the setting of their own. (Excerpt)
