Specificatii
A New York Review Books Original Edith Wharton wrote about New York
as only a native can. Her Manhattan is a city of well-appointed
drawing rooms, hansoms and broughams, all-night cotillions, and
resplendent Fifth Avenue flats. Bishops' nieces mingle with
bachelor industrialists; respectable wives turn into excellent
mistresses. All are governed by a code of behavior as rigid as it
is precarious. What fascinates Wharton are the points of weakness
in the structure of Old New York: the artists and writers at its
fringes, the free-love advocates testing its limits, widows and
divorcees struggling to hold their own. The New York Stories of
Edith Wharton gathers twenty stories of the city, written over the
course of Wharton's career. From her first published story, Mrs.
Manstey's View, to one of her last and most celebrated, Roman
Fever, this new collection charts the growth of an American master
and enriches our understanding of the central themes of her work,
among them the meaning of marriage, the struggle for artistic
integrity, the bonds between parent and child, and the plight of
the aged. Illuminated by Roxana Robinson's Introduction, these
stories showcase Wharton's astonishing insight into the turbulent
inner lives of the men and women caught up in a rapidly changing
society.
