Through rich, atmospheric prose and keen psychological insight, Wharton delves into the lives of its upper-class society, revealing the intricate dance between propriety, ambition, and moral complexity. The collection intertwines narratives of love, betrayal, and the often-punitive nature of social expectations, bringing to life a milieu where elegance and decay coexist, and where characters grapple with the weight of tradition against the surge of modernity. Edith Wharton, an American novelist and leading figure of the literary elite, draws upon her own experiences as a member of the elite society she depicts. Her deep understanding of the cultural intricacies and tensions within high society, combined with her personal observations, fuels her narratives. Whartons background and vantage point provide her with the unique ability to both celebrate and critique the world she inhabited, allowing for a nuanced portrayal of its constraints and complexities. "Old New York" is an essential read for those interested in American literature and social history. Whartons astute observations and masterful storytelling not only illuminate the past but also resonate with contemporary themes of identity and societal pressure. This collection invites readers to reflect on the enduring impacts of class and culture, making it a pivotal addition to any literary canon.</p>...1249392Old New York (Four-Book Collection)4545https://www.gandhi.com.mx/old-new-york-four-book-collection/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/273998/1a26c541-304e-465f-8d41-b1b069d0b796.jpg?v=638334056008470000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20228596547388319_W3siaWQiOiJmNjJiODQzNi00ODRkLTQyZDktYjIwOS0wOTM2YzA1NWM4NjAiLCJsaXN0UHJpY2UiOjQ1LCJkaXNjb3VudCI6MCwic2VsbGluZ1ByaWNlIjo0NSwiaW5jbHVkZXNUYXgiOnRydWUsInByaWNlVHlwZSI6Ildob2xlc2FsZSIsImN1cnJlbmN5IjoiTVhOIiwiZnJvbSI6IjIwMjUtMDEtMjJUMDk6MDA6MDBaIiwicmVnaW9uIjoiTVgiLCJpc1ByZW9yZGVyIjpmYWxzZX1d8596547388319_<p>Old New York (1924) is a collection of four novellas by Edith Wharton, revolving around upper-class New York City society in the 1840s, 1850s, 1860s, and 1870s. The novellas reveal the tribal codes and customs that ruled society, portrayed with the keen style that is uniquely Edith Whartons. Originally published in 1924 and long out of print, these tales are vintage Wharton, dealing boldly with such themes as infidelity, illegitimacy, jealousy, the class system, and the condition of women in society Included in this remarkable quartet are False Dawn, The Old Maid, The Spark, and New Years Day. The decades indicated in the subtitles to the stories make them prequels, after a fashion, to The Age of Innocence. All five might as well be cut from the same bolt of cloth, sharing settings, characters, social insight, a similar knowing eye for a telling detail. Edith Wharton (1862-1937) was a Pulitzer Prize-winning American novelist, short story writer, and designer. She became known for her psychological examination of characters faced with changes in the moral and social values of middle-class and upper-class society. Her novels and short stories provide numerous expert characterizations of complex men and women.</p>...(*_*)8596547388319_<p>In "Old New York," Edith Wharton presents a captivating four-book collection that intricately explores the social mores and distinctive cultural landscape of late 19th-century New York City.
