The Age Of Innocence

Edith Wharton's novel reworks the eternal triangle of two women and a man in a strikingly original manner. The consequent drama, set in New York during the 1870s, reveals terrifying chasms under the polished surface of upper-class society as the increasingly fraught Archer struggles with conflicting obligations and desires.

Romanul lui Edith Wharton reinterpreteaza triunghiul etern dintre doua femei si un barbat intr-o maniera izbitor de originala. Drama care urmeaza, plasata in New York-ul anilor 1870, dezvaluie prapastii terifiante sub suprafata lustruita a societatii de clasa superioara, in timp ce Archer, din ce in ce mai tensionat, se lupta cu obligatii si dorinte conflictuale.
