Krátky popis
Edith Wharton (1862–1937) wrote carefully structured fiction that
probed the psychological and social elements guiding the behavior
of her characters. Her portrayals of upper-class New Yorkers were
unrivaled. The Age of Innocence, for which Wharton won the Pulitzer
Prize in 1920, is one of her most memorable novels. At the heart of
the story are three people whose entangled lives are deeply
affected by the tyrannical and rigid requirements of high society.
Newland Archer, a restrained young attorney, is engaged to the
lovely May Welland but falls in love with May's beautiful and
unconventional cousin, Countess Ellen Olenska. Despite his fear of
a dull marriage to May, Archer goes through with the ceremony —
persuaded by his own sense of honor, family, and societal
pressures. He continues to see Ellen after the marriage, but his
dreams of living a passionate life ultimately cease. The novel's
lucid and penetrating prose style, vivid characterization, and its
rendering of the social history of an era have long made it a
favorite with readers and critics alike.
