Wharton Edith Title : Febbre romana e altri racconti
Author: Wharton Edith
Publisher: La Tartaruga

In questo volume sono raccolti molti racconti dell'autrice americana, talvolta assimilabili a romanzi in miniatura. In "Febbre romana" due ricche signore americane che si incontrano per caso durante una vacanza romana scoprono, rinvangando vecchi ricordi, un sorpren- dente equivoco che ha condizionato le loro vite. "Falsa partenza" è la storia di un rampollo di buona famiglia che invece di acquistare le croste di pittori allora di moda investe un capitale nei capolavori ancora sconosciuti di Beato Angelico e Mantegna, facendosi diseredare dal ricco e ignorante genitore e finendo povero con i capolavori in soffitta.

Wharton Edith Title : Il canto delle muse
Author: Wharton Edith
Publisher: Corbaccio

Un giovane scrittore e la moglie di un uomo molto in vista decidono di sfidare tutte le convenzioni e lasciano New York per cominciare una vita insieme in Europa. Lei è la sua musa ispiratrice, la sua consigliera, l'organizzatrice del viaggio e della quotidianità. Lui è la nuova promessa del mondo letterario. Le cose non sono facili e il peso delle convenzioni infrante unito alle difficoltà incontrate dallo scrittore nella realizzazione delle sue opere grava irrimediabilmente sull'armonia della coppia. Un amore travagliato e apparentemente impossibile che si dibatte nell'incapacità di entrambi di essere se stessi, al di sopra di ogni "regola".

Wharton Edith Title : The Buccaneers
Author: Wharton Edith
Publisher: Penguin Group USA

Set in the 1870s, the same period as Wharton's The Age of Innocence, The Buccaneers is about five wealthy American girls denied entry into New York Society because their parents' money is too new. At the suggestion of their clever governess, the girls sail to London, where they marry lords, earls, and dukes who find their beauty charming?and their wealth extremely useful.

After Wharton's death in 1937, The Christian Science Monitor said, "If it could have been completed, The Buccaneers would doubtless stand among the richest and most sophisticated of Wharton's novels." Now, with wit and imagination, Marion Mainwaring has finished the story, taking her cue from Wharton's own synopsis. It is a novel any Wharton fan will celebrate and any romantic reader will love. This is the richly engaging story of Nan St. George and guy Thwarte, an American heiress and an English aristocrat, whose love breaks the rules of both their societies.

Wharton Edith Title : The Custom of the Country
Author: Wharton Edith
Publisher: Everymans Library

Highly acclaimed at its publication in 1913, The Custom of the Country is a cutting commentary on America's nouveaux riches, their upward-yearning aspirations and their eventual downfalls. Through her heroine, the beautiful and ruthless Undine Spragg, a spoiled heiress who looks to her next materialistic triumph as her latest conquest throws himself at her feet, Edith Wharton presents a startling, satiric vision of social behavior in all its greedy glory. As Undine moves from America's heartland to Manhattan, and then to Paris, Wharton's critical eye leaves no social class unscathed.

Wharton Edith, Gordon Mary (INT) Title : Ethan Frome and Other Short Fiction
Author: Wharton Edith, Gordon Mary (INT)
Publisher: Bantam Classic & Loveswept

On a bleak New England farm, a taciturn young man has resigned himself to a life of grim endurance. Bound by circumstance to a woman he cannot love, Ethan Frome is haunted by a past of lost possibilities until his wife's orphaned cousin, Mattie Silver, arrives and he is tempted to make one final, desperate effort to escape his fate. In language that is spare, passionate, and enduring, Edith Wharton tells this unforgettable story of two tragic lovers overwhelmed by the unrelenting forces of conscience and necessity.

Included with Ethan Frome are the novella The Touchstone and three short stories, “The Last Asset,” “The Other Two,” and “Xingu.” Together, this collection offers a survey of the extraordinary range and power of one of America's finest writers.

Wharton Edith Title : The Custom of the Country
Author: Wharton Edith
Publisher: Bantam Classic & Loveswept

First published in 1913, Edith Wharton's The Custom of the Country is a scathing novel of ambition featuring one of the most ruthless heroines in literature. Undine Spragg is as unscrupulous as she is magnetically beautiful. Her rise to the top of New York's high society from the nouveau riche provides a provocative commentary on the upwardly mobile and the aspirations that eventually cause their ruin. One of Wharton's most acclaimed works, The Custom of the Country is a stunning indictment of materialism and misplaced values that is as powerful today for its astute observations about greed and power as when it was written nearly a century ago.

Wharton Edith Title : Raggi di luna
Author: Wharton Edith
Publisher: Corbaccio

Sposi per un anno. Questo è il patto che Nick e Susy Lansing hanno stipulato: rimanere uniti nella buona sorte fino a quando il denaro dei regali di nozze e l'ospitalità degli amici consentirà loro di continuare la luna di miele. Fin dall'inizio, la macchina perfetta del matrimonio concordato si inceppa, incalzata da un elemento imprevisto: l'amore. Capriccioso, incoerente, poco incline a compromessi e a sfumature, esso si insinua nella mente ordinata e onesta di Nick, e in quella di Susy, incapace di rinunciare ai suoi sogni di grandezza. E allora, di nuovo soli, liberi, come amavano dire prima di sposarsi. Ma l'amore che paradossalmente li ha separati, si è talmente insinuato nel loro cuore da ricongiungerli.

Wharton Edith Title : Summer
Author: Wharton Edith
Publisher: Bantam Classic & Loveswept

Considered by some to be her finest work, Edith Wharton's Summer created a sensation when first published in 1917, as it was one of the first novels to deal honestly with a young woman's sexual awakening.

Summer is the story of Charity Royall, a child of mountain moonshiners adopted by a family in a poor New England town, who has a passionate love affair with Lucius Harney, an educated man from the city. Wharton broke the conventions of women's romantic fiction by making Charity a thoroughly independent modern woman—in touch with her emotions and sexuality, yet kept from love and the larger world she craves by the overwhelming pressures of heredity and society.

Praised for its realism and honesty by such writers as Joseph Conrad and Henry James and compared to Flaubert's Madame Bovary, Summer remains as fresh and powerful a novel today as when it was first written.

Wharton Edith Title : Summer
Author: Wharton Edith
Publisher: Penguin Classics

A tale of forbidden sexual passion and thwarted dreams played out against the lush, summer backdrop of the Massachusetts Berkshires Edith Wharton called Summer her "hot Ethan." In their rural settings and their poor, uneducated protagonists, Summer (1916) and Ethan Frome represent a sharp departure from Wharton's familiar depictions of the urban upper class. Charity Royall lives unhappily with her hard-drinking adoptive father in an isolated village, until a visiting architect awakens her sexual passion and the hope for escape. Exploring Charity's relation to her father and her lover, Wharton delves into dark cultural territory: repressed sexuality, small-town prejudice, and, in subtle hints, incest.

Wharton Edith Title : The House of Mirth
Author: Wharton Edith
Publisher: Penguin Classics

"Uniquely authentic among American novels of manners." --Louis Auchincloss The House of Mirth is the novel that first established the literary reputation of Pulitzer Prize-winner Edith Wharton. In it, she honed her devastating acerbic style, created one of her most memorable heroines in Lily Bart, and discovered her defining theme: the vulgarity, greed, human frailty, and false social values that form the true foundation of New York society.

Author: Wharton Edith
Publisher: Corbaccio

Al centro di questo romanzo c'è una figura di donna tenera, eppure volitiva, desiderosa di affermare la propria individualità, disposta ad affrontare molto in nome della libertà di amare l'uomo che ha scelto e destinata a veder naufragare il suo sogno contro l'ostile rifiuto di una società schiava dei pregiudizi. La cornice è il dorato mondo dell'aristocrazia newyorkese di fine secolo, un mondo brillante e animatissimo che però condanna senza remissione alla solitudine chiunque voglia sottrarsi alle sue convenzioni.
