But it was, in fact, only in the wake of the First World War that the New York society she had been born into and in which she had passed her adolescence and early married years became, in her view, old New York. Tbe Age of Innocence (finished in 1920) is her reminiscent and shrewdly ambivalent survey of her own old New York, and it is a novel in which perspective~the long gaze backward across the ruins of time~is everything. It is certainly one of the very best of her many novels (it is one of the few really first~class works of fiction to win the Pulitzer Prize, as it did in 1921). Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 2192602

Zustand: Very Good+. Other than a name on the end page, this is a tight and unmarked copy-" Newland Archer comes to question the values of high society in Victorian New York Review: Somewhere in this book, Wharton observes that clever liars always come up with good stories to back up their fabrications, but that really clever liars don't bother to explain anything at all. This is the kind of insight that makes The Age of Innocence so indispensable. Wharton's story of the upper classes of Old New York, and Newland Archer's impossible love for the disgraced Countess Olenska, is a perfectly wrought book about an era when the upper-class culture in this country was still a mixture of American and European extracts, and when "society" had rules as rigid as any in history."-Wear and tear on edges of DJ.
