Více o knize

Edith Wharton, an influential American writer, expertly depicted the lives and morals of the Gilded Age elite through her intimate understanding of upper-class society in New York. She made history as the first woman to win the Pulitzer Prize in Literature in 1921 for The Age of Innocence and was later honored in the National Women's Hall of Fame. Despite starting her writing career later in life, she produced an impressive body of work, including 15 novels, seven novellas, and numerous short stories, poetry, and critical essays.
