Эдит Уортон — библиография

Edith Wharton (1862-1937), the grande dame of American literature, was also a subtle and spirited critic of its society. Twenty years earlier, Kate Clephane had exiled herself from husband, child and the rigidity of New York society because of her guilty elopement. Now, living quietly on the Rivera, she is overjoyed to be summoned home by her daughter, Anne. But back in the charmed circle, she finds post-war New York, though changed in many ways, still locked into petty and snobbish constrictions. This touching study of complex issues shows how Kate’s joy in being with Anne is soon threatened by the reappearance of the only man Kate had…

Жуткая история на Хэллоуин о женщине, которая живет со своими слугами в отдаленном доме в Коннектикуте. Однажды в конце октября она попадает в аварию и ломает лодыжку... а затем следуют самые ужасающие и загадочные 36 часов ее жизни.

Молодая дама получает в наследство поместье, приезжает туда и пытается навести порядки, но все слуги не горят желанием ее слушаться и ссылаются на то, что нужно разрешение управляющего — мистера Джоунза. Сам же мистер Джоунз не спешит показываться на глаза новой хозяйке. Концовка открывает семейную тайну и даже напоминает нечто остросюжетное.

Классический роман Эдит Уортон (1862-1937) о нравах американского высшего света начала века, послуживший основой для одноименного фильма Мартина Скорсезе.

Los libros de Wharton son testimonio de las transformaciones que sufr?a Nueva York a principios del siglo XX, de las grandes mansiones frente a Central Park hasta las zonas de los obreros explotados, reducidos a una vida indigna en sus diminutos departamentos. A pesar de que no apoy? ni el movimiento sufragista de las mujeres ni el feminismo de su ?poca, las protagonistas de estos dos relatos, y de buena parte de sus libros, son mujeres fuertes, apasionadas y decididas.
