Synopsis
Considered by many to be her masterpiece, Edith Wharton's second full-length work is a scathing yet personal examination of the exploits and follies of the modern upper class. As she unfolds the story of Undine Spragg, from New York to Europe, Wharton affords us a detailed glimpse of what might be called the interior décor of this America and its nouveau riche fringes. Through a heroine who is as vain, spoiled, and selfish as she is irresistibly fascinating, and through a most intricate and satisfying plot that follows Undine's marriages and affairs, she conveys a vision of social behavior that is both supremely informed and supremely disenchanted. - Anita Brookner

Condition: As New. : Publicada por primera vez en 1913, "The Custom of the Country" es considerada por muchos críticos como la novela más sustancial de Edith Wharton. Esta poderosa saga narra la historia de Undine Spragg, una mujer de extraordinaria ambición y vitalidad exuberante que, debido a su género, se ve relegada al mundo de las sombras de los salones y tocadores de la alta sociedad.A través de una protagonista tan vanidosa, consentida y egoísta como fascinante, Wharton ofrece un examen mordaz y personal de las hazañas y locuras de la clase alta moderna. Con una trama intrincada que sigue los matrimonios y aventuras de Undine desde Nueva York hasta Europa, la autora transmite una visión del comportamiento social que es a la vez profundamente informada y profundamente desencantada.
