About this book
Step into the opulent world of Gilded Age New York, where love and duty collide in Edith Wharton's Pulitzer Prize-winning masterpiece, The Age of Innocence.
In a society bound by strict traditions, Newland Archer, a promising young lawyer, is set to marry the beautiful and proper May Welland. But when May's cousin, the unconventional and enigmatic Countess Ellen Olenska, reenters New York's high society, Newland finds himself torn between passion and responsibility. As he struggles with his desires and the weight of societal expectations, Wharton masterfully explores themes of love, honor, and the price of freedom.
A brilliant and poignant portrayal of an era on the brink of change, The Age of Innocence remains one of literature's most enduring and elegantly written novels.
Winner of the 1921 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction, making Edith Wharton the first woman to receive the honor.
Hailed as "a remarkable study of old New York society" by literary critics.
Adapted into the Academy Award-winning film directed by Martin Scorsese, starring Daniel Day-Lewis, Michelle Pfeiffer, and Winona Ryder.
Perfect for lovers of classic literature, historical fiction, and social dramas, The Age of Innocence is a must-read for anyone who enjoys deeply moving, beautifully written novels. Get your copy today and immerse yourself in this unforgettable story of love and sacrifice!
