Despre autor

Edith Wharton, born Edith Newbold Jones on January 24, 1862, in New York City, emerged as a preeminent figure in American literature, illuminating the complexities of social class and human character with unparalleled nuance. As a member of a wealthy and distinguished family, Wharton's early familiarity with the mores and manners of high society resonated through her fiction, reflected in classics such as 'The Age of Innocence' for which she won the Pulitzer Prize in 1921, becoming the first woman to receive this honor. Wharton's literary style combined keen social criticism with psychological insight in a prose that was both elegantly crafted and richly detailed. An astute observer of the human condition, her narratives often revolved around the moral struggles and personal revelations of her characters, captured against the backdrop of a rapidly changing society. One of her significant yet less celebrated works, 'A Son at the Front' (1923), explores the impact of World War I on individuals and society, showcasing her ability to grapple with timely, universal themes in a personal and empathetic manner. Wharton extended her literary reach beyond fiction, engaging with travel writing, architectural critique, and garden design, and becoming a prolific author with more than forty books. She lived much of her later life in France, where she was honored as a Chevalier of the Legion of Honour for her contributions to French culture and her humanitarian work during the war. Wharton's enduring legacy as a literary icon continues to captivate readers and scholars alike. She died on August 11, 1937, in Saint-Brice-sous-Forêt, France.
