معلومات عن هذا الكتاب الإلكتروني
Edith Wharton's novel 'Summer' examines the social and moral constraints on a small-town girl named Charity Royall as she navigates love, desire, and societal expectations in the early 20th century. Written in Wharton's elegant and vivid prose style, the book delves into themes of class, gender, and personal freedom, making it a quintessential piece of American literary realism. Wharton captures the tensions between tradition and individual agency with nuance and sensitivity, offering readers a rich and thought-provoking narrative. 'Summer' stands as a compelling exploration of the complexities of human relationships and the struggle for self-discovery in a restrictive society. Edith Wharton, known for her keen observations of the American upper class, brings her signature insight and skill to this poignant story of love and longing. Her own experiences as a member of the privileged elite likely informed her portrayal of Charity's struggle for independence and fulfillment in a world that seeks to confine her. 'Summer' is a must-read for those interested in classic literature, social commentary, and the human experience.
نبذة عن المؤلف
Edith Wharton, nee Edith Newbold Jones, born January 24, 1862, was an American novelist, short story writer, and designer. Wharton came from a wealthy New York family and drew upon her knowledge of upper-crust society to realistically portray the lives and morals of the Gilded Age. Although often remembered for 'The Age of Innocence' for which she won a Pulitzer Prize, one of her notable works, 'Summer' (1917), reflects her narrative prowess and grasp of emotional subtleties. 'Summer' is significant for its exploration of a young woman's awakening and the complexities of class and gender dynamics in turn-of-the-century society. Wharton's literary style is characterized by its elegance, incisive wit, and keen observation, particularly of the social strata she inhabited. She was skilled in depicting the intricacies of her character's inner lives and the constraints imposed upon them by their milieu. Wharton broke down barriers for women in the literary world and left an indelible mark with her extensive canon of work which contributed to the richness of American literature. She continued writing until her death on August 11, 1937, leaving behind a legacy of novels, short stories, and essays that continue to captivate readers and scholars alike.
