The Age of Innocence, Hardback Book

The Age of Innocence Hardback

Part of the Macmillan Collector's Library series

Hardback

Description

Edith Wharton’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, The Age of Innocence, is both a poignant story of frustrated love and an extraordinarily vivid, delightfully satirical record of a vanished world – the Gilded Age of New York City. Part of the Macmillan Collector’s Library; a series of stunning, clothbound, pocket sized classics with gold foiled edges and ribbon markers.

These beautiful hardbacks make perfect gifts for book lovers, or wonderful additions to your own collection.

This edition features an introduction by award-winning novelist Rachel Cusk, author of Outline. As the scion of one of New York’s leading families, Newland Archer has been born into a life of sumptuous privilege and strict duty.

But the arrival of the Countess Olenska, a free spirit who breathes clouds of European sophistication, makes him question the path on which his upbringing has set him.

As his fascination with her grows, he discovers just how hard it is to escape the bonds of the society that has shaped him.

The novel was the inspiration for Martin Scorsese's film of the same name, starring Daniel Day-Lewis and Winona Ryder.
