Edith Wharton : Novellas and Other Writings : Madame De Treymes / Ethan Frome / Summer / Old New York / The Mother's Recompense / A Backward Glance (Library of America)

Edith Wharton's novellas are so well crafted they are a pleasure to read and savor. The hardback copy i bought was wonderfully bound, with very readable print. A fine purchase.

This is a senior seminar requirement for me. Her works are very interesting. The book has notes and a valuable chronology of Wharton's life in the back.

It's been a pleasure reading this Edith Wharton's book. She involves us in an atmosphere of beauty and romance, that lead us to profound thinking about life.

Excellent..all in one book..which is lovely!!

I need this text to write my thesis, in American Literature. The text is hard to find outside the USA or the UK, and luckyly it arrived very soon ( 2 weeks) and in perfect condition, almost new. Italian buyers please keep in mind that you will be chargd of 10 more euros at the time of the delivery, because of some italian border fees and other stuff. The price is however very low, so I overall had not too much complaints.

I had to read this in under two hours for a literary project and I was very pleased to discover an author who managed to write such a constant yet emotional plot in less than 100 pages. It still hasn't dawned on me whether or not Durham was sensible in his choice. I will be writing a full analysis this week so if ever you need help, email me, and I'd be glad to be of service. Good read for the intellectually stimulating conversationalists.

Ethan has been in the same place all of his life and never found a true love. Then mattie came and for once ethan stopped looking at what would be best and started looking for that wonderful feeling.
