The Age of Innocence - Mil Folhas Collection 46

The Age of Innocence is a timeless book about the complex relationship between societal traditions and individual desires.

A masterful fresco of the desire and betrayal within New York's elite at the end of the 19th century, this novel follows the story of a man confronted with a heartbreaking decision: either bravely define his life or mercilessly ruin it.

With maturity, Edith Wharton seeks to understand the values that guided American society until World War I, then to welcome the new era that was beginning, and has presented us with a ruthless and profoundly current novel.
