Synopsis "La edad de la inocencia (in Spanish)"

El mundo ordenado y placentero de Newland Archer parece un lugar seguro. Está comprometido con May Welland, joven radiante y serena que, como él, pertenece a una de las "mejores familias" de la Nueva York de fines de siglo diecinueve. Pero cuando una prima de May -la exquisita y sugerente condesa Olenska- vuelve de Europa huyendo de su marido, ese pequeño universo de protocolos y convenciones sociales, de ópera y club, vacaciones en la playa y comidas selectas, se resquebraja dolorosa y fatalmente. En silencio, en muda confabulación, el círculo que rodea a Newland y May se cierra cada vez más para expulsar a esa extranjera que desafía y amenaza un modo de vida cuyo fin, a pesar de la ciega resistencia que le oponen, es inevitable.

Edith Wharton was born in New York in 1862. Her maiden name was Edith Newbold Jones. Her family was upper class, comparable to European aristocracy, and consequently she received a meticulous private education. In 1907, she settled in France, where she became a disciple and friend of Henry James. Her most famous work is The Age of Innocence, published in 1920 and winner of the Pulitzer Prize in 1921. She is considered the most brilliant American novelist of her generation, admired by intellectuals of the stature of Henry James, Francis Scott Fitzgerald, Jean Cocteau, and Ernest Hemingway.
