Crucial Instances

Autor Edith Wharton
en Limba Engleză Paperback
Have you ever questioned the long shuttered front of an old Italian house, that motionless mask, smooth, mute, equivocal as the face of a priest behind which buzz the secrets of the confessional? Other houses declare the activities they shelter; they are the clear expressive cuticle of a life flowing close to the surface; but the old palace in its narrow street, the villa on its cypress-hooded hill, are as impenetrable as death. The tall windows are like blind eyes, the great door is a shut mouth. Inside there may be sunshine, the scent of myrtles, and a pulse of life through all the arteries of the huge frame; or a mortal solitude, where bats lodge in the disjointed stones and the keys rust in unused doors....

Notă biografică

Edith Wharton was born on January 24, 1862 in New York City. Due to a strained marriage she began to write fiction and published her first story in 1889. Her first published book was a guide to interior decorating, but this was followed by several novels and story collections. In 1913 the Whartons were divorced, and Edith took up permanent residence in France. Her novels The House of Mirth (1905) and Ethan Frome (1911) were bestsellers. Her great satiric novel, The Custom of the Country was published in 1913. Her novel The Age of Innocence won her the Pulitzer Prize in 1921. In her later years, she enjoyed the admiration of a new generation of writers, including Sinclair Lewis and F. Scott Fitzgerald. She wrote over 30 books, including an autobiography, A Backward Glance (1934). She died in Paris on August 11, 1937.
