Title
Ethan Frome & Summer (Modern Library Classics),Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
A pair of masterly short novels, featuring an introduction by Elizabeth Strout, the Pulitzer Prizewinning author of Anything Is Possible and My Name Is Lucy BartonThought Edith Wharton is best known for her cutting contemplation of fashionable New York, Ethan Frome and Summer are set in small New England towns, far from Manhattans beau monde. Together in one volume, these thematically linked short novels display Whartons characteristic criticism of societys hypocrisy, and her daring exploration of the destructive consequences of sexual appetite. From the wintry setting of Ethan Frome, where a man hounded by community standards is destroyed by the very thing that might bring him happiness, to the florid town of Summer, where a young womans first romance projects her into a dizzying rite of passage, Wharton captures beautifully the urges and failures of human nature.Praise for Edith Wharton and Ethan FromeEthan Frome [is considered] Mrs. Whartons masterpiece . . . The secret of its greatness is the stark human drama of it; the social crudity and human delicacy intermingled; the defiant, overriding passion, and the longdrawnout logic of the paid penalty. It has no contexts, no mitigations; it is plain, raw, firsthand human stuff.The New York TimesEthan Frome [has] become part of the American mythology. . . . Whartons astonishing authority here is to render such pain with purity and economy . . . Truly it is a northern romance, akin even to Wuthering Heights.Harold BloomTraditionally, Henry James has always been placed slightly higher up the slope of Parnassus than Edith Wharton. But now that the prejudice against the female writer is on the wane, they look to be exactly what they are: giants, equals, the tutelary and benign gods of our American literature.Gore Vidal
