Opis: Roman Fever - Edith Wharton

Tales of betrayal, rivalry and loss from the great chronicler of New York's Gilded Age, in an irresistible Little Clothbound Classics edition designed by Coralie Bickford-SmithIn these elegant and devastating tales of deception, desire and social intrigue, Edith Wharton exposes the brittle veneer of civility that masks human ambition and longing. From the sunlit terraces of Rome to the drawing rooms of New York, Wharton’s characters navigate a world bound by class and convention, yet charged with emotional undercurrents they barely understand. In 'Roman Fever', two middle-aged women confront the unspoken rivalries that have shadowed their friendship for decades; in 'Mrs.

Manstey’s View', a lonely widow’s cherished glimpse of life beyond her window becomes the stage for a quiet tragedy; and in 'After Holbein', the elaborate pretences of two ageing New Yorkers reveal the haunting persistence of vanity and illusion.
