Description:
<DIV><B>The Pulitzer Prize&ndash;winning novel of desire and duty in Gilded Age New York</B><BR /><BR />A respected lawyer and scion of one of Manhattan&rsquo;s most important families, Newland Archer knows what people expect of him and is eager to comply. The first step on the path to happiness is to wed May Welland, a beautiful young woman of fine social standing. But the arrival of the worldly and exotic Countess Olenska, May&rsquo;s cousin, changes everything. Ellen Olenska&rsquo;s scandalous intention to divorce her husband, a Polish nobleman, is so far outside the realm of Newland&rsquo;s experience that he cannot help but be fascinated by her, and by the independence she represents. As he draws closer to the irresistible countess, he risks breaking May&rsquo;s heart and destroying his life of privilege forever.<BR /><BR />Winner of the 1921 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction&mdash;marking the very first time a woman was so honored&mdash;and the basis for several film and stage adaptations, including the 1993 Academy Award&ndash;winning motion picture directed by Martin Scorsese,&#160;<I>The Age of Innocence&#160;</I>is one of the best-loved American novels of the twentieth century.&#160;<BR /><BR />This ebook has been professionally proofread to ensure accuracy and readability on all devices.<BR /></DIV>
