The Age of Innocence (Ebook + Audiobook‪)‬

«The Age of Innocence” is a legendary novel by Edith Wharton (1862-1937), who won the 1921 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction. The story is set in upper-class New York City in the 1870s, during the so-called Golden Age, and portrays manners and desires of society people “who dreaded scandal more than disease.”

Written between the two World Wars, “The Age of Innocence” is in part about a peculiarly modern phenomenon - the experience of outliving the age that formed us. The main protagonist Newland Archer prepares to marry the beautiful and proper fellow member of elite society May Welland. But he is attracted to Ellen Olenska, a former member of their circle who has been living in Europe but has left her husband under mysterious circumstances and returned to her family’s New York milieu. Torn between duty and passion, Archer struggles to make a decision that will either courageously define his life—or mercilessly destroy it.
