Edith Wharton’s acclaimed novel of love, duty, and half-known truths in Gilded Age New York society, with a foreword by bestselling author Elif Batuman.
A Penguin Vitae Edition
Dutiful Newland Archer, an eligible young man from New York high society, is about to announce his engagement to May Welland, a suitable match from a good family, when May’s cousin, the beautiful and exotic Countess Ellen Olenska, is introduced into their circle. The Countess brings with her an aura of European sophistication and a hint of perceived scandal, having left her husband and claimed her independence. Her worldliness, disregard for society’s rules, and air of unapproachability attract the sensitive Newland, despite his enthusiasm about a marriage to May and the societal advantages it would bring. Almost against their will, Newland and Ellen develop a passionate bond, and a classic love triangle takes shape as the three young people find themselves drawn into a poignant and bitter conflict between love and duty. Written in 1920, Edith Wharton’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel about a time and place long gone by—1870s New York City—beautifully captures the complexities of passion, independence, and fulfillment, and how painfully hard it can be for individuals to truly see one another and their place in the world.
Penguin Classics presents Penguin Vitae, loosely translated as “Penguin of one’s life,” a deluxe hardcover series featuring a dynamic landscape of classic fiction and nonfiction that has shaped the course of our readers' lives. Penguin Vitae invites readers to find themselves in a diverse world of storytellers, with beautifully designed classic editions of personal inspiration, intellectual engagement, and creative originality.

Eine ungewöhnliche aber interessante Geschichte. Mir kam es so vor, als weiß Newland Archer zwar, was er will, aber es fehlt ihm der Mut, seine Ziele zu verfolgen. Die Gesellschaft ist so starr in ihren Traditionen, dass Neuerungen völlig undenkbar sind. Einfach nur, weil es schon immer so war. Und dann die neue Generation, die das totale Gegenteil davon ist. Wahrscheinlich ist es schwierig, offen für Neues zu sein, wenn man nie etwas anderes gekannt hat. Das Buch hat sich gut lesen lassen, hat aber sogar für einen Klassiker wenig Handlung.
