Story
‘Bunner Sisters’ explores the lives of the impoverished class in 1870s New York. Sisters Ann Eliza and Evelina run a small shop out of a shabby basement on a side street. Despite their misfortunes, they are happy in their small, supportive community of women. This bubble will soon be burst, however, as Ann Eliza and Evelina are faced with the harsh realities of the world that exists outside of their shop. A considerate exploration of American society, class, and sibling relationships, Edith Wharton’s novel is unmissable if you enjoyed Louisa May Alcott’s ‘Little Women’.

Story
The story begins with an unnamed male narrator who describes a man with a limp and a striking demeanor. The story of Ethan, his sickly wife Zeena, and the caregiver Mattie then unfolds: Mattie helped to care for the infirm Zeena, but when Zeena noticed a spark of affection between her husband and Mattie, she demanded that the caregiver be dismissed. When the aforementioned narrator resumes, it emerges that Mattie was severely injured 20 years earlier in the accident which caused Ethan’s limp as well as a startling role reversal among the two women.

Story
Ethan Frome è un classico della letteratura americana (anche Lisa Simpson legge Ethan Frome!) ed è considerato dalla critica più attenta l’opera migliore, il capolavoro di Edith Wharton (1862/1937), la prima donna a vincere, nel 1921, il premio Pulitzer con “L’età dell’innocenza”. Siamo in una sperduta e malmessa fattoria tra le nevi del New England. Il proprietario, Ethan Frome, è un uomo imponente dal carattere schivo e introverso e dal corpo irrimediabilmente rovinato.

Story
"Se il ricorso della data è più di una semplice coincidenza - e per quanto mi riguarda ne sono certo - se ne deve arguire che la strana donna comparsa per due volte lungo il viale nel giorno della vigilia dei Morti, o era un fantasma o, cosa più probabile e preoccupante insieme, una donna in carne ed ossa invasata da una maliarda". Edith Wharton fu scrittrice di trame di spettri che appaiono nel lucore lunare, su di un ponte inumidito dal freddo notturno.

Story
Questo romanzo, con cui l'autrice vinse il premio Pulitzer nel 1921 (ed era la prima volta che una donna vinceva quel premio), parla della New York del 1870, della famosa Gilded Age. Ma dietro l'oro apparente, si nasconde la rete di convinzioni, tradizioni e ipocrisia che imprigiona il protagonista così inevitabilmente da renderlo egli stesso, col tempo, acquiescente alla propria prigionia.

Story
Edith Wharton, scrittrice americana, incoraggiata da Henry James nella sua copiosa produzione letteraria, affronta specialmente il problema del rapporto tra il singolo ed il suo gruppo sociale di appartenenza, ed in particolare il problema della "rottura delle convenzioni sociali". Cresciuta in un ambiente altamente elitario e rigidamente conservatore, come quello della cosiddetta "aristocrazia del denaro" dell'altissima società di New York (detta anche "l'aristocrazia dei Quattrocento"), la Wharton cercò di rielaborare i temi legati alla forte chiusura sociale di tale ambiente in molte delle sue opere più importanti.
