Publicado en 1920 y ganador del Premio Pulitzer al año siguiente, 'A Idade da Inocência' es una novela ambientada en la clase alta de Nueva York en la década de 1870. Newland Archer, un abogado de una familia adinerada, está a punto de casarse con May cuando la condesa Olenska regresa de Europa y perturba la paz de la pareja. Esta obra maestra es un retrato perfecto de aquella época dorada de Nueva York y una incursión poderosa en los insondables rincones del deseo y la traición. Un hombre se enfrenta a una decisión que puede llevarlo por dos caminos: define su vida con valentía o la arruina sin piedad.

Edith Newbold Wharton was an American writer and designer. Wharton drew upon her insider's knowledge of upper-class New York society to portray, realistically, the lives and morals of the Gilded Age. In 1921, she became the first woman to win the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction for her novel The Age of Innocence. She was inducted into the National Women's Hall of Fame in 1996. Her other well-known works are The House of Mirth, the novella Ethan Frome, and several notable ghost stories.
