«El día del entierro» is the short story by Edith Wharton published by Rey Lear in 2013 in paperback (72 pages, in Spanish).
Professor Trenham, consumed by remorse over his infidelity, faces the sudden death of his wife, attributed by all to her extreme emotionality. Scarcely is she buried when he decides to leave his young mistress. Edith Wharton portrays a selfish man incapable of living alone; an unforeseen ending brings justice to that social milieu of conventions.
The story belongs to the Breviarios collection from Rey Lear (number 49), translated from English by Susana Carral. The first edition was published in 2013.
For readers aged 14 and up interested in romantic fiction and social portraits.
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.

Her other well-known works are The House of Mirth, the novella Ethan Frome, and several notable ghost stories.
