«Madame de Treymes» is the novel by Edith Wharton, published by Penguin Books in paperback (96 pages, in English).
In Paris, John Durham waits for Fanny de Malrive. His desire to marry her clashes with the interests of a French aristocracy as united as it is relentless. Edith Wharton contrasts the simplicity and principles of old New York with the beauty and decadence of the Saint-Germain district.
Work originally published in 1907; this 1995 edition belongs to the Penguin 60s collection.
Aimed at readers of classic fiction and short stories, particularly those interested in the contrast between New York and Paris.
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.
