Edith Wharton is the author of more than twenty novels and ten collections of short stories. She is the first woman writer to be awarded the Pulitzer Prize and a three-time nominee for the Nobel Prize in Literature. Her works, which have been repeatedly filmed, have long been included in the golden fund of American literature. The three novels included in this volume can be called the most striking and brilliant works of Edith Wharton. The novel The Age of Innocence, which brought the author the Pulitzer Prize, tells a fascinating story woven from intrigue, suspicion, guilt and passion. Its main character, a lawyer leading an ordinary life who dreams of real passion, learns from his own experience how dangerous dreams can be when they come true. The novel In the House of Mirth tells the story of the young beauty Lily Bart, who dreams of a profitable marriage. However, despite the abundance of admirers, Lily misses out on lucrative chances time after time, consumed either by the demon of self-destruction or by the expectation of great love. The heroes of the novel "In the Glimmering Moon" Susie Branch and Nick Lansing are smart, beautiful, with a lot of rich and influential friends - but penniless. After the wedding, they go on a trip to Europe, where many unexpected adventures, temptations and discoveries await the loving couple.
