Synopsis "La Edad de la Inocencia / The Age of Innocence (in Spanish)"

Martin Scorsese extrajo de La edad de la inocencia una bellísima película, protagonizada por Michelle Pfeiffer, DanielDay-Lewis y Winona Ryder. Al amable mundo de convenciones sociales estrictas en el que se mueve, aparentemente sin roces ni contrariedades, la alta sociedad de Nueva York de finales del siglo XIX, regresa de Europa la inquietante condesa Olenska. Independiente, osada, diferente , ella involucrará muy pronto en su misterio a su joven primo, Newland Archer, y perturbará el encanto de una vida social que ignora de manera voluntaria su inminente fin. En el fondo de esta extraordinaria historia de una gran pasión subyace el conflicto entre dos mundos: el de las viejas familias patricias norteamericanas y el de los nuevos ricos, quienes, al terminar la novela, se han apoderado ya de las costumbres y de los espíritus. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Edith Wharton's masterwork captures the opulence and deceit of a bygone era. It follows Newland Archer, a young lawyer engaged to marry virginal socialite May Welland in 1870s New York, when he meets her cousin, Countess Ellen Olenska, a lady unrestrained by convention and surrounded by scandal. Archer must choose between happiness and the social code that has governed his life as all three are dragged into a love triangle packed with sensuality, cunning, and betrayal. Irony and surprise, struggle and acceptance abound in the resulting story of failed love. This classic novel, which won the first Pulitzer Prize for fiction ever given to a woman, paints a timeless depiction of "society."

Edith Wharton was born in New York in 1862. Her maiden name was Edith Newbold Jones. Her family was upper class, comparable to European aristocracy, and consequently she received a meticulous private education. In 1907, she settled in France, where she became a disciple and friend of Henry James. Her most famous work is The Age of Innocence, published in 1920 and winner of the Pulitzer Prize in 1921. She is considered the most brilliant American novelist of her generation, admired by intellectuals of the stature of Henry James, Francis Scott Fitzgerald, Jean Cocteau, and Ernest Hemingway.
