The House of Mirth Edith Wharton A black comedy of manners about vast wealth and a woman who can define herself only through the perceptions of others. The beautiful Lily Bart lives among the nouveaux riches of New York City - people whose millions were made in railroads, shipping, land speculation and banking. In this morally and aesthetically bankrupt world, Lily, age twenty-nine, seeks a husband who can satisfy her cravings for endless admiration and all the trappings of wealth. But her quest comes to a scandalous end when she is accused of being the mistress of a wealthy man. Exiled from her familiar world of artificial conventions, Lily finds life impossible. world classic novels xu cheng literature:Buddhist Writings By: VariousPlanet of the Damned By: Harry Harrison (b. 1925)Sons and Lovers By: D.

"The Hermit and the Wild Woman" (rather different than Wharton's usual fare) is about a religious hermit who retires from the world after childhood trauma, and his relationship with a former nun whose "sinful" desire to bathe has driven her out of her cloister. The remaining six stories are set in high society, and explore the foibles and manipulations of the wealthy and influential (including artists and political figures).
