Author Edith Wharton was born to an extremely wealthy family and was raised among the elites of New York society. This gave Wharton a front-row seat to the goings-on, intrigues and drama of that strange and fascinating world, which she exposed and satirized in her two best known novels: "The House of Mirth" and "The Age of Innocence" (the latter of which won her the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction, the first for a female writer).  

In both novels, Wharton both humanizes and lampoons her fellow socialites and offers a rare glimpse into a very private and often shockingly cruel culture of money, power and prestige. These books were both enormously successful when they first appeared and they have gone on to be considered classics of early 20th century American literature.  

We are proud to present both of these books in one volume, each in their original and unabridged format.
