EDITH WHARTON 
The Custom Of The Country [EPUB ebook] 

支持

"The Custom of the Country" by Edith Wharton is a scathing social critique and a compelling exploration of the Gilded Age's high society in early twentieth-century America. The novel revolves round Undine Spragg, a charming and formidable female from the Midwest who ascends the social ladder through a chain of marriages. Undine's relentless pursuit of wealth and status takes her thru the glamorous world of New York and European aristocracy. Edith Wharton's incisive narrative dissects the ethical and moral dimensions of society, exposing the vacancy of a subculture driven by way of materialism and social mountaineering. Undine, a complex and frequently unsympathetic individual, turns into a image of the unfavourable consequences of unchecked ambition. The novel's brilliance lies in Wharton's ability to satirize the customs and values of the time while offering a nuanced portrayal of her characters. "The Custom of the Country" remains a timeless exploration of societal aspirations and the rate one will pay for chasing the elusive dream of upward mobility in a global ruled by using social conventions.
