Product info

<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>The classic satire of New York society and the American Dream through the misadventures of an insatiable young striver--with an introduction by Jia Tolentino, author of <i>Trick Mirror</i></b> <p/> Ambitious and wholeheartedly materialistic, Undine Spragg is a beautiful heiress who sees men as a means to an end. New York millionaires and French aristocrats fall at her feet, but each conquest is merely a stepping-stone in Undine's quest for power and position--and in her elusive search for happiness. <p/> A biting satire from one of America's greatest writers, <i>The Custom of the Country </i>features an antiheroine as compelling and driven as Scarlett O'Hara, a sharp-eyed critique of the marriage market and its objectification of women, and a knowing send-up of Gilded Age snobbery. <p/> <b>The Modern Library Torchbearers series features women who wrote on their own terms, with boldness, creativity, and a spirit of resistance: </b><br> <b> </b><br> AMERICAN INDIAN STORIES - THE AWAKENING - THE CUSTOM OF THE COUNTRY - THE HEADS OF CERBERUS - LADY AUDLEY'S SECRET - LOVE, ANGER, MADNESS - PASSING - THE TRANSFORMATION OF PHILIP JETTAN - VILLETTE<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Edith Wharton's finest achievement."<br>--Elizabeth Hardwick<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Edith Wharton </b>(1862-1937) was born into the upper echelons of New York society. She began writing in 1887, but it was the 1905 publication of her second novel, <i>The House of Mirth, </i>that made her famous. Over the course of her career, Wharton became a bestselling author, worked as a reporter at the French front during World War I (receiving the Cross of the Legion of Honor as a result), and won the Pulitzer Prize.
