Sobre este artículo

New York, NY: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1956. Book. New. Cloth. Reprint. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. New York, NY, Charles Scribner's Sons, 1956. Reprint. 8vo. Black cloth with green and gilt title on spine, author's name in gilt on front board, gold-colored endpapers, 282 pp. One of Mrs. Wharton's later novels, this is a story of expatriate Americans in the 1920's. Its theme is the predicament of the children who rich, pleasure-mad parents progress through marriages and divorces as casually as they flit around fashionable European resorts. Dust jacket somewhat tanned at top and bottom, spine only very slightly dog-eared, top and bottom. Text block is clean, bright and tight, dust jacket clean, colors strong. New in a new dust jacket, protected by a mylar cover..

Sinopsis

A bestseller when it was first published in 1928, Edith Wharton's The Children is a comic, bittersweet novel about the misadventures of a bachelor and a band of precocious children. The seven Wheater children, stepbrothers and stepsisters grown weary of being shuttled from parent to parent "like bundles," are eager for their parents' latest reconciliation to last. A chance meeting between the children and the solitary forty-six-year-old Martin Boyne leads to a series of unforgettable encounters. Among the colorful cast of characters are the Wheater adults, who play out their own comedy of marital errors; the flamboyant Marchioness of Wrench; and the vivacious fifteen-year-old Judith Wheater, who captures Martin's heart. With deft humor and touching drama, Wharton portrays a world of intrigues and infidelities, skewering the manners and mores of Americans abroad.
