A young couple`s love is threatened by the destructive power of money Nick Lansing & Susy Branch are young, attractive, but impoverished New Yorkers. They are in love & decide to marry, but realise their chances of happiness are slim without the wealth & society that their more privileged friends take for granted. Nick & Susy agree to separate when either encounters a more eligible proposition. However, as they honeymoon in friends` lavish houses, from a villa on Lake Como to a Venetian palace, jealous passions & troubled consciences cause the idyll to crumble. Edith Wharton has perceptively described the choices faced by Nick & Susy; the same dilemma still facing those seduced by the pleasures of society. ` Wharton`s unjustly neglected novel...a luscious, worldly, sensuous read, surely the equal of its most obvious offspring
- Tender is the Night.` BOYD TONKIN, Independent Edith Wharton was born in 1862 in New York, into a rich & socially prominent family. She began to write at an early age, although it was a habit viewed by her family as unsuitable for a woman of her social class. In 1885 she married Edward ` Teddy` Wharton, a Boston banker. They lived a privileged life, but Wharton gradually grew dissatisfied with the roles of wife & society matron. The Whartons moved to Paris in 1907 & divorced in 1913. Edith continued to live in France, her beloved adoptive home, until her death in 1937.

This is a complete, two-volume set of one of the greatest books on 19th century Japanese history & culture. Though Lafcadio Hearn went on to write a dozen more books on Japan, this collection of first impressions remains his most popular. Among the reasons is that here, more than anywhere else, the author most vividly captured a place that so affected him that he stayed for the rest of his life. The modern reader can still, through these pages, experience that first charm of Japan, intangible & volatile as a perfume. Glimpses of Unfamiliar Japan combines two volumes of a work that first appeared in 1894. In the pages of this book are the customs, the superstitions, the charming scenery, the revelations of Japanese character, & all the other elements that Lafcadio Hearn found so bewitching. Here, for example, are essays on such subjects as the Japanese garden, the household shrine, the festivals, & the bewildering Japanese smile; all aspects of Japanese life that have endured in spite of the changes that have taken place during the modernization of Japan. The Japanese character & the Japanese tradition are still fundamentally the same as Hearn found them to be, & for this reason his writing is still extremely revealing to modern readers. This edition also contains a new foreword by noted writer & examiner of Japanese culture Donnie Richie that puts Lafcadio Hearn & his classic works into perspective for readers just discovering Hearn`s writing for the first time. ...
