Blurb
Undine Spragg is the ultimate gilded-age anti-heroine: beautiful, insatiable, and entirely unburdened by a conscience. Arriving in New York with nothing but her ambitions, she treats Manhattan's high society not as a world to join, but as a kingdom to conquer. Marriages are her currency as she trades her way from New York's ballroom floors to the historic châteaux of France, leaving a trail of ruined fortunes in her wake. In this highly acclaimed masterpiece-now adapted for the screen by Josie Rourke (Mary Queen of Scots)-Edith Wharton dissects the relentless pursuit of status. It is a modern portrait that forces us to confront an uncomfortable truth: a monstrous character hits far too close to home when her desires reflect our own.
'The Custom of the Country ist das früheste Porträt eines durch und durch modernen Amerikas und die erste fiktionale Darstellung einer Kultur, aus der die Kardashains, Twitter und Fox News natürlich hervorgehen.' Jonathan Franzen
