For the first time in Russian! «Old New York» (Old New York, 1924) by Edith Wharton — a cycle of four novella-prequels to the author's other novel «The Age of Innocence», revealing the customs of the New York elite from 1840...
to 1870. Wharton masterfully dissects the social conventions of high society, where traditions and status dictate every move. The reader will encounter familiar characters from «The Age of Innocence»: the influential Mrs. Manson Mingott, the gossip Sillerton Jackson, and the aristocrat Henry van der Luyden. The main characters of these novellas act out of love, but society rejects them for deviating from their accepted behavioral paradigm.
