Reseña del libro "In Morocco (en Inglés)"

Edith Wharton (born Edith Newbold Jones; January 24, 1862 - August 11, 1937) was an American novelist, short story writer, and designer. Wharton drew upon her insider's knowledge of the upper class New York "aristocracy" to realistically portray the lives and morals of the Gilded Age. In 1921, she became the first woman to win the Pulitzer Prize for Literature. She was inducted into the National Women's Hall of Fame in 1996. Despite not publishing her first novel until she was forty, Wharton became an extraordinarily productive writer. In addition to her 15 novels, seven novellas, and eighty-five short stories, she published poetry, books on design, travel, literary and cultural criticism, and a memoir.In 1873, Wharton wrote a short story and gave it to her mother to read. Her mother criticized the story, so Wharton decided to just write poetry. While she constantly sought her mother's approval and love, it was rare that she received either. From the start, the relationship with her mother was a troubled one. Before she was 15, she wrote Fast and Loose (1877). In her youth, she wrote about society. Her central themes came from her experiences with her parents. She was very critical of her work and wrote public reviews criticizing it. She also wrote about her own experiences with life. "Intense Love's Utterance" is a poem written about Henry Stevens.In 1901, Wharton wrote a two-act play called Man of Genius. This play was about an English man who was having an affair with his secretary. The play was rehearsed but was never produced. Another 1901 play, The Shadow of a Doubt, which also came close to being staged but fell through, was thought to be lost, until it was discovered in 2017. Its world premiere was a radio adaptation broadcast on BBC Radio 3 in 2018. She collaborated with Marie Tempest to write another play, but the two only completed four acts before Marie decided she was no longer interested in costume plays. One of her earliest literary endeavors (1902) was the translation of the play, Es Lebe das Leben ("The Joy of Living"), by Hermann Sudermann. The Joy of Living was criticized for its name because the heroine swallows poison at the end, and was a short-lived Broadway production. It was, however, a successful book.Many of Wharton's novels are characterized by subtle use of dramatic irony. Having grown up in upper-class, late-19th-century society, Wharton became one of its most astute critics, in such works as The House of Mirth and The Age of Innocence. (wikipedia.org)

Edith Wharton (Nueva York, 24 de enero de 1862 – Saint-Brice-sous-Forêt, 11 de agosto de 1937) fue una novelista, ensayista y diseñadora estadounidense reconocida internacionalmente por su estilo refinado y su mirada crítica hacia las normas sociales de su tiempo. Procedente de una de las familias más acomodadas de Nueva York y formada en un entorno cosmopolita que incluyó largas estancias en Europa, desarrolló desde joven un interés especial por la literatura, la arquitectura y el arte, lo que nutrió profundamente su obra.
A finales del siglo XIX debutó en el ámbito literario con relatos y con la publicación de The Decoration of Houses (1897), un influyente ensayo sobre diseño de interiores escrito junto a Ogden Codman Jr. Su reconocimiento como novelista llegó con títulos como La casa de la alegría (1905) y Ethan Frome (1911), en los que retrató con gran sensibilidad las ambiciones, restricciones y contradicciones de la alta sociedad estadounidense.
El éxito definitivo de su carrera se consolidó en 1920 con La edad de la inocencia, novela que le valió el Premio Pulitzer en 1921, convirtiéndose en la primera mujer en recibir este galardón. A lo largo de su vida publicó más de 40 libros, entre novelas, ensayos y relatos, caracterizados por su ironía, elegancia estilística y penetrante visión social.
Instalada en Francia tras su separación de Edward Wharton, combinó la creación literaria con un compromiso activo en obras humanitarias durante la Primera Guerra Mundial. Sus últimos años los dedicó a seguir escribiendo y a cultivar su pasión por los jardines y el diseño arquitectónico en residencias como “The Mount”.
Su obra, traducida a numerosos idiomas y aún vigente, ha sido estudiada por su aporte al realismo literario moderno y por su capacidad para iluminar las tensiones entre el deseo individual y las convenciones sociales, manteniéndola como una de las autoras más influyentes de la literatura universal.
