The House of Mirth: With 18 Illustrations and a Free Online Audio File
The House of Mirth is a novel about New York socialite Lily Bart attempting to secure a husband and a place in rich society. It is one of the first novels of manners in American literature, and one of the first to openly explore how American Victorian society offered little social mobility for women.
It follows Lily's slow two-year social descent from privilege to a tragically lonely existence on the margins of society. Wharton uses Lily as an attack on "an irresponsible, grasping and morally corrupt upper class."
Highlights of this edition are:
• 18 illustrations and photos.
• A free web link to the full-length audio recording of the book – to either listen to online, or download.
• It is formatted for ease of use and enjoyment on your nook reader.
• An active (easy to use) Table of Contents listing every chapter accessible from the nook "go to" feature.
• Perfect formatting in rich text compatible with nook's Text-to-Speech features.
• Plus, about the Author section.
• 612 pages (in the nook format) for a very low price.
This book is unabridged and appears as it was first intended. First published in 1905.
