The Age of Innocence, written by Edith Wharton and illustrated by Ana Jarén. Published by Editorial Alma.

A member of New York high society, Edith Wharton was one of the leading intellectuals of her time. With The Age of Innocence, she won the Pulitzer Prize in 1921, the first time this prize was awarded to a woman. The novel relentlessly portrays the aristocratic hypocrisy of the 19th century, as well as the details of infidelity. Newland Archer is torn between May Welland, the perfect but predictable wife, and Countess Ellen Olenska, who symbolises risk and adventure. Wharton's handling of irony and character portraiture have made her the best chronicler of an oppressive but fascinating way of life that she knew at first hand.
