Product Description

Here in one volume is a treasure trove of Edith Wharton's short fiction. The Descent of Man, and Other Stories features sophisticated tales that appeared in Scribner's, Cosmopolitan, Collier's, and other fashionable publications. Also in this volume is the novella Madame De Treymes, the story of an American woman in the unpleasant thrall of a French aristocrat. A scintillating collection of entertaining and insightful reading from the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Age of Innocence. Newly designed and typeset for easy reading by Boomer Books.
