The Fruit of the Tree - Edith Whartonová Considered wildly controversial at the time of its release, \'The Fruit of the Tree\' is a departure from the norm for Edith Wharton. While her trademark eye for social detail and psychological insights are present and correct, this novel deals with more melancholic themes, such as divorce, addiction, euthanasia, poor working conditions, and extravagance.

A striking book from the pen that wrote \'The Age of Innocence,\' which became a film, starring Michelle Pfeiffer and Daniel Day-Lewis. z kategorie E-knihy | Cizojazyčná literatura | English literature | Classics od Saga Egmont naleznete ne e-shopu KnihyDobrovsky.cz!
