País del Placer

by Edith Wharton

La novela sigue la historia de Lily Bart, una joven atractiva y ambiciosa que pertenece a la alta sociedad de Nueva York. Lily está atrapada en un mundo donde el estatus social y la riqueza son lo único que importa. Está desesperada por encontrar un marido rico que le asegure una vida cómoda, pero sus intentos se ven frustrados por su propia arrogancia y falta de pragmatismo. Lily se ve atrapada en un círculo vicioso de deudas y compromisos sociales, y finalmente su destino se vuelve trágico. Wharton explora temas de amor, matrimonio, clase social y el precio del éxito en una sociedad donde la apariencia lo es todo.
