Las hermanas Bunner

Por Edith Wharton

Pocas historias pueden conmover con tanta presteza como “Las hermanas Bunner”. Cada página de este breve libro nos deja ver, con total claridad, la gran maestría de esta genial escritora en captar al lector sin posible marcha atrás. Y esta novela, que narra con milimétrica precisión las miserias de una escueta unidad familiar compuesta por dos hermanas, rompe con la tónica de obras posteriores, más basadas en una calibración amplia y social de altas esferas y crítica de costumbres decadentes.

Edith Wharton

Edith Wharton (1862–1937) was the first woman to win the Pulitzer Prize for fiction. Having grown up in an upper-class, tightly controlled society known as “Old New York” at a time when women were discouraged from achieving anything beyond a proper marriage, Wharton broke through these strictures to become one of that society’s fiercest critics as well as one of America’s greatest writers. The author of more than 40 books in 40 years, Wharton’s oeuvre includes classic works of American literature such as The House of Mirth, The Custom of the Country, The Age of Innocence, and Ethan Frome, as well as authoritative works on architecture, gardens, interior design, and travel.
