Sinossi

In "The Sins of the Children," Cosmo Hamilton delves into the murky waters of societal morality and familial bonds, portraying a generational conflict marked by betrayal and resilience. Set against the backdrop of early 20th-century England, Hamilton's narrative is rich with intricate characterizations and vivid descriptions, as he explores the psychological underpinnings of guilt and redemption. The novel engages with themes of inheritance—both material and ethical—examining how the sins of one generation reverberate through the lives of subsequent ones, creating a tapestry of interconnected fates. Hamilton's prose exhibits a keen facility for dialogue, capturing the subtleties of human emotion and the complexities of familial relationships in a style reminiscent of contemporary realist writers. Cosmo Hamilton, a notable figure in early 20th-century literature, was deeply influenced by the societal changes and moral questions of his time. His experiences as a playwright and novelist reflected a fascination with character-driven stories that probe the heart of human nature. Living through a period of significant social upheaval, Hamilton sought to engage readers with narratives that questioned established norms and the consequences of individual actions, particularly within families. This compelling blend of moral inquiry and character exploration makes "The Sins of the Children" a must-read for those interested in the intricate dynamics of personal responsibility and familial legacies. Hamilton's work invites readers to reflect on their own ethical dilemmas, making it a timeless exploration of human nature.

    “Summer” is one of only two novels Edith Wharton wrote that takes place in a rural setting (the other being her classic “Ethan Frome.”)  Given the subject matter, the book was considered scandalous in its day, but it is now considered a classic of early 19th century American literature.   
    The story follows the life and sexual awakening of Charity Royall, a young girl living in a small town who has dreams of moving out of her poverty-stricken community.  Courted by both the local rich businessman - her former guardian - and the dashing town ne’er-do-well, Charity starts up a love affair with the younger man.  But when her budding romance starts to take a turn…Charity is forced to grow up fast. 
    Edith Wharton - the first woman to win the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction - is one of the 20th centuries most beloved authors and we are proud to present “Summer” in its original and unabridged format.
