Sinopsis

In a world ruled by tradition, the heart dares to dream of freedom.
Set in the glittering yet rigid world of 1870s New York high society, The Age of Innocence follows Newland Archer, a successful young lawyer engaged to the beautiful and proper May Welland. His carefully ordered life is turned upside down when he meets Countess Ellen Olenska, May's unconventional cousin, whose charm and independence challenge the rules of their social world.

Through elegant prose and razor-sharp observation, Edith Wharton explores themes of love versus duty, personal freedom versus societal expectation, and the quiet sacrifices demanded by tradition.

Winner of the 1921 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction, The Age of Innocence remains one of the most enduring novels of manners, offering a poignant critique of a society where appearances matter more than truth.

"A brilliant study of love, loss, and the silent compromises of life."
– The New York Times

"Wharton's masterpiece… as subtle as it is devastating."
– The Guardian

A seminal work in American history and literature, this book challenges the notion of a "post-racial" world, urging readers to confront the deep-rooted injustices that continue to shape the lives of Black Americans.

    An illuminating exploration of the surprisingly familiar sex lives of ordinary medieval people. 
     
     
      
    The medieval humoral system of medicine suggested that it was possible to die from having too much—or too little—sex, while the Roman Catholic Church taught that virginity was the ideal state. Holy men and women committed themselves to lifelong abstinence in the name of religion. Everyone was forced to conform to restrictive rules about who they could have sex with, in what way, how often, and even when, and could be harshly punished for getting it wrong. Other experiences are more familiar. Like us, medieval people faced challenges in finding a suitable partner or trying to get pregnant (or trying not to). They also struggled with many of the same social issues, such as whether prostitution should be legalized. Above all, they shared our fondness for dirty jokes and erotic images. By exploring their sex lives, the book brings ordinary medieval people to life, revealing details of their most personal thoughts and experiences. Ultimately, it provides us with an important and intimate connection to the past. 
     
     
     
    Contains mature themes.

    This book contains these three titles: 
      - Capitalism and Inequality: Capitalism, as an economic system, is based on private ownership of the means of production and the creation of goods or services for profit. In capitalist societies, market forces—supply and demand—determine the distribution of resources and wealth. This system is characterized by competition, limited government intervention, and the pursuit of profit. Over time, capitalism has evolved in response to global events, technological advancements, and changes in social and political structures. However, a fundamental aspect of capitalism that persists is the inherent inequality it creates. 
      - Economic Impacts of Imperialism: Imperialism, as a driving force in global history, established the foundation for much of the modern world's economic and political systems. The roots of imperialism stretch back to ancient civilizations, where conquest and control of territories provided the resources and labor necessary for expansion and prosperity. Over time, the concept evolved, shaped by cultural ambitions, geopolitical competition, and economic incentives. By the late 15th century, the age of exploration began a new phase of empire building, marked by the European powers seeking wealth and influence beyond their borders. 
      - Global Capitalism: The roots of global capitalism can be traced to the rise of industrial capitalism in the 18th and 19th centuries, which laid the foundation for an interconnected global economy. With the expansion of imperialism, the development of transportation technologies like steamships and railways, and the establishment of international financial institutions, economic activity increasingly transcended national boundaries.
