    Edith Newbold Jones was born in New York on January 24, 1862.   Born into wealth, this background of privilege gave her a wealth of experience to eventually, after several false starts, produce many works based on it culminating in her Pulitzer Prize winning novel ‘The Age Of Innocence’ 
    Marriage to Edward Robbins Wharton, who was 12 years older in 1885 seemed to offer much and for some years they travelled extensively.  After some years it was apparent that her husband suffered from acute depression and so the travelling ceased and they retired to The Mount, their estate designed by Edith.  By 1908 his condition was said to be incurable and prior to divorcing Edward in 1913 she began an affair, in 1908, with Morton Fullerton, a Times journalist, who was her intellectual equal and allowed her writing talents to push forward and write the novels for which she is so well known.  
    Acknowledged as one of the great American writers with novels such as Ethan Frome and the House of Mirth among many.  Wharton also wrote many short stories, including ghost stories and poems which we are pleased to publish.  
    Edith Wharton died of a stroke in 1937 at the Domaine Le Pavillon Colombe, her 18th-century house on Rue de Montmorency in Saint-Brice-sous-Forêt.

    "It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife."
    
    Elizabeth Bennet is spirited, intelligent, and fiercely independent—qualities that often clash with the rigid social expectations of her time. When the wealthy and brooding Mr. Darcy arrives in her quiet neighborhood of Meryton, Elizabeth is quick to judge him as arrogant and cold. Darcy, in turn, finds Elizabeth "tolerable, but not handsome enough to tempt me." What follows is a masterful dance of misunderstandings, sharp-tongued wit, and the slow realization that first impressions are rarely correct. As the Bennet family navigates the perils of marriage markets and social scandals, Elizabeth and Darcy must each overcome their own flaws—her prejudice and his pride—to find a love that transcends status.
    
    A Masterclass in Irony and Satire: Austen's sharpest weapon is her humor. From the absurdly sycophantic Mr. Collins to the perpetually nervous Mrs. Bennet, the novel populates its world with characters who provide a hilarious yet biting critique of a society obsessed with "connections" and inheritance laws.
    
    The Evolution of the Heart: The heart of the story lies in the intellectual match between Elizabeth and Darcy. Unlike the passive heroines of many contemporary novels, Elizabeth challenges Darcy's worldview, forcing him to earn her respect. Their journey from mutual dislike to profound devotion is set against the beautiful backdrops of the English countryside, from the modest comfort of Longbourn to the breathtaking grandeur of Pemberley.
