{"product_id":"the-age-of-innocence-9780553214505","title":"The Age of Innocence","description":"Edith Wharton's masterpiece brings to life the grandeur and hypocrisy of a gilded age. Set among the very rich in 1870s New York, it tells the story of Newland Archer, a young lawyer engaged to marry virginal socialite May Welland, when he meets her cousin, Countess Ellen Olenska, a woman unbound by convention and surrounded by scandal. As all three are drawn into a love triangle filled with sensuality, subtlety, and betrayal, Archer faces a harrowing choice between happiness and the social code that has ruled his life. The resulting tale of thwarted love is filled with irony and surprise, struggle and acceptance. Recipient of the first Pulitzer Prize for fiction ever awarded to a woman, this great novel paints a timeless portrait of \"society\" still unmatched in American literature--an arbitrary, capricious social elite that professes inviolable standards but readily abandons them for greed and desire.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bantam Classics\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/1996\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780553214505\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.36lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.00h x 4.24w x 0.73d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader Quiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e10826 \/ Age of Innocence\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.8 \/ \u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Upper Grade \/ \u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 19\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Edith Wharton","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43103763431605,"sku":"9780553214505","price":5.06,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_859742e3-756c-4c9b-bae9-a9560e8ee789.jpg?v=1693279527","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-age-of-innocence-9780553214505","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
