À propos de cet audio

 Dive into the captivating world of Edith Wharton, the renowned American author of The House of Mirth, with this collection of seven intriguing short stories. The titular tale, The Hermit and the Wild Woman, offers a departure from Whartons typical themes, exploring the life of a reclusive hermit who, haunted by childhood trauma, seeks solitude. His life takes an unexpected turn when he encounters a former nun, driven from her cloister by her sinful longing for the simple pleasure of bathing. The remaining six stories transport you into the opulent yet complex realm of high society, where Wharton deftly examines the quirks, ambitions, and deceptions of the wealthy and influential, including artists and politicians.
