Edith Wharton : Ethan Frome (Illustrated) before purchasing it in order to gage whether or not it would be worth my time, and all praised Ethan Frome (Illustrated):

Active TOC leads to BOOK titles, but NOT to s.s. titlesBy Librarian[This pertains to the HH edition.] The TOC easily permits you to go directly to those titles which the editors have chosen to include in their TOC. While several of these happen to pertain to specific short stories, the majority of titles in the TOC are of BOOKS. However, there is no direct access to the SHORT STORIES contained within seven of those books which are compilations of such stories -- not even a listing of them so the reader can know what to search for. And there are LOTS of great stories "hidden" within them.There are 7 stories in "Crucial Instances," 9 in "Descent of Man," 5 in part-1 of her "Early Short Fiction," 6 in part-2 of her "Early Short Fiction," 8 in "The Greater Inclination," 7 in "The Hermit and the Wild Woman," and 10 in "Tales of Men and Ghosts," for a total of 52 short stories (keeping in mind a number of these stories are duplicated and listed as separate entities within the TOC, so the grand total is a bit lower). Some poems are also thrown into the mix, but these appear formatted as prose rather than arranged in stanzas and are uncomfortable to read. These are the reasons an otherwise five star collection gets only four. Nevertheless, at such a low price for so much great content, it's hard to complain too much. Be aware, however, some of her newer works (not yet in the public domain) are missing from it.UPDATE 06-29-16: Finally, truly complete and well-organized editions have arrived. THE COMPLETE EDITH WHARTON COLLECTION from Falcon Classics contains virtually everything she ever wrote, and active TOCs provide direct access to all content. There are other editions, too, from other ebook bundlers, priced as low as $.99. I would now recommend you go with one of them.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Stellar Opportunity to Read a Truly Great WriterBy CustomerI did my doctoral dissertation on the novels of Edith Wharton so I jumped at the chance to buy this set of her complete works. If you have not yet read Wharton's writing, you are in for a great treat. A number of her novels are masterpieces, such as , Ethan Frome, (made into a moving film by Martin Scorsese starring Daniel Day Lewis, Michelle Pfeiffer, and Winona Rider), and (a lesser-known work). Her short stories are also powerful and moving; one of them was made into a fine film starring Bette Davis.Wharton is a master of accurate characterization, presentation of the most telling details, and rich plot. But the greatest treat about reading the works of Edith Wharton is her writing itself - elegant, impeccable. emotionally resonant, and possessing a perfection of tone applied to each different situation.10 of 10 people found the following review helpful. If you love Jane Austen...By Florida Paddler...you will love Edith Wharton too! She was 100 years later than Austen American rather than British, but like Austen wrote of upper class life manners (in New York City rather than England) with beautifully drawn characters, both male female. All her books (like Austen's) are page-turners.I downloaded the Works of Edith Wharton to my Iphone which permits me to read in every spare second. I'm currently reading Wharton's ghost stories, most of which are actually about the human spirit (was Wharton using the term "ghost" ironically?) and a few of which are actually about ghosts.

• The book includes 10 unique illustrations that are relevant to its content.Ethan Frome is a novel published in 1911 by the Pulitzer Prize-winning American author Edith Wharton. It is set in the fictitious town of Starkfield, Massachusetts. The novel was adapted into a film Ethan Frome in 1993. Ethan’s character is one that becomes a full circle, moving from silent desire to action to quiet submission, ordered by life’s circumstances. The novel is all the more remarkable for its forbidden impressions of the rural working class in New England, especially given that its author was a woman of leisure. The name of the small Massachusetts town represents a bleak, cold and dismal environment.

Wharton's prose, with its menacing images of death and darkness, is superb. First published in 1911, it remains a hauntingly stark masterpiece * IRISH TIMES * Edith Wharton is unique in the intimacy and sureness, not to mention the virile and satiric tone, with which she investigates this narrow and declining society * TLS * "With each volume having an introduction by an acknowledged expert, and exhaustive notes, the World's Classics are surely the most desirable series and, all-round, the best value for the money."--Oxford TimesFrom the PublisherWebster’s paperbacks take advantage of the fact that classics are frequently assigned readings in English courses. By using a running English- to-Spanish thesaurus at the bottom of each page, this edition of Ethan Frome by Edith Wharton was edited for three audiences. The first includes Spanish-speaking students enrolled in an English Language Program (ELP), an English as a Foreign Language (EFL) program, an English as a Second Language Program (ESL), or in a TOEFL® or TOEIC® preparation program. The second audience includes English-speaking students enrolled in bilingual education programs or Spanish speakers enrolled in English speaking schools. The third audience consists of students who are actively building their vocabularies in Spanish in order to take foreign service, translation certification, Advanced Placement® (AP®) or similar examinations. By using the Webster's Spanish Thesaurus Edition when assigned for an English course, the reader can enrich their vocabulary in anticipation of an examination in Spanish or English.
