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.

Why buy our paperbacks? Standard Font size of 10 for all books High Quality Paper Fulfilled by Amazon Expedited shipping 30 Days Money Back Guarantee BEWARE of Low-quality sellers Don't buy cheap paperbacks just to save a few dollars. Most of them use low-quality papers binding. Their pages fall off easily. Some of them even use very small font size of 6 or less to increase their profit margin. It makes their books completely unreadable. How is this book unique? Unabridged (100% Original content) Font adjustments biography included Illustrated About Ethan Frome by Edith Wharton 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 Frome is set in the fictional New England town of Starkfield, where a visiting engineer tells the story of his encounter with Ethan Frome, a man with a history of thwarted dreams and desires. The accumulated longing of Frome ends in an ironic turn of events. His initial impressions are based on his observations of Frome going about his mundane tasks in Starkfield, and something about him catches the eye and curiosity of the visitor, but no one in the town seems interested in revealing many details about the man or his history - or perhaps they are not able to. The narrator ultimately finds himself in the position of staying overnight at Frome's house in order to escape a winter storm, and from there he observes Frome and his private circumstances, which he shares and which triggers other people in town to be more forthcoming with their own knowledge and impressions. The novel is framed by the literary device of an extended flashback. The prologue, which is neither named as such nor numbered, opens with an unnamed male narrator spending a winter in Starkfield while in the area on business. He spots a limping, quiet man around the village, who is somehow compelling in his demeanor and carriage. This is Ethan Frome, who is a local fixture of the community, having been a lifelong resident. Frome is described as "the most striking figure in Starkfield", "the ruin of a man" with a "careless powerful lookhellip;in spite of a lameness checking each step like the jerk of a chain". Curious, the narrator sets out to learn about him. He learns that Frome's limp arose from having been injured in a "smash-up" twenty-four years before, but further details are not forthcoming, and the narrator fails to learn much more from Frome's fellow townspeople other than that Ethan's attempt at higher education decades before was thwarted by the sudden illness of his father following an injury, forcing his return to the farm to assist his parents, never to leave again. Because people seem to not wish to speak other than in vague and general terms about Frome's past, the narrator's curiosity grows, but he learns little more.

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 *From the PublisherWebsterrsquo;s paperbacks take advantage of the fact that classics are frequently assigned readings in English courses.
