Synopsis "El Pelícano"

Tras quedarse viuda, Mrs. Amyot comienza a impartir conferencias para mantener a su bebé de seis meses. Un retrato de la sociedad de finales del XIX en el que la autora reflexiona sobre la crianza materna y la forma en que una coqueta conferenciante, independiente y adelantada a su tiempo, logra sacar a su hijo adelante. Eso sí, Mrs. Amyot es mucho más que una abnegada madre y los medios empleados para lograr su objetivo no son lo que parecen. Además, la edición Incluye una semblanza de la autora a cargo de Frederic Taber Cooper, inédita en España, y un texto sobre el pelícano del ornitólogo Wenceslao Zúñiga.

Edith Wharton was born in New York in 1862. Her maiden name was Edith Newbold Jones. Her family was upper class, comparable to European aristocracy, and consequently she received a meticulous private education. In 1907, she settled in France, where she became a disciple and friend of Henry James. Her most famous work is The Age of Innocence, published in 1920 and winner of the Pulitzer Prize in 1921. She is considered the most brilliant American novelist of her generation, admired by intellectuals of the stature of Henry James, Francis Scott Fitzgerald, Jean Cocteau, and Ernest Hemingway.
