Synopsis "LA PIEDRA DE TOQUE (in Spanish)"

En esta novela se plantean interesantes dilemas sobre la privacidad, la publicidad y los derechos de autor; sobre la inevitable interferencia de los acontecimientos del pasado en el presente.
Publicada en 1900, La piedra de toque es la primera novella de la escritora Edith Wharton. En ella, Stephen Glennard se plantea la posibilidad de vender la correspondencia que mantuvo con un antiguo amor, Margaret Aubyn, que se ha convertido en una escritora de éxito. La necesidad económica que le acucia puede solucionarse con una sencilla operación comercial, si no fuera porque su nuevo amor, para el que necesita precisamente ese dinero, entrará en conflicto con esta vuelta al pasado que Glennard esconde.

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.
