As she unfolds the story of Undine Spragg, from New York to Europe, Wharton affords us a detailed glimpse of what might be called the interior décor of this America and its nouveau riche fringes. Through a heroine who is as vain, spoiled, and selfish as she is irresistibly fascinating, and through a most intricate and satisfying plot that follows Undine’s marriages and affairs, she conveys a vision of social behavior that is both supremely informed and supremely disenchanted.","brand":"Buchserien.de","offers":[{"title":"Neuware","offer_id":53793945485650,"sku":"9780143137207","price":27.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0615\/7002\/3593\/files\/unnamed_cfaeb045-74a8-4adb-b4c6-0c4b149a2cfa.jpg?v=1781849926","url":"https:\/\/www.buchserien.de\/products\/the-custom-of-the-country","provider":"Buchserien.de","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
