Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1907, Madame de Treymes is a short novella about the efforts of an American, John Durham, to win the hand of his former girlfriend Fanny Frisbee who has become Madame de Malrive by marriage. Durham seeks to use the eponymous character, a cousin of Fanny, to establish a divorce for Fanny whose marriage is a distinctly unhappy one. Unfortunately the aristocratic family works to establish a trap into which Fanny must walk. Wharton's principal theme is a comparison of American and European family values, with Durham as the individualist who refuses to conform to accepted norms and the aristocratic family as a unit that is constrained by deep historical prejudices towards marriage and the Church

Plot: Fanny de Malrive, an American living in Paris, is trapped in a loveless marriage. She wants nothing more than to divorce her estranged husband and marry her childhood friend John Durham. But even if her husband could overcome his conservative, religious family and culture to acquiesce, she fears losing custody of their son. In hopes of finding a solution, Durham meets with Fanny's sister-in-law, the enigmatic Madame de Treymes, who suggests that she might be willing to appeal to her brother on his behalf--if, that is, he will help settle her illicit lover's gambling debts.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In addition to Edith Wharton’s Madame de Treymes, this eBook set includes three novellas: The Touchstone, Sanctuary, and Bunner Sisters—short works that are as rich in social satire as they are cunningly insightful. Madame de Treymes, Edith Wharton's first publication after the highly successful The House of Mirth, is a captivating portrait of turn-of-the-century American and French culture. Inspired by Wharton's own entré into Parisian society in 1906 and reminiscent of the works of Henry James, it tells the story of two young innocents abroad: Fanny Frisbee of New York, unhappily married to the dissolute Marquis de Malrive, and John Durham, her childhood friend who arrives in Paris intent on convincing Fanny to divorce her husband and marry him instead. A subtle investigation of the clash of cultures and the role of women in the social hierarchy, Madame de Treymes confirms Edith Wharton's position, as Edmund Wilson wrote, as "an historian of the American society of her time." This edition of Madame de Treymes also includes three novellas: The Touchstone, Sanctuary, and Bunner Sisters. These short works are rich in the social satire and cunning insight that characterized Wharton's highly acclaimed novels The Age of Innocence and The House of Mirth.

Book excerpt: Essay aus dem Jahr 2014 im Fachbereich Anglistik - Literatur, Note: 1,3, Ruhr-Universität Bochum, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Edith Wharton’s novella" Madame de Treymes" (1907) is set in Paris and revolves around the three protagonists John Durham, Fanny de Malrive and her sister-in-law Madame de Treymes. On a visit to Paris the New Yorker John Durham meets his former college-friend Fanny again, who has married into the Parisian upper-class, but lives separated from her unfaithful aristocratic husband. John and Fanny want to marry, but divorce is impossible in Catholic France and especially in a titled family. Therefore John seeks Madame de Treymes’ help in getting the family to consent to a divorce and is confronted with the sinister strength of the French social order. Edith Wharton presents Paris as a corrupt place filed with intrigue and betrayal, a place hostile towards foreigners. Paris is represented through the representation of its aristocracy society, which is shown as a tight, arrogant, intriguer, narrow community feeling superior towards outsiders. Moreover the representation of the French society demonstrates the contrast between the moral Americans and the immoral French.
