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. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penguin Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"STANDARD","offer_id":62242674180483,"sku":"9780143137207","price":28.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0907\/8456\/3587\/files\/9780143137207.jpg?v=1785400878","url":"https:\/\/shopcomics.eu\/products\/the-custom-of-the-country-9780143137207","provider":"Shop Comics EU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
