Synopsis "Labels: A Mediterranean Journal (Penguin Modern Classics) "

A tale of forbidden sexual passion and thwarted dreams played out against the lush summer backdrop of the Massachusetts Berkshires Edith Wharton called Summer her hot Ethan. In their rural settings and their poor uneducated protagonists Summer (1916) and Ethan Frome represent a sharp departure from Whartons familiar depictions of the urban upper class. Charity Royall lives unhappily with her hard drinking adoptive father in an isolated village until a visiting architect awakens her sexual passion and the hope for escape. Exploring Charitys relation to her father and her lover Wharton delves into dark cultural territory repressed sexuality small town prejudice and in subtle hints incest.

Evelyn Waugh (1903–1966) was a British novelist known for his sharp social satire and elegant prose. Educated at Lancing College and Hertford College, Oxford, he briefly worked as a teacher before fully dedicating himself to writing. His experiences in World War II notably influenced his work, especially in the Sword of Honour trilogy (1952–1961).

Among his most notable works are Decline and Fall (1928), A Handful of Dust (1934), Scoop (1938), and Brideshead Revisited (1945), the latter considered one of his most influential novels. He also wrote biographies, travel books, and short stories, establishing himself as a central figure in 20th-century English literature.
