About the Book

Il etait caracteristique de sa part de garder de ses echecs un souvenir aussi aigu que de ses triomphes, et un desir passionne de les rattraper, qui comptait toujours parmi les motifs obscurs de sa conduite. Elle avait enfin ce qu'elle voulait - elle avait conscience de posseder ce qu'il y avait de mieux; et parmi les autres sensations, plus diffuses, l'adoration de Ralph lui procurait le plaisir raffine qu'aurait pu connaitre une reine guerriere portee en triomphe par les princes vaincus, et lisant dans les yeux de l'un d'eux la passion qu'il n'eut pas ose exprimer. Ondine Spragg s'ouvre les portes de l'aristocratie new-yorkaise grace a son mariage avec Ralph Marvell. Son ambition l'amene a divorcer et a se lancer a la conquete des hommes susceptibles de lui apporter tout ce qu'elle desire, c'est-a-dire l'amusement mais aussi la respectabilite. Si elle echoue face au banquier Peter Van Degen, elle va trouver une nouvelle victime en la personne du Marquis de Chelles, grace a qui elle va - espere-t-elle - trouver une place de choix dans le monde du Faubourg Saint-Germain. Mais c'est vers Elmer Moffatt, un ami d'enfance auquel elle avait ete mariee secretement, qu'elle finira par revenir et en compagnie duquel elle trouvera le bonheur. Les qualites d'analyse de la grande Edith Wharton font merveille dans cette vaste fresque qui depeint une classe a l'agonie dans ce monde du XXe siecle en pleine formation, et tracent avec une talentueuse audace le portrait d'une femme moderne.
