EDITORS COMMENTS
Edith Wharton, the celebrated American novelist and writer, is seen in this evocative photograph taken at her beloved home in Hyères, on the French Riviera, in 1921. The serene and thoughtful expression on her face speaks volumes about the depth of her creativity, as she spent countless hours penning her masterpieces amidst the stunning beauty of the South of France. Born in New York City in 1862, Wharton was a trailblazing figure in American literature, known for her incisive social commentary and exploration of the complexities of human relationships. Her novels, including "The Age of Innocence," "Ethan Frome," and "The House of Mirth," continue to captivate readers with their intricate plots, vivid characters, and insightful portrayals of society. Wharton first visited Hyères in 1897 and was immediately captivated by the region's enchanting landscape and mild climate. She purchased a villa, which she named "Les Ruines de Mougins," and made it her home for the next two decades. The tranquil surroundings provided the perfect setting for her to write, and she completed many of her most famous works during her time in the South of France. In this photograph, Wharton is dressed in a simple yet elegant outfit, with a scarf draped around her neck, as she sits in a wicker chair, surrounded by the lush greenery and vibrant flowers of her garden. The sun casts a warm glow over the scene, adding to the sense of peace and contentment that pervades the image. Edith Wharton's time in Hyères was a defining period in her life and career, and this photograph offers a glimpse into the inspiring environment that fueled her creativity and produced some of the most enduring works of American literature.
