Xingu
by Edith Wharton
Showcasing the talent of one of the greatest novelists of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, this collection brings together five short stories by Edith Wharton. Jealous men, spinners who waste their lives, and bored women who are fascinated by money and aspirations fill up on these stories, ranging from moral drama to satire. Although primarily known for his novels, Wharton's sense of humor and spirit still shine through in these short works.
