The cruise of the Vanadis - Edith Wharton

The Cruise of the Vanadisis Wharton's elegant record of that journey. As sophisticated and erudite as any of Wharton's novels, the diary lay undiscovered until recently when scholar Claudine Lesage found it on a dusty library shelf in France. This beautiful illustrated edition marks the diary's first publication in the UK and provides a rare glimpse into the early career of one of America's most important writers.

Annotated with timeless photographs by distinguished photographer Jonas Dovydenas, who faithfully retraced Wharton's route, this book is an invaluable addition to the Wharton canon.
