Age of Innocence

The return of the beautiful Countess Olenska, who lived in Europe for a while, to New York, where conservative and strict customs prevail, creates a great reaction in society. Appearing on the night of the engagement of the well-positioned young lawyer Newland Archer and the beautiful May Welland, Countess Olenska becomes a figure that colors the life of the high society with her story of abandoning her husband, her intellectual spirit, her fondness for freedom and her stance that is different from everyone else.

This young woman, who stabs Archer's heart like a dagger with her melancholic looks and unapproachable attitude, finds the return of the feelings she longs for in this young man. So, will the desire to live love freely be possible for two lovers in a society where nothing remains secret? Edith Wharton's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, The Age of Innocence, one of the important female writers of 19th century American literature, deals with a secret love story from a framework where social judgments and human psychology intersect.
