Edith Wharton

Edith Wharton emerged as one of America’s most insightful novelists, deftly exposing the tensions between societal expectation and personal desire through her vivid portrayals of upper-class life. Drawing from her deep familiarity with New York’s privileged “aristocracy,” she offered readers a keenly observed and piercingly honest vision of Gilded Age society.
Her work reached a milestone when she became the first woman to receive the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction, awarded for The Age of Innocence. This novel highlights the constraining rituals of 1870s New York society and remains a defining portrait of elegance laced with regret.

W. Somerset Maugham

William Somerset Maugham was born in Paris in 1874. He spoke French even before he spoke a word of English, a fact to which some critics attribute the purity of his style.

His parents died early and, after an unhappy boyhood, which he recorded poignantly in Of Human Bondage, Maugham became a qualified physician. But writing was his true vocation. For ten years before his first success, he almost literally starved while pouring out novels and plays.

Maugham wrote at a time when experimental modernist literature such as that of William Faulkner, Thomas Mann, James Joyce and Virginia Woolf was gaining increasing popularity and winning critical acclaim. In this context, his plain prose style was criticized as 'such a tissue of clichés' that one

Narcís Oller

Narcís Oller (Valls, 1846 - Barcelona, 1930). Primer gran novel·lista català de la Renaixença, és considerat el creador de la novel·la catalana moderna. Ocupa un lloc destacat en el marc global de la novel·la realista gràcies a obres com La papallona (1882), L'Escanyapobres (1884), Vilaniu (1885), La febre d'or (1890-1892), La bogeria (1899) o Pilar Prim (1906). De formació romàntica, es va anar decantant cap a l'opció estètica naturalista propera a Émile Zola. Va aconseguir, no obstant, un estil propi, que el mateix Zola en una carta-pròleg a la traducció francesa de La papallona va especificar. Narcís Oller va incorporar temes i una visió del món inèdits en la literatura catalana vuitcentista.
