Edith Wharton foi uma escritora americana de muito sucesso, com mais de quarenta livros e centenas de contos e poemas publicados. Primeira mulher vencedora do prêmio Pulitzer de literatura, Doutora pela Universidade de Yale e membro pleno da Academia Americana de Artes e Letras, foram algumas de suas realizações literárias. A obra A Casa da Alegria, juntamente com Ethan Frome e No Tempo da Inocência, foi um de seus maiores sucessos. Publicado originalmente em 1905, A Casa da Alegria conta a história de Lily Bart em sua tentativa de se manter entre a alta sociedade nova-iorquina do início do século XX, embora já não tenha recursos financeiros para isso. Ela é uma jovem linda e muito bem educada, mas sua renda é composta apenas por uma modesta pensão deixada por seus pais e a caridade de uma tia levemente avarenta que a acolhe em seu lar. A Casa da Alegria é um romance para devorar e se surpreender. A autora, assim como a personagem principal, teve um casamento infeliz com um milionário de quem se divorciou posteriormente, o que dá a obra tons autobiográficos.

Órfã aos dezenove anos, Lily Bart é acolhida por uma tia no seio de um dos clãs mais antigos da sociedade de Nova York. Dez anos depois, ele ainda é solteiro e nem sua escassa renda pessoal nem a generosidade condicional de seu protetor contribuíram para sua independência. "Incapaz de casar por dinheiro, mas igualmente incapaz de viver sem ele", aspira a "uma situação em que a atitude mais nobre é também a mais fácil." A complexidade de seu desejo não corresponde à realidade de suas oportunidades, e Lily gradualmente se perderá e descerá a um mundo de violentas convenções secretamente governadas pela manipulação, desafeto, engano e chantagem."The House of Joy" foi o romance que consagrou Edith Wharton, aclamado desde sua publicação como um clássico americano.

Muitos líderes cristãos atuais são contra esse livro, porque Deus inspirou seus ensinos para confrontar o que é falsamente ensinado em muitas igrejas. Ele também foi escrito com o objetivo de convidar a todos aqueles que creem em Jesus a fazer ou continuar fazendo a viagem de retorno àquilo que realmente importa: O Evangelho puro da Bíblia segundo o Espírito de Jesus Cristo. Nosso objetivo é anunciar a mensagem genuína de Deus que nos ensina o que realmente tem valor em nossas vidas: Nossa entrada na eternidade com o Senhor Jesus. Mesmo porque se esperássemos em Cristo somente nessa vida, seríamos os mais miseráveis de todos os homens. Neste livro estão expostos os ensinamentos a respeito da Palavra de Deus tendo como alvo dar honra ao nome de Cristo Jesus nosso Senhor, edificando a fé, encorajando e exortando o povo de Deus por toda a Terra. Amém em nome de Jesus. A Ele a glória hoje e no dia da eternidade.

The House of Mirth (1905), a novel by Edith Wharton (1862-1937), tells the story of Lily Bart, a well-born but impoverished woman belonging to New York City's high society around the turn of the last century. Wharton creates a portrait of a stunning beauty who, though raised and educated to marry well both socially and economically, is reaching her 29th year, an age when her youthful blush is drawing to a close and her marital prospects are becoming ever more limited. The House of Mirth traces Lily's slow two-year social descent from privilege to a tragically lonely existence on the margins of society. In the words of one scholar, Wharton uses Lily as an attack on "an irresponsible, grasping and morally corrupt upper class.

Lily Bart, a beautiful but impoverished socialite, is on her way to a house party at Bellomont, the country home of her best friend, Judy Trenor. Her pressing task is to find a husband with the requisite wealth and status to maintain her place in New York society. Additional challenges to her success are her advancing age--at twenty-nine, she has been on the "marriage market" for more than ten years--her penchant for gambling at bridge that has left her with debts beyond her means to pay, and her efforts as part of upper-crust society to keep up appearances with her wealthy friends. Lily's choices are further complicated by her innermost desire to marry for love as well as money and status, and her longing to be free of the claustrophobic constrictions and routines of upper-crust society.Judy has arranged for her to spend more time in the company of Percy Gryce, a potential suitor who is wealthy but whom Lily finds boring. Lily grew up surrounded by elegance and luxury--an atmosphere she believes she cannot live without, as she has learned to abhor "dinginess." The loss of her father's wealth and the death of her parents left her an orphan at twenty. Lacking an inheritance or a caring protector, she adapts to life as a ward of her strait-laced aunt Julia Peniston from whom she receives an erratic allowance, a fashionable address, and good food, but little direction or parenting. Lily despises her aunt Julia and avoids her whenever possible while simultaneously relying on her for both necessities and luxuries.In the opening sentence of the House of Mirth Edith Wharton places Lily in "Grand Central Station"[i] where Selden, a friend and possible love interest, is taken by surprise to see her.[1] Threats to Lily's reputation exist because of her tendency to push the limits of polite and acceptable behavior. On the way to visit Bellomont, she impulsively accompanies Selden during her two-hour wait for the change of trains to his Manhattan flat in the Benedick Building. On leaving the building, she encounters Mr. Rosedale, a Jewish businessman known to her set and the owner of the building. Attempting to cover the appearance of an indiscretion, she worsens the situation by telling Rosedale she had been consulting her dress-maker.[j] This obvious lie is the first of a series of faux pas Lily gets caught up in. As she makes an effort to explain away the social chances she takes, she becomes easy prey for her enemies to misrepresent her intention and behavior.Near the week's end, the tall, handsome and engaging Lawrence Selden unexpectedly shows up at Bellomont. Having already failed to meet Percy for morning church services, and fully aware that Lawrence has just ended an illicit relationship with the married but vindictive Bertha Dorset, Lily chooses to go for a long walk with Lawrence and to spend the afternoon with him instead of with Percy or the rest of the party. Even though Lily has already made it clear to Selden during their tête-à-tête in his flat that she looked at him as that friend who won't be afraid to say disagreeable things to her,[k] she becomes drawn to him romantically. Succumbing to her agreeable femininity, Selden begins to fall in love with Lily. He feels safe in nurturing an emotional attachment to her because she clearly states that she cannot and will not marry a man of his modest means. Fresh out of his four-year affair with Bertha Dorset Lawrence begins to slide into another emotional attachment with the equally unavailable Lily.
