‘The Hermit and the Wild Woman' is a collection of short stories through which Wharton explores the themes of choice and morality. A surprising read, the stories feature a wide variety of central protagonists, including a lawyer’s wife, a struggling artist, a governor, and a monk living in cloisters. Shot through with wry humour, cultural criticism, and psychological observations, this book is perfect for fans of Wharton, who want to get to know the author a little better. Edith Wharton (1862 – 1937) was an American designer and novelist. Born in an era when the highest ambition a woman could aspire to was a good marriage, Wharton went on to become one of America’s most celebrated authors. During her career, she wrote over 40 books, using her wealthy upbringing to bring authenticity and detail to stories about the upper classes. She moved to France in 1923, where she continued to write until her death.

Excerpt from The Hermit and the Wild Woman: And Other Stories The Hermit lived in a cave in the hollow of a hill. Below him was a glen, with a stream in a coppice of oaks and alders, and across the valley, half a day's journey distant, another hill, steep and bristling, raised against the sky a little walled town with Ghibelline swallow-tails. When the Hermit was a lad, and lived in the town, the crenellations of the walls had been square-topped, and a Guelf lord had flown his standard from the keep. Then one day a steel-coloured line of men-at-arms rode across the valley, wound up the hill and battered in the gates. Stones and Greek fire rained from the ramparts, shields clashed in the streets, blade sprang at blade in passages and stairways, pikes and lances dripped above huddled flesh, and all the still familiar place was a stew of dying bodies. The boy fled from it in horror. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

ONE day he resolved to set forth on a visit to the Saint of the Rock, who lived on the other sideof the mountains. Travellers had brought the Hermit report of this solitary, how he lived in greatholiness and austerity in a desert place among the hills, where snow lay all winter, and in summer thesun beat down cruelly. The Saint, it appeared, had vowed that he would withdraw from the world toa spot where there was neither shade nor water, lest he should be tempted to take his ease and thinkless continually upon his Maker; but wherever he went he found a spreading tree or a gushingspring, till at last he climbed up to the bare heights where nothing grows, and where the only watercomes from the melting of the snow in spring. Here he found a tall rock rising from the ground, andin it he scooped a hollow with his own hands, labouring for five years and wearing his fingers to thebone. Then he seated himself in the hollow, which faced the west, so that in winter he should havesmall warmth of the sun and in summer be consumed by it; and there he had sat without moving foryears beyond number.The Hermit was greatly drawn by the tale of such austerities, which in his humility he did notdream of emulating, but desired, for his soul's good, to contemplate and praise; so one day he boundsandals to his feet, cut an alder staff from the stream, and set out to visit the Saint of the Rock.
