Description
Vanity Square: A Story of Fifth Avenue Life is a novel written by Edgar Saltus. The book is set in the late 19th century and follows the lives of the wealthy elite living in New York City's Fifth Avenue. The story focuses on a group of socialites who are obsessed with their status and reputation, and their constant struggle to maintain their position in society. The main character, Mrs. Billy Van Cortlandt, is a beautiful and wealthy woman who is determined to remain at the top of the social ladder. She is known for her extravagant parties and her ability to manipulate those around her. However, her world is turned upside down when her husband's business fails, and she is forced to confront the reality of her situation. As the story unfolds, the reader is introduced to a cast of characters, including artists, writers, and politicians, who are all vying for a place in the social hierarchy. The novel explores themes of love, ambition, and the corrupting influence of wealth and power. Overall, Vanity Square is a fascinating portrait of the social elite in late 19th century New York City. It offers a glimpse into a world of opulence and excess, but also reveals the dark underbelly of a society driven by status and ambition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
