"Xingu" by Edith Wharton is a satirical short story exploring social class, intellectual pretension, and the complexities of communication within New York City`s high society. The narrative centers on a group of women and their misinterpretations surrounding a mysterious lake, "Xingu," which becomes a symbol of their ignorance. Published in 1911, it reflects Wharton`s keen eye for observing human foibles and the superficiality of the era. This classic work offers a glimpse into early 20th-century social dynamics.
