An immensely popular bestseller upon its publication in 1905, The House of Mirth was Edith Wharton’s first great novel. Set among the elegant brownstones of New York City and opulent country houses like gracious Bellomont on the Hudson, the novel creates a satiric portrayal of what Wharton herself called “a society of irresponsible pleasure-seekers” with a precision comparable to that of Proust. And her brilliant and complex characterization of the doomed Lily Bart, whose stunning beauty and dependence on marriage for economic survival reduce her to a decorative object, becomes an incisive commentary on the nature and status of women in that society. From her tragic attraction to bachelor lawyer Lawrence Selden to her desperate relationship with social-climbing Rosedale, Lily is all too much a product of the world indicated by the title, a phrase taken from Ecclesiastes: “The heart of fools is in the house of mirth.” For it is Lily’s very specialness that threatens the elegance and fulfillment she seeks in life. Along with the author’s other masterpiece, The Age of Innocence , this novel claims a place among the finest American novels of manners.

评分怎么说呢，小姐的身子丫鬟的命。 看完book 1 如果女主生长在现在，肯定境遇会好很多。就像一个漂亮清脆叫声的小鸟,被寒冷冻死了。令人惋惜。 可能女主唯一可以称为缺点的就是太贪心，想要财富又想要脱离财富的豁达人格。在那个时代两者本身是矛盾的。财富的代表rosedale向她伸...
评分心理描写很细致，很多处也都很有女权主义的雏形。只是当下社会已经给了女性更多的的选择，所以没有太多的代入感。如今女人不再是当客厅的太太一条路了，就算是上流社会的公主也是要去投行训练一下，有“正经工作”的。在此真挚地谢谢书中扮演背景的女工，是他们的存在和努力最...
