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.

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.

评分花了两天时间看完的,也就是了解了一个皮毛而已。而且放弃了看英文版,而看了翻译本,觉得挺别扭。 估计少有人看女性作家的作品,更不要说时外国女作家了。全文也就是说了一个怨妇在一堆怨妇中挣扎的故事。要面子又没钱的那个怨妇活得很累,要面子又有钱的怨妇们活着跟死了一样...
评分 评分起初读着准备给五星的,女作家细致的观察和描写,洞彻人的心扉等等,挺有意思。但是这本不厚的书前后断断续续读了两个月,越到后来越是读不下去。整本书用两句话就可以概括了。女主拼搏在万恶却华丽的上流社会,同时又被向往真爱和正义感的另一个自己绊住脚跟,最终失败地、饮...
