好难啊。大师就是大师
评分NOT my king of the novel: new/original ending; sentimentality; caricatures; eccentricity;coincidences; emotional interest;fairy tales
评分引人入胜,有点难读
评分还是去年有一天跟老马夫妇在肯特的Oare Marshes看鸟,他们跟我说这地方就是狄更斯great expectations小说里主人公遇见逃犯的地方,于是决定无论如何要看看这本小说。缓慢地终于读完了。觉得好玩的是为了人物的塑造,在英语中狄更斯特意写出了口音感,虽然刚开始造成了我阅读的时候的“大雾”,习惯后还挺有意思的。But书的内容本身还是在我期望之下,情节有些拖沓,有些故意设计的巧合的情节以为是伏笔但后续没有故事上推进就只是个巧合而已,人物有时突然出现,甚至莫名的出现,又大段消失,让人理解不了动机,也理解不了大段刻画的意义。
评分Oh~Pip
Charles John Huffam Dickens (7 February 1812 – 9 June 1870) was an English writer and social critic. He created some of the world's best-known fictional characters and is regarded by many as the greatest novelist of the Victorian era. His works enjoyed unprecedented popularity during his lifetime, and by the 20th century critics and scholars had recognised him as a literary genius. His novels and short stories are still widely read today.
Born in Portsmouth, Dickens left school to work in a factory when his father was incarcerated in a debtors' prison. Despite his lack of formal education, he edited a weekly journal for 20 years, wrote 15 novels, five novellas, hundreds of short stories and non-fiction articles, lectured and performed readings extensively, was an indefatigable letter writer, and campaigned vigorously for children's rights, education, and other social reforms.
Dickens's literary success began with the 1836 serial publication of The Pickwick Papers. Within a few years he had become an international literary celebrity, famous for his humour, satire, and keen observation of character and society. His novels, most published in monthly or weekly instalments, pioneered the serial publication of narrative fiction, which became the dominant Victorian mode for novel publication. Cliffhanger endings in his serial publications kept readers in suspense. The instalment format allowed Dickens to evaluate his audience's reaction, and he often modified his plot and character development based on such feedback. For example, when his wife's chiropodist expressed distress at the way Miss Mowcher in David Copperfield seemed to reflect her disabilities, Dickens improved the character with positive features. His plots were carefully constructed, and he often wove elements from topical events into his narratives. Masses of the illiterate poor chipped in ha'pennies to have each new monthly episode read to them, opening up and inspiring a new class of readers.
Dickens was regarded as the literary colossus of his age. His 1843 novella, A Christmas Carol, remains popular and continues to inspire adaptations in every artistic genre. Oliver Twist and Great Expectations are also frequently adapted, and, like many of his novels, evoke images of early Victorian London. His 1859 novel, A Tale of Two Cities, set in London and Paris, is his best-known work of historical fiction. Dickens has been praised by fellow writers—from Leo Tolstoy to George Orwell, G. K. Chesterton and Tom Wolfe —for his realism, comedy, prose style, unique characterisations, and social criticism. On the other hand, Oscar Wilde, Henry James, and Virginia Woolf complained of a lack of psychological depth, loose writing, and a vein of saccharine sentimentalism. The term Dickensian is used to describe something that is reminiscent of Dickens and his writings, such as poor social conditions or comically repulsive characters.
In the marshy mists of a village churchyard, atiny orphan boy named Pip is suddenly terrified by ashivering, limping convict on the run. Yearslater, a supremely arrogant young Pip boards the coachto London where, by the grace of a mysteriousbenefactor, he will join the ranks of the idle richand "become a gentleman." Finally, in theluminous mists of the village at evening, Pip theman meets Estella, his dazzingly beautifultormentor, in a ruined garden--and lays to rest all theheartaches and illusions that his "greatexpectations" have brought upon him. Dickens'sbiographer, Edgar H. Johnson, has said that--exceptfor the author's last-minute tampering with hisoriginal ending-- Great Expectations is "the most perfectly constructed andperfectly written of all Dickens's works." In JohnIrving's Introduction to this edition, thenovelist takes the view that Dickens's revised ending is"far more that mirror of the quality of trust inthe novel as a whole." Both versions of theending are printed here.

评分这两年养成阅读习惯,几本书同时读,精力容易集中时就看诗歌诗论,还有哲学历史之类,倦了时便拿起有情节的小说散文。最近读的小说是狄更斯的名着《远大前程》,以前看过电影的小人书,没有看过原着。 自从开始学写诗歌,看小说也与以前侧重不同,故事的精彩、情节的...

评分终于把狄更斯老爷子这本书读完了。读的过程很艰难,尤其在网上看过一句话说,如果你觉得读不下去的书,就扔掉,换别的书读。我也一度想放弃,但我总觉得这样对不起狄更斯老爷子,我也想知道过程有时晦涩一些,那结局究竟会哪样?我也不确定自己是否真的能读下去,我有个不太好...
