Gothic有神马不好!Tony偏执守着大房子有神马错!(果然不能随便到乡下不然真的要被警察乡匪联手关起来变成疯婆子或者给人读狄更斯到死- -)
评分poor tony, Brenda, how could u ever make it to hurt him? he has formed a habit of trusting and loving you
评分another title for a proposed serialization in an american magazine (which didn't come into being in the end) is "a flat in london". while this title might not be as poetic as the original one, but it did point out the major element in this novel, one of the turning point for this story is brenda taking up a flat in london away form her big old estate, the hetton abbey, as well as a young man named john beaver. evelyn waugh told this story of a broken marriage while satirizing the time and society he lived in. author himself offered two endings to the story, one being a sad and reasonable one and another too-optimistic one. i personally prefer the first one for it fits the whole story and brenda doesn't deserve to be back with poor tony again. an interesting point i discovered during the reading: the title is from t.s eliot's the waste land, and t.s eliot used to gather and write together with aldous huxley. and the setting of this novel constantly remind of huxley's novel "crome yellow". all great writers are somehow connected, it seems.

这部带有较多自传色彩的小说追溯了tony和brenda的婚姻在brenda与john beaver通奸后的破裂过程。Brenda的婚外情受到她在伦敦的世故朋友的鼓励。小说的最后,绝望的tony为摆脱烦恼到非洲的丛林中旅行,被一个酷爱迪更斯的老人捕获,从此留在密林中为其诵读迪更斯的小说。
Laced with cynicism and truth, "A Handful of Dust" satirizes a certain stratum of English life where all the characters have money, but lack practically every other credential. Murderously urbane, it depicts the breakup of a marriage in the London gentry, where the errant wife suffers from terminal boredom, and becomes enamoured of a social parasite and professional luncheon-goer.
我多么想在“寻找一座城市”这一章前终卷,给托尼拉斯特的哥特式世界留个生存空间。 老好人托尼拉斯特,是个单纯的人,守着他的赫顿庄园,除此之外哪儿也不想去。世界上没有一个地方比得上他的家,他的赫顿是理想化的赫顿,假象中的风向标、小尖塔、滴水嘴、城垛、穹棱和窗格...
评分如果不看作者名Evelyn Waugh,简直难以想象《一把尘土》(我更喜欢《一抔土》这个译名)与《旧地重游》出自同一位作者。《旧地重游》通篇充满淡淡的哀伤,是对正在消逝的贵族生活的一曲挽歌,也是对爱情、友情和信仰的理想颂歌。而《一把尘土》却是对上层阶级无聊生活以及无所...
评分飞快地看完了《一把尘土》,而且是在饿了两天头晕眼花的状况下。伊夫林.沃说他理想的读者是那些对作者的语言感兴趣、有闲情逸志逐字逐句阅读的人。我不是合格的读者。我只是想快速地了解一下风格,决定是否可以再买其他。 冷静,斟字斟句,字里行间暗含刻薄文雅的嘲讽。故事发...

评分如果没有儿子的坠亡事件,托尼大概会永远生活在他的美梦里:古老的英国哥特式庄园永远宁静、美丽、与世隔绝;美丽的妻子会温柔地听他发表关于封建义务的演讲,会贞静地听他读完一本又一本书。然而,事实上他美丽的妻子在他发表演讲的时候“把脸埋在枕头里说着:‘上帝啊,我都...
