The House of Mirth tells the story of Lily Bart, aged 29, beautiful, impoverished and in need of a rich husband to safeguard her place in the social elite, and to support her expensive habits - her clothes, her charities and her gambling. Unwilling to marry without both love and money, Lily becomes vulnerable to the kind of gossip and slander which attach to a girl who has been on the marriage market for too long. Wharton charts the course of Lily's life, providing, along the way, a wider picture of a society in transition, a rapidly changing New York where the old certainties of manners, morals and family have disappeared and the individual has become an expendable commodity.

评分《欢乐之家》是伊迪丝华顿的代表作之一，华顿生于1862年，卒于1937年，而她的主要作品都产生于20世纪，她一生中大部分的时光都在欧洲度过，但她作品中的大部分人物都是土生土长的美国人，有别于亨利詹姆斯笔下的旅欧美国人，华顿早年受不幸婚姻的羁绊，抑郁烦闷，但她的文学实...
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...

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...

Ecclesiastes 7:4, "The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning; but the heart of fools is in the house of mirth."
评分Edith Wharton really writes with a touch of poetry. 文笔特别细腻优美，后半本书故事开始变得有趣人物也开始变得可爱
评分Ecclesiastes 7:4, "The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning; but the heart of fools is in the house of mirth."
评分磨了超过一年终于读毕，哈利路亚。Edith Wharton的作品读起来有点像自虐，故事flow极其缓慢，美丽的文笔却又勾人继续读下去。The House of Mirth, 一位美人的浮华人生与消殒，在最后的时刻，她守住了自己的阵地，而作为代价，却也不得不面对未来灰暗的前景 -- 好让我这个慢性抑郁者闹心。Selden这般懦弱的男人不要也罢
