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.
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...
评分“智者的心,住在哀伤之家;愚者的心,住在欢乐之家”。 莉莉·芭特灿烂短暂如流星的一生命运,正是在这两级间的挣扎。一卷跌宕起伏的感情史,一幅衣香鬓影的纽约风情画,一个无法泯灭最终良心的困顿灵魂,一个上流阶层版本的《嘉利妹妹》,又一出美国悲剧。 本书是伊迪丝·华...

评分In Chapter 13, when Lily met Nettie Struther, the woman she'd helped by her charity work, she was told that Nettie's baby girl was named "Marry Anto'nette" (Marie Antoinette) because she sees the resemblance between Miss Bart and the French queen's beauty. ...
Weeping with anger and despair. I want to strangle every person in this book except Lily, Gerty, Mrs Struther... and perhaps Carry Fisher and Rosedale.
评分她的书,五星从来是不够的。化用毛姆面纱里的话。我虚荣,我浅薄,我屈服了,我堕落了,可是我努力过了,我的美貌没让我往上爬,它带我往下降,我的智慧用错了地方,但我想回头已经太晚了。一个人,她怎么能单打独斗面对这个注定要吞噬她的世界呢?你看着我走错,你说你喜欢我,可是,你可曾真正关心我? 我觉得她是在用死亡报复他。
评分淑女是高级饰品,绅士是赚钱机器,这样的上流社会,存在有什么意义?
评分2013.6.3 想说的话有太多,而我该如何开始?世界上有两种书,一种是翻了几百页,每句话都看了,但是都看不进去,像看糊了一张面具的人们唱戏。还有一种是从第一个字开始,每一个标点符号你都知道为什么会出现在那里。人物的所有心情,你早就懂得。书里每一句话你都恨不得抄下来。你和这本书的相逢仿佛是命运的注定。这就是我读Edith Wharton的心情。如果把她比喻成美国的张爱玲,读她的人会不会多一点?但是我觉得她的文字比张爱玲积极多了。她笔下的小尊严和小虚荣,有小悲怆,但是亦不乏小小的诗性正义。对Lily的宽容是,最后Sheldon仍然爱她。对Sheldon的残忍是,直到她生命的最后一刻,他仍然没有完全懂她。这也许就是Wharton对两性的理解。
评分Most pretentious & wordy.Origin of Gossip Girl. Or I only dip in the surface and never get the greatness?
