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...
評分读完了,译笔流畅,心理细腻,不错的风俗小说。是世俗的力量打败了爱情吗?诚如鲁迅先生所说,在这困顿中,可以看透很多事情。 “她看不起自己所追求的东西。”这样的人越来越少了。也许,我们会发现自己还没有那么堕落吧?我们有弱点,但是我们也有不能放下的自尊。 从小说的...
評分她生活的环境好象眼下的娱乐圈,她努力想保持纯洁清白,可又想轻易获得财富,最终还是被卷进恶毒的流言。 《书摘》上的小说简介写得真是好,好到我在大学图书馆里找到这本破旧的小说,翻阅时竟然觉得跟简介写得一模一样(也许本末倒置?)。 我记得她在名画表演上举起双臂,顿...
評分Lily Bart, a beautiful and unmarried woman, 29-year-old, living in the leisure-class of New York, is eager to marry. Unfortunately, she misses several chances of attaining her goal, some of which have been broken by her own faults, others by other people’s...
評分“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...
English version of 長恨歌
评分She writes in a male-style. A depressed story anyway.
评分2013.6.3 想說的話有太多,而我該如何開始?世界上有兩種書,一種是翻瞭幾百頁,每句話都看瞭,但是都看不進去,像看糊瞭一張麵具的人們唱戲。還有一種是從第一個字開始,每一個標點符號你都知道為什麼會齣現在那裏。人物的所有心情,你早就懂得。書裏每一句話你都恨不得抄下來。你和這本書的相逢仿佛是命運的注定。這就是我讀Edith Wharton的心情。如果把她比喻成美國的張愛玲,讀她的人會不會多一點?但是我覺得她的文字比張愛玲積極多瞭。她筆下的小尊嚴和小虛榮,有小悲愴,但是亦不乏小小的詩性正義。對Lily的寬容是,最後Sheldon仍然愛她。對Sheldon的殘忍是,直到她生命的最後一刻,他仍然沒有完全懂她。這也許就是Wharton對兩性的理解。
评分The author almost held a stoic moral standard for her heroine,elaborately plotting her to the predetermined tragic yet untouching ending.
评分The book itself wasn't really a page-turner but the last few scenes were so piercingly moving that it was well worth the read after all :(
