Here are some of the remarkable features of Barnes & Noble Classics :
All editions are beautifully designed and are printed to superior specifications; some include illustrations of historical interest. Barnes & Noble Classics pulls together a constellation of influencesbiographical, historical, and literaryto enrich each reader's understanding of these enduring works. Edith Wharton ’s dark view of society, the somber economics of marriage, and the powerlessness of the unwedded woman in the 1870s emerge dramatically in the tragic novel The House of Mirth . Faced with an array of wealthy suitors, New York socialite Lily Bart falls in love with lawyer Lawrence Selden, whose lack of money spoils their chances for happiness together. Dubious business deals and accusations of liaisons with a married man diminish Lily’s social status, and as she makes one bad choice after another, she learns how venal and brutally unforgiving the upper crust of New York can be.
one of America’s finest novels of manners, The House of Mirth is a beautifully written and ultimately tragic account of the human capacity for cruelty.

评分“淡淡的忧伤”，这是雕爷牛腩家的一道前点，其实就是一颗煮鸡蛋，面对诧异的餐客，服务员操着不太标准的普通话，讲着这颗鸡蛋顾名不可思义的做法，脸上的面纱似乎在遮掩背后嘲弄的笑容。这颗在低温的温水中煮熟的鸡蛋，仿佛因为这文艺范儿的名字也显露出一种异常优雅的气质，...
