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.

评分怎么说呢,小姐的身子丫鬟的命。 看完book 1 如果女主生长在现在,肯定境遇会好很多。就像一个漂亮清脆叫声的小鸟,被寒冷冻死了。令人惋惜。 可能女主唯一可以称为缺点的就是太贪心,想要财富又想要脱离财富的豁达人格。在那个时代两者本身是矛盾的。财富的代表rosedale向她伸...
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...
