A literary event: one of the most celebrated novels ever written, in a magnificent new translation.
Seven years ago, the incomparable Lydia Davis brought us an award- winning, rapturously reviewed new translation of Marcel Proust's Swann's Way that was hailed as "clear and true to the music of the original" ( Los Angeles Times ) and "a work of creation in its own right" (Claire Messud, Newsday ). Now she turns her gifts to the book that defined the novel as an art form.
When Emma Rouault marries dull, provincial doctor Charles Bovary, her dreams of an elegant and passionate life crumble. She escapes into sentimental novels but finds her fantasies dashed by the tedium of her days. Motherhood proves to be a burden; religion is only a brief distraction. She spends lavishly and embarks on a series of disappointing affairs. Soon heartbroken and crippled by debts, Emma takes drastic action with tragic consequences for her husband and daughter. When published in 1857, Madame Bovary was embraced by bourgeois women who claimed it spoke to the frustrations of their lives. Davis's landmark translation gives new life in English to Flaubert's masterwork.
毫无疑问,包法利夫人爱玛是个女文青。 她读了许多文风甜腻的浪漫骑士小册子,并把其精华融入了血液;当然,如果只读琼瑶阿姨的小说并不能算准文青,爱玛在被第一个情人抛弃的时候还读了些“适合于一位绝顶聪颖的女性阅读的好书”,像一些畅销类宗教伦理书籍,也就...

评分我上大学时看过《包法利夫人》,当时真是一点感觉都木有,现在偶然捡起来又看了一遍,发现名著之所以能成为名著还是有道理的——不同的人对此会有不同的解读,而同一个人在不同的阶段也会有不同的解读。 小说,只有当它内涵深刻,才经得起一再挖掘,耐看的小说才是好小说。 ...
评分大学时曾在校图书馆角落的外国文学一栏看见一本《包法利夫人》,记得是福楼拜的代表作,这类文学名著我大多是在义务制学年被老师推荐看的,但这一本老师只是匆匆略过不带任何评论。 我于是产生了兴趣——那些教育牺牲者不愿提及的东西肯定有其精彩的一面,我手里还捧着本《欧洲...
评分性格决定命运是有道理的。与其说这是本爱情小说,不如说是描述了一种悲剧性格与悲剧命运间必然的因果联系。 有些人天生比另一些人更容易感受到痛苦。天性里的不餍足,自我中心,虚荣心,自视甚高,对凡俗生活的厌弃,总着眼更高更远处,寻常生活无法令他满意,未知里才有最好的...
