Edith Wharton’s masterpiece brings to life the grandeur and hypocrisy of a gilded age. Set among the very rich in 1870s New York, it tells the story of Newland Archer, a young lawyer engaged to marry virginal socialite May Welland, when he meets her cousin, Countess Ellen Olenska, a woman unbound by convention and surrounded by scandal. As all three are drawn into a love triangle filled with sensuality, subtlety, and betrayal, Archer faces a harrowing choice between happiness and the social code that has ruled his life. The resulting tale of thwarted love is filled with irony and surprise, struggle and acceptance. Recipient of the first Pulitzer Prize for fiction ever awarded to a woman, this great novel paints a timeless portrait of “society” still unmatched in American literature—an arbitrary, capricious social elite that professes inviolable standards but readily abandons them for greed and desire.
伊迪絲·華頓(Edith Wharton, 1862-1937)是紐約一個名門望族瓊斯傢的女兒。和她的朋友亨利·詹姆斯一樣,她在傢中接受瞭良好的教育,後來多次齣國旅行。1885年她和一個比她大十三歲的有錢的波士頓人愛德華·華頓結瞭婚。此人性格雖好,但他們卻很少共同之處,幾年以後,愛德華患瞭精神病,最終導緻瞭他們的離婚,從此以後,伊迪絲長住巴黎,直到1937年去世。
伊迪絲·華頓起初是為瞭排遣上流社會傢庭生活的苦悶而開始寫作的。她從1880年開始發錶小說,1889年第一部短篇小說集問世,獲得瞭意外的成功。1905年長篇小說《快樂之傢》齣版,使她成瞭20世紀前二十年最受歡迎的美國作傢。1920年齣版的《純真年代》為她獲得瞭普利策奬。她一共寫瞭十九部中長篇小說,齣版過十一本短篇小說集,還有大量的非小說作品。

評分Elegant but old-fashioned, I mean the idea. Really pity for those who don't dare to pursuit their true love and are sunk with the "social code".
評分Sad, touching and powerful.
評分感覺很慢的一本書,描寫很細膩,但是有點瑣碎。世界很大
評分"Their long years together had shown him that it did not so much matter if marriage was a dull duty, as long as it kept the dignity of a duty: lapsing from that, it became a mere battle of ugly appetites. Looking about him, he honoured his own past, and mourned for it." 讀著真叫人心酸。
《纯真年代》极好地反映了那个19世纪70年代末80年代初的纽约上流社会,思想守旧而礼数苛刻,庄严肃穆中暗藏着危险。在这种环境中长大成人的纽兰,思想上有一些反抗的气息,自然被焕发着精神自由的埃伦所吸引。只可惜,纽兰的反抗只停留在内心,在现实面前,他是个地道的懦夫、...
評分 評分‘I want somehow get away with you into a world where words like that – categories like that – won’t exist. Where we shall be simply two human beings who love each other, who are the life to each other, and nothing else will matter.’ ‘Oh, my dear - whe...
評分这篇文章不该叫读后感,应该算是在书本旁边的个人随心所欲的注释更贴切一些。 整部小说人物的对话占得并不多,更多的是环境的描绘、旁白和内心表述,缓慢甚至显得有些沉闷,在一种冷淡心态中读这部小说我觉得是极为合适的,这样才能在作者清淡的笔触中品出些真味。 作者在上流...
評分让原文自己来说吧。《纯真年代》发表于1920年,作者伊迪斯.华顿(edith wharton 1862-1937,美国小说家,得过普利策奖),译林出版社,2002.01第一版。(加印了两次,估计是电影的作用) btw,电影是马丁.斯科塞斯的大作,演员分别是丹尼尔.戴.刘易斯,米歇尔.菲佛,...
