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.
感覺作者沒有奧斯丁有名一個是因為語言(太多gre單詞和從句瞭。。。讀著費勁)另一個是不給主角happy ending。可能女主在現實生活中會是我因為不瞭解而輕視的那類人,但從書中她的角度看這個世界,體會她的快樂與煩惱,魚和熊掌,還是憐惜她的。看到一半,粗俗男魚死網破之後,很慶幸男主的錶妹可以仍然堅守自己的原則。再感嘆一下沒媽的孩子真的沒人疼!!!所以我要保護好自己的身體。我去!看到第12章哭慘瞭!女主在睏境裏堅守內心的時候都對我是一個重擊。
評分第一本認真讀完每一頁的英文小說。congratulations= =
評分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 :(
評分Only half done
評分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。
起初读着准备给五星的,女作家细致的观察和描写,洞彻人的心扉等等,挺有意思。但是这本不厚的书前后断断续续读了两个月,越到后来越是读不下去。整本书用两句话就可以概括了。女主拼搏在万恶却华丽的上流社会,同时又被向往真爱和正义感的另一个自己绊住脚跟,最终失败地、饮...
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“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,...
評分In Chapter 13, when Lily met Nettie Struther, the woman she'd helped by her charity work, she was told that Nettie's baby girl was named "Marry Anto'nette" (Marie Antoinette) because she sees the resemblance between Miss Bart and the French queen's beauty. ...
