William Dean Howells' richly humorous characterization of a self-made millionaire in Boston society provides a paradigm of American culture in the Gilded Age. After establishing a fortune in the paint business, Silas Lapham moves his family from their Vermont farm to the city of Boston, where they awkwardly attempt to break into Brahmin society. Silas, greedy for wealth as well as prestige, brings his company to the brink of bankruptcy, and the family is forced to return to Vermont, financially ruined but morally renewed. As Kermit Vanderbilt points out in his introduction, the novel focuses on important themes in the American literary tradition: the efficacy of self-help and determination, the ambiguous benefits of social and economic progress, and the continual contradiction between urban and pastoral values.

读的是signet classic版,语言比较简单。剧情反转有些出乎意料。超级喜欢结局。被除了M.K.Rogert 以外的角色暖到。很喜欢Silas Lapham!上周开始看,实际26/27都是这三天刷完,还是比计划多了一天。ʕ̡̢̡⌯͒•ɷ•⌯͒ʔ̢̡̢ anyway,可以专心肝lord jim 惹!五星给治愈的结局。⁽⁽ૢ(⁎❝ົཽω❝ົཽ⁎)✧给自己也鼓鼓掌叭(๑*◡*๑)
比想象的好看。有些场景很细腻真实,人物还算丰满。
