The House of Mirth , by Edith Wharton , is part of the Barnes & Noble Classics series, which offers quality editions at affordable prices to the student and the general reader, including new scholarship, thoughtful design, and pages of carefully crafted extras. Here are some of the remarkable features of Barnes & Noble Classics :
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.

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...
評分 評分花了两天时间看完的,也就是了解了一个皮毛而已。而且放弃了看英文版,而看了翻译本,觉得挺别扭。 估计少有人看女性作家的作品,更不要说时外国女作家了。全文也就是说了一个怨妇在一堆怨妇中挣扎的故事。要面子又没钱的那个怨妇活得很累,要面子又有钱的怨妇们活着跟死了一样...
讀的是牛津版,本來以為會是“剩女的逆襲”,居然是大悲劇。擦,Edith Wharton 絕逼一後媽。Lily(活著的時候)和Selden 最後一次見麵看的我眼淚嘩嘩的。(果然是淚點低嗎?)像Selden這麼沒用和高姿態的男主角快點去死吧!
