An immensely popular bestseller upon its publication in 1905, The House of Mirth was Edith Wharton’s first great novel. Set among the elegant brownstones of New York City and opulent country houses like gracious Bellomont on the Hudson, the novel creates a satiric portrayal of what Wharton herself called “a society of irresponsible pleasure-seekers” with a precision comparable to that of Proust. And her brilliant and complex characterization of the doomed Lily Bart, whose stunning beauty and dependence on marriage for economic survival reduce her to a decorative object, becomes an incisive commentary on the nature and status of women in that society. From her tragic attraction to bachelor lawyer Lawrence Selden to her desperate relationship with social-climbing Rosedale, Lily is all too much a product of the world indicated by the title, a phrase taken from Ecclesiastes: “The heart of fools is in the house of mirth.” For it is Lily’s very specialness that threatens the elegance and fulfillment she seeks in life. Along with the author’s other masterpiece, The Age of Innocence , this novel claims a place among the finest American novels of manners.

評分讀完瞭,譯筆流暢,心理細膩,不錯的風俗小說。是世俗的力量打敗瞭愛情嗎?誠如魯迅先生所說,在這睏頓中,可以看透很多事情。 “她看不起自己所追求的東西。”這樣的人越來越少瞭。也許,我們會發現自己還沒有那麼墮落吧?我們有弱點,但是我們也有不能放下的自尊。 從小說的...
評分 評分花瞭兩天時間看完的,也就是瞭解瞭一個皮毛而已。而且放棄瞭看英文版,而看瞭翻譯本,覺得挺彆扭。 估計少有人看女性作傢的作品,更不要說時外國女作傢瞭。全文也就是說瞭一個怨婦在一堆怨婦中掙紮的故事。要麵子又沒錢的那個怨婦活得很纍,要麵子又有錢的怨婦們活著跟死瞭一樣...
