The Age of Innocence

伊迪丝·华顿（Edith Wharton, 1862-1937）是纽约一个名门望族琼斯家的女儿。和她的朋友亨利·詹姆斯一样，她在家中接受了良好的教育，后来多次出国旅行。1885年她和一个比她大十三岁的有钱的波士顿人爱德华·华顿结了婚。此人性格虽好，但他们却很少共同之处，几年以后，爱德华患了精神病，最终导致了他们的离婚，从此以后，伊迪丝长住巴黎，直到1937年去世。伊迪丝·华顿起初是为了排遣上流社会家庭生活的苦闷而开始写作的。她从1880年开始发表小说，1889年第一部短篇小说集问世，获得了意外的成功。1905年长篇小说《快乐之家》出版，使她成了20世纪前二十年最受欢迎的美国作家。1920年出版的《纯真年代》为她获得了普利策奖。她一共写了十九部中长篇小说，出版过十一本短篇小说集，还有大量的非小说作品。

Publisher Comments:

With The Age of Innocence, Edith Wharton became the first woman to win the Pulitzer Prize. Set against the old New York of her youth, the novel portrays with unparalleled elegance the grandeur of the aristocratic order and the plight of those who envisioned freedom from its moral conventions. Here is the story of Newland Archer, a man engaged to the beautiful society girl May Welland, but privately longing for a life of genuine passion with the spirited countess Ellen Olenska. Recognized in her time as "a writer who brings glory on the name America," (The New York Times, 1920), Edith Wharton's eminence endures and her triumphant novel remains a compelling account of desire and its consequences.

用户评价

看完了小说在油管上瞄了一眼Martin scorsese 的电影版，发现评论里铺天盖地的罗曼蒂克主义：什么傲慢与偏见后史诗般地爱情，看了五遍还不够之类的。 难道这本书不是讲一群傲慢又爱装十三的纽约上层人士不作不会死的故事吗？archer newland的伪女权，may welland典型一个做作傻白甜。还特别嫌贫爱富，女主就不批了毕竟人家还是个家暴受害者。如果不能make fun of New York people 感觉这白看了。

i never expect luv with a happy ending. and to be sure, there's not

好一本含其趣味的小说，美国式“花样年华”

The upper-class life is such a bore!Archer Newland是一枚典型的金牛男，有品位，自命不凡，和正统中的极品女人结婚，内心纠结万分但外表平和，有责任感却也被动。经典桥段让人失望，不过最后一章多少补救了一些。
