如果隻看梗概的話,伊迪絲·華頓的這部經典作品《純真年代》,其實不過是一個再俗套不過的三角戀故事——裏麵有一個單純的小姑娘,一個優雅的貴婦人,再加上搖擺不定的、善良但執意的男青年。故事裏的人們就像是沒有彆的事情可做似的,整日隻知道談戀愛,“衣帶漸寬終不悔,為...
評分純真年代根本是一個可以用一句話說完的俗套故事——這點和十年前同樣讓我泣不成聲的《似水年華》很像。不止是風格,情節也類似糾結——麥剋尤恩《最初最後》的中文譯本後麵有幾篇跋,其中一句深得我心:大意是說這類創作的相似度可以很高,因為每個人寫作時都帶入瞭曾經作為讀...

書挺難懂的,很多介紹背景的段落,感覺故事占的比例並不多。諾頓這本後麵加瞭很多背景知識介紹,還有批評文章,但真的看不下去,怎麼那麼多。
評分The novel is sort of boring, although the ending is impressive. The more important aspect of this book is the critic edition which contains the background, related theory and critic essays of this novel. It introduces me about how Americans analyze a novel. I can learn from it in my later research on other novels.
