The Dutch painter Vermeer has remained one of the great enigmas of 17th-century Dutch art. While little is known of his personal life, his extraordinary paintings of natural and domestic life, with their subtle play of light and colour, have come to define the Dutch Golden Age. The mysterious portrait of the anonymous Girl with a Pearl Earring has fascinated art historians for centuries, and it is this magnetic painting that lies at the heart of Tracy Chevalier's second novel of the same title.
Girl with a Pearl Earring centres on Vermeer's prosperous household in Delft in the 1660s. The appointment of the quiet, perceptive heroine of the novel, the servant Griet, gradually throws the household into turmoil as Vermeer and Griet become increasingly intimate, an increasingly tense situation that culminates in her working for Vermeer as his assistant, and ultimately sitting for him as a model. Chevalier deliberately cultivates a limpid, painstakingly observed style in homage to Vermeer, and the complex domestic tensions of the Vermeer household are vividly evoked, from the jealous, vain, young wife to the wise, taciturn mother-in-law. At times the relationship between servant and master seems a little anachronistic, but Girl with a Pearl Earring does contain a final delicious twist in its tail. Chevalier acknowledges her debt to Simon Schama's classic study of the Dutch Golden Age, The Embarrassment of Riches, and the novel comes hard on the heels of Deborah Moggach's similar tale of domestic intrigue behind the easel of 17th-century Dutch painting, Tulip Fever.
Girl with a Pearl Earring is a fascinating piece of speculative historical fiction, but how much more can novelists extract from the Dutch Golden Age? --Jerry Brotton --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

這圖書紛紛揚揚的2007年,買過許多書,也讀過許多書,但多數書轉眼便忘記瞭. 不能不提到媒體的巨大力量.雖然依然暗自評價:我不聽他們怎麼做,一定要去看看圖書的真相.但事實上,你無法看到真相. 記得在十一中間的一個雨天,小小的書店裏沒有人,我獨自進去時,隻有一個買書的中年婦...
評分這部電影我看過有很長時間瞭, 反復的看,差不多也有5邊瞭. 昨天去書店.剛好看到有這本書. 也就翻看看瞭,故事情節基本和電影的一樣 很喜歡這個故事,很喜歡這種電影的巧妙安排. 維梅爾和葛麗葉到底是怎樣認識的,會是怎樣的結果 這一直是一個謎.從開頭到結尾都沒有一個很好的解說...
評分作為我第一部完整讀完的英文原版書,我應該對它手下留情纔好。但是豆瓣上介紹其為韆古餘恨的腔調實在激怒瞭我。 如果說看電影還有些畫麵的美感,看書就什麼都不剩瞭。我是邊看邊吐槽的。女主太壞,總覺得她一心想當小三。占著屠戶兒子這個理想的未來伴侶,又幻想和主人在一起。...
評分在同一段時間看掉瞭電影《八個女人》和書《戴珍珠耳環的少女》,電影是在辦公室偷偷看掉的,看到馬索的妹妹,那個年輕時曾是妓女的女人黑色風衣隨著音樂緩緩撩開,隔裏是火一樣的紅色,再把身上黑色上衣脫去,裏麵又是火紅的連衣裙,手上是火紅的手套,她帶著成熟女人的優雅從...
