From its sharply satiric opening sentence, Mansfield Park dealas with money and marriage, and how strongly they affect each other. Shy, fragile Fanny Price is the consummate "poor relation." Sent to live with her wealthy uncle Thomas, she clashes with his spoiled, selfish daughters and falls in love with his son. Their lives are further complicated by the arrival of a pair of witty, sophisticated Londoners, whose flair for flirtation collides with the quiet, conservative country ways of Mansfield Park.
Written several years after the early manuscripts that eventually became Sense and Sensibility and Pride and Prejudice , Mansfield Park retains Austen ’s familiar compassion and humor but offers a far more complex exploration of moral choices and their emotional consequences.

奥斯丁,1775年12月16日生于斯蒂文顿乡一教区牧师家庭。受到较好的家庭教育,主要教材就是父亲的文学藏书。奥斯丁一家爱读流行小说,多半是庸俗的消遣品。她少女时期的习作就是对这类流行小说的滑稽模仿,这样就形成了她作品中嘲讽的基调。她的六部小说《理智与感伤》(1811)《傲慢与偏见》(1813)《曼斯斐尔德花园》(1814)《爱玛》(1815)以及作者逝世以后出版的《诺桑觉修道院》(1818)和《劝导》(1818),大半以乡镇上的中产阶级日常生活为题材,通过爱情婚姻等方面的矛盾冲突反映了18世纪末、19世纪初英国社会的风貌。作品中往往通过喜剧性的场面嘲讽人们的愚蠢、自私、势利和盲目自信等可鄙可笑的弱点。奥斯丁的小说出现在19世纪初叶,一扫风行一时的假浪漫主义潮流,继承和发展了英国18世纪优秀的现实主义传统,为19世纪现实主义小说的高潮做了准备,起到了承上启下的重要作用。
首先要说的是这个版本的翻译很烂,几乎是强忍着读完全文。生硬的翻译体和平实的文字减少了阅读的乐趣,如果翻译得稍好一些,我想会给它四星。通过对译文的想像,相信奥斯丁小姐的文笔非常华丽,虽然我没什么直接阅读英文原著的经验。从今天开始我将抵制南海出版公司。 从爱情...
评分忽然发现还漏了本奥斯汀的书,于是就拿来开始看。 不知道是不是翻译水平的问题,我最后看的极其火大。 奥斯汀的小说,不是悬疑,不是侦探,不是惊悚, 我简直怀疑这部小说是伪作,或者是拼凑出来的,或者是后人续作的。 或者就是翻译有问题,要知道,中文和英文的语感,确...

评分 评分以前觉得精装书正统严肃厚重僵硬。而这本书的装帧舒服,内容怡人,居然由此喜欢精装书了。虽然连着读了几天才读完,但过足了捧着精装书的精致阅读的感觉,甚至觉得那几天的生活都被蕾丝化了。
