Here are some of the remarkable features of Barnes & Noble Classics :

All editions are beautifully designed and are printed to superior specifications; some include illustrations of historical interest. Barnes & Noble Classics pulls together a constellation of influencesbiographical, historical, and literaryto enrich each reader's understanding of these enduring works. Edith Wharton ’s dark view of society, the somber economics of marriage, and the powerlessness of the unwedded woman in the 1870s emerge dramatically in the tragic novel The House of Mirth . Faced with an array of wealthy suitors, New York socialite Lily Bart falls in love with lawyer Lawrence Selden, whose lack of money spoils their chances for happiness together. Dubious business deals and accusations of liaisons with a married man diminish Lily’s social status, and as she makes one bad choice after another, she learns how venal and brutally unforgiving the upper crust of New York can be.

one of America’s finest novels of manners, The House of Mirth is a beautifully written and ultimately tragic account of the human capacity for cruelty.

她生活的环境好象眼下的娱乐圈，她努力想保持纯洁清白，可又想轻易获得财富，最终还是被卷进恶毒的流言。 《书摘》上的小说简介写得真是好，好到我在大学图书馆里找到这本破旧的小说，翻阅时竟然觉得跟简介写得一模一样（也许本末倒置？）。 我记得她在名画表演上举起双臂，顿...  

怎么说呢，小姐的身子丫鬟的命。 看完book 1 如果女主生长在现在，肯定境遇会好很多。就像一个漂亮清脆叫声的小鸟,被寒冷冻死了。令人惋惜。 可能女主唯一可以称为缺点的就是太贪心，想要财富又想要脱离财富的豁达人格。在那个时代两者本身是矛盾的。财富的代表rosedale向她伸...

读的是牛津版，本来以为会是“剩女的逆袭”，居然是大悲剧。擦，Edith Wharton 绝逼一后妈。Lily（活着的时候）和Selden 最后一次见面看的我眼泪哗哗的。（果然是泪点低吗？）像Selden这么没用和高姿态的男主角快点去死吧！
