The Portrait of a Lady is the most stunning achievement of Henry James's early period--in the 1860s and '70s when he was transforming himself from a talented young American into a resident of Europe, a citizen of the world, and one of the greatest novelists of modern times. A kind of delight at the success of this transformation informs every page of this masterpiece. Isabel Archer, a beautiful, intelligent, and headstrong American girl newly endowed with wealth and embarked in Europe on a treacherous journey to self-knowledge, is delineated with a magnificence that is at once casual and tense with force and insight. The characters with whom she is entangled--the good man and the evil one, between whom she wavers, and the mysterious witchlike woman with whom she must do battle--are each rendered with a virtuosity that suggests dazzling imaginative powers. And the scene painting--in England and Italy--provides a continuous visual pleasure while always remaining crucial to the larger drama.
在我看來書名《一位女士的畫像》就是對這本書最好的定位,就像一張正經繪製的風景油畫,寫實、飽滿、色彩豐富、麵麵俱到;細節往往值得人欣賞和品味,鳥瞰全局的時候反而容易迷亂。 細緻描寫——無論是對於七上八下的人物內心活動還是對於花樣繁多的沙龍式場景——是《畫像》...
評分What Contributes to Isabel's Tragedy? For a lady who bestowed upon dazzling beauty by god, and inherited a handsome amount of money from her uncle, wonderful life, like a volume of painting , was supposed to unfold itself before her. But, for Isabel, it's...
評分孔子說:一個人的好壞可以從周圍的人判斷得知。但不是所以人都說好和壞。而是周圍的好人都喜歡,周圍的壞人都討厭。這種人纔是好人。當然壞人就正好相反。而伊莎貝爾就遇上瞭這樣的人,即梅爾夫人和吉爾伯特·奧斯濛德。她周圍較親近的人都不“喜歡”他們,而他們卻受到其他人...
評分《一位女士的畫像》這本書並不在我的閱讀計劃中。亨利·詹姆斯雖然鼎鼎大名,但我隻是知道他寫過《小說的藝術》。(另一個例子是E·M·福斯特,同樣鼎鼎大名,寫過《小說麵麵觀》。) 讀瞭序言之後,雖然不覺得怎麼樣,但還是決定把它讀完。厚達700頁的書,卻清新流暢,可以一...
評分看完瞭書,把坎皮恩的同名電影找齣來重看瞭一遍,有趣的是導演在處理女主角和奧斯濛德的戀情上突齣瞭性的吸引,後者將女兒抱在腿上,手指撫摸女兒的手背給瞭女主很大的刺激,這是個很好玩的視角,因為原著給我的感覺完全是反的,不遠萬裏隨君行的美國追求者反而最有男子氣概,...
