First published in 1905, "The House of Mirth" shocked the New York society it so deftly chronicles, portraying the moral, social, and economic restraints on a woman who dared to claim the privileges of marriage without assuming the responsibilities. Lily Bart, beautiful, witty, and sophisticated, is accepted by "old money" and courted by the growing tribe of nouveaux riches. But as she nears 30, her foothold becomes precarious; a poor girl with expensive tastes, she needs a husband to preserve her social standing and to maintain her life in the luxury she has come to expect. While many have sought her, something--fastidiousness or integrity--prevents her from making a "suitable" match.

起初讀著準備給五星的,女作傢細緻的觀察和描寫,洞徹人的心扉等等,挺有意思。但是這本不厚的書前後斷斷續續讀瞭兩個月,越到後來越是讀不下去。整本書用兩句話就可以概括瞭。女主拼搏在萬惡卻華麗的上流社會,同時又被嚮往真愛和正義感的另一個自己絆住腳跟,最終失敗地、飲...
評分Lily Bart, a beautiful and unmarried woman, 29-year-old, living in the leisure-class of New York, is eager to marry. Unfortunately, she misses several chances of attaining her goal, some of which have been broken by her own faults, others by other people’s...
評分心理描寫很細緻,很多處也都很有女權主義的雛形。隻是當下社會已經給瞭女性更多的的選擇,所以沒有太多的代入感。如今女人不再是當客廳的太太一條路瞭,就算是上流社會的公主也是要去投行訓練一下,有“正經工作”的。在此真摯地謝謝書中扮演背景的女工,是他們的存在和努力最...
評分“智者的心,住在哀傷之傢;愚者的心,住在歡樂之傢”。 莉莉·芭特燦爛短暫如流星的一生命運,正是在這兩級間的掙紮。一捲跌宕起伏的感情史,一幅衣香鬢影的紐約風情畫,一個無法泯滅最終良心的睏頓靈魂,一個上流階層版本的《嘉利妹妹》,又一齣美國悲劇。 本書是伊迪絲·華...
評分怎麼說呢,小姐的身子丫鬟的命。 看完book 1 如果女主生長在現在,肯定境遇會好很多。就像一個漂亮清脆叫聲的小鳥,被寒冷凍死瞭。令人惋惜。 可能女主唯一可以稱為缺點的就是太貪心,想要財富又想要脫離財富的豁達人格。在那個時代兩者本身是矛盾的。財富的代錶rosedale嚮她伸...
