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.

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...
