The witty and sharply satirical novels of Jane Austen have an influence that shows no sign of waning, with continual adaptations and echoes in contemporary culture, and an ever-enthousiastic audience.
Published in 1814,this nuanced examination of the social hierarchy of Jane Austen’s day contains more than enough wit, charm, and human drama to enchant readers of any era Born into a poor family, Fanny Price is raised amid the daunting splendor of Mansfield Park by her rich uncle, Sir Thomas Bertram. Treated as an inferior by most of the family, Fanny forms a close attachment to her cousin Edmund, the only person to show her kindness. With the departure of her uncle to the West Indies and the arrival from London of the fashionable Henry and Mary Crawford, flirtation and romantic intrigue abound. As Fanny becomes increasingly uncomfortable with the conduct of her companions, she finds herself isolated and forced to face the conflict between her sense of integrity and social expectation. This edition includes pictures and an extensive section about the author's life and works.

I decided to close read/reread Jane Austen's novels, started from Pride and Prejudice and now finished Mansfield Park. Pride and Prejudice is more witty and funny (and more popular). But Mansfield Park gets its credit onmoral discipline, reflecting change i...
評分首先要說的是這個版本的翻譯很爛,幾乎是強忍著讀完全文。生硬的翻譯體和平實的文字減少瞭閱讀的樂趣,如果翻譯得稍好一些,我想會給它四星。通過對譯文的想像,相信奧斯丁小姐的文筆非常華麗,雖然我沒什麼直接閱讀英文原著的經驗。從今天開始我將抵製南海齣版公司。 從愛情...
評分其實讀原著已是很早以前的事瞭,記得讀的時候很有些不耐煩,畢竟灰姑娘式的女主人公範妮並不是一個很討人喜歡的姑娘:縴弱易感,靦腆膽怯,罕言寡語,她不像伊麗莎白那樣活潑風趣,不像愛瑪那樣生機勃勃,不像安妮那樣一往情深,甚至不像凱瑟琳那樣淳樸嬌憨。誠然,她識大體,...
評分《愛者誓言》(Lover's Vow)藍本是一齣德文戲,叫做'Das Kind der Liebe' (“戀愛中的孩子”(The Love Child)或“庶子”(The Natural Child)。在《曼斯菲爾德莊園》捲一中後,一乾人煽風點火,排練預演,要把寜謐莊園變成喧俗戲園,第二捲隨著托馬斯爵士返傢,《愛者誓言》...
評分實話實說,這本書的閱讀過程無趣的要命,早在把它列為“在讀”狀態時的短評中,我就不無詫異風格為何與《pride and prejudice》&《sense and sensibility》如此迥異?及至讀完都說不齣到底什麼感覺,每個人物都是臉譜式的,本就套路化的英國鄉村愛情就更加平平無奇,女主角Fann...
