HarperCollins is proud to present its new range of best-loved, essential classics. 'I want -- I want somehow to get away with you into a world where words like that -- categories like that -- won't exist. Where we shall be simply two human beings who love each other, who are the whole of life to each other; and nothing else on earth will matter.' Newland Archer, a successful and charming young lawyer conducts himself by the rules and standards of the polite, upper class New York society that he resides in. Happily engaged to the pretty and conventional May Welland, his attachment guarantees his place in this rigid world of the elite. However, the arrival of May's cousin, the exotic and beautiful European Countess Olenska throws Newland's life upside down. A divorcee, Olenska is ostracised by those around her, yet Newland is fiercely drawn to her wit, determination and willingness to flout convention. With the Countess, Newland is freed from the limitations that surround him and truly begins to 'feel' for the first time. Wharton's subtle expose of the manners and etiquette of 1870s New York society is both comedic, subtle, satirical and cynical in style and paints an evocative picture of a man torn between his passion and his obligation.
After all, the innocent May is never innocent, nor is the age of innocence. 这次合上书时不仅有终于读完了的舒畅感,还勾起了两三年前美国文学课的全部回忆????
评分Second book killed it for me. I appreciate the building up of the sexual tension in the first book, yet the second one drags egregiously. The resolution does not justify itself. What bathos. The time lapse felt soulless and vapid. Anticlimactic as hell

评分语言精炼但用词复杂,所以看起来还是挺费时的。看完第一部,情绪渲染很到位啊。尤其最后的表白和反转。从男主的角度看傻白甜和傻白甜一家各种不屑和鄙视,有没有可能是他们更偏向理智而非情感。打破规矩的人是否自私?而说墨守成规没有人性,是不是借口?佩服may的自持力,虽然以男主视角写作,理解他的心理活动,但仍然免不得觉得他渣。不过最后一章真的看哭了,人生中那些得不到的东西,妥协,理解,自我鄙视与安慰,看了之后很难过
