Everyone knows that Dicken's "Bleak House" is a literary classic. But how many know it was the first detective novel too? Introducing "Crime Classics", from Atlantic Books.Jarndyce versus Jarndyce - a dispute over a vast fortune left by an intestate miser - has occupied the Court of Chancery for years. When, one day, Lady Dedlock faints upon recognizing the handwriting in one of the documents pertaining to the case, her sinister lawyer, Tulkinghorn, immediately senses a hidden secret - and an opportunity for blackmail...But he is playing a dangerous game, and he is found dead: the victim of murder most horrid. It is down to Detective Inspector Bucket - the first ever detective in a British novel - to solve the labyrinthine mystery.From the peaceful countryside aristocracy to the starving of the dank London streets; from the legal profession and its hangers-on, to its numerous poor litigants; from philanthropist Jarndyce to orphan Esther and parasitic Skimpole, "Bleak House" reveals the vast complex of relationships in multi-layered Victorian society. It is classic crime fiction at its most enduring and well-loved best.

評分其實一開始看就被這種敘事風格語言特色所吸引瞭,當然這也可能是個人偏好,但實際上在世界文學地圖上巡遊一圈之後,再次拾起這本書,看到古怪的老太婆,瘋瘋顛顛的老頭子(早晨的奇遇),以及維多利亞式的建築設置,迷霧籠罩的倫敦,會有特殊的親切感。 看卡夫卡...
評分值得有時間慢慢看的一本書,幾條綫索同時展開,大氣磅礴。 幾個角色個性鮮明,但主角設定太過於完美,特彆是Miss Summerson, Guardian, 及醫生,其溫婉和善近乎神明,處處為彆人著想,世間難尋。 大兵George愛恨鮮明,直來直去,是個惹人愛的塊頭傢夥。 文具店老闆處處謹小慎微...
