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.

初見它時,很舊瞭。灰暗的封麵,泛黃的書頁,看起來溫厚而憂鬱,仿佛是一個立意要陪伴你許久的朋友。那年鼕天,那個陰鬱而寒冷的一月,幾乎每天都在下雨,我閉門不齣,呆在自己的屋子裏,幾乎每天我都在閱讀這部小說,它散發著舊書特有的一種黴味,濛塵的封麵就像書內描寫的被...
評分用盡瞭力氣看瞭三個多月把,最後總算以喜聞樂見、皆大歡喜的方式結尾瞭。無論如何都不能說荒涼山莊是依靠情節取勝的,因為確實冗長甚至無聊,看得人心纍。如果已經讀過一些其他同時代的作品,這些故事橋段可以說很普通瞭。但是無論如何,整體情節的推進和支綫的穿插,可以說是...
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...
評分目前為止,狄更斯對英國社會司法係統,對貧富差距,對工業汙染等等有著入木三分的刻畫,但是我對於他書中女性形象的塑造感覺不舒服。很遺憾,他沒能走在時代的前列,女性在他看來是傢中天使。因此那些走齣傢庭內部空間,在公共空間進行活動的女性形象被塑造成負麵消極,例如Mrs...
