Somewhere in this book, Wharton observes that clever liars always come up with good stories to back up their fabrications, but that really clever liars don't bother to explain anything at all. This is the kind of insight that makes The Age of Innocence so indispensable. Wharton's story of the upper classes of Old New York, and Newland Archer's impossible love for the disgraced Countess Olenska, is a perfectly wrought book about an era when upper-class culture in this country was still a mixture of American and European extracts, and when "society" had rules as rigid as any in history.

内容简介

Edith Wharton's masterpiece brings to life the grandeur and hypocrisy of a gilded age. Set among the very rich in 1870s New York, it tells the story of Newland Archer, a young lawyer engaged to marry virginal socialite May Welland, when he meets her cousin, Countess Ellen Olenska, a woman unbound by convention and surrounded by scandal. As all three are drawn into a love triangle filled with sensuality, subtlety, and betrayal, Archer faces a harrowing choice between happiness and the social code that has ruled his life. The resulting tale of thwarted love is filled with irony and surprise, struggle and acceptance. Recipient of the first Pulitzer Prize for fiction ever awarded to a woman, this great novel paints a timeless portrait of "society" still unmatched in American literature—an arbitrary, capricious social elite that professes inviolable standards but readily abandons them for greed and desire.

作者简介

The upper stratum of New York society into which Edith Wharton was born in 1862 provided her with an abundance of material as a novelist but did not encourage her growth as an artist. Educated by tutors and governesses, she was raised for only one career: marriage. But her marriage, in 1885, to Edward Wharton was an emotional disappointment, if not a disaster. She suffered the first of a series of nervous breakdowns in 1894. In spite of the strain of her marriage, or perhaps because of it, she began to write fiction and published her first story in 1889.

Her first published book was a guide to interior decorating, but this was followed by several novels and story collections. They were written while the Whartons lived in Newport and New York, traveled in Europe, and built their grand home, The Mount, in Lenox, Massachusetts. In Europe, she met Henry James, who became her good friend, traveling companion, and the sternest but most careful critic of her fiction. The House of Mirth (1905) was both a resounding critical success and a bestseller, as was Ethan Frome (1911). In 1913 the Whartons were divorced, and Edith took up permanent residence in France. Her subject, however, remained America, especially the moneyed New York of her youth. Her great satiric novel, The Custom of the Country was published in 1913 and The Age of Innocence won her the Pulitzer Prize in 1921.

In her later years, she enjoyed the admiration of a new generation of writers, including Sinclair Lewis and F. Scott Fitzgerald. In all, she wrote some thirty books, including an autobiography. A Backwards Glance (1934). She died at her villa near Paris in 1937.,,

最近买了好多书，基本首选自营，速度快。不过书这一块，自营确实不如第三方:明明是脏页，损页的，仍然照样发货（以自营配送，很难配送时损坏弄脏），拣货员视而不见？库存仅剩一本时，基本剩这本肯定是残次品。因为书的质量，几次退换货！希望加强监管！

　　 　　開始的時候，阿切尔對梅還怀著真摰的感情，如果沒有后來的和對埃倫的感情相比較，也許，也可以稱之為愛情。但倆人在興趣愛好上距離相差十萬八千里，小說一開始欣賞歌劇《浮士德》，阿切尔看著梅，心想：“她連一點兒也看不懂啊”。那时候，阿切尔還想通過自己的努力，可以提升梅在這方面的修養，“我們將在一起讀《浮士德》，……在意大利的湖畔……”、“在他的指導下刚刚萌發的對書籍與思想的興趣。（她已經進步到能與他一起嘲笑《國王牧歌》，但尚不能感受《尤利西斯》與《食忘忧果者》的美妙。）”到書的后部，阿切尔是如此對待梅的：“……阿切尔……取下一卷米勒歇的書。過去，梅一見他拿起詩集就讓他大聲朗讀，自她表現出這一愛好之后，他晚上便開始讀历史書了。不是他不喜歡自己的噪音，而是因為他老是能預見到她發表的評論。……其結果使他對所評作品的欣賞遭到破坏。”這是我讀到的非常发噱的一段話。所謂朽木不可雕也，爛泥扶不上壁。
