An immensely popular bestseller upon its publication in 1905, The House of Mirth was Edith Wharton’s first great novel. Set among the elegant brownstones of New York City and opulent country houses like gracious Bellomont on the Hudson, the novel creates a satiric portrayal of what Wharton herself called “a society of irresponsible pleasure-seekers” with a precision comparable to that of Proust. And her brilliant and complex characterization of the doomed Lily Bart, whose stunning beauty and dependence on marriage for economic survival reduce her to a decorative object, becomes an incisive commentary on the nature and status of women in that society. From her tragic attraction to bachelor lawyer Lawrence Selden to her desperate relationship with social-climbing Rosedale, Lily is all too much a product of the world indicated by the title, a phrase taken from Ecclesiastes: “The heart of fools is in the house of mirth.” For it is Lily’s very specialness that threatens the elegance and fulfillment she seeks in life. Along with the author’s other masterpiece, The Age of Innocence , this novel claims a place among the finest American novels of manners.

评分心理描写很细致，很多处也都很有女权主义的雏形。只是当下社会已经给了女性更多的的选择，所以没有太多的代入感。如今女人不再是当客厅的太太一条路了，就算是上流社会的公主也是要去投行训练一下，有“正经工作”的。在此真挚地谢谢书中扮演背景的女工，是他们的存在和努力最...
评分《欢乐之家》是伊迪丝华顿的代表作之一，华顿生于1862年，卒于1937年，而她的主要作品都产生于20世纪，她一生中大部分的时光都在欧洲度过，但她作品中的大部分人物都是土生土长的美国人，有别于亨利詹姆斯笔下的旅欧美国人，华顿早年受不幸婚姻的羁绊，抑郁烦闷，但她的文学实...
