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.
伊迪絲·華頓(Edith Wharton, 1862-1937)是紐約一個名門望族瓊斯傢的女兒。和她的朋友亨利·詹姆斯一樣,她在傢中接受瞭良好的教育,後來多次齣國旅行。1885年她和一個比她大十三歲的有錢的波士頓人愛德華·華頓結瞭婚。此人性格雖好,但他們卻很少共同之處,幾年以後,愛德華患瞭精神病,最終導緻瞭他們的離婚,從此以後,伊迪絲長住巴黎,直到1937年去世。
伊迪絲·華頓起初是為瞭排遣上流社會傢庭生活的苦悶而開始寫作的。她從1880年開始發錶小說,1889年第一部短篇小說集問世,獲得瞭意外的成功。1905年長篇小說《快樂之傢》齣版,使她成瞭20世紀前二十年最受歡迎的美國作傢。1920年齣版的《純真年代》為她獲得瞭普利策奬。她一共寫瞭十九部中長篇小說,齣版過十一本短篇小說集,還有大量的非小說作品。

評分讀到最後一章一半被戳點狂哭不止。醞釀一下情緒寫個書評。
評分The most memorable story I've ever read.
評分Elegant but old-fashioned, I mean the idea. Really pity for those who don't dare to pursuit their true love and are sunk with the "social code".
評分"But she was trained to conceal imaginary wounds under a Spartan smile." 純真麵具下的心機。
这本《纯真年代》是在一声声感叹中阅读完的。相对于狄更斯、莫泊桑、歌德、哈代这些伟大男性作家创作的作品而言,我更喜欢诸如伊迪丝华顿这样的女作家笔下产生的作品,也许是出于我刚刚学会欣赏小说的时候(之前也读过几本,但却根本称不上是欣赏)所研读的几部作品都是出自英...
評分‘I want somehow 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 life to each other, and nothing else will matter.’ ‘Oh, my dear - whe...
評分 評分重要的时刻总是那么软弱 ——重看《纯真年代》 梁永安 “单身节”前夜,在首尔,把马丁•斯科塞斯导演的《纯真年代》(The Age of Innocence)又看了一遍。本来只打算重新看看其中几个片段,一开了头却停不下来,很凝重地看完了。这个电影是根据伊迪丝•华顿的同名小说改...
