The Portrait of a Lady pdf epub mobi txt 电子书 下载 2025
Henry James was born in New York in 1843 and was educated in Europe and America. He left Harvard Law School in 1863, after a year's attendance, to concentrate on writing, and from 1869 he began to make prolonged visits to Europe, eventually settling in England in 1876. His literary output was prodigious and of the highest quality: more than ten outstanding novels, including The Portrait of a Lady and The American; countless novellas and short stories; as well as innumerable essays, letters, and other pieces of critical prose. Known by contemporary fellow novelists as 'the Master', James died in Kensington, London, in 1916.
Anita Brookner is the author of twenty novels, including Falling Slowly, Undue Influence, and Hotel du Lac, which won the Booker Prize. She lives in London.

One of the great heroines of American literature, Isabel Archer, journeys to Europe in order to, as Henry James writes in his 1908 Preface, “affront her destiny.” James began The Portrait of a Lady without a plot or subject, only the slim but provocative notion of a young woman taking control of her fate. The result is a richly imagined study of an American heiress who turns away her suitors in an effort to first establish—and then protect—her independence. But Isabel’s pursuit of spiritual freedom collapses when she meets the captivating Gilbert Osmond. “James’s formidable powers of observation, his stance as a kind of bachelor recorder of human doings in which he is not involved,” writes Hortense Calisher, “make him a first-class documentarian, joining him to that great body of storytellers who amass what formal history cannot.”

评分孔子说：一个人的好坏可以从周围的人判断得知。但不是所以人都说好和坏。而是周围的好人都喜欢，周围的坏人都讨厌。这种人才是好人。当然坏人就正好相反。而伊莎贝尔就遇上了这样的人，即梅尔夫人和吉尔伯特·奥斯蒙德。她周围较亲近的人都不“喜欢”他们，而他们却受到其他人...
评分看完了书，把坎皮恩的同名电影找出来重看了一遍，有趣的是导演在处理女主角和奥斯蒙德的恋情上突出了性的吸引，后者将女儿抱在腿上，手指抚摸女儿的手背给了女主很大的刺激，这是个很好玩的视角，因为原著给我的感觉完全是反的，不远万里随君行的美国追求者反而最有男子气概，...
