'One ought to choose something very deliberately, and be faithful to that.' Isabel Archer is a young, intelligent, and spirited American girl, determined to relish her first experience of Europe. She rejects two eligible suitors in her fervent commitment to liberty and independence, declaring that she will never marry. Thanks to the generosity of her devoted cousin Ralph, she is free to make her own choice about her destiny. Yet in the intoxicating worlds of Paris, Florence, and Rome, her fond illusions of self-reliance are twisted by the machinations of her friends and apparent allies. What had seemed to be a vista of infinite promise steadily closes around her and becomes instead a 'house of suffocation'. Considered by many as one of the finest novels in the English language, this is Henry James's most poised achievement, written at the height of his fame in 1881. It is at once a dramatic Victorian tale of betrayal and a wholly modern psychological study of a woman caught in a web of relations she only comes to understand too late. This edition reproduces the revised New York Edition, with James's own Preface.

評分看完了书,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,...
評分在我看来书名《一位女士的画像》就是对这本书最好的定位,就像一张正经绘制的风景油画,写实、饱满、色彩丰富、面面俱到;细节往往值得人欣赏和品味,鸟瞰全局的时候反而容易迷乱。 细致描写——无论是对于七上八下的人物内心活动还是对于花样繁多的沙龙式场景——是《画像》...
評分I suddenly found myself sobbing like a baby after reading this novel, as if I myself had confronted that tragic destiny of Isabel. It’s said that a novel is in its broadest sense a personal, a direct impression of life. When we read between the lines, we a...
