Everyone knows that Dicken's "Bleak House" is a literary classic. But how many know it was the first detective novel too? Introducing "Crime Classics", from Atlantic Books.Jarndyce versus Jarndyce - a dispute over a vast fortune left by an intestate miser - has occupied the Court of Chancery for years. When, one day, Lady Dedlock faints upon recognizing the handwriting in one of the documents pertaining to the case, her sinister lawyer, Tulkinghorn, immediately senses a hidden secret - and an opportunity for blackmail...But he is playing a dangerous game, and he is found dead: the victim of murder most horrid. It is down to Detective Inspector Bucket - the first ever detective in a British novel - to solve the labyrinthine mystery.From the peaceful countryside aristocracy to the starving of the dank London streets; from the legal profession and its hangers-on, to its numerous poor litigants; from philanthropist Jarndyce to orphan Esther and parasitic Skimpole, "Bleak House" reveals the vast complex of relationships in multi-layered Victorian society. It is classic crime fiction at its most enduring and well-loved best.
其實一開始看就被這種敘事風格語言特色所吸引了,當然這也可能是個人偏好,但實際上在世界文學地圖上巡遊一圈之後,再次拾起這本書,看到古怪的老太婆,瘋瘋顛顛的老頭子(早晨的奇遇),以及維多利亞式的建築設置,迷霧籠罩的倫敦,會有特殊的親切感。 看卡夫卡...
評分本书作者批判了腐朽的资本主义及其法制制度,揭露了这种罪恶制度对人性的摧残。 (果然是不会写这种体) 实际上不怪我用这种腔调,除了这些我实在看不出本书还有什么意义。 首先,本书女主是圣母兼万人迷。要是现在的网文女主有其中一个属性,就够被人骂个狗血淋头了,更何况...
評分古话云“儒以文乱法,侠以武犯禁”,而统治者又以权力作恶,那么对于平民百姓来说,怎么样才能保证自己的人身财产安全呢?于是人们想到了法律,这也是西方文明的核心之一。所以律师法官一职成为最受人尊重并且是地位高尚的职业。西方舆论也大力宣扬“法律把权力关进笼子”,可...
評分值得有时间慢慢看的一本书,几条线索同时展开,大气磅礴。 几个角色个性鲜明,但主角设定太过于完美,特别是Miss Summerson, Guardian, 及医生,其温婉和善近乎神明,处处为别人着想,世间难寻。 大兵George爱恨鲜明,直来直去,是个惹人爱的块头家伙。 文具店老板处处谨小慎微...
評分这书能够再版,读者有福了。狄更斯如果选一部代表作,其他好多部在今天都有所褪色,唯独这部至今仍然光芒万丈,这部才担当得起代表作。 以下是多年前写的: 这等巅峰之作,何以无人问津?正如《卡拉马佐夫兄弟》是陀思妥耶夫斯基的巅峰之作,《荒凉山庄》是狄更斯的巅峰之作。...
