Believing that "3 or 4 families in a country village is the very thing to work on," she created a brilliant tragicomedy of flirtation and folly. Romantic walks through lush Devonshire and genteel dinner parties at a stately manor draw two pretty sisters into the schemes and manipulations of landed gentry determined to marry wisely and well. Neither sense nor sensibility can guarantee happiness for either—as romantic Marianne falls prey to a dangerous rascal, and reasonable Elinor loses her heart to a gentleman already engaged. Wonderfully entertaining yet subtle and probing in its characterizations, Sense and Sensibility richly displays the supreme artistry of a great English novelist. 作者簡介 About the Author Jane Austen was born on December 16, 1775 at Steventon near Basingstoke, the seventh child of the rector of the parish. She lived with her family at Steventon until they moved to Bath when her father retired in 1801. After his death in 1805, she moved around with her mother; in 1809, they settled in Chawton, near Alton, Hampshire. Here she remained, except for a few visits to London, until in May 1817 she moved to Winchester to be near her doctor. There she died on July 18, 1817. As a girl Jane Austen wrote stories, including burlesques of popular romances. Her works were only published after much revision, four novels being published in her lifetime. These are Sense and Sensibility (1811), Pride and Prejudice (1813), Mansfield Park (1814) and Emma (1816). Two other novels, Northanger Abbey and Persuasion, were published posthumously in 1818 with a biographical notice by her brother, Henry Austen, the first formal announcement of her authorship. Persuasion was written in a race against failing health in 1815-16. She also left two earlier compositions, a short epistolary novel, Lady Susan, and an unfinished novel, The Watsons. At the time of her death, she was working on a new novel, Sanditon, a fragmentary draft of which survives. 簡·奧斯汀,是英國女性小說家,她的作品主要關注鄉紳家庭女性的婚姻和生活,以女性特有的細致入微的觀察力和活潑風趣的文字真實地描繪了她周圍世界的小天地。
初读之下,我立刻被那种细腻入微的情感描摹所吸引。作者的笔触如同最灵巧的画笔,将人物内心世界的波澜壮阔描绘得淋漓尽致。那种在理智与情感之间挣扎的矛盾感,那种对社会规范的无奈与反抗,都通过角色的言行举止自然而然地流淌出来。我甚至能想象出那些场景,仿佛置身于那个时代,与书中人物一同经历他们的欢笑与泪水。尤其是关于人际交往中那些微妙的心理活动,作者捕捉得极其精准,让人在阅读时不断产生“原来如此”的恍然大悟。这种深刻的洞察力,使得即便是跨越了几个世纪,其探讨的人性主题依然具有强大的穿透力和共鸣感。
评分这本书的语言风格充满了那个时代特有的优雅和韵味,措辞考究,句式结构也相对复杂,但绝不晦涩难懂。它要求读者放慢速度,细细品味每一个词语所蕴含的深意和潜在的讽刺意味。这种略带古典气息的叙述方式,为整个故事增添了一种独特的质感,仿佛是通过一块古老的琥珀在观察往事。它不像现代白话文那样直白坦率,而是更侧重于含蓄的表达和潜台词的构建,需要读者投入更多的精力和想象力去解码。对于那些习惯了快餐式阅读的人来说,可能需要一点时间适应,但一旦进入状态,那种沉浸式的体验是其他书籍难以比拟的。
评分这本书的装帧设计简直是艺术品。硬壳封面散发着一种低调而典雅的气质,纸张的触感非常棒,拿在手里沉甸甸的,让人感觉物有所值。内页的排版也十分考究,字号大小适中,行距舒适,即便是长时间阅读也不会感到眼睛疲劳。我特别喜欢那种微微泛黄的纸张,它仿佛自带一种历史的厚重感,让人在翻阅时能真切地感受到经典文学的魅力。每一页的边缘处理得非常精细,装订也很牢固,完全不用担心会散页。对于一个热爱实体书的读者来说,这样的品质绝对是加分项,它不仅仅是一本书,更像是一件值得收藏的工艺品。印刷质量无可挑剔,墨迹清晰,没有出现任何模糊或错位的现象,看得出出版社在细节上是下足了功夫的。
评分抛开情节和文笔不谈,这本书对时代背景的还原度极高,让人仿佛打开了一扇通往历史的窗户。通过对家庭生活细节、社交礼仪规范乃至财产继承制度的细致描绘,我们得以一窥那个特定社会阶层的运作逻辑和他们所受到的无形束缚。书中角色们所面临的困境,很大程度上是时代结构性问题投射到个体命运上的结果。这使得阅读过程不仅仅是享受一个浪漫故事,更是一次富有教育意义的文化学习,它引发了我对历史和社会变迁的更多思考,明白了我们今天所拥有的自由和选择,是经历了多少代人的努力才得来的。
评分故事情节的推进节奏掌握得恰到如处,张弛有度,绝不拖沓,也绝不仓促。在关键的转折点,作者总能巧妙地埋下伏笔,让读者在不经意间感受到酝酿中的风暴,直到高潮来临时,那种情感的爆发显得既意外又合乎情理。不同于一些当代小说那种刻意制造的戏剧性冲突,这里的冲突更多地来源于人物性格的固有缺陷与外部环境的压迫之间的碰撞,显得更为真实和令人信服。每读完一个章节,我都有种意犹未尽的感觉,迫不及待地想知道接下来的发展,这种阅读的“黏性”是衡量一本好书的重要标准,而这本书无疑做到了。
