内容简介

Little Women is one of the best loved books of all time. Lovely Meg, talented Jo, frail Beth, spoiled Amy: these are hard lessons of poverty and of growing up in New England during the Civil War. Through their dreams, plays, pranks, letters, illnesses, and courtships, women of all ages have become a part of this remarkable family and have felt the deep sadness when Meg leaves the circle of sisters to be married at the end of Part I. Part II, chronicles Meg's joys and mishaps as a young wife and mother, Jo's struggle to become a writer, Beth's tragedy, and Amy's artistic pursuits and unexpected romance. Based on Louise May Alcott's childhood, this lively portrait of nineteenth-century family life possesses a lasting vitality that has endeared it to generations of readers.

作者简介

Louisa May Alcott, born in 1832, was the second child of Bronson Alcott of Concord, Massachusetts, a self-taught philosopher, school reformer, and utopian who was much too immersed in the world of ideas to ever succeed in supporting his family. That task fell to his wife and later to his enterprising daughter Louisa May. While her father lectured, wrote, and conversed with such famous friends as Emerson, Hawthorne, and Thoreau, Louisa taught school, worked as a seamstress and nurse, took in laundry, and even hired herself out as a domestic servant at age nineteen. The small sums she earned often kept the family from complete destitution, but it was through her writing that she finally brought them financial independence. "I will make a battering-ram of my head," she wrote in her journal, "and make a way through this rough-and-tumble world."

An enthusiastic participant in amateur theatricals since age ten, she wrote her first melodrama at age fifteen and began publishing poems and sketches at twenty-one. Her brief service as a Civil War nurse resulted in Hospital Sketches (1863), but she earned more from the lurid thrillers she began writing in 1861 under the pseudonym of A.M. Barnard. These tales, with titles like "Pauline's Passion and Punishment," featured strong-willed and flamboyant heroines but were not identified as Alcott's work until the 1940s.

Fame and success came unexpectedly in 1868. When a publisher suggested she write a "girl's book," she drew on her memories of her childhood and wrote Little Women, depicting herself as Jo March, while her sisters Anna, Abby May, and Elizabeth became Meg, Amy, and Beth. She re-created the high spirits of the Alcott girls and took many incidents from life but made the March family financially comfortable as the Alcotts never had been. Little Women, to its author's surprise, struck a cord an America's largely female reading public and became a huge success. Louisa was prevailed upon to continue the story, which she did in Little Men (1871) and Jo's Boys (1886.) In 1873 she published Work: A Story of Experience, an autobiography in fictional disguise with an all too appropriate title.

Now a famous writer, she continued to turn out novels and stories and to work for the women's suffrage and temperance movements, as her father had worked for the abolitionists. Bronson Alcott and Louisa May Alcott both died in Boston in the same month, March of 1888.

Playing Pilgrims

"Christmas won't be Christmas without any presents,"grumbled Jo, lying on the rug.

"It's so dreadful to be poor!"sighed Meg, looking down at her old dress.

"I don't think it's fair for some girls to have lots of pretty things, and other girls nothing at all," added little Amy, with an injured sniff.

"We've got father and mother, and each other, anyhow,"said Beth, contentedly, from her corner.

The four young faces on which the firelight shone brightened at the cheerful words, but darkened again as Jo said sadly?

"We haven't got father, and shall not have him for a long time." She didn't say "perhaps never,"but each silently added it, thinking of father far away, where the fighting was.

Nobody spoke for a minute; then Meg said in an altered tone, "You know the reason mother proposed not having any presents this Christmas, was because it's going to be a hard winter for every one; and she thinks we ought not to spend money for pleasure, when our men are suffering so in the army. We can't do much, but we can make our little sacrifices, and ought to do it gladly. But I am afraid I don't;"and Megshook her head, as she thought regretfully of all the pretty things she wanted.

"But I don't think the little we should spend would do any good. We've each got a dollar, and the army wouldn't be much helped by our giving that. I agree not to expect anything from mother or you, but I do want to buy Undine and Sintram for myself; I've wanted it so long,'said Jo, who was a bookworm.

"I planned to spend mine in new music,"said Beth, with a little sigh, which no one heard but the hearth-brush and kettle-holder.

"I shall get a nice box of Faber's drawing pencils; I really need them," said Amy, decidedly.

"Mother didn't say anything about our money, and she won't wish us to give up everything. Let's each buy what we want, and have a little fun; I'm sure we grub hard enough to earn it,"cried Jo, examining the heels of her
boots in a gentlemanly manner.

"I know I do, teaching those dreadful children nearly all day, when I'm longing to enjoy myself at home," began Meg, in the complaining tone again.

"You don't have half such a hard time as I do," said Jo. "How would you like to be shut up for hours with a nervous, fussy old lady, who keeps you trotting, is never satisfied, and worries you till you''e ready to fly out of the window or box her ears?"

"It's naughty to fret, but I do think washing dishes and keeping things tidy is the worst work in the world. It makes me cross; and my hands get so stiff, I can't practise good a bit." And Beth looked at her rough hands with a sigh that any one could hear that time.

"I don't believe any of you suffer as I do," cried Amy; "for you don't have to go to school with impertinent girls, who plague you if you don't know your lessons, and laugh at your dresses, and label your father if he isn't rich, and insult you when your nose isn't nice."

"If you mean libel I'd say so, and not talk about labels, as if pa was a pickle-bottle," advised Jo, laughing.

《傲慢与偏见》 作者：简·奥斯汀 出版信息： 经典文学，企鹅经典平装版 字数： 约 40 万字 --- 宏大时代背景下的爱情与阶级肖像 《傲慢与偏见》（Pride and Prejudice）是英国文学巨匠简·奥斯汀的巅峰之作，首次出版于 1813 年。这部小说以其精妙的讽刺、栩栩如生的人物塑造以及对 19 世纪初英国乡绅阶层社会习俗的深刻洞察，被公认为世界文学史上最受欢迎的浪漫小说之一。它不仅仅是一个爱情故事，更是对那个时代社会结构、财富分配、婚姻动机以及个体精神成长的复杂探讨。 故事的焦点集中在贝内特（Bennet）一家，一个居住在赫特福德郡乡间宅邸朗伯恩（Longbourn）的中产阶级家庭。贝内特先生是一位学识渊博但略带犬儒主义的绅士，而贝内特夫人则是一位典型的“望子成龙”的母亲，她的毕生目标就是确保她的五个女儿——简、伊丽莎白、玛丽、凯蒂和莉迪亚——都能通过一桩体面的婚姻，获得经济上的保障和体面的社会地位。在那个“一个有钱的单身汉若没有妻子，必定会想娶个妻子”的时代背景下，婚姻往往是女性唯一的出路。 人物群像：才情与偏见的交织 小说最引人入胜之处，在于其对两位核心人物——伊丽莎白·贝内特和菲茨威廉姆·达西先生——之间复杂关系的刻画。 伊丽莎白·贝内特：作为二女儿，伊丽莎白是奥斯汀笔下最具活力和智慧的女性形象之一。她聪明、机敏、充满活力，拥有敏锐的观察力，却也因此容易形成武断的判断。她的“偏见”（Prejudice）源于她对社会阶层的敏感和对第一印象的固执坚守。当她初次见到富有且高傲的达西先生时，他的冷漠和排他性立即激发了她的反感，并轻易接受了那些对达西先生不利的流言蜚语。 菲茨威廉姆·达西先生：达西是 پ姆伯利（Pemberley）庄园的拥有者，拥有巨额财富和崇高地位。他的“傲慢”（Pride）主要体现在他对社会等级的严格区分和对那些他认为地位低下者流露出的轻视。他英俊、正直，但在社交场合中显得格格不入，这种傲慢使他难以融入周围的环境，也为他与伊丽莎白的误解埋下了伏笔。 核心冲突：误解、审视与自我修正 小说的叙事节奏精准地围绕着这对冤家展开。他们的初次相遇充满了火花与摩擦。达西先生对伊丽莎白的欣赏，被他内心的阶级偏见所压制，导致他表现得极其粗鲁；而伊丽莎白则将他的冷漠解读为对她家境的蔑视。 情节的关键转折点出现在达西先生令人震惊的第一次求婚。这次求婚充满了傲慢的自我肯定，他强调了伊丽莎白家庭的低微和自己对她的“屈尊迁就”，这彻底激怒了伊丽莎白，使她拒绝了他，并指责他破坏了她姐姐简的幸福，以及对待年轻军官威克姆的卑劣行径。 达西先生随后写给伊丽莎白的信，构成了小说的核心部分。这封信不仅澄清了他针对简和宾利先生的干预（出于对简感情真挚程度的怀疑），也揭露了威克姆的真实品性——一个狡猾的骗子。这封信迫使伊丽莎白开始痛苦的自我审视。她意识到，正是她的“偏见”使她对达西先生的正直视而不见，却对威克姆的甜言蜜语深信不疑。 阶级与道德的复杂探讨 《傲慢与偏见》的伟大之处在于，它没有简单地将人物划分为好与坏。奥斯汀通过丰富的次要人物来映射当时的社会现实： 简·贝内特与查尔斯·宾利：代表了天真、纯洁的爱，但他们的关系因外界的干预（主要是达西先生的担忧）而受阻，突显了社会身份对爱情的制约。 夏洛特·卢卡斯：伊丽莎白最好的朋友，为了经济安全而嫁给了平庸而势利的威廉·柯林斯先生。夏洛特的选择是那个时代女性残酷现实的缩影，与伊丽莎白对爱情的坚持形成了鲜明对比。 威克姆：一个典型的社会寄生虫，他依靠外表和口才来剥削他人，反映了社会中不劳而获者的虚伪。 达西的姑妈凯瑟琳·德·包尔女士：一位极端的贵族代表，她对社会地位的痴迷达到了荒谬的程度，是傲慢的极致体现。 身份的洗礼与最终的圆满 故事的高潮发生在伊丽莎白访问达西的宏伟庄园—— پ姆伯利。在那里，她看到了达西先生与仆人、妹妹相处时的和蔼可亲，以及他庄园的井井有条。这次经历彻底颠覆了她先前形成的偏见。 然而，贝内特家族的声誉危机——小妹莉迪亚与威克姆的私奔——再次将二人置于考验之中。当伊丽莎白得知是达西先生，匿名且慷慨地出面解决丑闻，挽救了贝内特家族的荣誉时，她对达西的感情彻底转变为深刻的尊重与爱慕。达西先生也在此过程中放下了对社会阶层的傲慢，承认了伊丽莎白一家善良的品质。 最终，两人都通过对自身缺陷的深刻反思，完成了精神上的成长。达西学会了谦逊，伊丽莎白学会了审慎。他们的结合，超越了金钱或地位的考量，成为了基于相互理解、尊重和真挚爱意的理想范例。 文学价值与持久影响 《傲慢与偏见》的叙事风格以其机智的对话和讽刺性的旁白著称。奥斯汀的高超之处在于，她能以一种轻松幽默的笔触，不动声色地揭示出人性中的弱点和社会的虚伪。小说探讨的核心主题——爱情如何战胜阶级偏见、自我认识的重要性，以及在维护个人尊严与接受现实之间的平衡——至今仍具有强大的现实意义，这也是它能够跨越两个世纪，持续吸引无数读者的不朽魅力所在。这部作品是英格兰乡村生活、婚姻市场以及成熟心智成长的永恒写照。

评分☆☆☆☆☆

说实话，我最初被这本书吸引，是因为它在豆瓣上的评分一直很高，并且常常被推荐为经典之作。读完之后，我发现它确实名副其实。它没有华丽的辞藻，也没有刻意的煽情，但就是这样一种朴实无华的叙事风格，却深深地打动了我。四个姐妹各自的人生轨迹，虽然有高低起伏，但始终贯穿着一种对生活的热爱和对家人的依恋。这种力量，在如今这个快节奏、物质至上的时代，显得尤为珍贵。

评分☆☆☆☆☆

这本书给我最大的感受，就是它描绘的那个时代背景下的家庭生活，虽然物质条件不比现在，但那种亲情、友情以及姐妹之间的互相扶持，却是一种超越时空的宝贵财富。它让我看到了，即使在困境中，只要有爱和勇气，生活依然可以充满阳光。我读得很慢，每一页都舍不得快进，生怕错过任何一个细小的感动。它不仅仅是一本书，更像是一扇窗，让我得以窥见那个年代，一群普通却闪耀着人性光辉的女性的生命轨迹。

评分☆☆☆☆☆

这本书，我断断续续地读了大概一周吧，虽然不是那种一口气读完就释卷的畅快淋漓，但每一次翻开，都能在某个午后，或者某个睡前，找到一种熨帖的宁静。它就像是老友的来访，没有惊天动地的故事，也没有跌宕起伏的情节，更多的是那种细水长流的温馨，以及人物之间不动声色的羁绊。乔的率真，梅格的优雅，艾米的小心思，还有贝丝的温良，她们就像我身边曾经认识过的、或者一直在我记忆深处的几个女孩，有着各自的优点和缺点，在那个不那么富裕却充满温情的家庭里，努力地生活，勇敢地成长。

评分☆☆☆☆☆

不得不说，这本书的书名《Little Women》翻译成《小妇人》实在是太贴切了。它并没有试图塑造什么惊为天人的女英雄，而是将目光聚焦在四个普通女孩的日常点滴上，展现了她们在成长过程中所经历的喜怒哀乐，所面对的各种选择和困惑。从姐妹之间的争吵与和解，到面对贫困的坚韧，再到对未来憧憬的迷茫，每一个细节都处理得那么真实，那么动人。我特别喜欢作者对人物心理的细腻刻画，仿佛能直接窥探到她们内心的世界，感受到她们的喜悦，也分担她们的忧伤。

评分☆☆☆☆☆

这本《Little Women》的平装版本，拿在手里有一种踏实的感觉。书页泛着微微的暖黄色，触感也很好，很适合在昏黄的灯光下，捧着它慢慢阅读。虽然我购买的是英文原版，但不得不说，语言本身就带着一种独特的韵味，即使在阅读过程中需要偶尔查阅一下生词，也丝毫不影响我对故事的沉浸。我尤其欣赏作者在描写人物性格时所使用的那些细致入微的词汇，让每个角色都活灵活现，跃然纸上。
