书籍介绍
这不是一本读起来轻松的书。人物众多、线索分头展开,前几十页容易让人记不住、想放弃,但它真正打动人的,恰恰是那种慢条斯理、娓娓道来的分量。乔治艾略特笔下没有非黑即白的角色:想改善世界的女多萝西娅把青春押在一个象征“知识之门”的老学究身上,理想最终破灭;怀抱医学理想的医生被挥霍的妻子拖垮。他们都不是坏人,只是在生活的琐碎里一次次做出并不聪明的选择。小说最见功力的,是那些极具穿透力的观察——人在早餐与午餐之间咽下的失望、用骄傲藏起伤痛却不愿伤人——被写得精准而克制。它适合愿意慢下来、不介意冗长、却渴望在成年后的世界里看清自己的读者。

精彩摘录
  • "We mortals, men and women, devour many a disappointment between breakfast and dinner-time; keep back the tears and look a little pale about the lips, and in answer to inquiries say, ‘Oh, nothing!’ Pride helps us; and pride is not a bad thing when it only urges us to hide our own hurts-not to hurt ot"
  • "Qui veut delasser hors de propos, lasse. PASCAL"
  • "They'll take suggestion as a cat laps milk SHAKESPEARE: Tempest"
  • "Hence Mr Gambit could go away from the chief grocer's without fear of rivalry, but not without a sense that Lydgate was one of those hypocrites who try to discredit others by advertising their own honesty, and that it might be worth some people's while to show him up."
用户评论
Oh how I wish I read this earlier!
”What do I think of Middlemarch? What do I think of glory."-Emily Dickinson
一年半拖拖拉拉读,最后一鼓作气读完。人物太多,事无巨细,各种八卦。开始很难适应她的文风,觉得平淡无力,会看睡,看到中后部分,纠纷多了,提神了。忠诚二字考验人性。
前面拖拖拉拉读了半年,小说结尾将所有人串联起来,最后一口气读完后后十分之一。
‘If youth is the season of hope, it is often so only in the sense that our elders are hopeful about us; for no age is so apt as youth to think its emotions, partings, and resolve are the last of their kind. Each crisis seems final, simply because it is new.’
