书籍介绍
这并非一个关于风尘女子洗心改过的劝善故事,而是一场关于「爱如何被想象与真实反复撕扯」的漫长拉锯。小仲马最狠的地方,是让男主角阿尔芒在「像个百万富翁似的爱你」与「像个穷光蛋似的爱您」之间反复横跳——他爱的究竟是玛格丽特这个人,还是她身上那层可供献祭的悲剧色彩?读者反复提到的,正是这种相爱相杀的精确:她以身体为生意,却把最后的真诚给了一个买不起她的穷学生;社会以廉耻为名施以冷血,比开棺见尸更令人胃里翻涌的,是那种体面人对「灵魂上的聋子」的漠视。它适合的不是来寻找圆满爱情的人,而是愿意直面「情深不寿」这四个字的人——当你读完,或许会像那位边看《行尸走肉》都不曾不适的读者一样,被一段旧文字夺走了晚饭的胃口。
作者简介
Alexandre Dumas fils was born in Paris in 1824, the illegitimate son of a seamstress and Dumas pere, author of The Three Musketeers and The Count of Monte-Cristo. He was unhappy at school and was still an adolescent when his father initiated him into the social and literary life of Paris. He cut a figure as a dandy, ran up debts and, in 1844, began an affair with one of the most celebrated courtesans of the times, Marie Duplessis, whom he immortalized in La Dame aux Camelias.
