純真年代

內容簡介

內容簡介 《純真年代》是Edith Wahaton於1921年榮獲普立茲獎的小說作品，以精湛的諷刺和懷舊的細節描繪了一個消失的世界—紐約“鍍金時代”閃閃發光的精英社會—正值其權力的鼎盛時期和其滅亡的邊緣。 當Newland Archer舒適的未來因大膽非傳統的Ellen Olenska的到來而陷入不確定性時，作者筆下的人物在激情與禮節之間的衝突中展開微妙的結局。Ta-Nahisi Coates曾言Edith Wahaton不僅是一位偉大的美國小說家亦是“處於遊戲巔峰”的天才。編者希拉·利明的介紹為小說的鍍金時代背景提供了歷史和社會文化背景，闡明了伊迪絲·華頓這部傑作的巧妙諷刺、性別政治和持久影響。Winner of the 1921 Pulizer Prize, Edith Wahaton's The Age of Innocence depicts with masterful irony and nostalgic detail a vanished world--- the glittering , elite society of "Gilded Age" New York---at the height of its power and on the brink of its demise. When Newland Archer's comfortable future is thrown into uncertainty by the arrival of the brazenly unconventional Ellen Olenska, subtle consequences unfold as Wharton's characters navgate conflicts of passion and propriety, demonstrating the gentius of a great American novelist"at the top of her game" (Ta-Nahisi Coates). The Norton Library edition of The Age of Innocence features the complete text of the first (1921) edition. An introduction by Sheila Liming provides historical and sociocultural context to the novel’s Gilded Age setting, illuminating the deft ironies, gender politics, and enduring influence of Edith Wharton’s masterwork.
