名利場

內容概要

　　重視現實主義寫法，也是薩克雷的一個主要的寫作特點。薩克雷以細致入微的幽默、對當時中上層社會的嘲諷和全景式的描寫見長。這部作品深入描寫了英國十九世紀初的社會關系。作者在《世界經典文學名著文庫：名利場（英文原版評注本）》中給我們展示了十九世紀英國社會的種種生活百態(tài)。國家政治，俗人生活，既有上層社會的奢華場面，又有貧寒人家的貧窮困窘。通過書中的人物經歷，薩克雷栩栩如生地勾勒出一幅現實中的名利場的畫面，把生活中爾虞我詐、欺騙背叛、勢利虛榮等丑惡行徑表現得淋漓盡致。

作者簡介

　　薩克雷（Thackeray，William Makepeace1811－1863），是英國批判現實主義小說家和幽默作家，十九世紀現實主義小說最重要的代表人物之一。 　　1811年7月18日，薩克雷出生于印度加爾各答一個英國富商家庭。父親去世得早，他年幼時就離開印度，回國讀書。1822年至1828年他在有名的私立學校查特豪斯公學學習。1829年進入劍橋大學三一學院。劍橋大學重理輕文，薩克雷越來越感到自己沒有學到有用的東西，虛度光陰。于是他放棄學位，離開劍橋去德國旅行。回到倫敦后，他開始學習法律，卻很快覺得那不是屬于自己的行當。于是再次返回歐洲大陸，來到巴黎學習繪畫。他不喜愛中規(guī)中矩的傳統(tǒng)油畫，反而對怪異夸張的幽默漫畫情有獨鐘。最終，繪畫也沒有成為他的職業(yè)。他只是后來偶爾為一些文學作品創(chuàng)作過插圖，比如狄更斯的《匹克威克外傳》和他本人的作品《名利場》。在巴黎，薩克雷結識了愛爾蘭少女伊莎貝拉。伊莎貝拉的父親是一位駐印度軍隊的上校。兩人相識不久就舉行了婚禮。伊莎貝拉性情溫順，很像《名利場》里的愛米麗亞。

章節(jié)摘錄

　　I know that the account of this kind of solitary imprisonment is insufferably tedious， unless there is some cheerful or humorous incident to enliven it a tender gaoler， for instance， or a waggish commandant of the fortress， or a mouse to come out and play about Latudeo's beard and whiskers， or a subterranean passage under the castle， dug by Trenck with his nails and a toothpick： the historian has no such enlivening incident to relate in the narrative of Amelia's captivity. Fancy her， if you please， during this period， very sad， but always ready to smile when spoken to; in a very mean， poor， not to say vulgar position of life; singing songs， making puddings， playing cards， mending stockings， for her old father's benefit. So， never mind， whether she be a heroine or no; or you and I， however old， scolding ，and bankrupt - may we have in our last days a kind soft shoulder on which to lean and a gentle hand to soothe our gouty old pillows.　　Old Sedley grew very fond of his daughter after his wife's death， and Amelia had her consolation in doing her duty by the old man.　　But we are not going to leave these two people long in such a low and ungenteel station of life， Better days， as far as worldly prosperity went， were in store for both. Perhaps the ingenious reader has guessed who was the stout gentleman who called upon Georgy a this school in company with our old friend Major Dobbin. It was another old acquaintance returned to England， and at a time when his presence was likely to be of great comfort to his relatives there.　　Major Dobbin having easily succeeded in getting leave from his good-natured commandant to proceed to Madras， and thence probably to Europe， on urgent private affairs， never ceased travelling night and day until he reached his journey's end， and had directed his march with such celerity that he arrived at Madras in a high fever. His servants who accompanied him brought him to the house of the friend with whom he had resolved to stay until his departure for Europe in a state of delirium; and it was thought for many， many days that he would never travel farther than the burying-ground of the church of St. George's， where the troops should fire a salvo over his grave， and where many a gallant officer lies far away from his home.　　Here， as the poor fellow lay tossing in his fever， the people who watched him might have heard him raving about Amelia. The idea that he should never see her again depressed him in his lucid hours0.He thought his last day was come， and he made his solemn preparations for departure， setting his affairs in this world in order and leaving the little property of which he was possessed to those whom he most desired to benefit. The friend in whose house he was located witnessed his testament. He desired to be buried with a little brown hair-chain which he wore round his neck and which， if the truth must be known， he had got from Amelia's maid at Brussels， when the young widow's hair was cut off， during the fever which prostrated her after the death of George Osborne on the plateau at Mount St. John，　　He recovered， rallied， relapsed again， having undergone such a process of blood-letting and calomel as showed the strength of his original constitution. He was almost a skeleton when they put him onboard the Ramch under East Indiaman， Captain Bragg， from Calcutta， touching at Madras， and so weak and prostrate that his friend who had tended him through his illness prophesied that the honest major would never survive the voyage， and that he would pass some morning， shrouded in flag and hammock， over the ship's side， and carrying down to the sea with him the relic that he wore at his heart. But whether it was the sea air， or the hope which sprung up in him afresh， from the day that the ship spread her canvas and stood out of the roads towards home， our friend began to amend， and he was quite well （though as gaunt as a greyhound） before they reached the Cape.' Kirk will be disappointed of his majority this time，' he said with a smile; 'he will expect to find himself gazetted by the time the regiment reaches home.' For it must be premised that while the major was lying ill at Madras， having made such prodigious haste to go thither， the gallant-th， which had passed many years abroad， which after its return from the West Indies had been baulked of its stay at home by the Waterloo campaign， and had been ordered from Flanders to India， had received orders home; and the major might have accompanied his comrades， had he chosen to wait for their arrival at Madras.　　……
