欢乐之家(The House of Mirth)简介：

The House of Mirth tells the story of Lily Bart, aged 29, beautiful, impoverished and in need of a rich husband to safeguard her place in the social elite, and to support her expensive habits - her clothes, her charities and her gambling. Unwilling to marry without both love and money, Lily becomes vulnerable to the kind of gossip and slander which attach to a girl who has been on the marriage market for too long. Wharton charts the course of Lily's life, providing, along the way, a wider picture of a society in transition, a rapidly changing New York where the old certainties of manners, morals and family have disappeared and the individual has become an expendable commodity.

　　小说通过女主人公莉莉·巴特的悲惨命运，反映了上流社会摧残人生与理想的悲剧。莉莉·巴特聪明美丽，她有高雅的情趣与追求，但因家庭破产而处于寄人篱下的境地。莉莉决心凭借自己的美貌与智慧改变自己的处境，然而由于没有金钱做后盾，她处处碰壁受挫。莉莉最后在贫困与孤独中死去，用生命换取了一身清白。
　　小说文笔隽永，刻画人物心里细腻深刻，堪称美国小说史上一部独具风格的名篇。
