"An exquisite delight . . . A consummate work of art. . . . New York society and customs in the seventies are described with an accuracy that is almost uncanny; to read these pages is to live again . . . The love scenes between [Newland] and Ellen are wonderful in their terrible, inarticulate passion; it is curious how much more real they are than the unrestrained detailed descriptions thought by so many writers to be 'realism' . . . So little is said, so little is done, yet one feels the infinite passion in the finite hearts that burn. . . . The appearance of such a book as THE AGE OF INNOCENCE by an American is a matter for public rejoicing. It is one of the best novels of the twentieth century and looks like a permanent addition to literature."
--The New York Times Book Review
October 17, 1920
"THE AGE OF INNOCENCE is a masterly achievement. In lonely contrast to almost all the novelists who write about fashionable New York, [Wharton] knows her world. . . . [Her] triumph is that she had described these rites and surfaces and burdens as familiarly as if she loved them and as lucidly as if she hated them."
--The Nation, November 3, 1920
"Mrs. Wharton opens to life a free and swinging door . . . The 'best people' are, after all, a trite subject for the analyst, but in this novel Mrs. Wharton has shown them to be, for her, a superb subject. She has made of them a clear, composed, rounded work of art . . . She has preserved a given period in her amber--a pale, pure amber that has living light."
--The New Republic, November 17, 1920 --此文字指其他 kindle_edition 版本。

From AudioFile
Old Martin Chuzzlewit has a great fortune, but to whom can he leave it? He and his likable grandson, young Martin, have fallen out. Beyond that, a tangle of sly, grasping relatives coil about him. Throughout, the reader is rooting for the gentle Tom Pinch and his lovely sister, Mary. But before all can be decided, Dickens puts both Tom and young Martin through murder, mayhem and a brief purgatory in the United States. Reader Davidson quickly tunes into Dickens's ferocious irony, but his paramount strength is his uncanny ability to find and maintain the perfect voice for each of the vintage characters: drippy, insinuous, vicious, sly, bold American backwoods, or London Cheapside. Each is a distinct creation! Dickens lovers will treasure every tape in this two-volume masterpiece. P.E.F.An AUDIOFILE Earphones Award winner.

1843 was the year that Dickens decided to explore the potential psychological changes that a person may undergo. In his well known classic " A Christmas Carol' we follow the life of his the author's tragic hero as he undergoes a life review, past, present and future. We, as readers, are caught up in this drama because of the constants that Dickens has shown in his earlier works; flowing descriptions, fast actions and dialogue, the quick dash to a moralistic ending and, lastly, the author's penchant for `happily ever after' endings. This work was, and will remain, his classic work in the novella format.

The other work that was done this year with a similar aim in mind was "Martin Chuzzlewit". Unfortunately, our renowned author was off the mark in this quest. While Scrooge's transformation was transparent through the spiritual visitations, old Martin's took place over and extended period of time and only done through the actions of his adopted girl, Mary, and done completely out of the reader's purview. This difference leads the first to seem as a natural part of an ongoing sequence whereas the second is awkward, lacks a reality base and requires the reader to totally shift his conclusion about the book title's character at the near finish of the novel. In `A Christmas Carol' we have a wide variety of believable and endearing characters who show a vast array of positive human qualities. From the Crachits we see humble grace, from the nephew we find familial love, and from Fezziwig we find professional honor and grace. "Martin Chuzzlewit", on the other hand takes all these and other uplifting qualities of human life and places them in a single, awkward and less-than-handsome character known as Tom Finch. Yes, I realize that the author was simply pointing out that the true value of life's meaning can be found in the most unlikely of persons, but Dickens did it to such an extreme that it falls off the far side of the table called `reality'. By overly saturating us with Tom and his virtues, the author's important character lesson quickly loses its credibility. Lastly, unlike the novella, the action in this 800+ page tome is very limited and/or non-existent. It reads more like a Victorian soap opera than it does like Dickens's more commanding and directive works. "The Pickwick Papers" and this work are the only two novels written by Dickens that appear as they were presented to his reading public; as a series of installments that occurred over a one year period. This, too, adds to the awkwardness of this book when taken as a whole.

I have read "A Christmas Carol" numerous times and plan to do the same in the future. Although both this and "Martin Chuzzlewit" attempt to portray the same message, I do not see myself ever rereading the latter. It is far too cumbersome and lacks a firm thematic directive throughout..............

Not My Favorite Dickens Work, But Not the Worst

2015年6月17日 - 已在美国亚马逊上发表

It was a happy day when I, for whatever reason, elected to sample Charles Dickens. Having read A Tale of Two Cities in high school, I digressed to more popular fiction (Michener, Clavell, McMurtry, King, Grisham), as well as periods of science fiction and even non-fiction (Ambrose, McCollough for example), before making an effort to upgrade my reading list.

I read some Tolstoy, Dostoyevsky, Steinbeck and Hemingway with mixed success before reading Great Expectations. I liked it enough to read David Copperfield, and I was hooked. A Tale of Two Cities followed and then Oliver Twist (not my favorite), Bleak House and Nicholas Nickleby before taking on this lengthy novel.

Martin Chuzzlewit takes its name not from one, but two characters in the novel, a very wealthy, old gentleman and his grandson. While there are numerous story threads involved in the work, the overarching theme involves the ultimate disposition of the elder Chuzzlewit’s substantial fortune, the characters maneuvering for a piece of it and those on the periphery.

As in almost all Dickens’s work, the beauty of the novel lies in the original and classic characters created therein. Heretofore, I had heard people referred to as “pecksniffs” without any understanding of the meaning (aside from context) or the source of the reference. Mr. Pecksniff and his daughters are central characters in this novel. The story was penned shortly after Dickens returned from a tour of the United States and that country does not show well in the younger Martin’s experiences there.

Having read several Dickens works prior to this one, I was aware that a period of acclimation is required before becoming comfortable with both the language and the cultural landscape, however the comfort that I eventually attained in the previous novels was more difficult to come by here. To be honest, some of the dialogue, especially that of the old nurse was virtually unintelligible.

Make no mistake, at nearly 900 pages this is a real door stop, with long periods of very slow advancement. Not my favorite of the several Dickens novels I have read, but not the worst.

I have read The Tale of Two Cities and other works of Dickens several times but never Martin Chuzzlewit. I really enjoyed it up until the end. It seemed a bit drawn out and I was ready to finish and go on. I was surprised and pleased at the tongue in cheek humor. A long trip worth the time.

Comments on Dickens' Martin Chuzzlewit by Joanne Morse

2014年8月28日 - 已在美国亚马逊上发表

This earlier Dickens novel is certainly not taut and polished, as is Great Expectations, but when it DOES concentrate on plot and character, as in the crime scenes toward the end of the book, Dickens gets into the head and guts of his character as Fyodor Dostoevsky himself could understand and emulate, and drives ahead with events in the best tradition of suspense thrillers. The novel is long, but if one takes time to enjoy the descriptive passages and the amply developed speech, dress, and mannerisms of the characters, the experience is like "reading" a movie. Critics have long noted Dickens' cinematic style...well before there was such a thing. Chuzzlewit is a beautiful example of this. Dickens was highly criticized by easily insulted Americans when they read his section on our 1840s lifestyles and manners. He was viewing America as a visiting Englishman, and although the characters are no where near as fully developed as those of his homeland, I really see no exaggeration in his portrayal of the wild, gun slinging, cocky, racist, my-way-or-the-highway American type. Of course that is not the whole picture, but it would be a memorable and true one to the casual visitor...then and now.
