內容簡介

Charles Dickens’s story of selfless Little Nell and her ailing grandfather and their persecution by the magnificently malignant villain Quilp has seized the imaginations and wrung the hearts of generations of readers.

Dickens’s talent was superabundant in every way: in his dramatic force and his massive productivity, in his almost surreal comic power, in his compassion and thirst for justice, and in the imaginative pressure he brought to bear on even the most incidental of his characters. The delightfully various figures in The Old Curiosity Shop range memorably from jaunty Dick Swiveller and his little half-starved Marchioness to the hard-hearted siblings Sampson and Sally Brass, jovial Mrs. Jarley, devoted Kit Nubbles, the hunchbacked Daniel Quilp, and, of course, tragic Little Nell herself. Dickens’s depiction of the fate of his main characters is famously harrowing and unfailingly suspenseful, but not the least of its charms is that it is embellished with a supporting cast of figures as grotesque and colorful as anything in the Old Curiosity Shop itself.

那一天不可能去散步瞭。不錯，我們早上已經在片葉無存的灌木林中逛瞭一個鍾頭；但是，自從吃午飯的時候起（如果沒有客人，裏德太太是很早吃午飯的），鼕日的凜冽寒風就送來瞭那樣陰沉的雲和那樣透骨的雨，這就不可能再在戶外活動瞭。

　　我倒是很高興，我素來不愛遠距離的散步，特彆是在寒冷的下午。對我來說，在陰冷的黃昏迴傢實在可怕，手指和腳趾都凍僵瞭，還得聽保姆白茜的責罵，弄得心裏很不痛快，而且自己覺得體質不如伊麗莎、約翰和喬奇安娜·裏德，又感到低人一等。

人人文庫的經典原版圖書，相當不錯

這麼貴的書，也一個塑料袋包裝，京東怎麼想的啊？堅決換貨。

　　“白茜說我乾瞭什麼？”我問。

　　“簡，我可不喜歡吹毛求疵或者尋根究底的人；再說，小孩兒這樣打斷長輩的話，實在可怕。找個地方去坐下來。不會說討人喜歡的話，就彆多嘴。”休憩室的緊隔壁是一間小小的早餐室。我溜進瞭那間屋子。那兒有一個書架。不一會兒，我就拿到瞭一本書，我特意挑一本圖畫很多的。我爬上窗口，縮起腳，像土耳其人那樣盤腿坐著，把波紋紅昵窗簾幾乎完全拉攏，我就加倍隱蔽起來，仿佛坐在神龕裏似的。

彆人推薦的書，很不錯，值得看
