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.

　　層層疊疊的猩紅帷幔擋住瞭我右邊的視綫，左邊卻是明亮的玻璃窗，它保護著我，讓我受不到陰鬱的11月天氣的侵襲，卻又不把我與外界隔絕。在翻書頁的當兒，我偶爾眺望一下鼕日午後的景色。遠處，隻見一片白茫茫的霧靄；附近，卻是濕漉漉的草坪和風雨襲擊下的灌木，連綿不斷的雨讓一陣經久不息的淒淒寒風驅趕著狂馳而過。

狄更斯神作，被低估的作品。

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。

書是人類的朋友。

　　還有一些部分我也不能放過，那就是下麵這些地方的荒涼海岸：拉普蘭，西伯利亞，斯匹次卑爾根⑥，新地島，冰島和格陵蘭，還有“那遼闊的北極區域，和那些陰暗地帶荒無人煙的地區；那兒是冰雪的貯藏所，經過幾百個隆鼕的積纍，已經成瞭一片堅實的冰野，像阿爾卑斯山般一峰高似一峰，冰麵晶瑩光滑，繞著地極，積聚瞭嚴寒的無窮威力”。對這些慘白色的區域，我形成瞭一個我自己的看法：朦朦朧朧，像在孩子們腦海裏沉浮的似懂非懂的概念，卻又齣奇地生動。這幾頁導言裏的文字都是和後麵的小插圖有關聯的：屹立在波濤洶湧、浪花飛濺的大海中的岩石，擱淺在荒涼海岸上的破船，還有那從雲縫間俯視沉舟的幽靈般的月亮，導言中的文字就使這些畫麵變得重要瞭。

這麼貴的書，也一個塑料袋包裝，京東怎麼想的啊？堅決換貨。
