HOUSE OF MIRTH, THE(ISBN=9780553213201)
One of Wharton's earliest de*ions of her heroine, in thelibrary of her bachelor friend and sometime suitor Lawrence Selden,indicates that she appears "as though she were a captured dryadsubdued to the conventions of the drawing room." Indeed, hereinlies Lily's problem. She has, we're told, "been brought up to beornamental," and yet her spirit is larger than what this ancillaryrole requires. By today's standards she would be nothing more thana mild rebel, but in the era into which Wharton drops herunmercifully, this tiny spark of character, combined with numerousassaults by vicious society women and bad luck, ultimately rendersLily persona non grata. Her own ambivalence about her positionserves to open the door to disaster: several times she is on theverge of "good" marriage and squanders it at the last moment,unwilling to play by the rules of a society that produces, as shecalls them, "poor, miserable, marriageable girls.

NICHOLAS NICKLEBY(ISBN=9780679423072)
From Library Journal Nicholas Nickleby, agentleman's son fallen upon hard times, must set out to make hisway in the world. Along the way various older, money-grubbingvillains attempt to injure him. Eventually, with the assistance ofkind patrons, he and his family achieve economic security and ahappy home. Sounds rather trite, doesn't it? Not with characterswritten by Dickens (Hard Times, Audio Reviews, LJ 5/1/98).Schoolmaster Squeers would make a fine poster boy for childabusers. Ralph Nickleby's initial desire to injure Nicholasgradually develops into a full-blown obsession. Then there are thekind Cheeryble brothers, the gentle, much-abused Smike, and a hostof other friends who provide comic relief. Martin Jarvis does anoutstanding job of reading this book. His ingenues sound young (afrequent problem area for male readers) while his villains aredeliciously evil. The only problems are with the abridgment. Inseveral places, choppy editing has left brief, disconnected scenesand/or character cameos without re

CHRISTMAS CAROL, A(ISBN=9780553212440)
A Christmas Carol is probably best known now as a storyexploited by Hollywood repeatedly in straight adaptations andaltered versions such as the Bill Murray comedy Scrooged.Regardless of how it is now known it is certainly well known, andits anti-hero Scrooge represents curmudgeonly and stingy attitudesoutside the context of the book. It was published a Christmas bookin 1843 and is quite a simple tale but successful for that reason.Scrooge is avaricious, misanthropic and heartless, showing nofeeling for the Christmas spirit After he is visited by the ghostof his former business partner, Marley, he sees visions of hispast, present and future that inspire him to become a zealouslykind and amiable individual who sends a turkey to his clerk BobCratchit and gives to Christmas charities generously. It is asomewhat saccharine tale and is not one of Dickens?finer works butthe story itself is heartening and is a proposed alternative to thegrim and stern Puritan values of the Victorian age.

One of the particular pleasures of reading Kim is the full rangeof emotion, knowledge, and experience that Rudyard Kipling giveshis complex hero. Kim O'Hara, the orphaned son of an Irish soldierstationed in India, is neither innocent nor victimized. Raised byan opium-addicted half-caste woman since his equally dissolutefather's death, the boy has grown up in the streets of Lahore: Though he was burned black as any native; though he spoke thevernacular by preference, and his mother-tongue in a clippeduncertain sing-song; though he consorted on terms of perfectequality with the small boys of the bazar; Kim was white--a poorwhite of the very poorest. From his father and the woman who raised him, Kim has come tobelieve that a great destiny awaits him. The details, however, area bit fuzzy, consisting as they do of the woman's addled propheciesof "'a great Red Bull on a green field, and the Colonel riding onhis tall horse, yes, and'--dropping into English--'nine hundreddevils.'" In the meantime, Kim amuses himse

THE MAYOR OF CASTERBRIDGE卡斯特桥市长(ISBN=9780553210248)
From Library Journal If this audiobook were a movie, it might drain the entire WestEnd to replace the single voice of Tony Britton. Not only does hedisplay extraordinary command of old dialects, but he also revealsdeep understanding of the rural inhabitants of 18th-century Wessex.So skilled is the reading that it could be the colorful charactersthemselves sounding off at The Three Mariners in the center ofCasterbridge. Of course author Hardy (Tess of the D'Urbervilles,Audio Reviews, LJ 5/15/92) has done his part. This novel is one ofhis most inspiring creations. It is about a common field laborer,Michael Henshard, who becomes a leader in this small market townand then?through his own failure?sinks back miserably to his humblebeginnings. As this tragic figure moves across the landscape ofHardy's native Dorset, de*ions of the countryside are asevocative as paintings by John Constable and as lively as scenes byPeter Brueghel. Highly recommended.?Jo Carr, Sarasota, Fla. Copyright 1997 Reed Busi

From AudioFile Clym Yeobright, native of Egdon Heath, returns from the brightsociety of Paris and, as any reader of Hardy knows, all is notsmooth. He is quickly taken by and marries the one woman he shouldnot--Eustacia Vye. The suffering that follows is mitigated somewhatby the ending, but more by the mastery of Alan Rickman's reading.At the start, Rickman senses the voice for each character inHardy's fictional world, and he maintains each character'spersonality throughout. He even manages to project Hardy's subtleshadings of tone with the rhythm and tempo of his narration,throwing in a song here and there because, in spite of his gloom,there is a festive strain to Hardy, as well. If you have a hardtime reading this classic English writer, this is how to do it.P.E.F. (c) AudioFile, Portland, Maine --This text refers to theAudio Cassette edition.

HANDFUL OF DUST, A(ISBN=9780375414206)
"All over England people were waking up, queasy anddespondent." Few writers have walked the line between farce and tragedy asnimbly as Evelyn Waugh, who employed the conventions of the comicnovel to chip away at the already crumbling English class system.His 1934 novel, A Handful of Dust , is a sublime example ofhis bleak satirical style: a mordantly funny exposé of aristocraticdecadence and ennui in England between the wars. Tony Last is an aristocrat whose attachment to an ideal feudalpast is so profound that he is blind to his wife Brenda's boredomwith the stately rhythms of country life. While he earnestly playsthe lord of the manor in his ghastly Victorian Gothic pile, shesets herself up in a London flat and pursues an affair with thesocial-climbing idler John Beaver. In the first half of the novelWaugh fearlessly anatomizes the lifestyles of the rich andshameless. Everyone moves through an endless cycle of parties andcountry-house weekends, being scrupulously polite in public andutterly horrid in
