内容简介

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.

　　“简，我可不喜欢吹毛求疵或者寻根究底的人；再说，小孩儿这样打断长辈的话，实在可怕。找个地方去坐下来。不会说讨人喜欢的话，就别多嘴。”休憩室的紧隔壁是一间小小的早餐室。我溜进了那间屋子。那儿有一个书架。不一会儿，我就拿到了一本书，我特意挑一本图画很多的。我爬上窗口，缩起脚，像土耳其人那样盘腿坐着，把波纹红昵窗帘几乎完全拉拢，我就加倍隐蔽起来，仿佛坐在神龛里似的。

其它都好，就是价太高了点

别人推荐的书，很不错，值得看

　　层层叠叠的猩红帷幔挡住了我右边的视线，左边却是明亮的玻璃窗，它保护着我，让我受不到阴郁的11月天气的侵袭，却又不把我与外界隔绝。在翻书页的当儿，我偶尔眺望一下冬日午后的景色。远处，只见一片白茫茫的雾霭；附近，却是湿漉漉的草坪和风雨袭击下的灌木，连绵不断的雨让一阵经久不息的凄凄寒风驱赶着狂驰而过。

　　还有一些部分我也不能放过，那就是下面这些地方的荒凉海岸：拉普兰，西伯利亚，斯匹次卑尔根⑥，新地岛，冰岛和格陵兰，还有“那辽阔的北极区域，和那些阴暗地带荒无人烟的地区；那儿是冰雪的贮藏所，经过几百个隆冬的积累，已经成了一片坚实的冰野，像阿尔卑斯山般一峰高似一峰，冰面晶莹光滑，绕着地极，积聚了严寒的无穷威力”。对这些惨白色的区域，我形成了一个我自己的看法：朦朦胧胧，像在孩子们脑海里沉浮的似懂非懂的概念，却又出奇地生动。这几页导言里的文字都是和后面的小插图有关联的：屹立在波涛汹涌、浪花飞溅的大海中的岩石，搁浅在荒凉海岸上的破船，还有那从云缝间俯视沉舟的幽灵般的月亮，导言中的文字就使这些画面变得重要了。

　　我倒是很高兴，我素来不爱远距离的散步，特别是在寒冷的下午。对我来说，在阴冷的黄昏回家实在可怕，手指和脚趾都冻僵了，还得听保姆白茜的责骂，弄得心里很不痛快，而且自己觉得体质不如伊丽莎、约翰和乔奇安娜·里德，又感到低人一等。
