“中國經(jīng)典名著故事”叢書，以通俗、生動(dòng)的譯文，講述中國古典名著故事。《儒林外史》是清人吳敬梓所著長篇小說，以寫實(shí)主義描繪各類人士對(duì)于"功名富貴"的不同表現(xiàn)，一方面真實(shí)揭示人性被腐蝕的過程和原因，從而對(duì)當(dāng)時(shí)吏治的腐敗、科舉的弊端、禮教的虛偽等進(jìn)行了深刻的批判和嘲諷；一方面熱情地歌頌了少數(shù)人物以堅(jiān)持自我的方式所作的對(duì)于人性的守護(hù)，從而寄寓了作者的理想。該書代表著中國古代諷刺小說的高峰，開創(chuàng)了以小說直接評(píng)價(jià)現(xiàn)實(shí)生活的范例。The Scholars，authored by Wu Jingzi , creates a capacious and vivid portrayal of the community life of the feudal society and mirrors various filthy phenomena rampant during the last stage of feudalism. The book offers a vivid portrayal of the various abnormal personages in the vanity fair of position and wealth and delineates the ugly performances of the scholars. Meanwhile, it embodies the writer's social ideal of revitalizing ancient rites and music, rejuvenating the ways of the world and public morality and saving the nation from peril. It is recognized as one of the great masterpieces of Chinese satirical fiction.
