《紅樓夢》中有歷久彌新、令人神往的雅文化，即貴族文化的精華。大眾往往誤以為貴族就是有權有勢，享受龐大的財富、過奢靡的生活，但這僅止於物質範疇，更重要的，則是精神層面的那份涵養和優雅。古人的思想、感受和所關心的問題，和現代的我們截然有別，何況曹雪芹寫的是貴族世家的故事，而多數人卻不見得有類似的生活體驗，那就注定帶著先天的隔閡，容易將故事讀反了。例如把林黛玉當成寄人籬下的灰姑娘、把王熙鳳看成是心腸歹毒的反面人物、把脫軌放任當作追求自由平等、把貴族看成暴發戶……還有，把曹雪芹想要展示雅文化之美，以及最終卻失落了這份價值而感傷哀輓，誤以為是反封建禮教。有不少研究者都是從這樣的角度切入，《紅樓夢》便如此被套上了重重的誤解。探索《紅樓夢》已逾二十年的歐麗娟教授，帶著讀者重新理解紅樓人物，要看懂「紅樓夢中人」為了活得更有價值可以做哪些奮鬥，特別是其中的女性角色，如何用更堅忍、更高貴的美好姿態來面對人生 ...

**蔣勳說：如果在荒島上只許帶一本書，我會帶《紅樓夢》。《紅樓夢》最迷人的部分全在生活細節，並不是情節。每天能閱讀一點就閱讀一點，這是讀《紅樓夢》最好的方法。**《紅樓夢》，是一塊躲藏著生命意念的頑石，到人世間經歷的一次生死愛恨；是眷戀繁華的「假象」，也是了悟幻滅的「真相」；是一段歌笑涕淚所有青春韶華的詩篇，也是一個惋惜悲嘆所有美麗女子的故事；《紅樓夢》裡的愛情，在性別裡流動、變換，而寶玉和寶釵、黛玉之間，更糾纏著不可言說的生命遺憾……那些絢爛繽紛，彷如一夢，彷如前世始終忘不掉的一次花季。美學大師蔣勳將他閱讀《紅樓夢》半世紀的深刻體悟，滲透進入字裡行間，如實告訴我們：為什麼《紅樓夢》是可以讀一輩子的書？為何閱讀《紅樓夢》是一種學習「寬容」的過程？這是一本進入經典之前的必要之書，獨到可親的導讀，讓經典的價值長存，並與今世呼應，更具有觀照你我人生的現代意義。
