内容简介：翻开这本《色戒：张爱玲与胡兰成的前世今生》，相信人们可以找到答案。张爱玲与胡兰成是相知的，胡兰成说："因为相知，所以懂得。"张爱玲说："因为懂得，所以慈悲。"张爱玲所看重的就是这一点，但胡兰成对张爱玲只是相知，却不相随，也不专一。张爱玲用她的孤独、寂寞和苍凉为代价，弄懂了人生"相知"者难求"相随"者更难求的道理。胡兰成被称为汪精卫的"文胆"，是一位声名狼藉的文化汉奸，而他在爱情上的不专一，也使张爱玲的精神深受伤害，而遭怜惜张爱玲的人斥骂。胡兰成与张爱玲的感情纠葛始终是人们口中不老的话题，而《色戒：张爱玲与胡兰成的前世今生》则试图从一个全新的视角来解析和诠释张爱玲与胡兰成的人生经历和他们之间那场为世人所关注和议论的爱情婚姻。他们两人的人生爱情轨迹如同两条直线，原本平行，始终不会有交集的点，然而爱情的力量使他们的人生轨迹出现了倾斜，两条直线有了交点，而造物弄人，最终却在刹那的激情与热烈之后，他们又重新走向了各自的方向，而且渐行渐远。就张爱玲与胡兰成来说，即他虽坏，她却仍不禁要爱，爱中是也有恨，虽恨仍爱。造物弄人，可见一斑。胡兰成是个朝秦暮楚的荡子，他对女人，见一个爱一个，情虽不伪，却也不专；张爱玲与人交往则很矜持，不善交际，不见生客，对异性的求爱信，拆不也不拆，更别说看了。但为什么对胡兰成这么痴情？作者简介：夏世清，著名历史人物研究者，毕业于北京大学中文系，从事现代文学研究，现为多家媒体的专栏作家，自由撰稿人，"张爱玲与胡兰成"研究专家。
