这是一部关于盗梦和秘密的迷宫辞典体小说，包括一明一暗两条线索：历史线索和魔幻线索。历史线索即作者明确告诉我们的，历史上出现过一次哈扎尔大论辩，目的在于帮助哈扎尔可汗选择宗教。在可汗邀请下，基督教、犹太教和伊斯兰教的代表都汇集到哈扎尔首都，举行了一次大论辩。对于辩论结果，各个宗教都有自己的说法。由于哈扎尔人自己写的历史已淹没无闻，只能通过基督教、犹太教和伊斯兰教的文献来佐证这次大论辩的结果。但三个宗教记载的结果相互矛盾，都认为自己是胜者。作者把全书分成三部分，《红书》中讲述基督教的说法，《绿书》讲述伊斯兰教的说法，《黄书》讲述犹太教说法。哪种说法为真，书中没有明言，留给读者自己去判断。
魔幻线索隐藏在明线之中，需要读者抽丝剥茧。公元9世纪，阿捷赫公主坚守哈扎尔人独有的捕梦者宗教，相信梦中人能在不同人梦里穿越，捕梦者通过采集人的梦，可以整理出关于“第三天神阿丹•鲁阿尼”的知识，从而获得宇宙的秘密，并无限接近上帝。公主和她的爱人各写了一本书，书中讲述捕梦法以及如何获得第三天神神性的方法。这两本书即《哈扎尔辞典》的源头，由两人所写，就有了阴阳本的区别。此书令魔鬼们害怕，他们让公主爱人死去，公主也被剥夺了说话能力，书散失了。那些无意中悟出盗梦真谛的人们曾两次试图将书还原，他们根据梦境和零星线索，分别在1691年和1982年出版了《哈扎尔辞典》，但他们的尝试都被魔鬼阻断了。到1982年，第三天神的神性处于高峰期，三个魔鬼担心三个盗梦人成功收齐辞典，就杀死其中两位，把另一个关进牢房，使这个知识再次成为断片。这些断片汇集成了第二版，也就是如今读者手上的《哈扎尔辞典》。

Northern Lights is the first novel in the His Dark Materials trilogy, written by the British novelist Philip Pullman and published in 1995.
The superficial resemblance of protagonist Lyra Belacqua's alethiometer (depicted on the book's cover) to a large compass caused the North American publishers of Northern Lights to retitle the book The Golden Compass.[1] The Golden Compasses was an early proposal for the name of the trilogy (instead of His Dark Materials), taken from Milton's Paradise Lost, where it refers to the drawing instrument, rather than the navigation instrument.[1]
Northern Lights won the Carnegie Medal for children's fiction in the UK in 1995[2], and in 2007 it was selected by judges of the Carnegie Medal as one of the ten most important children's novels of the past 70 years.
The Observer cites it as number 98 of the 100 best novels.
In recent times there has been some controversy about the book's message regarding religion. Pullman wrote the book as a response to the Chronicles of Narnia series written by C. S. Lewis.

由托尔金所写的《魔戒》，是一部充满矮人、精灵、骑士、巫师、半兽人、神仙等等的奇幻探险故事。本书澎湃壮丽的背景，奇特而丰富的人物，带领了全世界奇幻（Fantasy）创作类型的发展及延伸，堪称20世纪以来最壮丽的史诗作品，改编成电影后更是轰动世界。
故事讲述了天真无邪的哈比男孩佛罗多继承了一枚戒指，却发现它就是黑暗魔君索伦铸造的至尊魔戒，具有奴役全世界的力量。在甘道夫的指导下，佛罗多和精灵、矮人、哈比人、游侠、人类组成远征队，要将魔戒扔进末日火山口销毁。索伦已派出黑骑士四处搜寻这枚戒指，而魔戒又有强大的腐蚀力，会使佩戴者心灵扭曲；善的力量能否战胜恶的诱惑？……此版本还独家收录了艾伦•李50幅手绘彩色插图。

A Letter from Brian Selznick
Dear readers,
When I was a kid, two of my favorite books were by an amazing man named Remy Charlip. Fortunately and Thirteen fascinated me in part because, in both books, the very act of turning the pages plays a pivotal role in telling the story. Each turn reveals something new in a way that builds on the image on the previous page. Now that I’m an illustrator myself, I’ve often thought about this dramatic storytelling device and all of its creative possibilities.
My new book, The Invention of Hugo Cabret, is a 550 page novel in words and pictures. But unlike most novels, the images in my new book don't just illustrate the story; they help tell it. I've used the lessons I learned from Remy Charlip and other masters of the picture book to create something that is not a exactly a novel, not quite a picture book, not really a graphic novel, or a flip book or a movie, but a combination of all these things.
I began thinking about this book ten years ago after seeing some of the magical films of Georges Méliès, the father of science-fiction movies. But it wasn’t until I read a book called Edison's Eve: The Quest for Mechanical Life by Gaby Woods that my story began to come into focus. I discovered that Méliès had a collection of mechanical, wind-up figures (called automata) that were donated to a museum, but which were later destroyed and thrown away. Instantly, I imagined a boy discovering these broken, rusty machines in the garbage, stealing one and attempting to fix it. At that moment, Hugo Cabret was born.
A few years ago, I had the honor of meeting Remy Charlip, and I'm proud to say that we've become friends. Last December he was asking me what I was working on, and as I was describing this book to him, I realized that Remy looks exactly like Georges Méliès. I excitedly asked him to pose as the character in my book, and fortunately, he said yes. So every time you see Méliès in The Invention of Hugo Cabret, the person you are really looking at is my dear friend Remy Charlip, who continues to inspire everyone who has the great pleasure of knowing him or seeing his work.
Paris in the 1930's, a thief, a broken machine, a strange girl, a mean old man, and the secrets that tie them all together... Welcome to The Invention of Hugo Cabret.
Yours,

Brian Selznick on a "Deleted Scene" from The Invention of Hugo Cabret
This is a finished drawing that I had to cut from The Invention of Hugo Cabret. I was still rewriting the book when I had to begin the final art. There was originally a scene in the story where this character, Etienne, is working in a camera shop. On one of my research trips to Paris I spent an entire day visiting old camera shops and photographing cameras from the 1930's and earlier, as well as the facades of the shops themselves. I researched original French camera posters and made sure that the counter and the shelves were accurate to the time period. I did all the drawings in the book at 1/4 scale, so they were very small and I often had to use a magnifying glass to help me see what I was drawing. After I finished this drawing I continued to rewrite, and for various reasons I realized that I needed to move this scene from the camera shop to the French Film Academy, which meant that I had to cut this picture. I tried really hard to find ANOTHER moment when I could have Etienne in a camera shop, but, as painful as it was, I knew the picture had to go. I'm glad to see it up on the Amazon website because otherwise no one would have ever seen all those tiny cameras I researched and drew so carefully!
--Brian Selznick
Illustrations

From Publishers Weekly
Here is a true masterpiece—an artful blending of narrative, illustration and cinematic technique, for a story as tantalizing as it is touching.Twelve-year-old orphan Hugo lives in the walls of a Paris train station at the turn of the 20th century, where he tends to the clocks and filches what he needs to survive. Hugo's recently deceased father, a clockmaker, worked in a museum where he discovered an automaton: a human-like figure seated at a desk, pen in hand, as if ready to deliver a message. After his father showed Hugo the robot, the boy became just as obsessed with getting the automaton to function as his father had been, and the man gave his son one of the notebooks he used to record the automaton's inner workings. The plot grows as intricate as the robot's gears and mechanisms [...] To Selznick's credit, the coincidences all feel carefully orchestrated; epiphany after epiphany occurs before the book comes to its sumptuous, glorious end. Selznick hints at the toymaker's hidden identity [...] through impressive use of meticulous charcoal drawings that grow or shrink against black backdrops, in pages-long sequences. They display the same item in increasingly tight focus or pan across scenes the way a camera might. The plot ultimately has much to do with the history of the movies, and Selznick's genius lies in his expert use of such a visual style to spotlight the role of this highly visual media. A standout achievement. Ages 9-12. (Mar.)
From School Library Journal
Grade 4–9—With characteristic intelligence, exquisite images, and a breathtaking design, Selznick shatters conventions related to the art of bookmaking in this magical mystery set in 1930s Paris. He employs wordless sequential pictures and distinct pages of text to let the cinematic story unfold, and the artwork, rendered in pencil and bordered in black, contains elements of a flip book, a graphic novel, and film. It opens with a small square depicting a full moon centered on a black spread. As readers flip the pages, the image grows and the moon recedes. A boy on the run slips through a grate to take refuge inside the walls of a train station—home for this orphaned, apprentice clock keeper. As Hugo seeks to accomplish his mission, his life intersects with a cantankerous toyshop owner and a feisty girl who won't be ignored. Each character possesses secrets and something of great value to the other. With deft foreshadowing, sensitively wrought characters, and heart-pounding suspense, the author engineers the elements of his complex plot: speeding trains, clocks, footsteps, dreams, and movies—especially those by Georges Méliès, the French pioneer of science-fiction cinema. Movie stills are cleverly interspersed. Selznick's art ranges from evocative, shadowy spreads of Parisian streets to penetrating character close-ups. Leaving much to ponder about loss, time, family, and the creative impulse, the book closes with a waning moon, a diminishing square, and informative credits. This is a masterful narrative that readers can literally manipulate.
—Wendy Lukehart, Washington DC Public Library
From Booklist
Selznick's "novel in words and pictures," an intriguing mystery set in 1930s Paris about an orphan, a salvaged clockwork invention, and a celebrated filmmaker, resuscitates an anemic genre--the illustrated novel--and takes it to a whole new level. The result is somewhat similar to a graphic novel, but experiencing its mix of silvery pencil drawings and narrative interludes is ultimately more akin to watching a silent film. Indeed, movies and the wonder they inspire, "like seeing dreams in the middle of the day," are central to the story, and Selznick expresses an obvious passion for cinema in ways both visual (successive pictures, set against black frames as if projected on a darkened screen, mimic slow zooms and dramatic cuts) and thematic (the convoluted plot involves director Georges M'eli'es, particularly his fanciful 1902 masterpiece, A Trip to the Moon .) This hybrid creation, which also includes movie stills and archival photographs, is surprising and often lovely, but the orphan's story is overshadowed by the book's artistic and historical concerns (the heady extent of which are revealed in concluding notes about Selznick's inspirations, from the Lumi'ere brothers to Fran'eois Truffaut). Nonetheless, bookmaking this ambitious demands and deserves attention--which it will surely receive from children attracted by a novel in which a complex narrative is equally advanced by things both read and seen.

From AudioFile
Inside a Paris train station in 1932, a small boy named Hugo Cabret secretly keeps all the clocks running. Like the workings of a clock, the parts of this intriguing story interlock, and the audio program is a marvel in itself. Jeff Woodman narrates Hugo's story, which introduces listeners to an automaton, a mechanical figure that writes and draws, and the early science fiction films of Georges M?li?s. Woodman clearly captures Hugo and his friends as they try to discover the secrets of an old man. Sound sequences are placed within the narrative where in the print edition of the book a series of illustrations occurs. A bonus DVD accompanies the set, and it's a dynamic "extra." The disc contains not just a filmed interview with Selznick, in which he talks about his writing and illustration process, but also images of the actual illustrations. This wholly original integration of audio narration, soundscapes, illustration, and author discussion is an experience listeners of all ages should not miss. Discovering how the intricate puzzle of elements fits together like clockwork will provide repeated listenings to figure out. R.F.W. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award

「這是一個熱情故事，我想表達出愛情的萬轉千迴，

作为20世纪中文小说100强的《台北人》，是一部深具复杂性的短篇小说集，由十四个一流的短篇小说构成，串联成一体，则效果遽然增加，不但小说之幅面变广，使我们看到社会之“众生相”，更重要的，由于主题命意之一再重复，与互相陪衬辅佐，使我们能更进一步深入了解作品之含义，并使我们得以一窥隐藏在作品内的作者之人生观与宇宙观。《台北人》之人物，可以说囊括了台北都市社会之各阶层：从年迈挺拔的儒将朴公（《梁父吟》）到退休了的女仆顺恩嫂（《思旧赋》），从上流社会的窦夫人（《游园惊梦》）到下流社会的“总司令”（《孤恋花》）。有知识分子，如《冬夜》之余嵚磊教授；有商人，如《花桥荣记》之老板娘；有帮佣工人，如《那血一般红的杜鹃花》之王雄；有军队里的人，如《岁除》之赖鸣升；有社交界名女，如尹雪艳；有低级舞女，如金大班。这些“大”人物、“中”人物与“小”人物，来自中国大陆不同的省籍或都市（上海、南京、四川、湖南、桂林、北平等），他们贫富悬殊，行业各异，但没有一个不背负着一段沉重的、斩不断的往事。而这份“过去”，这份“记忆”，或多或少与中华民国成立到大陆沦陷那段“忧患重重的时代”，有直接的关系。

《围城》是钱钟书所著的长篇小说。第一版于1947年由上海晨光出版公司出版。1949年之后，由于政治等方面的原因，本书长期无法在中国大陆和台湾重印，仅在香港出现过盗印本。1980年由作者重新修订之后，在中国大陆地区由人民文学出版社刊印。此后作者又曾小幅修改过几次。《围城》 自从出版以来，就受到许多人的推崇。由于1949年后长期无法重印，这本书逐渐淡出人们的视野。1960年代，旅美汉学家夏志清在《中国现代小说史》(A History of Modern Chinese Fiction)中对本书作出很高的评价，这才重新引起人们对它的关注。人们对它的评价一般集中在两方面，幽默的语言和对生活深刻的观察。从1990年代开始，也有人提出对本书的不同看法，认为这是一部被“拔高”的小说，并不是一部出色的作品。很多人认为这是一部幽默作品。除了各具特色的人物语言之外，作者夹叙其间的文字也显着机智与幽默。这是本书的一大特色。也有人认为这是作者卖弄文字，语言显得尖酸刻薄。但这一说法并不为大多数人接受。

《京华烟云》是林语堂旅居巴黎时于1938年8月至1939年8月间用英文写就的长篇小说，并题献给“英勇的中国士兵”，英文书名为Moment in Peking，《京华烟云》是它转译为中文后的书名，也有译本将本书译为《瞬息京华》。林语堂原本打算将《红楼梦》译作英文介绍给西方读者，因故未能译成，此后决定仿照《红楼梦》的结构写一部长篇小说，于是写出了《京华烟云》。
小说讲述了北平曾、姚、牛三大家族从1901年义和团运动到抗日战争30多年间的悲观离合和恩怨情仇，并在其中安插了袁世凯篡国、张勋复辟、直奉大战、军阀割据、“五四”运动、“三·一八”惨案、“语丝派”与“现代评论派”笔战、青年“左倾”、二战爆发等历史事件，全景式展现了现代中国社会风云变幻的历史风貌。《京华烟云》自1939年底在美国出版后的短短半年内即行销5万多册，美国《时代》周刊称其“极有可能成为关于现代中国社会现实的经典作品”。

重口味神作，阅读有风险，身体虚弱者勿入！
《搏击俱乐部》作者最黑暗最天才最虐心的神作。
读者在阅读后，不是火到想找作者单挑就是发出凄厉的惨叫或是整个人狂笑不行更有人虚脱到无法出声！
有73人在作者读《肠子》的时候晕倒，晕倒人数还在持续增加中。
本书包含了二十二个恐怖、好 笑，又让你反胃的故事。说这些故事的人都是应一则“作家研习营”的广告而来，却陷入类似“求生”情节的处境中——他们没有暖气，没有电力，没有食物。这些说故事的人越来越绝望时，他们的故事也越来越极端。然而，他们无情地密谋着，让自己成为由他们受苦经验改编而成的实境节目中的主角。这将是你所读过的最令人心里发毛且虐心的小说，唯有恰克·帕拉尼克才能写得出来。
《伊莎贝拉》《志明与春娇》导演彭浩翔鼎力推荐：
本书的精彩程度，是你看后不好意思再告诉朋友，自己也有写小说。它的好，到这个程度时，你不禁要抚心自问，要是这故事掉在你的门口，你能够说得比他更动听吗？那不单单是文笔用字的问题，而是在说故事的过程中，透露资讯的次序和速度，如何在三言两语之间，就把整个画面点出来，并让人有看下去的冲动。
年轻作者总以为每个读者跟他都有血缘关系，非要成为他的忠实崇拜者，每个字都要读完不可，完全没有想过如何吸引人看下去，只是一直在喃喃自语，自渎满纸。满街都是这样的闷作，让恰克·帕拉尼克更见珍贵。

《卧虎藏龙(套装上下册)》叙清末九门提督之女玉娇龙与沙漠大盗罗小虎的爱情悲剧。玉娇龙为了维护家庭的声誉，不得不嫁给鲁翰林，但又始终与罗小虎割不断情丝。不久。玉娇龙假装跳崖殉母，迩出了无爱的家庭。玉娇龙与罗小虎相遇后，悲喜交加，但不愿作盗妇，于是消然离去，独走大漠。<br>江湖文化意识与贵族文化意识的冲突，爱与恨的情感纠葛及其矛盾，使小说中的悲剧蕴涵着对人生的思考和反讽。

柳激煙與「武林五條龍」，相交已近七年。而今金盛煌被殺，柳激煙在情在理，必會全力出手的。至於冷血，冷血又是什麼人呢？冷血只有二十歲，是六扇門裡極年輕的一個人。可是他卻是「四大名捕」裡的一個。「天下四大名捕」，係指：無情、鐵手、追命、冷血四人，連「神捕」柳激煙，」居然都榜上無名。這「天下四大名捕」，都是武林中數一數二的好手，各人有個人過人之能，冷血便是其中之一。

白先勇：“杀夫”这篇小说非常复杂，写人性的不可捉摸，人兽之间剃刀边缘的情形，写得相当大胆，相当的不留情。写没有开放的农业社会中，中国人的阴暗面，把故事架构在原始性的社会里来研究人兽之间的一线之隔，这是篇突破的作品，打破了中国小说很多禁忌，不留情地把人性最深处挖掘出来。
