Pride and Prejudice 豆瓣
作者: [英国] 简·奥斯汀 Penguin Classics 1994 - 2
"It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife."
Next to the exhortation at the beginning of Moby-Dick, "Call me Ishmael," the first sentence of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice must be among the most quoted in literature. And certainly what Melville did for whaling Austen does for marriage--tracing the intricacies (not to mention the economics) of 19th-century British mating rituals with a sure hand and an unblinking eye. As usual, Austen trains her sights on a country village and a few families--in this case, the Bennets, the Philips, and the Lucases. Into their midst comes Mr. Bingley, a single man of good fortune, and his friend, Mr. Darcy, who is even richer. Mrs. Bennet, who married above her station, sees their arrival as an opportunity to marry off at least one of her five daughters. Bingley is complaisant and easily charmed by the eldest Bennet girl, Jane; Darcy, however, is harder to please. Put off by Mrs. Bennet's vulgarity and the untoward behavior of the three younger daughters, he is unable to see the true worth of the older girls, Jane and Elizabeth. His excessive pride offends Lizzy, who is more than willing to believe the worst that other people have to say of him; when George Wickham, a soldier stationed in the village, does indeed have a discreditable tale to tell, his words fall on fertile ground.
Having set up the central misunderstanding of the novel, Austen then brings in her cast of fascinating secondary characters: Mr. Collins, the sycophantic clergyman who aspires to Lizzy's hand but settles for her best friend, Charlotte, instead; Lady Catherine de Bourgh, Mr. Darcy's insufferably snobbish aunt; and the Gardiners, Jane and Elizabeth's low-born but noble-hearted aunt and uncle. Some of Austen's best comedy comes from mixing and matching these representatives of different classes and economic strata, demonstrating the hypocrisy at the heart of so many social interactions. And though the novel is rife with romantic misunderstandings, rejected proposals, disastrous elopements, and a requisite happy ending for those who deserve one, Austen never gets so carried away with the romance that she loses sight of the hard economic realities of 19th-century matrimonial maneuvering. Good marriages for penniless girls such as the Bennets are hard to come by, and even Lizzy, who comes to sincerely value Mr. Darcy, remarks when asked when she first began to love him: "It has been coming on so gradually, that I hardly know when it began. But I believe I must date it from my first seeing his beautiful grounds at Pemberley." She may be joking, but there's more than a little truth to her sentiment, as well. Jane Austen considered Elizabeth Bennet "as delightful a creature as ever appeared in print". Readers of Pride and Prejudice would be hard-pressed to disagree. --Alix Wilber --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Austen is the hot property of the entertainment world with new feature film versions of Persuasion and Sense and Sensibility on the silver screen and Pride and Prejudice hitting the TV airwaves on PBS. Such high visibility will inevitably draw renewed interest in the original source materials. These new Modern Library editions offer quality hardcovers at affordable prices.

Jane Lapotaire, known to American audiences from her many PBS appearances, is a perfect choice to read Jane Austen's comedy of manners. Her rich and varied intonations capture just the right blend of artifice and empathy to recreate not only the lively and playfully witty Elizabeth Bennett and the handsome, albeit conceited, Mr. Darcy, but also the entire gamut of Bennett family members, friends and foes. Amazingly, Lapotaire even manages to conjure memories of the screen's Mr. D', Lawrence Olivier. This is an exquisite audio abridgment of the classic English satire. L.(H.)B.

Great Expectations 豆瓣
作者: Charles Dickens Wordsworth Editions Ltd 1992 - 5
狄更斯(1812~1870)英国小说家,一生共创作了14部长篇小说,许多中、短篇小说和杂文、游记、戏剧、小品。
《远大前程》(又名《孤星血泪》)是狄更斯最成熟的作品之一,是他比较晚期的作品。狄更斯经历了丰富的人间生活后,对人,对周围环境,对自己的生活经历都有了深刻的认识,而所有他成熟的思想认识都汇总在《远大前程》一书中。
Book Description
An unknown benefactor provides Philip Pirrip with the chance to escape his poor upbringing. Aspiring to be a gentleman, and encouraged by his expectations of wealth, he abandons his friends and moves to London. His expectations prove to be unfounded however, and he must return home penniless.
Amazon.com
Dickens considered Great Expectations one of his "little pieces," and indeed, it is slim compared to such weighty novels as David Copperfield or Nicholas Nickleby. But what this cautionary tale of a young man raised high above his station by a mysterious benefactor lacks in length, it more than makes up for in its remarkable characters and compelling story. The novel begins with young orphaned Philip Pirrip--Pip--running afoul of an escaped convict in a cemetery. This terrifying personage bullies Pip into stealing food and a file for him, threatening that if he tells a soul "your heart and your liver shall be tore out, roasted and ate." The boy does as he's asked, but the convict is captured anyway, and transported to the penal colonies in Australia. Having started his novel in a cemetery, Dickens then ups the stakes and introduces his hero into the decaying household of Miss Havisham, a wealthy, half-mad woman who was jilted on her wedding day many years before and has never recovered. Pip is brought there to play with Miss Havisham's ward, Estella, a little girl who delights in tormenting Pip about his rough hands and future as a blacksmith's apprentice.
I had never thought of being ashamed of my hands before; but I began to consider them a very indifferent pair. Her contempt for me was so strong, that it became infectious, and I caught it.
It is an infection that Pip never quite recovers from; as he spends more time with Miss Havisham and the tantalizing Estella, he becomes more and more discontented with his guardian, the kindhearted blacksmith, Joe, and his childhood friend Biddy. When, after several years, Pip becomes the heir of an unknown benefactor, he leaps at the chance to leave his home and friends behind to go to London and become a gentleman. But having expectations, as Pip soon learns, is a two-edged sword, and nothing is as he thought it would be. Like that other "little piece," A Tale of Two Cities, Great Expectations is different from the usual Dickensian fare: the story is dark, almost surreal at times, and you'll find few of the author's patented comic characters and no comic set pieces. And yet this is arguably the most compelling of Dickens's novels for, unlike David Copperfield or Martin Chuzzlewit, the reader can never be sure that things will work out for Pip. Even Dickens apparently had his doubts--he wrote two endings for this novel.  --Alix Wilber
The Merriam-Webster Encyclopedia of Literature
Novel by Charles Dickens, first published serially in All the Year Round in 1860-61 and issued in book form in 1861. The novel was one of its author's greatest critical and popular successes. The first-person narrative relates the coming-of-age of Pip (Philip Pirrip). Reared in the marshes of Kent by his disagreeable sister and her sweet-natured husband, the blacksmith Joe Gargery, the young Pip one day helps a convict to escape. Later he is sent to live with Miss Havisham, a woman driven half-mad years earlier by her lover's departure on their wedding day. Her other ward is the orphaned Estella, whom she is teaching to torment men with her beauty. Pip, at first cautious, later falls in love with Estella, to his misfortune. When an anonymous benefactor makes it possible for Pip to go to London for an education, he credits Miss Havisham. He begins to look down on his humble roots, but nonetheless Estella spurns him again and marries instead the ill-tempered Bentley Drummle. Pip's benefactor turns out to have been Abel Magwitch, the convict he once aided, who dies awaiting trial after Pip is unable to help him a second time. Joe rescues Pip from despair and nurses him back to health.
From AudioFile
Great literature can pose problems for narrators. If the book is a classic, the pitfalls are that the listener has a preconceived notion of how the book should sound and, perhaps, how the characters themselves should sound. It is, thus, heartening to listen to Michael Page's narration of Dickens's tale. He sheds new light on the text and shows off his collection of personalities and voices. Page twists his English accent so that the characters have their own unique inflections, laughs and resonance. His voice is slightly nasal but full. He's exceptionally good at setting the tone of this rather wistful novel. And his marvelous diction and pacing make the story vibrant and interesting. R.I.G.
About Author
Charles Dickens was born on February 7, 1812, in Portsmouth, England,where his father was a naval pay clerk. When he was five the family moved to Chatham, near Rochester, another port town. He received some education at a small private school but this was curtailed when his father's fortunes declined. More significant was his childhood reading, which he evoked in a memory of his father's library: 'From that blessed little room, Roderick Random, Peregrine Pickle, Humphrey Clinker, Tom Jones, The Vicar of Wakefield, Don Quixote, Gil Blas and Robinson Crusoe came out, a glorious host, to keep me company. They kept alive my fancy, and my hope of something beyond that place and time.'
When Dickens was ten the family moved to Camden Town, and this proved the beginning of a long, difficult period. (He wrote later of his coach journey, alone, to join his family at the new lodgings: 'I consumed my sandwiches in solitude and dreariness, and it rained hard all the way, and I thought life sloppier than I had expected to find it.') When he had just turned twelve Dickens was sent to work for a manufacturer of boot blacking, where for the better part of a year he labored for ten hours a day, an unhappy experience that instilled him with a sense of having been abandoned by his family: 'No advice, no counsel, no encouragement, no consolation, no support from anyone that I can call to mind, so help me God!' Around the same time Dickens's father was jailed for debt in the Marshalsea Prison, where he remained for fourteen weeks. After some additional schooling, Dickens worked as a clerk in a law office and taught himself shorthand; this qualified him to begin working in 1831 as a reporter in the House of Commons, where he was known for the speed with which he took down speeches.
By 1833 Dickens was publishing humorous sketches of London life in the Monthly Magazine, which were collected in book form as Sketches by 'Boz' (1836). These were followed by the publication in installments of the comic adventures that became The Posthumous Papers of the Pickwick Club (1837), whose unprecedented popularity made the twenty-five-year-old author a national figure. In 1836 he married Catherine Hogarth, who would bear him ten children over a period of fifteen years. Dickens's energies enabled him to lead an active family and social life, including an indulgence in elaborate amateur theatricals, while maintaining a literary productiveness of astonishing proportions. He characteristically wrote his novels for serial publication, and was himself the editor of many of the periodicals—Bentley's Miscellany, The Daily News, Household Words, All the Year Round—in which they appeared. Among his close associates were his future biographer John Forster and the younger Wilkie Collins, with whom he collaborated on fictional and dramatic works. In rapid succession he published Oliver Twist (1838), Nicholas Nickleby (1839), The Old Curiosity Shop (1841), and Barnaby Rudge (1841), sometimes working on several novels simultaneously.
Dickens's celebrity led to a tour of the United States in 1842. There he met Longfellow, Irving, Bryant, and other literary figures, and was received with an enthusiasm that was dimmed somewhat by the criticisms Dickens expressed in his American Notes (1842) and in the American chapters of Martin Chuzzlewit (1844). The appearance of A Christmas Carol in 1843 sealed his position as the most widely popular writer of his time; it became an annual tradition for him to write a story for the season, of which the most memorable were The Chimes (1844) and The Cricket on the Hearth (1845). He continued to produce novels at only a slightly diminished rate, publishing Dombey and Son in 1848 and David Copperfield in 1850; of the latter, his personal favorite among his books, he wrote to Forster: 'If I were to say half of what Copperfield makes me feel tonight how strangely, even to you, I should be turned inside out! I seem to be sending some part of myself into the Shadowy World.'
From this point on his novels tended to be more elaborately constructed and harsher and less buoyant in tone than his earlier works. These late novels include Bleak House (1853), Hard Times (1854), Little Dorrit (1857), A Tale of Two Cities (1859), and Great Expectations (1861). Our Mutual Friend, published in 1865, was his last completed novel, and perhaps the most somber and savage of them all. Dickens had separated from his wife in 1858—he had become involved a year earlier with a young actress named Ellen Ternan—and the ensuing scandal had alienated him from many of his former associates and admirers. He was weakened by years of overwork and by a near-fatal railroad disaster during the writing of Our Mutual Friend. Nevertheless he embarked on a series of public readings, including a return visit to America in 1867, which further eroded his health. A final work, The Mystery of Edwin Drood, a crime novel much influenced by Wilkie Collins, was left unfinished upon his death on June 9,1870, at the age of 58.

麦田里的守望者 豆瓣
The Catcher in the Rye
8.3 (269 个评分) 作者: J·D·塞林格 译者: 孙仲旭 译林出版社 2007 - 3
这本小说一出版,就受到国内青少年的热烈欢迎,认为它道出了自己的心声,一时大、中学校的校园里到处都模仿小说主人公霍尔顿——他们在大冬天身穿风衣,倒戴着红色猎人帽,学着霍尔顿的言语动作。甚至在1960年代初期,外国学者只要跟美国学生一谈到文学,他们就马上提出了《麦田里的守望者》。
《麦田里的守望者》之所以受到重视,不仅是由于作者创造了一种新颖的艺术风格,通过第一人称以青少年的说话口吻叙述全书,更重要了资本主义社会精神文明的实质。人活着除了物质生活外,还要有精神生活,而且在一个比较富裕的社会里,精神生活往往比物质生活更为重要。
主人公是16岁的中学生霍尔顿·考菲尔德是当代美国文学中最早出现的反英雄形象之一,霍尔顿出身中纽约一个富裕的中产阶级家庭。学校里的老师和自己的家长强迫他好好读书,为的是出人头地,以便将来买辆凯迪拉克,而在学校里一天到晚干的,就是谈女人,酒和性,他看不惯周围的一切, 根本没心思用功读书,因而老是挨罚,到他第四次被开除时,他不敢回家。便只身在美国最繁华的纽约城游荡了一天两夜,住小客店,逛夜总会滥交女友他在电影院里百无聊赖地消磨时光,糊里糊涂地召了妓女,情不自禁的与虚荣的女友搂搂抱抱,与此同时,他的内心又十分苦闷,企图逃出虚伪的成人世界去寻批纯洁与真理的经历与感受。这种精神上无法调和的极度矛盾最终令他彻底崩溃,躺倒在精神病院里。

To Kill A Mockingbird
9.3 (122 个评分) 作者: [美国] 哈珀·李 译者: 李育超 译林出版社 2017 - 2
《杀死一只知更鸟》是公认的美国文学经典,而它在教育领域的意义却使其突破了国界,成为世界上最有名的成长小说之一。《杀死一只知更鸟》在西方世界的影响力巨大,是美国中小学的必读书目,图书馆借阅次数最高的图书,以及英国青少年最喜爱的图书,在最近一次民意投票中,它甚至压倒《圣经》,成为“最具启示意义的书”。
《杀死一只知更鸟》的可贵之处在于,它塑造了人类家庭教育的典范,并提供了极具可操作性的实例与示范。和很多要去保持儿童纯净心灵的虚构故事不同,它着力教导孩子如何在磨难中历练风度,在不公平中积累正气,如何在充满丑陋与问题的世界中塑造自己的道德底线,保持精神的体面。除此之外,书中的阿迪克斯这位平民英雄父亲为迷茫的父母提供了一本教育说明书:如何去鉴别孩子的问题,那些是年龄造成的,应该给他们时间去成长,哪些问题又是成长中的关键,是原则问题,必须及时干预;父母应该是什么样一个形象,在复杂的社会中,哪些方面应该去适应去顺应,哪些方面应该坚持自己的立场,哪怕要为此付出代价。
可以说,《杀死一只知更鸟》的课题是永恒的,是突破时代局限的,正是信仰与现实的缠斗,也是创造更好的世界的依据,也是人类对于自身的信心。这是《知更鸟》长盛不衰的原因之一。

An Eye for An Eye:A Global History of Crime and Punishment
作者: [美]米切尔·P.罗斯 译者: 胡萌琦 中信出版集团·见识城邦 2019 - 10
人类自有文明以来,就与暴力、欺骗、骚乱相伴而行。但对于一个简单的问题,“何为罪?”,不同国家地区,不同历史阶段,会给我们相异,甚至相反的解答。而同一种罪行,惩罚的手段、性质及目的,也截然不同。从街头涂鸦到性侵,从连环杀人到公海劫掠及有组织犯罪,《以眼还眼》穿梭于人类历史的隐秘角落,探索对于犯罪的界定及惩戒。立足于不同文明的横览视角,加之以历史文明演进的纵览视角,最终勾勒出全球化视角下罪与罚的当代图景。
米切尔·P.罗斯不仅提醒了我们,在各地区密切交流前,某些罪行及惩罚为人类所共通,还试图向我们证明,原始部落的刑罚并不总比现代方式残酷。相反,在应对现代性问题时,一些传统的刑罚方式可能给我们启发。对比单独监禁,致力于恢复受害者、施害者及社群联系的“修复性司法”可能会更为经济,效果更好。此外,作者讨论了肉刑、囚禁、死刑等种种刑罚的变化与演进,为其在不同地区的废立,做了令人信服的阐释。
