张翎写长篇小说的确有许多特色，然而她的中短篇小说也旗鼓相当，毫不逊色。爱情是张翎小说的经，也是纬。《尘世》写的是一个男人与三个女人的故事。际遇鬼使神差，所有应该发生的事情都没有按照善良的愿望发生，所有不该发生的事情却接二连三地发生了。女人可以像花，女人也可以像树。男人最初被花吸引，最终却不可避免地选择了树。《恋曲三重奏》却是一个女人与三个男人的故事。王晓楠在青春岁月里遇到了挚爱张敏，爱情之花虽然灿烂却不免夭折。成了“太空人”的许韶峰使她对生活渐失幻想。然而，她在多伦多遇到的房客章亚龙却带给她一个峰回路转的意外。她的生命在这三个男人组成的恋曲中得到了诠释。在《陪读爹娘》里，爱情却是关于另一个群体的。人生的舞台和聚光灯似乎都是为儿女而设，爹娘从来都是陪衬的，更何况是那些远涉重洋来照顾儿孙的陪读老人。可是在这个故事里，两位陪读老人在看着儿女演出人生戏剧的同肘，自己竟也上演了一出好戏。他们的感情故事在别人看来是水到渠成的事，惊讶的反倒是他们自己。《羊》的基调，却是良善的爱。路得、羊阳是善良的，约翰、保罗祖孙牧师和因心脏病而新婚摔死的黎湘平也是善良的。羊阳和路得都渴望得到阳光，但她们的软弱却驱使她们像“羊”那样任命运宰割，人世的苦难与天堂的瑰丽格格不入却偶尔相通。
不能不提的是张翎的短篇小说《女人四十》。这篇获得“十月文学奖”的小说，六千多字的篇幅中蕴涵了丰富的油画似的色彩。从天上“白花花”的太阳，到颊上“血红”的胭脂，到窗台上的“灰鸽子”，到路口的“红灯”，到办公室的“桃红皮鞋”，到咖啡店“黑的”和“金黄的”蛋糕，以及上面覆盖着“鲜红的草莓、翠绿的香瓜片、紫红的樱桃”，随意而夸张的色彩一路铺垫出一个四十岁女人感慨万千的一天。
张翎身居异地，情发一心，执意要走的似乎是一条纯文学的路。在人心浮躁、“快餐文化”流行的今天，这条路也许不太容易。但是，一个人在精神家园中默默耕种、瓜熟蒂落的日子，大约也其乐融融。

密林裡的暗算、島嶼上的背叛，大歷史疊合著小歷史，交織暈染成畫。
王德威．新序
李 渝．後記
畫卷緩緩展開，
典型的李渝溫州街故事，彷彿台北的清明上河圖：
(王留)公圳、人力車、蜿蜒長巷、黑簷木造日式房舍……
坐落其間唯一一棟西式洋樓中，
在南方的壓抑鬱結裡，《雷雨》式的驚世情節，
猶然如一朵梔子花，舒緩地娓娓展開。
江水悠悠盪開，
緣溪行，忘路之遠近，忽逢桃花林，芳草鮮美，落英繽紛。
故事的源頭來到中國西南密林，奇花異草繁長，夜有猿嘯聲，
彷彿受到吹笛人誘引，數千人入山洞失去蹤影。
戰爭，埋伏，出賣，沼澤，黑夜，月光……
密林裡的暗算、島嶼上的背叛，大歷史疊合著小歷史，交織暈染成畫。
大師們這樣說李渝：
她在招魂『渡引』人物進入故事隧道時，常不止是沈從文黃昏河面上的悲傷與抒情；且奇異地進入一個無比孤獨，他們內心的瘋魔旅程、疾病的長廊。

她對金絲猿傳奇的敘述，直指她對一種獨特的書寫美學與倫理的省思。金絲猿因此成為一個隱喻，既暗示歷史盡頭那靈光一現的遭遇，也點出書寫本身所帶來的神秘而又華麗的冒險。
－王德威
藉由一則中國西南森林中有關金絲猿的傳奇
回顧上個世紀中期以來的家國動亂
據說在很多年前，西南的偏遠地方，曾經發生過一件真相到今天還不明白的案子，為數近千的居民進入山裡，失去了蹤影，再也不見他們出來。有人說，他們像古時候的武陵人之於桃花源一樣，不想回來俗世，也有人說，眾是真遇見聖靈，被接去了天國，才從地面消失的。也有人說，其實他們無非重複了和祖先一樣的命運，被殲滅了。

From novelist and master psychotherapist Irvin Yalom, author of Lying on the Couch and When Nietzsche Wept, comes the world's first accurate group-therapy novel, a mesmerizing story of two men's search for meaning.
At one time or another, all of us have wondered what we'd do in the face of death. Suddenly confronted with his own mortality after a routine checkup, distinguished psychotherapist Julius Hertzfeld is forced to reexamine his life and work. Has he really made an enduring difference in the lives of his patients? And what about the patients he's failed? What has happened to them? Now that he is wiser and riper, can he rescue them yet?
Reaching beyond the safety of his thriving San Francisco practice, Julius feels compelled to seek out Philip Slate, whom he treated for sex addiction some twenty-three years earlier. At that time, Philip's only means of connecting to humans was through brief sexual interludes with countless women, and Julius's therapy did not change that. He meets with Philip, who claims to have cured himself -- by reading the pessimistic and misanthropic philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer.
Much to Julius's surprise, Philip has become a philosophical counselor and requests that Julius provide him with the supervisory hours he needs to obtain a license to practice. In return, Philip offers to tutor Julius in the work of Schopenhauer. Julius hesitates. How can Philip possibly become a therapist? He is still the same arrogant, uncaring, self-absorbed person he had always been. In fact, in every way he resembles his mentor, Schopenhauer. But eventually they strike a Faustian bargain: Julius agrees to supervise Philip, provided that Philip first joins his therapy group. Julius is hoping that six months with the group will address Philip's misanthropy and that by being part of a circle of fellow patients, he will develop the relationship skills necessary to become a therapist.
Philip enters the group, but he is more interested in educating the members in Schopenhauer's philosophy -- which he claims is all the therapy anyone should need -- than he is in their individual problems. Soon Julius and Philip, using very different therapeutic approaches, are competing for the hearts and minds of the group members.
Is this going to be Julius's swan song -- a splintered group and years of good work down the drain? Or will all the members, including Philip, find a way to rise to the occasion that brings with it the potential for extraordinary change? In The Schopenhauer Cure, Irvin Yalom elegantly weaves the true story of Schopenhauer's psychological life throughout the narrative, knitting together fact and fiction to form a compellingly readable tale.

山中人的纯情痴爱，一旦面临着金钱和权力冲刷时，发生着令人震颤的剥落和倾圮，直到化为一滩烂泥。《丈夫》一类文字，寄托了作者深沉而伟大的悲哀。《都市一妇人》诸篇，可见及的是城市人之间一份苦味的甚至是有毒的爱。

彼得·施塔姆，一位如北欧家具般简洁冷峻而又流畅舒适的瑞士作家。《纽约客》这样描述他：如果加缪生活在一个遥远的挪威小渔村也有e—mail的时代，那么他很可能会写出像彼得·施塔姆这样的小说。我们也可以把加缪换成雷蒙德·卡佛。我们也可以这样描述他的代表作《经七年》：如果雷蒙德·卡佛写一部长篇小说，那么很可能就会像这部《经七年》。美好脆弱的爱情，激流暗涌的婚姻，人生的两难与抉择。一幅幅清晰锋利的场景，不动声色的句子散发出寒意，正如小说的题词：光与阴影，使事物成形，《七年》告诉我们：爱与恨，使生命成形。

《迷宫中的将军》成书于八十年代末。作者加西亚·马尔克斯与哥伦比亚、墨西哥以及委内瑞拉的历史学家们一起进行了两年的调查。本作品描写了南美解放者西蒙•玻利瓦尔生命中沿着马格达莱纳河幻影般的最后一趟旅程。这趟旅程在信件与各种各样的回忆录中几乎没被提到，这恰好给了作者在历史真实的范围内创作自己的故事的自由。
作品中，玻利瓦尔在疾病困扰、心灰意冷和种种超出了他的控制的不利条件下，重访了河岸边的城市，重走了见证他起伏辉煌的战绩、满载着他曾经的抱负以及他所遭遇的同路人和遭受的背叛的道路，一直向远方的大西洋奔赴。
与此同时，读者从中可以真正感觉到玻利瓦尔这一历史人物在他的社会地位和政治经济、军事力量乃至作为个人达到最高点时的风貌。将军为了从西班牙独立而进行的斗争接续了他统一拉美大陆的未完成的梦想，然而最终他带着最大的失望和遗憾离开了这个世界。

Nineteen Eighty-Four revealed George Orwell as one of the twentieth century’s greatest mythmakers. While the totalitarian system that provoked him into writing it has since passed into oblivion, his harrowing cautionary tale of a man trapped in a political nightmare has had the opposite fate: its relevance and power to disturb our complacency seem to grow decade by decade. In Winston Smith’s desperate struggle to free himself from an all-encompassing, malevolent state, Orwell zeroed in on tendencies apparent in every modern society, and made vivid the universal predicament of the individual.
(Book Jacket Status: Jacketed)

(Book Jacket Status: Jacketed) A famous legend surrounding the creation of Anna Karenina tells us that Tolstoy began writing a cautionary tale about adultery and ended up falling in love with his magnificent heroine. It is rare to find a reader of the book who doesn’t experience the same kind of emotional upheaval. Anna Karenina is filled with major and minor characters who exist in their own right and fully embody their mid-nineteenth-century Russian milieu, but it still belongs entirely to the woman whose name it bears, whose portrait is one of the truest ever made by a writer.

日本江户时代著名市井小说家——井原西鹤
与周作人齐名的日本古典文学翻译家——钱稻孙
日本文学翻译史上的经典 “浮世草子”的传世译本
本书包括日本江户时代小说家井原西鹤的两部“浮世草子”，皆为描写町人（工商业者）社会现实生 活与风俗人 情的“町人物”。《日本永代藏》收集了商人依靠机智节俭，发家致富的故事；《世间胸算用》刻画了或贫或富的町家度过年关的光景。意在为町人持家、发家提供鉴戒，形象地反映了日本人勤俭节约、精打细算的民族。这类专门的经济题材的小说，在世界古典作品中非常罕见。
西鹤对社会世态观察细致入微，描写细腻，文笔谐谑生动，叙述紧凑。使得人物性格、风俗习惯跃然纸上，节庆祭典、器物衣食也宛如彼一时代的再现。
译者钱稻孙学识渊博，涉猎音乐、戏剧、美术、医学，精通日、意、德、法文；文采与译才兼修，文学素养深厚。译文始终贯彻元明小说的风格，凝练传神；文字风格诡变，遣词用句巧妙，增译补注匠心独运，成就了一个日本文学翻译的高标。

In 1959 Florence Green, a kindhearted widow with a small inheritance, risks everything to open a bookshop - the only bookshop - in the seaside town of Hardborough. By making a success of a business so impractical, she invites the hostility of the town's less prosperous shopkeepers. By daring to enlarge her neighbors' lives, she crosses Mrs. Gamart, the local arts doyenne. Florence's warehouse leaks, her cellar seeps, and the shop is apparently haunted. Only too late does she begin to suspect the truth: a town that lacks a bookshop isn't always a town that wants one.

《相遇》收录格非二十余年来中短篇小说十二篇，是他的最新自选集。
他早年以短篇小说引起文坛瞩目，《迷舟》、《青黄》都是传诵一时的名篇。这些故事以优雅精纯的语言和清晰缜密的细节呈现出无比真实的生活质地感，同时又让微妙难言的意绪如迷雾流淌，仿佛义山诗境。伟大作家的天分从一开始 便显露无疑，并在后来的岁月里持续滋长，衍生出更为完美的作品。
在这个集子里，我们可以看到当代作家对于汉语古典之美最为纯正的继承，也可以看到，曾经托生于博尔赫斯、普鲁斯特的智慧在另一个文学天才身上的再生。题名相遇，既是取篇目之名，也暗示作品中多重影响的自然交融。

A mesmerizing debut novel that spans a thousand years of European and Jewish history seen through the beguiling members of the Spinoza family

Since the eleventh century, the Spinoza family has passed down, from father to son, a secret manuscript containing the recipe for immortality. Now, after thirty-six generations, the last descendant of this long and illustrious chain, Ari Spinoza, doesn’t have a son to whom to entrust the manuscript. From his deathbed, he begins his narrative, hoping to save his lineage from oblivion.

Ari’s two main sources of his family’s history are a trunk of yellowing documents inherited from his grandfather, and his great-uncle Fernando’s tales that captivated him when he was a child. He chronicles the Spinozas’ involvement in some of Europe’s most formative cultural events with intertwining narratives that move through ages of tyranny, creativity, and social upheaval: into medieval Portugal, Grand inquisitor Torquemada’s
Spain, Rembrandt’s Amsterdam, the French Revolution, Freud’s Vienna, and the horrors of both world wars.

The Elixir of Immortality blends truth and fiction as it rewrites European history through comic, imaginative, scandalous, and tragic tales that prove “the only thing that can possibly give human beings immortality on this earth: our ability to remember.”

In the hopeful 1950s, Frank and April Wheeler appear to be a model couple: bright, beautiful, talented, with two young children and a starter home in the suburbs. Perhaps they married too young and started a family too early. Maybe Frank's job is dull. And April never saw herself as a housewife. Yet they have always lived on the assumption that greatness is only just around the corner. But now that certainty is about to crumble.
With heartbreaking compassion and remorseless clarity, Richard Yates shows how Frank and April mortgage their spiritual birthright, betraying not only each other, but their best selves.

The Remains of the Day is a profoundly compelling portrait of the perfect English butler and of his fading, insular world postwar England. At the end of his three decades of service at Darlington Hall, Stevens embarks on a country drive, during which he looks back over his career to reassure himself that he has served humanity by serving ;a great gentleman. ; But lurking in his memory are doubts about the true nature of Lord Darlington's ;greatness ; and graver doubts about his own faith in the man he served. A tragic, spiritual portrait of a perfect English butler and his reaction to his fading insular world in post-war England. A wonderful, wonderful book.

From the highly acclaimed, multiple award-winning Anthony Doerr, the beautiful, stunningly ambitious instant New York Times bestseller about a blind French girl and a German boy whose paths collide in occupied France as both try to survive the devastation of World War II.
Marie-Laure lives with her father in Paris near the Museum of Natural History, where he works as the master of its thousands of locks. When she is six, Marie-Laure goes blind and her father builds a perfect miniature of their neighborhood so she can memorize it by touch and navigate her way home. When she is twelve, the Nazis occupy Paris and father and daughter flee to the walled citadel of Saint-Malo, where Marie-Laure’s reclusive great-uncle lives in a tall house by the sea. With them they carry what might be the museum’s most valuable and dangerous jewel.
In a mining town in Germany, the orphan Werner grows up with his younger sister, enchanted by a crude radio they find. Werner becomes an expert at building and fixing these crucial new instruments, a talent that wins him a place at a brutal academy for Hitler Youth, then a special assignment to track the resistance. More and more aware of the human cost of his intelligence, Werner travels through the heart of the war and, finally, into Saint-Malo, where his story and Marie-Laure’s converge.
Doerr’s “stunning sense of physical detail and gorgeous metaphors” (San Francisco Chronicle) are dazzling. Deftly interweaving the lives of Marie-Laure and Werner, he illuminates the ways, against all odds, people try to be good to one another. Ten years in the writing, All the Light We Cannot See is a magnificent, deeply moving novel from a writer “whose sentences never fail to thrill” (Los Angeles Times).
