赫尔曼·黑塞（1877-1962），德国作家，1946年获得诺贝尔文学奖。《在轮下》是作者的早期作品。
小说叙述的故事是：主人公汉斯自幼聪颖过人，勤奋好学，被大家视为神童。他被送入一个神学院学习，受大家庭和社会的影响，他功名心切，在与世隔绝的学校里拼命学习，没有半点空闲，身心健康受到损害。同学赫尔曼生性倔强，蔑视功名，为学校不容；而汉斯觉得只有赫尔曼才是知己。汉斯用功过度，身体衰弱，成绩倒退；学校把这些归罪于赫尔曼。赫尔曼被学校开除，汉斯更感孤单，不时受到老师的训斥和同学的耻笑，之后得了神经衰弱症，使他无法继续学业，只得返回家乡当钳工为生。社会的歧视和生活的失意使他觉得仿佛跌在无情而庞大的车轮下。
这是一部控诉德国旧的教育制度的小说，被认为有浓厚的自传色彩。

《生死场》是萧红一部传世的经典名篇，它对人性、人的生存这一古老的问题进行了透彻而深邃的诠释。这种对人生的生存死亡的思索，超出了同时代的绝大部分作家。鲁迅称它是“北方人民的对于生的坚强，对于死的挣扎”的一幅“力透纸背”的图画。

《生死场》描写一个挣扎着生活的东北村庄，通过生产、生殖、人伦关系，写生命的卑贱：贫困、疾病和死亡；写人性的柔弱和蒙昧，直至无法生存不得不起而反抗。 《呼兰河传》描写了上个世纪三、四十年代东北小镇呼兰(哈尔滨市呼兰县)的风土人情，真实而生动地再现了当地老百姓平凡、卑琐、落后的生活现状和得过且过、平庸、愚昧的精神状态。

Emma , first published in 1816, was written when Jane Austen was at the height of her powers. In a novel remarkable for its sparkling wit and modernity, Austen presents readers with two of literature’s greatest comic creations—the eccentric Mr. Woodhouse and that quintessential bore, Miss Bates. Here, too, we have what may well be Jane Austen’s most profound characterization: the witty, imaginative, self-deluded Emma, a heroine the author declared “no one but myself will much like,” but who has been much loved by generations of readers. Delightfully funny, full of rich irony, Emma is regarded as one of Jane Austen’s finest achievements.

For over 150 years, Pride And Prejudice has remained one of the most popular novels in the English language. Jane Austen herself called this brilliant work her "own darling child." Pride And Prejudice , the story of Mrs. Bennet's attempts to marry off her five daughters is one of the best-loved and most enduring classics in English literature. Excitement fizzes through the Bennet household at Longbourn in Hertfordshire when young, eligible Mr. Charles Bingley rents the fine house nearby. He may have sisters, but he also has male friends, and one of these—the haughty, and even wealthier, Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy—irks the vivacious Elizabeth Bennet, the second of the Bennet girls. She annoys him. Which is how we know they must one day marry. The romantic clash between the opinionated Elizabeth and Darcy is a splendid rendition of civilized sparring. As the characters dance a delicate quadrille of flirtation and intrigue, Jane Austen's radiantly caustic wit and keen observation sparkle.

Book Description
The Wordsworth Classics covers a huge list of beloved works of literature in English and translations. This growing series is rigorously updated, with scholarly introductions and notes added to new titles.
Jude Fawley is a rural stone mason with intellectual aspirations. Frustrated by poverty and the indifference of the academic institutions at the University of Christminster, his only chance of fulfilment seems to lie in his relationship with his unconventional cousin, Sue Bridehead.
From Library Journal
Jude the Obscure created storms of scandal and protest for the author upon its publication. Hardy, disgusted and disappointed, devoted the remainder of his life to poetry and never wrote another novel. Today, the material is far less shocking. Jude Fawley, a poor stone carver with aspirations toward an academic career, is thwarted at every turn and is finally forced to give up his dreams of a university education. He is tricked into an unwise marriage, and when his wife deserts him, he begins a relationship with a free-spirited cousin. With this begins the descent into bleak tragedy as the couple alternately defy and succumb to the pressures of a deeply disapproving society. Hardy's characters have a fascinating ambiguity: they are victimized by a stern moral code, but they are also selfish and weak-willed creatures who bring on much of their own difficulties through their own vacillations and submissions to impulse. The abridgment speeds Jude's fall to considerable dramatic effect, but it also deletes the author's agonizing logic. Instead of the meticulous weaving of Jude's destiny, we get a somewhat incoherent summary that preserves the major plot points but fails to draw us into the tragedy. Michael Pennington reads resonantly and skillfully, his voice perfectly matching the grim music of Hardy's prose, but this recording can only be recommended for larger public libraries.

From AudioFile
Author Thomas Hardy espoused Shakespeare's dictum (from King Lear): "As flies to wanton boys are we to the gods; they kill us for their sport." He particularly exhibits this pessimism in Jude the Obscure, his tragedy about Jude Fawley, a stonemason torn by ambitions both intellectual and carnal, and Sue Whitehead, an early feminist whom Jude loves and who sometimes loves Jude. A compelling novel is made more so in this audio version by the outstanding work of Frederick Davidson. Always dependable, Davidson here excels in his use of measured dramatics; his consistent differentiation of a large cast of characters from varying social, educational and, therefore, dialectal groups; and his obvious personal involvement in the miseries of the two main characters.

The Merriam-Webster Encyclopedia of Literature
Novel by Thomas Hardy, published in 1894-95 in Harper's New Monthly as Hearts Insurgent; published in book form in 1895. Hardy's last work of fiction, Jude the Obscure is also one of his most gloomily fatalistic, depicting the lives of individuals who are trapped by forces beyond their control. Jude Fawley, a poor villager, wants to enter the divinity school at Christminster (Oxford University). Sidetracked by Arabella Donn, an earthy country girl who pretends to be pregnant by him, Jude marries her and is then deserted. He earns a living as a stonemason at Christminster; there he falls in love with his independent-minded cousin, Sue Bridehead. Out of a sense of obligation, Sue marries the schoolmaster Phillotson, who has helped her. Unable to bear living with Phillotson, she returns to live with Jude and eventually bears his children out of wedlock. Their poverty and the weight of society's disapproval begin to take a toll on Sue and Jude; the climax occurs when Jude's son by Arabella hangs Sue and Jude's children and himself. In penance, Sue returns to Phillotson and the church. Jude returns to Arabella and eventually dies miserably. The novel's sexual frankness shocked the public, as did Hardy's criticisms of marriage, the university system, and the church. Hardy was so distressed by its reception that he wrote no more fiction, concentrating solely on his poetry.

Widely regarded as one of Edith Wharton's greatest achievements, The Age of Innocence is not only subtly satirical, but also a sometimes dark and disturbing comedy of manners in its exploration of the 'eternal triangle' of love. Set against the backdrop of upper-class New York society during the 1870s, the author's combination of powerful prose combined with a thoroughly researched and meticulous evocation of the manners and style of the period, has delighted readers since the novel's first publication in 1920. In 1921 The Age of Innocence achieved a double distinction - it won the Pulitzer Prize and it was the first time this prestigious award had been won by a woman author.

简单地说《交错的彼岸》是一个身在加拿大的温州女子写的两个温州女子在加拿大的故事，复杂地说就很是复杂了。首先可以说这是一部侦探小说，因为它具备了侦探小说的一切条件。小说一开始就是女主人公黄蕙宁神秘地失踪，然后就有一个才华出众的女记者介入了此案。随着调查的深入，女主人公黄蕙宁的出身、家世与个人命运被抽丝剥茧般地呈现在读者的面前。而在调查的过程中，女记者与警官的感情似乎也到了瓜熟蒂落的程度。这时，黄蕙宁失踪之谜也揭开了。但这个结果大出读者之意外，有点令人啼笑皆非的意味。这时，也就看出了作者仅仅是借用了侦探小说的技术形式来讲述她想讲述的故事。
也可以说这是一部家族小说，因为事实上作者用多重的视角讲述了中国南方的金氏家族和美国加州酿酒业大亨汉福雷家族的故事。这两个家族的故事通过女记者的个人生活和她的调查紧密地串联在一起。
说这是一部寻根的小说也没有错。首先是作家用写作在寻找自己的根，或者说她把写作当作了回归故乡和进入故乡历史之旅。不敢说书中的女主人公身上有作者的影子，但作者起码是调动了许多的亲身经验塑造了自己的主人公。我想起码是在她创作这部小说的日子里，她的身体生活在加拿大，她的精神却漫游在她的故乡温州和温州的历史里。
毫无疑问这也是一部留学生小说。凡是在海外的人写的小说，都算留学生小说，这种划分的方式其实并不科学。因为事实上许多在海外写小说的人并不是什么留学生，即便是确凿的留学生身份，写出来的小说内容还是他们在国内时所经历过的或是听说的那点事。像张翎这样能够把中国的故事和外国的故事天衣无缝地缀连在一起的作家并不是很多。

一回頭，女孩的笑顏，讓男孩魂縈夢繫了八年，羈絆了一生。

《严歌苓作品集:扶桑(全新修订版)》是一部大胆、性感得令人激动的情爱小说——神秘莫测的感情，错综复杂的冲突——乡间女子扶桑跟随大批到海外谋生的劳工来到美国旧金山，她所要面临的绝不仅仅只是生计的艰难。为生活所迫，她只能倚门卖笑从事皮肉生意，却也因此与美国少年克里斯产生了一段纠结的爱情。扶桑当然不是灰姑娘，所以故事的结局必然不会落入童话故事的俗套，一幅幅既柔情又惨烈的生动画面亦由此展开。

故事发生在上海房价飙升时期。主人公海萍与丈夫苏淳下决心离开租住了5年的10平米的小屋，买一套属于自己的房子，却发觉“攒钱的速度永远赶不上房价上涨的速度”。况且儿子吃奶粉要花钱，穿纸尿裤也要花钱，“进出口双向收费，比中国移动还狠”，郁闷与争执成了这对白领夫妻每一天的家常便饭。海萍在丈夫面前淑女变悍妇，哀叹“是这个没用的男人给了我做泼妇的能量”。海萍的妹妹海藻一边帮忙筹钱，一边为姐姐的转变感到心痛，“婚姻是爱情的坟墓，房子是婚姻的坟墓。”等到他们终于筹齐首付，在上海郊区挑中一套两居室，手机上竟收到“江苏移动欢迎您”的短信。即便如此，海萍依然能举出一长串理由说服苏淳买下这套房子，并要在20年内还清贷款。“如果30年才还完，利息都要滚出一套房子来了。”……

《邮购新娘》一书可以有多种读法。从娱乐的角度来读，这是一本关于男女之情的书。各式各样的，中国的，外国的；知识分子的，小市民的。书里的男和女都走了很多的路，造化弄人，却始终没能走到一起。那路，那走法，那结局，好看，也揪心。从历史的角度来读，《邮购新娘》写了一个家族三代女人的故事。在女人的故事里，历史只是时隐时现的背景。历史是陪衬女人的，女人却拒绝陪衬历史。女人的每一个故事都是与历史无言的抗争。女人的争战有时赢，有时输。输的和赢的又不以女人的意志为转移地成为新的历史。
从社会学的角度来读，《邮购新娘》涉及了一个迁徙的故事。寻找机会实现自身价值似乎是世界上所有种族的移民原因，只不过这个普通的移民故事具有一个略微复杂一些的包装。一个鳏夫，一个邮购新娘，一个在欲望与道义之间挣扎的牧师，一个有可能成为冷静的旁观者却偏偏没有这样做的干洗店老板。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都阴差阳错接二连三地发生了。于是，故事的结尾也只能是那样的结尾。
从文化的角度来读，《邮购新娘》是一部关于寻找的小说。寻找家园，寻找归属，寻找慰藉。寻找的内容也许因人而异，寻找的模式却总是相同的：以希望开始，以失望终结。寻找的过程中不可避免地要摧毁一些固有的，建立一些新异的。所以寻找的过程也就是摧毁的过程，失落的过程，忏悔的过程。
《邮购新娘》从结构上来说，它由一个引子、八个章节和一个尾声组成。每个章节有其独立于其他章节的完整故事情节，而各个章节又与其他章节共同构成了全书的系统情节。如果整部小说展现的是一段上下贯穿一世纪东西跨越两大洲的故事每个章节就是这个大版图上的小方块。章节是以时空交错的方式排列，只有读完全书才能拼出一个完整的版图。故事的悬念是一个叫江涓涓的女子所可能具有的多种身世和她可能进入的各种结局。在阅读的过程里，悬念充当了毒品的角色，揪着读者一步一步不知不觉地步人作者预先设定的结局。

这是一个现代都市人在婚姻纠葛中重塑自我的动人故事。一向循规蹈矩的医生刘云，遭受丈夫耿林有了外遇的打击而丧失理智；而青春、酒脱的娄红（即电视中的娄嘉仪）爱上耿林，却只是充当苟苟且且的"第三者"；他们因情而怨，因爱而恨，并在爱恨交加的痛苦中重新打量自己和认识人生。小说在对爱情的残废与新生的交叉描写中，真实而生动地揭示了九十年代人们正在历经着情感困境与精神现状。引人的情节描写，让人荡气回肠，敏锐的感觉触摸，让人心惊肉跳。

Sometimes only remembered for the epic motion picture and "Frankly ... I don't give a damn," Gone with the Wind was initially a compelling and entertaining novel. It was the sweeping story of tangled passions and the rare courage of a group of people in Atlanta during the time of Civil War that brought those cinematic scenes to life. The reason the movie became so popular was the strength of its characters--Scarlett O'Hara, Rhett Butler, and Ashley Wilkes--all created here by the deft hand of Margaret Mitchell, in this, her first novel.

《豺狼的日子》内容为：一九六三年，一名杀手受雇刺杀法国总统夏尔·戴高乐，除了“豺狼”这个代号，全世界任何情报组织都对此人一无所知。刺杀戴高乐只有百分之一的可能，但对于“豺狼”这样的顶尖高手来说，这已经是百分之百的胜算。他杀人无数，从未失手；他身手非凡，冷酷无情。对来他说，唯一的准则是就是杀手的职业准则，最大的敌人就是还活着的目标。
每次“豺狼”都能领先一步，逃出警方布下的罗网。面对危险之极、高深莫测的“豺狼”，整个法国警方都束手无策，只能寄希望于一位低级别的警长，因为每个人都知道他实际上身怀绝技。
历史的命运维系在两个人之间这场尊严与智力的较量之中。
