《茶花女》为我们塑造了一些生动、鲜明的艺术形象，而其中最突出、最令人难忘的自然是女主人公茶花女玛格丽特。读者们切莫把玛格丽特和阿尔丰西娜·普莱西小姐混为一谈，阿尔丰西娜的身世固然值得同情，但她的的确确是个堕落的女人，用小仲马的话来说，她“既是一个纯洁无瑕的贞女，又是_个彻头彻尾的娼妇”。但玛格丽特却不同，她美丽、聪明而又善良j 虽然沦落风尘，但依旧保持着一颗纯洁、高尚的心灵。她充满热情和希望地去追求真正的爱情生活，而当这种希望破灭之后，又甘愿自我牺牲去成全他人。
这一切都使这位为人们所不齿的烟花女子的形象闪烁着一种圣洁的光辉，以至于人们一提起“茶花女”这三个字的时候，首先想到的不是什么下贱的妓女，而是一位美丽、可爱而又值得同情的女眭。古今中外的文学名著为人们留下了许许多多不朽的艺术形象，而玛格丽特则完全可以跻身其间而毫无愧色。

小说以法国波旁王朝和七月王朝两大时期为背景，描写了一个报恩复仇的故事。法老号大副唐泰斯受船长的临终嘱托，为拿破仑送了一封信，受到两个对他嫉妒的小人的陷害，被打入死牢，狱友法里亚神甫向他传授了各种知识，还在临终前把一批宝藏的秘密告诉了他。他设法越狱后找到了宝藏，成为巨富。从此他化名为基督山伯爵，经过精心策划，报答了他的恩人，惩罚了三个一心想置他于死地的仇人。

《安娜·卡列尼娜》是托尔斯泰第二部里程碑式的长篇小说，创作于 1873—1877年。作品由两条既平行又相互联系的线索构成：一条是安娜与卡列宁、伏伦斯基之间的家庭、婚姻和爱情纠葛；一条是列文和吉娣的爱情生活及列文进行的庄园改革。安娜是一个上流社会的贵妇人，年轻漂亮，追求个性解放和爱情自由，而她的丈夫却是一个性情冷漠的“官僚机器 ”。一次在车站上，安娜和年轻军官伏伦斯基邂逅，后者为她的美貌所吸引，拼命追求。最终安娜堕入情网，毅然抛夫别子和伏伦斯基同居。但对儿子的思念和周围环境的压力使她陷入痛苦和不安中，而且她逐渐发现伏伦斯基并非一个专情的理想人物。在相继失去儿子和精神上最后一根支柱 ——伏伦斯基后，经过一次和伏伦斯基的口角，安娜发现自己再也无法在这个虚伪的社会中生活下去，绝望之余，她选择了卧轨自杀。小说揭露了 19世纪六七十年代俄罗斯上流社会的丑恶与虚伪，同时也表达了作者处在社会转型期时所进行的复杂的道德探索和思想探索。

本卷收入五个各具特色、最具有代表性的爱情题材的中篇小说。名篇《初恋》是以第一人称形式叙述的小说。故事的叙述者，也就是当时只有十六岁的男主人公，爱上了新邻居家的美丽而又活泼的姑娘齐娜依达。但是姑娘反复无常，时而热情奔放，时而冷若冰霜，以致主人公非常不安。后来他发现他的父亲也在跟姑娘秘密约会，他们俩秘而不宣地在追求同一位姑娘。最后闹得母亲也知道了，自然，结果是不欢而散。

一个忠厚、善良、具有自我牺牲精神的年轻人梅什金公爵（即小说中的“白痴”）从国外归来，由于命运的安排被卷进生活的漩涡。他被两个同样十分美丽、非常聪明、蔑视世俗成见的将军女儿阿格拉娅和从小父母双亡被人面兽心的地主收为外室的纳斯塔西娅所爱。由此引起一连串的喜怒哀乐、悲欢离合、冲突、斗争乃至凶杀。

布尔加科夫的代表作，用三条线索讲述一个魔幻现实主义风格的故事：撒旦和随从大闹莫斯科；大师和马格丽特的爱情；大师的小说：耶稣之死。

无所事事的年轻人米歇尔（马丁·拉萨尔 Martin LaSalle 饰）是个蹩脚的小偷，某日在地铁上目睹了一场艺高人胆大的行窃全过程，他被扒手那自信优雅的手法所吸引，开始沉迷于修炼高超的行窃手法。爱读书，坚持虚无主义的米歇尔坚信偷窃是一种手指的芭蕾，一场完美的行窃就像一场精彩的行为艺术。米歇尔与他病重的母亲久未见面，在探望的时候结识了一直照顾着他母亲的邻居珍妮（玛莉卡·格林 Marika Green 饰），漂亮的珍妮唤醒了米歇尔心中沉睡已久的感情。米歇尔被警察盯住了，警长虽然三番五次的给了他改过自新的机会，但米歇尔依旧沉迷于他的“艺术”中无法自拔，很快，米歇尔被捕了。

牵牛（车太贤饰）第一次与她（全智贤饰）邂逅，就毫无浪漫感可言。在地铁上她就语出惊人，喝的醉醺醺的她大声训斥不自觉给老人让座的人，吐完之后就软趴趴地倒了下来。善良的牵牛上前接住，于是就只好背着她到旅馆投宿了。但是好心不一定有好报，牵牛正在好好洗澡时就被冲进来的警察带走了。

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.
