50年代的美国，年轻女子特芮丝（鲁妮·玛拉 饰）在纽约百货公司担任售货员，但心中向往的却是摄影师工作。某日，一位美丽优雅的金发贵妇卡罗尔（凯特·布兰切特 饰）来到百货公司购买圣诞节礼物，结果和特芮丝一见投缘。两人相识后特芮丝得知原来卡罗尔有一个女儿，而且正和丈夫哈吉（凯尔·钱德勒 饰）办理离婚手续。通过书信来往、约会相处以及公路旅行，特芮丝和卡罗尔发现彼此就是自己的真爱，然而在当时社会这是不被允许的。特芮丝的男友认为她只是一时迷惑，卡罗尔的丈夫则请私家侦探调查取证，希望在离婚诉讼中让她一无所有。考验两位女性的时刻终于到来了：在社会压力下她们能否坚守内心、不计代价的把感情路走到底？
《卡罗尔》是美国著名独立导演托德·海恩斯的新作，入围第68届戛纳电影节主竞赛单元，获得最佳女主角奖。电影根据派翠西亚·海史密斯在1952年匿名发表的中篇女同小说《盐的代价》改编，由于题材敏感，最初出版社还拒绝发行。之所以叫“盐的代价”，因为在17世纪“盐”还有另一个意思表示女性的情欲。而在本书中它隐喻了女主们的处境：没有爱情就像没有盐的肉；那么为了这份爱，你愿意付出多少代价?

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.

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.

With a new introduction by James Wood
Scobie, a police officer serving in a wartime west-African state, is distrusted — being scrupulously honest and immune to bribery. But then he falls in love, and in so doing, he is forced to betray everything he believes in, with drastic and tragic consequences.

Unabridged on mp3 audio disk. How does good spoil, and how can bad be redeemed? In his penetrating novel The Power and the Glory, Graham Greene explores corruption and atonement through a priest and the people he encounters. In the 1930s one Mexican state has outlawed the Church, naming it a source of greed and debauchery. The priests have been rounded up and shot by firing squad--save one, the whisky priest. On the run, and in a blur of alcohol and fear, this outlaw meets a dentist, a banana farmer, and a village woman he knew six years earlier. For a while, he is accompanied by a toothless man--whom he refers to as his Judas and does his best to ditch. Always, an adamant lieutenant is only a few hours behind, determined to liberate his country from the evils of the church. On the verge of reaching a safer region, the whisky priest is repeatedly held back by his vocation, even though he no longer feels fit to perform his rites: "When he was gone it would be as if God in all this space between the sea and the mountains ceased to exist. Wasn't it his duty to stay, even if they despised him, even if they were murdered for his sake? even if they were corrupted by his example?" As his sins and dangers increase, the broken priest comes to confront the nature of piety and love. Still, when he is granted a reprieve, he feels himself sliding into the old arrogance, slipping it on like the black gloves he used to wear. Greene has drawn this man--and all he encounters--vividly and viscerally. He may have said The Power and the Glory was "written to a thesis," but this brilliant theological thriller has far more mysteries--and troubling ideals--than certainties. --Joannie Kervran Stangeland

ANIMAL FARM
George Orwell's classic satire of the Russian Revolution is an intimate part of our contemporary culture. It is the account of the bold struggle, initiated by the animals, that transforms Mr. Jones's Manor Farm into Animal Farm--a wholly democratic society built on the credo that All Animals Are Created Equal. Out of their cleverness, the pigs Napoleon, Squealer, and Snowball emerge as leaders of the new community in a subtle evolution that proves disastrous. The climax is the brutal betrayal of the faithful horse Boxer, when totalitarian rule is reestablished with the bloodstained postscript to the founding slogan: But some Animals Are More Equal Than Others. . . .
1984
In 1984, London is a grim city where Big Brother is always watching you and the Thought Police can practically read your mind. Winston is a man in grave danger for the simple reason that his memory still functions. Drawn into a forbidden love affair, Winston finds the courage to join a secret revolutionary organization called The Brotherhood, dedicated to the destruction of the Party. Together with his beloved Julia, he hazards his life in a deadly match against the powers that be.
