故事梗概:
家人一个接一个离开。从十岁起,她就独自生活在北卡罗来纳州海滨荒凉的湿地中,驾着小船,靠猎捕和收集野物卖给码头的人维生。她只上过一天学,是小镇居民口中的“湿地女孩”,文明社会之外的野姑娘。当镇上最受欢迎的花花公子被发现死在湿地中时,人们立刻将怀疑的目光投向她。
作为天生的 湿地生物学家,她从土地中汲取生活的教训,从萤火虫不诚实的信号中学习世界真正的运行方式。到了渴望触摸和爱的年纪,受到两个来自小镇的年轻人的吸引,她向一种全新的生活开启了心扉……
若干年后,她成了当地的传奇,小镇旅游业的名片。但这本书要讲的并不是一个女孩冲破重重阻碍走向光明的励志故事。荒凉的湿地养育了女孩,也塑造了她。她关于爱情和生活的选择听从的是荒野的召唤,而非文明社会的教导……

编辑推荐:
这本书讲述了一个终生栖息于一片海滨湿地的野女孩的成长故事,诗意而野性。
被家人和社会彻底抛弃是烙在她生命中的不幸,但在另一种意义上也是她独有的幸运。这意味着她也彻底躲开了文明社会对女性的种种规训。她就像湿地中的一只小兽,有美丽的皮毛,也有凌厉的爪牙。湿地养育了她,也塑造了她。她的初恋始于一根大蓝鹭的“眉毛”,她最忠诚的朋友是银鸥和库珀鹰,她关于爱情、婚姻、性和背叛的看法源自对萤火虫、螳螂、火鸡和蛙的观察。她的生活和生长在世俗文明中的我们的生活迥然不同。这种不同为我们提供了一面镜子。

青鸟 豆瓣
8.0 (23 个评分) 作者: [比] 莫里斯·梅特林克 著 / 乔治特·莱勃伦克 改编 译者: 肖俊风 哈尔滨出版社 2003 - 7
《青鸟》是梅特林克的最著名的代表作。原作是直到今天仍在舞台上演出的六幕梦幻剧,后经梅特林克同意,他的妻子乔治特·莱勃伦克将剧本改写成童话故事,以便更适合小读者阅读。改编成的中篇童话《青鸟》在1908年发表。
故事讲述两个伐木工人的孩子,代表人类寻找青鸟的过程。青鸟在这里是幸福的象征。通过他们一路上的经历,象征性地再现了迄今为止,人类为了寻找幸福所经历过的全部苦难。作品中提出了一个对人类具有永恒意义的问题:什么是幸福?但是作品所得出的结论却是出乎意料的:其实幸福并不那么难找,幸福就在我们身边。

1984 豆瓣
作者: [英] 乔治·奥威尔 Plume 1983 - 4
Written in 1948, 1984 was George Orwell's chilling prophecy about the future. And while 1984 has come and gone, Orwell's narrative is more timely that ever. 1984 presents a "negative utopia, " that is at once a startling and haunting vision of the world -- so powerful that it is completely convincing from start to finish. No one can deny the power of this novel, its hold on the imaginations of entire generations of readers, or the resiliency of its admonitions -- a legacy that seems to grow, not lessen, with the passage of time.
Eleanor & Park 豆瓣 Goodreads
6.0 (6 个评分) 作者: Rainbow Rowell St. Martin's Griffin 2013 - 2
Eleanor... Red hair, wrong clothes. Standing behind him until he turns his head. Lying beside him until he wakes up. Making everyone else seem drabber and flatter and never good enough...Eleanor.
Park... He knows she'll love a song before he plays it for her. He laughs at her jokes before she ever gets to the punch line. There's a place on his chest, just below his throat, that makes her want to keep promises...Park.
Set over the course of one school year, this is the story of two star-crossed sixteen-year-olds—smart enough to know that first love almost never lasts, but brave and desperate enough to try.
The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time 豆瓣 Goodreads
The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time
8.4 (25 个评分) 作者: Mark Haddon Vintage 2004 - 5
Mark Haddon's bitterly funny debut novel, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, is a murder mystery of sorts--one told by an autistic version of Adrian Mole. Fifteen-year-old Christopher John Francis Boone is mathematically gifted and socially hopeless, raised in a working-class home by parents who can barely cope with their child's quirks. He takes everything that he sees (or is told) at face value, and is unable to sort out the strange behavior of his elders and peers.
Late one night, Christopher comes across his neighbor's poodle, Wellington, impaled on a garden fork. Wellington's owner finds him cradling her dead dog in his arms, and has him arrested. After spending a night in jail, Christopher resolves--against the objection of his father and neighbors--to discover just who has murdered Wellington. He is encouraged by Siobhan, a social worker at his school, to write a book about his investigations, and the result--quirkily illustrated, with each chapter given its own prime number--is The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time.


Haddon's novel is a startling performance. This is the sort of book that could turn condescending, or exploitative, or overly sentimental, or grossly tasteless very easily, but Haddon navigates those dangers with a sureness of touch that is extremely rare among first-time novelists. The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time is original, clever, and genuinely moving: this one is a must-read. --Jack Illingworth, Amazon.ca--This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

A Game of Thrones
Long ago, in a time forgotten, a preternatural event threw the seasons out of balance. In a land where summers can last decades and winters a lifetime, trouble is brewing. The cold is returning, and in the frozen wastes to the north of Winterfell, sinister and supernatural forces are massing beyond the kingdom’s protective Wall. At the center of the conflict lie the Starks of Winterfell, a family as harsh and unyielding as the land they were born to. Sweeping from a land of brutal cold to a distant summertime kingdom of epicurean plenty, here is a tale of lords and ladies, soldiers and sorcerers, assassins and bastards, who come together in a time of grim omens.
Here an enigmatic band of warriors bear swords of no human metal; a tribe of fierce wildlings carry men off into madness; a cruel young dragon prince barters his sister to win back his throne; and a determined woman undertakes the most treacherous of journeys. Amid plots and counterplots, tragedy and betrayal, victory and terror, the fate of the Starks, their allies, and their enemies hangs perilously in the balance, as each endeavors to win that deadliest of conflicts: the game of thrones.
