9.3 (64 个评分) 作者: [丹麦]金·弗珀兹·艾克松/文 / [瑞典]爱娃·艾瑞克松/图 译者: 彭懿 湖北美术出版社 2007
《爷爷变成了幽灵》以平淡的语气表达浓浓的祖孙之情。书中朴实、淡彩的图画,不但感受不到死亡的可怕,反而从中找到了渲泻感情的出口。在感动之余,我们能感受到的是更多的对亲情的怀念与感悟。
The Princess Diaries, Volume I 豆瓣
作者: Meg Cabot Listening Library (Audio) 2005 - 7
Mia must take princess lessons from her dreaded grandmere, the dowager princess of Genovia, who thinks Mia has a thing or two to learn before she steps up to the throne.
Well, her father can lecture her until he's royal-blue in the face about her princessly duty - no way is she moving to Genovia and leaving Manhattan behind.

Letters from Father Christmas 豆瓣
作者: J. R. R. Tolkien HarperCollins 2009 - 10
The first ever B-format edition of Tolkien's complete Father Christmas letters, including a new introduction and rare archive materials. Every December an envelope bearing a stamp from the North Pole would arrive for J.R.R.Tolkien's children. Inside would be a letter in strange spidery handwriting and a beautiful coloured drawing or some sketches. The letters were from Father Christmas. They told wonderful tales of life at the North Pole: how all the reindeer got loose and scattered presents all over the place; how the accident-prone Polar Bear climbed the North Pole and fell through the roof of Father Christmas's house into the dining-room; how he broke the Moon into four pieces and made the Man in it fall into the back garden; how there were wars with the troublesome horde of goblins who lived in the caves beneath the house! Sometimes the Polar Bear would scrawl a note, and sometimes Ilbereth the Elf would write in his elegant flowing script, adding yet more life and humour to the stories. No reader, young or old, can fail to be charmed by the inventiveness and 'authenticity' of Tolkien's Letters from Father Christmas. To mark ten years since the publication of the complete edition of Tolkien's Letters from Father Christmas in 1999, this new edition is the first time the letters have been available in B format.

The Virgin's Lover 豆瓣
作者: Philippa Gregory 2005 - 4
Sumptuous historical novel from bestselling author of THE OTHER BOLEYN GIRL and THE QUEEN'S FOOL Elizabeth I has acceded to the throne of England, a position she has waited and schemed for all her life. She is surrounded by advisers, all convinced that a young woman cannot form political judgements. Elizabeth feels that she can rely on just one man: her oldest friend, Robert Dudley. It is soon plain that he is more than merely a friend. In a house in the countryside waits a very different woman, Amy Robsart -- Robert's wife. She has no taste for life at court and longs for the day when her husband will return home. She has loved him since she was a girl, but now they are adults she hardly sees him. Meanwhile, the pressure grows for Elizabeth to marry, for it is unthinkable that a queen should rule on her own. Elizabeth's preference is clear, but he is unavailable. But what if the unthinkable were to happen! Philippa Gregory blends passion, personalities and politics in this stunning novel of the Tudor court and a country divided.
The Constant Princess 豆瓣
作者: Philippa Gregory Touchstone 2006 - 8
""I am Catalina, Princess of Spain, daughter of the two greatest monarchs the world has ever known...and I will be Queen of England.""Thus, bestselling author Philippa Gregory introduces one of her most unforgettable heroines: Katherine of Aragon. Known to history as the Queen who was pushed off her throne by Anne Boleyn, here is a Katherine the world has forgotten: the enchanting princess that all England loved. First married to Henry VIII's older brother, Arthur, Katherine's passion turns their arranged marriage into a love match; but when Arthur dies, the merciless English court and her ambitious parents -- the crusading King and Queen of Spain -- have to find a new role for the widow. Ultimately, it is Katherine herself who takes control of her own life by telling the most audacious lie in English history, leading her to the very pinnacle of power in England.Set in the rich beauty of Moorish Spain and the glamour of the Tudor court, "The Constant Princess" presents a woman whose constancy helps her endure betrayal, poverty, and despair, until the inevitable moment when she steps into the role she has prepared for all her life: Henry VIII's Queen, Regent, and commander of the English army in their greatest victory against Scotland.
The Lovely Bones 豆瓣
作者: Alice Sebold Back Bay Books 2009 - 9
Once in a generation a novel comes along that taps a vein of universal human experience, resonating with readers of all ages. THE LOVELY BONES is such a book -- a #1 bestseller celebrated at once for its artistry, for its luminous clarity of emotion, and for its astonishing power to lay claim to the hearts of millions of readers around the world.
"My name was Salmon, like the fish; first name, Susie. I was fourteen when I was murdered on December 6, 1973."
So begins the story of Susie Salmon, who is adjusting to her new home in heaven, a place that is not at all what she expected, even as she is watching life on earth continue without her -- her friends trading rumors about her disappearance, her killer trying to cover his tracks, her grief-stricken family unraveling. Out of unspeakable tragedy and loss, THE LOVELY BONES succeeds, miraculously, in building a tale filled with hope, humor, suspense, even joy.
The major motion picture version of THE LOVELY BONES, directed by Peter Jackson and starring Rachel Weisz, Susan Sarandon, Mark Wahlberg, Stanley Tucci, and Saoirse Ronan is scheduled for release on December 11, 2009.

莫雷尔的发明 豆瓣
7.5 (19 个评分) 作者: 阿道夫•比奥伊•卡萨雷斯 译者: 赵英 人民文学出版社 2012 - 4
我要向全人类证明,这世界是所有逃亡者的地狱。
小说主人公为躲避警方追捕,来到一座偏僻的孤岛上,从此踏入一段交错的时空;在这个有着两个太阳和两个月亮的奇妙世界中,他遭遇了一群神秘人物,他们在岛上的生活循环往复,周而复始,仿佛某种无止境的轮回。逃亡者爱上了其中一名叫福斯蒂妮的女子,然而最终发现她的世界于自己可见却不可及。为接近自己的所爱,他必须利用科学家莫雷尔留下的发明,为追求灵魂的永恒牺牲一切……
小说集丰富的想象、周密的逻辑和纤细浪漫的叙述风格为一体,兼具斯蒂文森的科幻悬疑与爱伦•坡的幽暗神秘,是西语幻想文学的巅峰之作。小说出版后的几十年来曾多次被改编为电影,并为多部影视剧提供了灵感来源,2004年以来在美国大获成功的电视剧《迷失》(LOST)亦深受该书影响。
门萨的娼妓 豆瓣
7.6 (50 个评分) 作者: [美] 伍迪·艾伦 译者: 孙仲旭 生活·读书·新知三联书店 2004
作为当今世界独树一帜的喜剧电影大师,伍迪・艾伦的幽默天赋是与生俱来的。他15岁就开始为报纸写专栏,有一段时间还自编自演“单口相声”(Stand up comedian),此后数十年至今,他挥霍着自己的幽默气质,编笑话和搞笑故事,写散文、小说和剧本(作品曾入选1989年由伊夫林・豪主编的《犹太美国短篇小说选》),拍电影更是让他功成名就。
伍迪・艾伦式幽默带有明显的纽约知识分子风格,他以荒诞不经、插科打诨的方式与这个世界开玩笑:颠覆传统价值,戏仿经典文本,各种时髦的学院派理论与方法更是被挖苦得入木三分、尖刻不留余地。他似乎总与知识分子作对,然而那些神经质的、自私自恋又敏感多疑的可笑形象背后,分明有着自我的身影――伍迪分身有术,他从不忘记拔光羽毛,幽自己一默。这是他的睿智所在,自以为是的法国人也因此称他为美国电影界惟一的知识分子。
本书结集自伍迪・艾伦发表于《纽约客》、《新共和》等刊物上的各类文章,曾由兰登书屋以三册单行本出版(《扯平》,1971;《不长羽毛》,1975;《副作用》,1980),长销不衰。喜爱伍迪・艾伦电影的读者定会在本书中发现他诡异的文学天赋,从而能更好地理解和欣赏被他轻轻拧松了螺丝的世界究竟是怎样的可笑又可悲。

等到她再次睁开双眼,周围的事物、时间和记忆都发生了奇妙的变化,不可思议的事一件接着一件······
