《金锁记》写于1943年，小说描写了一个小商人家庭出身的女子曹七巧的心灵变迁历程。七巧做过残疾人的妻子，欲爱而不能爱，几乎像疯子一样在姜家过了30年。在财欲与情欲的压迫下，她的性格终于被扭曲，行为变得乖戾，不但破坏儿子的婚姻，致使儿媳被折磨而死，还拆散女儿的爱情。"30年来她戴着黄金的枷。她用那沉重的枷角劈杀了几个人，没死的也送了半条命。"
张爱玲在本书中在空前深刻的程度上表现了现代社会两性心理的基本意蕴。她在她那创作的年代并无任何前卫的思想，然而却令人震惊地拉开了两性世界温情脉脉的面纱。主人公曾被作者称为她小说世界中惟一的"英雄"，她拥有着"一个疯子的审慎和机智"，为了报复曾经伤害过她的社会，她用最为病态的方式，"她那平扁而尖利的喉咙四面割着人像剃刀片"，随心所欲地施展着淫威。
作者将现代中国心理分析小说推向了极致，细微地镂刻着人物变态的心理，那利刃一般毒辣的话语产生了令人惊心动魄的艺术效果。《金锁记》在叙述体貌上还借鉴了民族旧小说的经验，明显反映了类似《红楼梦》之类的小说手法已被作者用来表现她所要表现的华洋杂处的现代都市生活。

Who has not dreamed of life on an exotic isle, far away from civilization? Here is the novel which has inspired countless imitations by lesser writers, none of which equal the power and originality of Defoe's famous book. Robinson Crusoe, set ashore on an island after a terrible storm at sea, is forced to make do with only a knife, some tobacco, and a pipe. He learns how to build a canoe, make bread, and endure endless solitude. That is, until, twenty-four years later, when he confronts another human being. First published in 1719, Robinson Crusoe has been praised by such writers as James Joyce, Virginia Woolf, and Samuel Johnson as one of the greatest novels in the English
language.
Daniel Defoe (1660-1731) trained for the ministry, became a political journalist, and finally, to many, became "the father of the English novel." He is also the author of Moll Flanders.

Every night for three years the vengeful King Shahriyar sleeps with a different virgin, executing her next morning. To end this brutal pattern and to save her own life, the vizier's daughter, Shahrazad, begins to tell the king tales of adventure, love, riches and wonder - tales of mystical lands peopled with princes and hunchbacks, the Angel of Death and magical spirits, tales of the voyages of Sindbad, of Ali Baba's outwitting a band of forty thieves and of jinnis trapped in rings and in lamps. The sequence of stories will last 1,001 nights.

Every child knows about Pinocchio, the
wooden puppet who comes to life and
discovers that his nose grows longer
every time he tells a lie - but there is
much more to the original story than that.
Meet the friendly old puppeteer Geppetto
and watch as his creation struggles
through a web of challenges, developing
from an egotistical child into a boy who
understands that others have feelings
too.
Every parent will recognize Pinocchio s
traits - the abhorrence of hypocrisy, the
stubbornness, laziness, and his
propensity to lie and lie, digging a deeper
hole for himself with every word. Collodi s
character is an hilarious psychological
study of the selfishness of childhood, as
well as an addictively well-told story.

Joseph Jacobs collected these fairy stories in the closing days of the nineteenth century. They are engaging brief episodes of fancy and fantasy from the oral tradition, which were designed to engage and fascinate the young mind. In this fast-paced, electronic world where life whizzes and fizzes by, it is a comfort and joy to pause awhile to savour such delights from a simpler and less pressured age. Reading one of these stories is the literary equivalent of stepping into the quiet and majesty of a medieval church or a circle of standing stones. In the twenty-first century there is a renewed appetite for magic, fairies, and fantastic worlds. With Celtic Fairy Tales, we are not only entertained but can also feel the gentle spiritual hand of history resting on our shoulders.
