Moment in Peking[京华烟云]
《京华烟云》是林语堂旅居巴黎时于1938年8月至1939年8月间用英文写就的长篇小说，并题献给“英勇的中国士兵”，英文书名为《Moment in Peking》，《京华烟云》是它转译为中文后的书名，也有译本将本书译为《瞬息京华》。林语堂原本打算将《红楼梦》译作英文介绍给西方读者，因故未能译成，此后决定仿照《红楼梦》的结构写一部长篇小说，于是写出了《京华烟云》。《京华烟云》讲述了北平曾、姚、牛三大家族从1901年义和团运动到抗日战争 30多年间的悲观离合和恩怨情仇，并在其中安插了袁世凯篡国、张勋复辟、直奉大战、军阀割据、“五四”运动、“三·一八”惨案、“语丝派”与“现代评论派”笔战、青年“左倾”、二战爆发等历史事件，全景式展现了现代中国社会风云变幻的历史风貌。《京华烟云》自1939年底在美国出版后的短短半年内即行销 5万多册，美国《时代》周刊称其“极有可能成为关于现代中国社会现实的经典作品”。文件大小：65M pdf格式 下载要扣除一个点数。
The French Lieutenant's Woman[法国中尉的女人]
Charles Smithson, a fairly intelligent Victorian gentleman engaged to marry a respectable young thing, becomes fascinated by a dark-haired beauty who stands on a breakwater and stares out to sea. Thinking perhaps to help Sarah out of her misery, he falls deeply into her secrets and mystery. I have described him as protagonist and her as antagonist mainly because we see things mostly from his point of view, though she is the center of the narrative. This classic Victorian love story is couched wi

The Crying of Lot 49（拍卖第49号）

She stumbles through a bizarre string of coincidences to try to unravel what may or may not be a mystery. She cannot quite realize her condition....theyll call it paranoia.... Or you are hallucinating it. Or a plot has been mounted against you.... Or you are fantasying some such plot, in which case you are a nut, Oedipa, out of your skull. 1Oedipa struggles
Rabbit Redux[兔子归来][Rabbit series 2]

Rabbit Redux is the second of five John Updike Rabbit novels, all of which focus on their central character Harry Angstrom. In Rabbit Redux, Harry Angstrom - known to all as Rabbit, one of Ameri
Rabbit at Rest[兔子安息][Rabbit series 4]
STANDING amid the tan, excited post-Christmas crowd at the Southwest Florida Regional Airport, Rabbit Angstrom has a funny sudden feeling that what he has come to meet, whats floating in unseen about to land, is not his son Nelson and daughter-in-law Pru and their two children but something more ominous and intimately his: his own death, shaped vaguely like an airplane.《兔子休息了》从侧面描写美国作为一个“后自然”(postnatural)国家，其大地所拥有的资源差不多已被消耗一空了。在小说的结尾，已五十五岁的主人公“兔子”哈利·安斯特罗姆眺望佛罗里达州一处疗养地的风景时，他透过那天堂般的外表，看到其中的衰败和污染。在这

As a boy, he lives to decipher the odors of Paris, and apprentices himself to a prominent perfumer who teaches him the ancient art of mixing prec
White Noise[白噪音]
Amazon.comSomething is amiss in a small college town in Middle America. Something subliminal, something omnipresent, something hard to put your finger on. For example, teachers and students at the grade school are falling mysteriously ill: Investigators said it could be the ventilating system, the paint or varnish, the foam insulation, the electrical insulation, the cafeteria food, the rays emitted by microcomputers, the asbestos fireproofing, the adhesive on shipping containers, the fumes from

Cities of the Plain[边境三部曲之三平原上的城市][Border Trilogy 3]
On a ranch in southeastern Texas, soon after World War II, a group of solitary, inarticulately lonely men gathers to work animals as the sun sets for good on the mythic American West. All of these men nurse losses both personal (siblings or wives) and collective (a shared lifestyle and philosophy). Among them is John Grady Cole, the adolescent hero of the first book in Cormac McCarthys Border trilogy, All the Pretty Horses. John Grady remains the magnificent horseman he always was, and he still
The Crossing[边境三部曲之二穿越][Border Trilogy 2]
The opening section of The Crossing, book two of the Border Trilogy, features perhaps the most perfectly realized storytelling of Cormac McCarthys celebrated career. Like All the Pretty Horses, this volume opens with a teenagers decision to slip away from his familys ranch into Mexico. In this case, the boy is Billy Parham, and the catalyst for his trip is a wolf he and his father have trapped, but that Billy finds himself unwilling to shoot. His plan is to set the animal loose down south
All the Pretty Horses[边境三部曲之一骏马][Border Trilogy 1]
Part bildungsroman, part horse opera, part meditation on courage and loyalty, this beautifully crafted novel won the National Book Award in 1992. The plot is simple enough. John Grady Cole, a 16-year-old dispossessed Texan, crosses the Rio Grande into Mexico in 1949, accompanied by his pal Lacey Rawlins. The two precocious horsemen pick up a sidekick--a laughable but deadly marksman named Jimmy Blevins--encounter various adventures on their way south and finally arrive at a paradisiacal ha
Things Fall Apart[瓦解][生命中不可承受之重]
One of Chinua Achebes many achievements in his acclaimed first novel, Things Fall Apart, is his relentlessly unsentimental rendering of Nigerian tribal life before and after the coming of colonialism. First published in 1958, just two years before Nigeria declared independence from Great Britain, the book eschews the obvious temptation of depicting pre-colonial life as a kind of Eden. Instead, Achebe sketches a world in which violence, war, and suffering exist, but are balanced by a strong sense
The Adventures of Augie March[奥吉·马奇历险记]
Bellows 1953 novel is among the first crop in Penguins new Great Books of the 20th Century series, which will see 15 additional volumes published through January 2000.

The Floating Opera[漂流的歌剧]
The Floating Opera and The End Of The Road are John Barths first two novels. Their relationship to each other is evident not only in their ribald subject matter but in the eccentric characters and bitterly humorous tone of the narratives. Both concern strange, consuming love triangles and the destructive effect of an overactive intellect on the emotions. Separately they give two very different views of a universal human drama.
