This heartwarming story has beckoned generations of readers into the special world of Green Gables, an old-fashioned farm outside a town called Avonlea. Anne Shirley, an eleven-year-old orphan, has arrived in this verdant corner of Prince Edward Island only to discover that the Cuthberts—elderly Matthew and his stern sister, Marilla—want to adopt a boy, not a feisty redheaded girl. But before they can send her back, Anne—who simply must have more scope for her imagination and a real home—wins them over completely. A much-loved classic that explores all the vulnerability, expectations, and dreams of a child growing up, Anne of Green Gables is also a wonderful portrait of a time, a place, a family… and, most of all, love.

【“任何人遇到挫折的时候，都能够从这里得到新的勇气。”】 【内容简介】 《鹿苑长春》由美国作家玛·金·罗琳斯创作于1938年，根据佛罗里达林区一位老人的童年回忆创作改编，发行后登上美国畅销书榜首并持续140周，于次年获得普利策文学奖。至今，在美国累计阅读量达到5.5亿。至今，该小说被翻译成20种语言，在133个国家出版，受到不同地域和文化人们的喜爱。在1946年被米高梅公司拍摄成电影，获得奥斯卡最佳艺术指导奖和最佳摄影奖。 故事讲述美国南北战争后佛罗里达垦荒区普通人的劳动、斗争和悲欢离合。主人公巴克斯特一家生活在佛罗里达岛地过着自给自足的农耕狩猎生活，所处的自然美景中是一幅生动绚丽的丛林画卷，该作品后被誉为描绘少年时代的经典童年诗歌。然而，它却是一本全年龄段读本，书中透出的森林清新气息和舒缓节奏，与当代都市生活迥然不同。其中有惊险的狩猎、奇妙的自然景观、悠然的乡村美景，还有风趣幽默的人物对话，以及充满泥土气息的方言。书中人们为了生存这一简单目的，持有着最质朴的勇气和信念。 孩子们可以从书中读到激动人心的狩猎，看见原野林莽、飞鸟起落、狼踪熊迹、暴雨狂风，进入乔迪的世界，与他共度被爸爸精心呵护、无忧无虑的童年。成年人，尤其是经历过离合悲欢、人世艰难的人，都能从书中读出欢笑、甜蜜、惆怅和感伤。 【编辑推荐】 《鹿苑长春》是一部经典的动物文学与环境文学著作。 故事发生在美国南北战争结束后的垦荒时代，讲述与父母生活在佛罗里达岛地的男孩乔迪与一岁小鹿间的故事。 爸爸在牧师家庭长大，正直善良，从不说谎，因经历战争后，厌倦了与人相处的世俗，带着妻子奥拉远离城镇，选择佛罗里达的巴克斯特岛地，过着狩猎农耕的生活。家中的生计依赖于自然选择，时常受到岛地周围野兽的威胁，尤其是经常出没偷食家畜的棕熊“大笨脚”。 因为自然环境的严酷，夫妻两人连续夭折了3个孩子，以至于乔迪诞生后，妈妈奥拉因为遭遇太多次失去，对儿子不抱有太多疼爱，也许是向现实的冷酷低头，看待事物抱有异常冷漠的清醒。爸爸彭尼从小在家中担起大梁，了解天真无邪的珍贵，反而给乔迪加倍的疼爱，试图延长乔迪无忧无虑的童年。在丛林里，有变幻的迷人风光，也有让人惊叹的动物奇观。乔迪一直喜欢听猎人讲在狩猎途中的奇遇，期待着自己与动物的亲近。 他跟着爸爸狩猎，追踪“大笨脚”，爬在树上看鹿妈妈带着小鹿啃食树叶，与爸爸抓到罕见的白色浣熊、在克拉克莎草丛中钓鱼，遇到高鸣鹤跳沙龙舞；他跟着巴克.福利斯特在月光下的玉米地里猎狐，去松树干掏蜂蜜；与好友“草翅膀”喂养小浣熊、欧洲灰雀，一起看西班牙人后裔穿过古栈道，一起数天上米诺鱼般的星星……生活就像他给自己在灰岩坑水塘边造的小水车，随着时间的流水，悠然转动，奏出欢快的乐章，似乎没有停下来的理由。 然而乔迪作为独子，在偏远岛地，一直是孤寂的。他希望能像爸爸彭尼一样拥有只对自己忠诚的宠物。因为口粮不足，妈妈却一直拒绝驯养动物。直到有一天，在乔迪跟随爸爸追踪走失家猪的途中，遭遇危机，也遇到了那头刚出生不久的小鹿…… 故事讲失去，也讲成长；讲孤独，也讲爱与宽容。每个人也许会从中找到真挚的共鸣，遗憾和怅惘，但更多的是，是勇气。 【名人推荐】 “谈到近人的作品，说「不朽」总彷佛还太早，然而《鹿苑长春》在近代文学上的地位已经奠定了。《鹿苑长春》里面出现的动物比人多──鹿、响尾蛇、八字脚的老熊、牛、马、猪──像一个动物园，但是里面的人物，尤其是那男孩子乔迪，是使人永远不能忘记的。 那孩子失去了他最心爱的东西，使他受到很深的刺激，然而他从此就坚强起来，长大成人了。我们仔细回味，就可以觉得这不止于是一个孩子的故事，任何人遇到挫折的时候，都能够从这里得到新的勇气。 这故事具有真正的悲剧的因素──无法避免，也不可挽回。书中对于儿童心理有非常深入的描写，可以帮助做父母的人了解自己的子女。写父爱也发掘到人性的深处。 它是健康的，向上的，但也许它最动人的地方是与东方的心情特别接近的一种淡淡的哀愁。最后的两段更是充满了一种难堪的怅惘，我译到这里的时候，甚至于译完之后重抄一遍，抄到这里的时候，也都是像第一次读到一样地觉得非常感动，眼睛湿润起来。我相信许多读者一定也有同感。” ——张爱玲 【媒体推荐】 在罗琳斯女士之前，还没有谁创造出如此栩栩如生且亲近读者的一系列形象，其亲密的感情感染人，不禁令人产生共鸣。 ——纽约时报 “Never before has Mrs. Rawlings created a set of characters who are so close and real to the reader, whose intimate life one can share without the taint of unconscious patronage." (The New York Times) 惊心动魄的探险和令人怅惘的人性元素……这是一部不愧于普利策奖桂冠的经典作品，故事质朴的语言和四季变化下的生态智慧，都给予这本书一种独特而难忘的气质。而画家N.C.韦思也以温暖、柔和的插图，恰到好处地捕捉到那个垦荒时代的粗莽和淳美。 ——亚马逊网站 “Heart-stopping adventure and heart-wrenching human element…. This is a classic well worth its Pulitzer Prize. Earthy dialect and homespun wisdom season the story, giving it a unique and unforgettable flavor, and N.C. Wyeth's warm, soft illustrations capture an era of rough subsistence and sweet survival.” (Amazon.com)

The Call of the Wild is a short adventure novel by Jack London published in 1903 and set in Yukon, Canada during the 1890s Klondike Gold Rush, when strong sled dogs were in high demand. The central character of the novel is a dog named Buck. The story opens at a ranch in Santa Clara Valley, California, when Buck is stolen from his home and sold into service as a sled dog in Alaska. He becomes progressively feral in the harsh environment, where he is forced to fight to survive and dominate other dogs. By the end, he sheds the veneer of civilization, and relies on primordial instinct and learned experience to emerge as a leader in the wild.

In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit. Not a nasty, dirty, wet hole, filled with the ends of worms and an oozy smell, nor yet a dry, bare, sandy hole with nothing in it to sit down on or to eat: it was a hobbit-hole, and that means comfort. Written for J.R.R. Tolkien’s own children, The Hobbit met with instant critical acclaim when it was first published in 1937. Now recognized as a timeless classic, this introduction to the hobbit Bilbo Baggins, the wizard Gandalf, Gollum, and the spectacular world of Middle-earth recounts of the adventures of a reluctant hero, a powerful and dangerous ring, and the cruel dragon Smaug the Magnificent. The text in this 372-page paperback edition is based on that first published in Great Britain by Collins Modern Classics (1998), and includes a note on the text by Douglas A. Anderson (2001).

'Shoot all the bluejays you want, if you can hit 'em, but remember it's a sin to kill a mockingbird.' A lawyer's advice to his children as he defends the real mockingbird of Harper Lee's classic novel - a black man charged with the rape of a white girl. Through the young eyes of Scout and Jem Finch, Harper Lee explores with exuberant humour the irrationality of adult attitudes to race and class in the Deep South of the 1930s. The conscience of a town steeped in prejudice, violence and hypocrisy is pricked by the stamina of one man's struggle for justice. But the weight of history will only tolerate so much.

Since its immediate success in 1813, has remained one of the most popular novels in the English language. Jane Austen called this brilliant work "her own darling child" and its vivacious heroine, Elizabeth Bennet, "as delightful a creature as ever appeared in print." The romantic clash between the opinionated Elizabeth and her proud beau, Mr. Darcy, is a splendid performance of civilized sparring. And Jane Austen's radiant wit sparkles as her characters dance a delicate quadrille of flirtation and intrigue, making this book the most superb comedy of manners of Regency England.

The year 1984 has come and gone, but George Orwell's prophetic, nightmarish vision in 1949 of the world we were becoming is timelier than ever. is still the great modern classic of "negative utopia"—a startlingly original and haunting novel that creates an imaginary world that is completely convincing, from the first sentence to the last four words. No one can deny the novel's hold on the imaginations of whole generations, or the power of its admonitions—a power that seems to grow, not lessen, with the passage of time.

When an unidentified “monster” threatens international shipping, French oceanographer Pierre Aronnax and his unflappable assistant Conseil join an expedition organized by the US Navy to hunt down and destroy the menace. After months of fruitless searching, they finally grapple with their quarry, but Aronnax, Conseil, and the brash Canadian harpooner Ned Land are thrown overboard in the attack, only to find that the “monster” is actually a futuristic submarine, the Nautilus, commanded by a shadowy, mystical, preternaturally imposing man who calls himself Captain Nemo. Thus begins a journey of 20,000 leagues—nearly 50,000 miles—that will take Captain Nemo, his crew, and these three adventurers on a journey of discovery through undersea forests, coral graveyards, miles-deep trenches, and even the sunken ruins of Atlantis. Jules Verne’s novel of undersea exploration has been captivating readers ever since its first publication in 1870, and Frederick Paul Walter’s reader-friendly, scientifically meticulous translation of this visionary science fiction classic is complete and unabridged down to the smallest substantive detail.
