Written when Ernest Hemingway was thirty years old and lauded as the best American novel to emerge from World War I, A Farewell to Arms is the unforgettable story of an American ambulance driver on the Italian front and his passion for a beautiful English nurse. Set against the looming horrors of the battlefield—weary, demoralized men marching in the rain during the German attack on Caporetto; the profound struggle between loyalty and desertion—this gripping, semiautobiographical work captures the harsh realities of war and the pain of lovers caught in its inexorable sweep. Ernest Hemingway famously said that he rewrote the ending to A Farewell to Arms thirty-nine times to get the words right. This edition collects all of the alternative endings together for the first time, along with early drafts of other essential passages, offering new insight into Hemingway’s craft and creative process and the evolution of one of the greatest novels of the twentieth century. Featuring Hemingway’s own 1948 introduction to an illustrated reissue of the novel, a personal foreword by the author’s son Patrick Hemingway, and a new introduction by the author’s grandson Seán Hemingway, this edition of A Farewell to Arms is truly a celebration.

In the heart of China's Sichuan province, amid the terraced hills of the Yangtze River valley, lies the remote town of Fuling. Like many other small cities in this ever-evolving country, Fuling is heading down a new path of change and growth, which came into remarkably sharp focus when Peter Hessler arrived as a Peace Corps volunteer, marking the first time in more than half a century that the city had an American resident. Hessler taught English and American literature at the local college, but it was his students who taught him about the complex processes of understanding that take place when one is immersed in a radically different society.

Stefan Zweig (1881-1942) was a poet, novelist, and dramatist, but it was his biographies that expressed his full genius, recreating for his international audience the Elizabethan age, the French Revolution, the great days of voyages and discoveries. In this autobiography he holds the mirror up to his own age, telling the story of a generation that 'was loaded down with a burden of fate as was hardly any other in the course of history'. Zweig attracted to himself the best minds and loftiest souls of his era: Freud, Yeats, Borgese, Pirandello, Gorky, Ravel, Joyce, Toscanini, Jane Addams, Anatole France, and Romain Rolland are but a few of the friends he writes about. Stefan Zweig was an Austrian writer whose life connected with James Joyce, Richard Strauss, Sigmund Freud and Adolf Hitler - among many others. He was, essentially, a European of the old school, and his last book, "The World of Yesterday", testifies to this. Zweig was born in 1881; he lived to see the continent torn apart by two world wars and committed suicide in Brazil in 1942 when, after the fall of Singapore to the Japanese, he came to believe that a Nazi world was inevitable. "The World of Yesterday" was written shortly before his suicide and was intended as a literary capsule to remind future generations of the world that they had lost, and how that loss had come about. The main trajectory of the book is from an old world of seeming 'security' in which notions of peace, dignity and learning reigned, to the new world of war in which Hitler had destroyed all of these things. Zweig provides a vivid portrait of how war and terror can sweep over a people who are seemingly oblivious to what is happening to them. The process, in Zweig's view, vindicates the apparent pessimism of his friend Sigmund Freud - who believes that culture could never overcome the subconscious and malevolent desires of a people. Zweig lost almost everything he had to the Nazis. He was an Austrian jew who fled because he knew what was coming. The book is written entirely from memory. Its language consequently tends to lurch from the high flown and sentimental, to chillingly accurate vignettes of how a people can delude themselves about a catastrophe in their midst. He manages to convey his horror when, on his final visit to Austria, he realised that none of his friends and family could imagine the worst that could happen - and hence did not believe his exhortations to leave while they could: 'They invited each other to full-dress parties (little thinking that they would soon be wearing prisoner's clothes in a concentration camp)'.

1920年代上半叶，海明威以驻欧记者身份旅居巴黎，《流动的盛宴》这本书，记录的正是作者当日的这段生活。不过这本书的写作却是在将近四十年以后，换句话说，盛宴的“现场”早已消失，作者和读者都只是在记忆中追寻那段过往岁月，而无论是作者或是读者，这些记忆都已在时光的透镜里失焦、变形。所有有关巴黎的记忆都杂糅成一种对于巴黎的共同的历史记忆。在历史上不计其数的关于巴黎的虚构或非虚构作品中，《流动的盛宴》是最著名的作品之一，其扉页上的题献——“假如你有幸年轻时在巴黎生活过，那么你此后一生中不论去到哪里她都与你同在，因为巴黎是一席流动的盛宴”，已经成为巴黎的“文化名片”，被广为传诵。在这部半纪实半虚构的作品中，二十年代巴黎文人圈的风俗画卷徐徐展开，那些当时在世界文坛、艺坛上呼风唤雨的人物都被寥寥数笔勾勒出生动的素描像，与这座城市、这部书永远融为一体。

该书是上海译文出版社在继《生命中不能承受之轻》（重译更名为《不能承受的生命之轻》）后名著重译又一重弹。人们耳熟能详的法语名著《追忆似水年华》在著名翻译家周克希的笔下“摇身一变”，成为《追寻逝去的时光》。此书为第一卷：《去斯万家那边》。 任何事物只有以其永恒的面貌，亦即艺术的面貌，才能被真正领悟和保存：这就是《追寻逝去的时光》的写作主旨。而在普鲁斯特看来，这种偶合是可遇而不可求的，因而“一旦那一切是经过有意识的观察而得到的，诗意的再现就全部丧失了”。 鸿篇巨制《追寻逝去的时光》有如一部看似信手写来、不讲章法，实则结构严谨、气势恢弘的交响乐。 小说一开头，叙述者醒来后躺在床上。童年时代的回忆，在贡布雷姑婆家的生活情景，清晰地重现了出来。然后小说的时间倒退了十多年，我们看到了他家的朋友斯万与奥黛特之间的一段恋情。斯万的女儿吉尔贝特，后来是叙述者在巴黎时单恋的对象（第一卷《去斯万家那边》）。他经常到斯万家去，可是吉尔贝特对他时冷时热，渐渐他也对她冷了下来。有一天，他在巴尔贝克海滨遇到一群少女，并结识了其中的阿尔贝蒂娜（第二卷《在少女花影下》）。回到巴黎后，他对盖尔芒特公爵夫人产生了强烈的感情，并应邀去公爵夫人府上作客。外婆去世后，他与阿尔贝蒂娜关系亲密起来，在对蒙着神秘面纱的贵族生活有所了解以后，他感到怅然和失望（第三卷《盖尔芒特家那边》）。重返巴尔贝克，他意外地发现了阿尔贝娜是同性恋者的隐情。他觉得到处者是罪孽和不幸（第四卷《所多玛和蛾摩拉》）。阿尔贝蒂娜答应和他一起到巴黎同居。他感到自己负有文学使命，同时又无法摆脱由阿尔贝蒂娜引起的妒意（第五卷《女囚》）。他感觉到阿尔贝蒂娜似乎正从他身边离去。不料有一天，她当真不见了。他得知她死于骑马失事后，很想念她，想在别的少女身上找到她的影子（第六卷《失踪的阿尔贝蒂娜》）。第一次世界大战爆发，他伤感地看到社会的变化，觉得自己在文学上的使命感似乎幻灭了。然而在一次社交性的晚会上，发生了一连串偶然的事情，使他骤然间产生了一个意想不到的灵感：通过一部作品来重现过去的时光。于是他又回到全书的开头，成了那个醒着躺在床上的人（第七卷《寻回的时光》）。因而，这部作品既是小说本身，同时又是叙述者（作者）完成这部小说的心灵历程的记录。

《泰晤士报》说：“比尔・布赖森是目前活在世上最有趣的旅游文学作家。”《纽约时报书评》周刊说：“布赖森绝对是旅行的好伴侣，而且也是一位用谐谑之眼观察入微的作家！每个阅读他作品的人都会不断地遇上乐趣，而且惊觉自己在他的发现之旅中有着高度的参与感。”的确布赖森的书有味道极了，而且一点也不余秋雨式地端着，一点也不余秋雨式地“文化”。
