Catch-22
Catch-22 Douban Goodreads Sukkertoppen SkybridgeFifty years after its original publication, Catch-22 remains a cornerstone of American literature and one of the funniest—and most celebrated—books of all time. In recent years it has been named to “best novels” lists by Time, Newsweek, the Modern Library, and the London Observer.
Set in Italy during World War II, this is the story of the incomparable, malingering bombardier, Yossarian, a hero who is furious because thousands of people he has never met are trying to kill him. But his real problem is not the enemy—it is his own army, which keeps increasing the number of missions the men must fly to complete their service. Yet if Yossarian makes any attempt to excuse himself from the perilous missions he’s assigned, he’ll be in violation of Catch-22, a hilariously sinister bureaucratic rule: a man is considered insane if he willingly continues to fly dangerous combat missions, but if he makes a formal request to be removed from duty, he is proven sane and therefore ineligible to be relieved.
This fiftieth-anniversary edition commemorates Joseph Heller’s masterpiece with a new introduction by Christopher Buckley; a wealth of critical essays and reviews by Norman Mailer, Alfred Kazin, Anthony Burgess, and others; rare papers and photos from Joseph Heller’s personal archive; and much more. Here, at last, is the definitive edition of a classic of world literature.

outsider: Plague
世界是荒谬的,现实本身是不可认识的,人的存在缺乏理性,人生孤独,活着没有意义。《局外人》的主人公莫尔索和《鼠疫》中的主人公里厄医生面对着同样荒谬的世界时,态度完全不同:《局外人》的莫尔索冷淡漠然,麻木不仁,连对母亲的逝世以至自身的死亡都抱着局外人的态度;《鼠疫》中的里厄医生在力搏那不知从何而来的瘟疫时,虽然有时感到孤单绝望,但他清晰地认识到自己的责任就是跟那吞噬千万无辜者的毒菌作斗争,而且在艰苦的搏斗中,他看到爱情、友谊和母爱给人生带来幸福。里厄医生不是孤军作战,他最后认识到只有通过一些道德高尚、富于自我牺牲精神的人共同努力,才能反抗肆无忌惮的瘟神,人类社会才有一线希望。
本书收录了法国现代著名存在主义文学家加缪的两部作品:《鼠疫》与《局外人》。这两部作品同是加缪最重要的代表作,均被列为现代世界文学名著。《局外人》写的是人在荒缪的世界中孤立无援,身不由已;《鼠疫》写的是面临同样的荒唐的生存时,却有着截然不同的态度,而是在艰苦搏斗中感受着人生的幸福。
