伊莱娜·内米洛夫斯基最为鲜明的作品描述的都是犹太人和俄国人的世界。在《狗与狼》里，她描绘了早期的商人联合会里的资产阶级生活，这些商人享有在基辅居住的权利，而根据尼古拉一世颁布的条令，从原则上来说，这个城市不允许犹太人居住。 伊莱娜·内米洛夫斯基并不否定东欧的犹太文明，她的祖父母（雅各夫·马尔居里斯和贝拉·丘吉德洛维奇）接受的就是这样的文明，尽管家族有了钱之后，他们远离了它。但是，在伊莱娜的眼里，对于金钱的操纵，积聚由金钱堆砌起来财产都是不名誉的行为，虽然在她的少年时代，包括她成年以后，过的都是大资产阶级的生活。 在描绘犹太人社会地位的上升时，伊莱娜拾起了所有反犹主义的偏见，将那个时代为犹太人所勾勒的种种偏见性的描述按在他们身上。犹太人的一幅幅画像就这样从她的笔下冒了出来，用的都是最残忍、最讽刺的语汇，而她则带着一种心醉神迷的恐惧欣赏着，尽管她承认自己与他们属于一个命运共同体。这一点，正是她日后遭受一系列悲剧事件的根由。

With an Introduction and Notes by Dr Keith Carabine,University of Kent at Canterbury 陀思妥耶夫斯基是俄国著名的批判现实主义作家。《罪与罚》是他的一部卓越的社会哲理小说，它的发表标志着他艺术风格的成熟。小说成功地反映农奴制改革后，资本主义的发展在俄国生活的各个方面，探讨了贫穷与犯罪等社会哲理问题，但小说也暴露了作者世界观的全部矛盾。小说于1866年一发表，立即引起强烈的反响，使作者获得世界声誉。 Crime and Punishment is one of the greatest and most readable novels ever written.From the beginning we are locked into the frenzied consciousness of Raskolnikov who,against his better instincts,is inexorably drawn to commit a brutal double murder. From that moment on,we share his conflicting feelings of self-loathing and pride,of contempt for and need of others,and of terrible despair and hope of redemption:and,in a remarkable transformation of the detective novel,we follow his agonised efforts to probe and confront both his own motives for,and the consequences of,his crime. The result is a tragic novel built out of a series of supremely dramatic scenes that illuminate the eternal conflicts at the heart of human existence:most especially our desire for self-expression and self-fulfilment,as against the constraints of morality and human laws;and our agonised awareness of the world's harsh injustices and of our own mortality,as against the mysteries of divine justice and immortality. Book Description Wordsworth Classics covers a huge list of beloved works of literature in English and translations. This growing series is rigorously updated, with scholarly introductions and notes added to new titles. "Crime and Punishment", based on Dostoevsky's own experience of the justice and penal system of Tsarist Russia, is a dark tale set in the dingy streets of St Petersburg, concerning the actions of a murderer who decides to commit homicide as a matter of principle.

Amazon.com - Sometimes only remembered for the epic motion picture and "Frankly ... I don't give a damn," Gone with the Wind was initially a compelling and entertaining novel. It was the sweeping story of tangled passions and the rare courage of a group of people in Atlanta during the time of Civil War that brought those cinematic scenes to life. The reason the movie became so popular was the strength of its characters--Scarlett O'Hara, Rhett Butler, and Ashley Wilkes--all created here by the deft hand of Margaret Mitchell, in this, her first novel.
