[英国] 阿道司·赫胥黎 translator: 王梓尘 publishing house: 重庆出版社 2005 - 6
《美丽新世界》是二十世纪最经典的反乌托邦文学之一。这部作品与乔治·奥威尔的《1984》、扎米亚京的《我们》并称为“反乌托邦”三书,在国内外思想界影响深远。 书中引用了广博的生物学、心理学知识,为我们描绘了虚构的福特纪元632年即公元2532年的社会。这是一个人从出生到死 亡都受着控制的社会。在这个“美丽新世界”里,由于社会与生物控制技术的发展,人类已经沦为垄断基因公司和政治人物手中的玩偶。这种统治甚至从基因和胎儿阶段就开始了。 这是一个有阶级、有社会分工的社会,人类经基因控制孵化,被分为五个阶级,分别从事劳心、劳力、创造、统治等不同性质的社会活动。人们习惯于自己从事的任何工作,视恶劣的生活和工作环境与极高的工作强度为幸福。因此,这是,一个快乐的社会,这种快乐还有别的措施保障,比如睡眠教学,催眠术被广泛用来校正人的思维,国家还发放叫做索麻的精神麻醉药物让人忘掉不愉快的事情。 正是在这个“美丽新世界”里,人们失去了个人情感,失去了爱情——性代替了爱,失去了痛苦、激情和经历危险的感觉。最可怕的是,人们失去了思考的权利,失去了创造力。

My Year with Eleanor Douban
[美]诺艾儿·汉考克 translator: 毕非 publishing house: 江苏文艺出版社 2013 - 7
恐惧会瘫痪我们的人生,害怕犯错让我们什么事都不敢做!29岁的诺艾儿接到裁员通知的时候,正和男友在小岛上度假。这个晴天霹雳让她失神了好几个星期,直到她在一家咖啡馆的布告栏上看到一句话:每天做一件自己害怕的事。 诺艾儿的脑海突然出现了许多画面:因为担心自己的想法听起来很蠢,所以她从来不发表意见;因为痛恨在众人面前演讲,所以她拒绝在小组会议中发言;即使工作很烂还是继续待着,因为留下来比离开容易;去跳蚤市场买东西,老板说多少她就付多少,因为讨价还价好尴尬;还有好多好多,包括害怕别人不高兴、害怕挺身而出、不敢为自己辩护、没化妆就出门很丢脸……她经常逃跑,经常劝自己打消主意。但以前的诺艾儿可是自信满满、积极上进,什么时候开始她却害怕改变,只想待在原地?她的人生因为这样错过了多少机会?还要这样继续逃避下去吗?于是,诺艾儿决定,她要在30岁以前,用一年的时间来面对恐惧:每天做一件自己害怕的事!

John Green publishing house: Dutton Juvenile 2012 - 1
TIME Magazine’s #1 Fiction Book of 2012! “The Fault in Our Stars is a love story, one of the most genuine and moving ones in recent American fiction, but it’s also an existential tragedy of tremendous intelligence and courage and sadness.” —Lev Grossman, TIME Magazine Despite the tumor-shrinking medical miracle that has bought her a few years, Hazel has never been anything but terminal, her final chapter inscribed upon diagnosis.

Insightful, bold, irreverent, and raw, The Fault in Our Stars is award-winning-author John Green’s most ambitious and heartbreaking work yet, brilliantly exploring the funny, thrilling, and tragic business of being alive and in love. Winner of the 2013 Children's Choice Teen Book of the Year Award
The Grand Budapest Hotel
布达佩斯大饭店 Douban
韦斯·安德森 publishing house: Opus Books 2014 - 3
The Grand Budapest Hotel recounts the adventures of Gustave H (Ralph Fiennes), a legendary concierge at a famous European hotel between the wars, and Zero Moustafa (Tony Revolori), the lobby boy who becomes his most trusted friend. Acting as a kind of father figure, M. Gustave leads the resourceful Zero on a journey that involves the theft and recovery of a priceless Renaissance painting; the battle for an enormous family fortune; a desperate chase on motorcycles, trains, sleds and skis; and the sweetest confection of a love affair all against the backdrop of a suddenly and dramatically changing Continent. Inspired by the writings of Stefan Zweig, The Grand Budapest Hotel recreates a bygone era through its arresting visuals and sparkling dialogue. The charm and vibrant colors of the film gradually darken with a sense of melancholy as the forces of history conspire against our hero and his vanishing way of life. Written and directed by Wes Anderson, whose films include The Royal Tenenbaums , Moonrise Kingdom , and Fantastic Mr. Fox . The film also stars Jude Law, Tilda Swinton, Edward Norton, Jeff Goldblum, Harvey Keitel, Adrian Brody, Saoirse Ronan, Lea Seydoux, Bill Murray and Owen Wilson.

斜阳
Douban
★ 8.7 89 ratings
太宰治 translator: 杨伟 / 张嘉林 publishing house: 重庆出版社 2008 - 10
本书收录太宰治最著名的三部作品:《斜阳》、《维庸之妻》和《人间失格》。 一九四五年,太平洋战争以日本无条件投降宣告结束,城市的废墟弥漫着精神危机。太宰治的文学以耀眼的光芒照射在废墟之上。他的文学本来就是以现代的危机意识、世纪末的颓废意识作为出发点的,因而当战后的现实陷入危机之际,他的文学以强有力的现实感诉诸于人们的心灵。他原先悲歌“人世恐怖”,而在一九四七年发表的《维庸之妻》中,那种悲歌进而发展为一种对虚无的叹息和幻灭感。小说借妻子之口,讲述了一个因生来容易受到伤害的心灵为莫名的不安所攫住,以致终日借酒浇愁的诗人的故事。颓废堕落的缘故,被妻子一语中的:“像玩扑克牌一样,负的全部收齐,就交成了正的。”太宰治似乎相信,人只有内心深处抱有虚无感,才会具有善的秉性。一九四七年,太宰治发表了《斜阳》。这部以没落贵族家庭为背景的长篇小说,被誉为“日本的《樱桃园》”,描写了战后这一道德过渡期的牺牲者的悲剧,为他赢得了如潮的赞美。他临终前写成的《人间失格》,可以说是他整个一生的自画像,从中可以看到他从多愁善感的少年一步步丧失为人资格的过程,被誉为日本文坛“不朽的杰作”,是“太宰文学的总清算”。 太宰治,三十九年生命,二十年创作,五次殉情自杀,最终情死,日本无赖派大师,毁灭美学一代宗师。 年度最畅销作品,没有《斜阳》就没有斜阳族,可以不读村上春树,却不能不读太宰治。

Lorrie Moore publishing house: Vintage 2010 - 1
A New York Times Book of the Year A National Book Critics Circle Award Finalist Winner of the Salon Book Award A Village Voice Book of the Year Birds of America is the celebrated collection of twelve stories from Lorrie Moore, one of the finest authors at work today. “Fluid, cracked, mordant, colloquial…. Stand[s] by itself as one of our funniest, most telling anatomies of human love and vulnerability.” — The New York Times Book Review “A marvelous collection…. Her stories are tough, lean, funny, and metaphysical…. Birds of America has about it a wild beauty that simply makes one feel more connected to life.” — The Boston Globe “At once sad, funny, lyrical and prickly, Birds of America attests to the deepening emotional chiaroscuro of her wise and beguiling work.” — The New York Times “Stunning…. There’s really no one like Moore; in a perfect marriage of art form and mind, she has made the short story her own.” — Milwaukee Journal Sentinel “ Birds of America stands as a major work of American short fiction…. Absolutely mastered.” — Elle “Wonderful…. These stories impart such terrifying truths.” — Philadelphia Inquirer “Lorrie Moore soars with Birds of America .... A marvelous, fiercely funny book.” — Newsweek “Fifty years from now, it may well turn out that the work of very few American writers has as much to say about what it means to be alive in our time as that of Lorrie Moore.” — Harper’s Magazine
