简介：是英国19世纪著名作家查尔斯·狄更斯的后期作品，也是他思想上最为成熟的作品之一，与他所写的其他涉及孤儿题材的小说一样，书中以充满同情和细致入微的笔触塑造了乔、匹普和毕蒂等朴实善良的小人物，但不同的是，作家那时对社会和人生有了更深刻的体验，以往贯穿于作品中的幽默讥讽风格逐渐淡化，在这部小说里呈现出狄更斯更趋成熟的人生观。

简介：莎士比亚最有名的四大悲剧之一《哈姆雷特》，创作于1601年，时值欧洲文艺复兴运动进入晚期和英国伊丽莎白女王去世（1603年）前两年，因而，《哈姆雷特》不仅体现了文艺复兴的思想意识，而且反映了英国社会转型时期的种种矛盾冲突。《哈姆雷特》的悲剧性包含了四个主要层次：第一个层次涉及谋杀君王，篡夺王位，进而谋害王子的政治悲剧成分。第二层次涉及代表着文明进步的正面人物同丑恶与罪恶展开斗争的社会悲剧成分。第三层次涉及因盲目而卷入政治冲突而导致毁灭的家庭悲剧成分。第四层次涉及爱情被摧残、被利用的爱情悲剧成分。

简介：长篇历史小说《你往何处去》是波兰作家显克威支的代表作，出版发行于1896年，写的是公元一世纪中叶古罗马在尼禄皇帝的统治之下走向衰落和早期基督教徒罹难的故事。作者因这部作品获得1905年诺贝尔文学奖。作品名字来源于1893年显克微支第二次重游罗马时，看到古卡丕城门附近一座小教堂门楣上用拉丁文写的“你往何处去”的题词。这句题词是早期基督教徒遭受迫害的史迹。传说被追捕的基督使徒彼得匆匆逃离罗马城，在路上问耶稣：“主啊，你往何处去?”耶稣回答说：“你既然遗弃了我的人民，我便要回罗马去，让他们再次把我钉在十字架上。”彼得于是返回罗马城，不久便真的被钉上了十字架。早期基督教徒为信仰献身的精神，深深触动了作者的灵感，震撼了作者的心灵。他决定用这句题词作为书名，再现尼禄统治下那个充满血和泪的时代。作品被两次改编成电影。1951年上映的《暴君屠城录》，在1952年第24届奥斯卡颁奖会中，获得包括最佳电影等7项提名，值得一看。2001年《你往何处去》再次登上银幕。
简介：莎士比亚一生的创作可分为四个时期。从26岁至30岁这一时期是其创作的第一个时期，这一时期，莎士比亚的写作以模仿古罗马喜剧和悲剧为主，是习作时期。当时的英国流行塞内加悲剧，即“血的悲剧”，莎士比亚写过这种剧本。《罗密欧与朱丽叶》是莎翁第二个创作时期的精品，表明他已掌握了创作艺术，文笔流畅，臻于成熟。这一时期的作品大都欢乐向上，富有诗意。1601年，莎士比亚创作了《哈姆雷特》（本辑已收录），开始了他创作的第三个时期。在整整八年时间里，莎翁洞悉了世间所有邪恶，以至他近乎悲观到绝望的程度，因此，这一时期创作的喜剧也是悲苦的。最后一个时期莎翁采用了新的创作形式——悲喜剧或传奇剧。他的悲喜剧宁静、庄重、趣味幽雅，这一时期最有代表性的作品就是《暴风雨》。《罗密欧与朱丽叶》虽然是悲剧，但其结局却完全符合莎翁时期的喜剧标准。罗密欧和朱丽叶一见倾心，但却因封建世仇，恋爱受到阻挠，导致二人早逝。最终，双方家长鉴于世仇铸成的悲剧而言归于好。作品反映了人文主义者的爱情理想与封建恶习、封建压迫之间的冲突。在创作手法上，莎翁以抒情的笔调，用日光、月光、星光等象征光明的意象，来形容青春和爱情的美好，谱写了一首赞美青春和爱情的颂歌。作品中，罗密欧与朱丽叶在月夜阳台上对话的场景，已成为经典。一对相爱的青年虽然死了，但美好的事物和真正的爱情是不朽的，在付出代价之后，封建偏见是可以被克服的。

简介：《消失的地平线》是英国作家詹姆斯·希尔顿的代表作，讲述了二十世纪三十年代四名西方旅客意外来到坐落在群山之中的香格里拉秘境的故事。原本身为外交家、银行家、修女与大学毕业生的四名旅人，被命运捆绑在一起，在香格里拉遭遇了种种离奇事件……
简介：1919年，毛姆45岁时，发表了这部《月亮与六便士》。小说故事情节相对比较简单：某进入中年的英国券商，忽然决定抛妻弃子，跟随内心长久以来积压着的念头，立志要成为一个艺术家。这个故事的源头来自画家高更的生平故事。这种行为并不为世俗社会所认可。本来作为一个券商，手里有大把大把的钞票可以挥霍过活，为什么非要当什么艺术家？为什么最后连生存都变成一个问题？结果，这位想成为艺术家的券商后来连个住处都找不到，身体也患上了疾病，混到了没有钱买食物果腹，整天挨饿的境地。也许，艺术家的世界，凡夫俗子们永远不会懂。这位艺术家不仅没有被这种境地吓倒，反而愈加坚强地活了下去。而且，不顾身体上的疾病带来的不适，也无视周遭环境的恶劣程度，一心扑在绘画的创作之中。在太平洋的一个叫作塔西提的小岛上，他创作出了让人看一眼就会产生荡气回肠感觉的“杰作”。但此时，他已经溘然长逝。那么，为什么叫“月亮与六便士”？其实，用毛姆自己的话说，这个书名的意义并没有在书里得到应有的展示，而是出自某评论家在评论上述《人性的枷锁》时所写的某句话。原话如下：《人性的枷锁》里的主人公菲利普·凯利（PhilipCarey）被形容为一个太过执着找寻月亮的家伙，以至于他从来没发现过脚底下就有一块六便士。毛姆后来这样解释道：“假如你低头在地上不住地要找寻一块六便士硬币，头也不抬起来一下，那么，你就会丢掉月亮。”

简介：居伊·德·莫泊桑，19世纪后半期法国杰出批判现实主义作家，短暂的一生中创作六部长篇小说、一部诗集、三部游记和三百多篇中短篇小说，是位不折不扣的高产作家，被誉为“短篇小说之王”。莫泊桑与契诃夫和欧·亨利齐名，被公认为世界三大短篇小说巨匠，对后世影响深远。其导师，《包法利夫人》的作者福楼拜，曾这样指导莫泊桑进行“速写”训练：“当你走过一个坐在自家店门前的杂货商，走过一个吸烟斗的守门人跟前，你给我描绘一下这两个人的神情姿态，身体的外貌特征。不但要用画家的白描手法，还要描述他他们全部的精神本性，这样，就使人不至于把他们和别的杂货商和守门人混同起来。”莫泊桑掌握了这一要领。而这就是他的作品成功原因所在。

简介：《双城记》属“壹力文库·百灵鸟英文经典”系列丛书，是英国作家查尔斯·狄更斯所著的一部以法国大革命为背景的长篇历史小说，首次出版于1859年。小说将巴黎、伦敦两个大城市连结起来，围绕着曼内特医生一家和以德伐日夫妇为首的圣安东尼区展开故事。小说里描写了贵族如何败坏、如何残害百姓，人民心中积压对贵族的刻骨仇恨，导致了不可避免的法国大革命。书名中的“双城”指的是巴黎与伦敦。小说的意义在于借古讽今，以法国大革命的历史经验为启发，试图用文学为社会矛盾日益加深的英国寻找一条出路。
