《第二十二条军规》是一部严肃的、讽刺性极强的小说。通过这部小说，约瑟夫·海勒将他眼中的美国社会展现在读者眼前。这个社会处于一种有组织的混乱、一种制度化了的疯狂之中，这个社会的一切只服从“第二十二条军规”的荒诞逻辑。这样一种病态的、荒诞的社会只有海勒的想象力才能够包容它，只有“黑色幽默”这样的创作手法才能够较好地表现它。通过“第二十二条军规”这个象征，读者也可以看到战争、美国社会及其官僚机构的荒诞、疯狂和不可理喻。由于这部小说揭示了美国社会真实的一面，因此它不仅在西方社会里具有普遍的意义并被译成十多种文字，而且对于我们中国读者认识、了解当代美国社会以及由这个社会造就的一代没有理想、没有信仰、没有人生目标的美国人，无疑具有极高的价值。这部小说的主要情节非常简单：第二次世界大战末
从前，在埃及街旁的一所房子里，住着一只名叫爱德华·图雷恩的瓷兔子。那小兔子很是自鸣得意，而且理由充足：他为一个名叫阿比林的女孩所拥有，她对它关怀备至，崇敬有加。 可是后来，有一天，他被丢失了，开始了一段异乎寻常的旅程——从海洋深处到渔夫的渔网，从垃圾堆的顶部到流浪汉营地的篝火边，从一个生病的孩子的床前到孟斐斯的街道上…… 一路上的见闻令我们惊愕不已——即使是一颗极易破碎的心也可以失去爱、学会爱而又重新得到爱。本书荣获2006年波士顿全球号角书奖金奖。
Dear Reader, If you have not read anything about the Baudelaire orphans, thenbefore you read even one more sentence, you should know this:Violet, Klaus, and Sunny are kindhearted and quick-witted, buttheir lives, I am sorry to say, are filled with bad luck andmisery. All of the stories about these three children are unhappyand wretched, and this one may be the worst of them all.If youhaven′t got the stomach for a story that includes a hurricane, asignalling device, hungry leeches, cold cucumber soup, a horriblevillain, and a doll named Pretty Penny, then this book willprobably fill you with despair.I will continue to record thesetragic tales, for that is what I do. You, however, should decidefor yourself whether you can possibly endure this miserablestory. With all due respect, Lemony Snicket
Violet, Klaus, and Sunny Baudelaire are intelligent children.They are charming, and resourceful, and have pleasant facialfeatures. Unfortunately, they are exceptionally unlucky. In the first two books alone, the three youngsters encounter agreedy and repulsive villain, itchy clothing, a disastrous fire, aplot to steal their fortune, a lumpy bed, a deadly serpent, a largebrass reading lamp, a long knife, and a terrible odour. In the tradition of great storytellers, from Dickens to Dahl,comes an exquisitely dark comedy that is both literary andirreverent, hilarious and deftly crafted. Never before has a taleof three likeable and unfortunate children been quite soenchanting, or quite so uproariously unhappy.
