So when her father’s best friend, Matthew, goes missing from his upstate New York home, Mila and her beloved father travel from London to find him.

《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

In Beatrice Prior’s dystopian Chicago world, society is divided into five factions, each dedicated to the cultivation of a particular virtue—Candor （the honest）, Abnegation （the selfless）, Dauntless （the brave）, Amity （the peaceful）, and Erudite （the intelligent）. On an appointed day of every year, all sixteen-year-olds must select the faction to which they will devote the rest of their lives. For Beatrice, the decision is between staying with her family and being who she really is—she can’t have both. So she makes a choice that surprises everyone, including herself. 如果世界按照所有美的特质划归五派，无私，无畏，诚实，友好，博学，在这样一个世界里，还会不会有杀戮，争端，夺权，暴乱？ 答案你知道。 因为丑恶从未消失，它只是被深深地隐藏起来，妄图在某一天爆发出来，冲毁这世界。 在本书看似平静的开头后面，潜藏着令人惊讶的奇曲过程，我们所
