本书由三个文本组成。 *个文本是D（狄亚努斯）的日志，它构成了被称为 鼠的故事 的*部分。这部分以D的视角展开，记述了他与B的情乱，同时，在这场混乱的激情中，A（阿尔法主教）作为一个衔接D与B之关系的人物在场。 *部分也涉及了D与E的情乱，而这构成了第二个文本的记述核心。第二部分被称为 狄亚努斯 ，是A的笔记。这部分以A的视角展开。 这两个文本共同结构了本书的故事。被称为 俄瑞斯忒斯 的第三部分则更像是一个总的视角，或者说，一则诗性概述。它由诗歌和诗论组成。巴塔耶写道： 为了在一片明显的不可能中抓住一丝可能，我必须首先想象相反的情境。

本书由名家之诗、名家之画、名家之笺释组成。有趣的诗、有趣的画，功力深厚的笺释浑然一体，由此，我们认识了什么是“雅趣”。诗与画表现的生活，已经离我们愈来愈远，但跃然纸上的笔墨，拉近了过去与现在的距离。笺释使我们从怀旧的思绪中，理智地审视逝去岁月的痕迹。在周作人、丰子恺两位先生的后人及钟叔河先生的鼎力支持下，这本了解、研究中国民俗的宝贵资料得以顺利出版。原丰子恺先生所缺的三幅画曾由毕克官先生补作，为了使风格更接近丰先生，丰一呤女士特仿照先生的构图补作三幅。

" Zamyatin's] intuitive grasp of the irrational side oftotalitarianism- human sacrifice, cruelty as an end in itself-makesWe] superior to Huxley's Brave New World]."-George Orwell Aninspiration for George Orwell's "1984" and a precursor to the workof Philip K. Dick and Stanislaw Lem, We is a classic of dystopianscience fiction ripe for rediscovery. Written in 1921 by theRussian revolutionary Yevgeny Zamyatin, this story of the thirtiethcentury is set in the One State, a society where all live for thecollective good and individual freedom does not exist. The noveltakes the form of the diary of state mathematician D-503, who, tohis shock, experiences the most disruptive emotion imaginable: lovefor another human being.At once satirical and sobering-and nowavailable in a powerful new modern translation-We speaks to all whohave suffered under repression of their personal and artisticfreedom. "One of the greatest novels of the twentiethcentury."-Irving Howe

(Book Jacket Status: Jacketed) Arriving in a village to takeup the position of land surveyor for the mysterious lord of acastle, the character known as K. finds himself in a bitter andbaffling struggle to contact his new employer and go about hisduties. As the villagers and the Castle officials block his effortsat every turn, K.'s consuming quest-quite possibly a self-imposedone-to penetrate the inaccessible heart of the Castle and take itsmeasure is repeatedly frustrated. Kafka once suggested that thewould-be surveyor in "The Castle" is driven by a wish "to get clearabout ultimate things," an unrealizable desire that provided thedriving force behind all of Kafka's dazzlingly uncanny fictions.Translated by Willa and Edwin Muir
