西班牙拉曼查地方有一位乡绅,酷爱骑士小说,终日捧读,手不诗卷,最后读昏了头脑,竟异想天开,想要做一名游侠骑士,锄强扶弱,行侠仗义,闯荡天下,便自称堂吉诃德,并说服村上一位农夫做他的侍从,乘马持矛,踏上冒险之途。 堂吉诃德满脑子都是骑士书中的人和事,所以,在他的眼中,妓女是贵妇,客栈为城堡;他同风车厮杀,将羊群视为军队;闹了许多笑话,出尽了洋相。他屡战屡败,屡败屡战,坚持自己的理想,直到一命归西。 堂吉诃德和侍从桑丘·潘沙主仆二人,一高一矮,一瘦一胖,一个追求理想,一个非常现实,两者形成强烈对比,产生强烈的喜剧效果,又象征人的双重性:理想主义与现实主义,因此,使作品具有普遍和永恒的意义。
20世纪20年代的美国,来自中西部的尼克,在纽约结识了挥金如土的富豪盖茨比。随着二人交往的深入,尼克了解到盖茨比原本出身贫寒,年少时是一位军官,并且爱上了黛西尼克的一位表亲。战争爆发后,盖茨比被调往欧洲战场,黛西便转而同出身于富豪家庭的汤姆结了婚。充满遗憾的盖茨比立志成为富翁,特意在黛西家对面置产,彻夜笙箫不断,为的就是要引起黛西的注意。当一切落幕,盖茨比的悲剧人生亦如烟花般,璀璨只是一瞬。尼克深怀着悲伤落寞的心情,回到了故乡。 《了不起的盖茨比》是美国作家F. S. 菲茨杰拉德的代表作。这部小说以其对20世纪20年代美国时代韵律的微妙洞察,展示了当时“荒原时代”的内涵,并深刻影响了包括海明威、塞林格、村上春树在内的众多文坛巨匠。 为纪念原著出版九十周年,译者张思婷潜心研究二十多部前人译本

From Emperor to Citien is the autobiography of Pu Yi, the man who was the last emperor of China. A unique memoir of the first half of the 20th century as seen through the eyes of one born to be an absolute monarch, the book begins with the author's vivid account of the last, decadent days of the Ching Dynasty,and closes with an introspective self-portrait of the last Ching emperor transformed into a retiring scholar and citizen of the People's Republic of China. In detailing the events of the fifty years between his ascension to the throne and the final period of his life as a quiet-living resident of Beijing, Pu Yi reveals himself to be first and foremost a survivor, caught up in the torrent of global power struggles and world conflict that played itself out on the Asian continent through many decades of violence and upheaval. This firsthand de*ion of the dramatic events of Pu Yi's life was the basis for the intemationally acclaimed 1987 Bemardo Bertolucci film The Last Emperor which was named Be

“评话”,原是讲说故事的一种民间表演技艺,在宋代的城市里极为盛行。后来,这类口头表演的内容被记录整理成书面文字,称为“话本”或者“白话小说”。元代时开始专指演叙历史题材的白话小说为评话,到了明清两代,评话便成了涵盖各种题材的白话小说的通称。“评话”以城市中的普通大众作为主要的读者对象,语言通俗易懂,内容也多是反映市井小人物的荣枯沉浮和悲欢离合,表现的是与传统士大夫诗文迥然不同的市俗精神风貌,有着极高的文学、艺术价值。 《喻世明言》、《警世通言》、《醒世恒言》、《拍案惊奇》和《二刻拍案惊奇》(合称“三言二拍”)是五部很为有名的宋明短篇白话小说集,其中很多作品在成书后不久即被翻译成多种外文,流传到世界各地。本书的20篇作品均选自于上述五部小说集,英文部分由有名的翻译家杨宪益、戴乃
