  1984《一九八四》 by George Orwell

  1984 still holds chief significance nearly sixty years after it was written in 1949. It is widely acclaimed for its haunting vision of an all-knowing government, which uses pervasive, twenty-four/seven surveillance tactics to manipulate all citizens of the populace.

  War and Peace《战争与和平》 by Leo Tolstoy

  Four Quartets《四个四重奏》 by T.S. Eliot

  Probably the wisest poetic prose of modern times. It was written during World War II, and is still entirely relevant today … here’s an excerpt: “The dove descending breaks the air/With flame of incandescent terror/Of which the tongues declare/The only discharge from sin and error/The only hope, or the despair/Lies in the choice of pyre or pyre–/To be redeemed from fire by fire./Who then devised this torment?/Love/Love is the unfamiliar Name/Behind the hands that wave/The intolerable shirt of flame/Which human power cannot remove./We only live, only suspire/Consumed by either fire or fire.”

  Catch-22《第二十二条军规》 by Joseph Heller

  This book coined the self-titled term “catch-22” that is widely used in modern-day dialogue. As for the story, its message is clear: What’s commonly held to be good, may be bad … what is sensible, is nonsense. Its one of the greatest literary works of the twentieth century. Read it.

  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。

  The Great Gatsby《了不起的盖茨比》 by F. Scott Fitzgerald

  Set in the Jazz Age of the roaring 20s, this book unravels a cautionary tale of the American dream. Specifically, the reader learns that a few good friends are far more important that a zillion acquaintances, and the drive created from the desire to have something is more valuable than actually having it.

  二十世纪二十年代的美国,空气里弥漫着欢歌与纵饮的气息。一个偶然的机会,穷职员尼克闯入了挥金如土的大富翁盖茨比隐秘的世界,惊讶地发现,他内心惟一的 牵绊竟是河对岸那盏小小的绿灯——灯影婆娑中,住着心爱的黛西。然而,冰冷的现实容不下缥缈的梦,到头来,盖茨比心中的女神只不过是凡尘俗世的物质女郎。 当一切真相大白,盖茨比的悲剧人生亦如烟花般,璀璨只是一瞬,幻灭才是永恒。一阕华丽的“爵士时代”的挽歌,在菲茨杰拉德笔下,如诗如梦,在美国当代文学 史上留下了墨色浓重的印痕。

  A smooth-flowing, captivating novel of a young man living in poverty who criminally succumbs to the desire for money, and the hefty psychological impact this has on him and the people closest to him.

  The Prince《君主论》 by Niccolo Machiavelli

  This book does a great job at describing situations of power and statesmanship. From political and corporate power struggles to attaining advancement, influence, and authority over others, Machiavelli’s observations apply.

  《君主论》集西方数千年权术思想之精华,奠定了西方“厚黑学”之基础。它被称为邪恶的圣经,毁誉参半,不管放在什么地方都有几分惊世骇俗;但它又是一本不 可不读的奇书,一直被奉为欧洲历代君主的案头之书,政治家的最高指南,统治阶级巩固其统治的治国原则,和人类有史以来对政治斗争技巧最独到、最精辟的解 剖。同时,在政治界、宗教界、学术界等领域引起过巨大的反响,被西方评论界列为和《圣经》、《资本论》等相提并论的影响人类历史的十部著作之一。

  Walden《瓦尔登湖》 by Henry David Thoreau

  Thoreau spent two years, two months and two days writing this book in a secluded cabin near the banks of Walden Pond in Concord, Massachusetts. This is a story about being truly free from the pressures of society. The book can speak for itself: “I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.”

  这是一本极为优秀的人生哲理书,但从根本上讲,这本书更能扩大我们的日常视野,让我们从简单的生活开始学习知识。通过这本书,我们不仅可以接触到大量的动 物和植物学知识,还能了解到更多的人文、地理和历史知识。阅读它,我们能在平凡与简单中真切感受生活的意义与趣味,也更能感受寂静之美。

  The Republic《理想国》 by Plato

  A gripping and enduring work of philosophy on how life should be lived, justice should be served, and leaders should lead. It also gives the reader a fundamental understanding of western political theory.

  《理想国》是西方政治思想传统的最具代表性的作品,通过苏格拉底与他人的对话,给后人展现了一个完美优越的城邦。

  柏拉图把国家分为三个阶层:受过严格哲学教育的统治阶层、保卫国家的武士阶层、平民阶层。他鄙 视个人幸福,无限地强调城邦整体、强调他一己以为的“正义”。在柏拉图眼中,第三阶层的人民是低下的,可以欺骗的。他赋予了统治者无上的权力,甚至统治者 “为了国家利益可以用撒谎来对付敌人或者公民”

  Lolita《洛丽塔》 by Vladimir Nabokov

  This is the kind of book that blows your mind wide open to conflicting feelings of life, love and corruption … and at times makes you deeply question your own perceptions of each. The story is as devious as it is beautiful.

  《洛丽塔》讲述的是一个中年男子对十二岁女孩的恋情故事。其近乎疯狂的情欲描写和取材的大胆,导致它在五十多年前,曾一度被视为离经叛道的色情小说,然而它又不仅仅是一本关于畸恋的普通畅销书而已,今天再读《洛丽塔》,那些精妙绝伦的写作技巧,奇特迷人的文字雕凿,富含莎士比亚性质的悲喜剧意韵,尽管翻译本难以现其原貌,依然能令人叹为观止…

  Lord of the Flies《蝇王》 by William Golding

  A powerful and alarming look at the possibilities for savagery in a lawless environment, where compassionate human reasoning is replaced by anarchistic, animal instinct

  《蝇王》是英国作家、诺贝尔文学奖获得者威廉·戈尔丁的代表作,是一本重要的哲理小说,借小孩的天真来探讨人性的恶这一严肃主题。故事发生于想象中的第三次世界大战,一群六岁至十二岁的儿童在撤退途中因飞机失事被困在一座荒岛上,起先尚能和睦相处,后来由于恶的本性的膨胀起来,便互相残杀,发生悲剧性的结果。作者将抽象的哲理命题具体化,让读者通过阅读引人入胜的故事和激动人心的争斗场面来加以体悟,人物、场景、故事、意象等都深具象征意义。

  The Grapes of Wrath《愤怒的葡萄》 by John Steinbeck

  Steinbeck’s deeply touching tale about the survival of displaced families desperately searching for work in a nation stuck by depression will never cease to be relevant.

  《愤怒的葡萄》是美国30年代大萧条时期的一部史诗。小说主人公约德刑满被释回家,发现家乡一片荒芜,只得携家乘坐一辆破旧的汽车到西部谋生,在那里的一个农场做工。一家人拼命干活,只能勉强糊口,农场主还不断地压低工资。农工们奋起反抗,举行罢工,警察前来镇压,牧师凯绥同情农工,被武装流氓打死。约德将凶手击毙,只得再次背井离乡。这部作品,反映了广大人民群众对现存社会的日益不满和叛逆精神,具有鲜明的时代特征。为此,斯坦贝克成了“被压迫者的代言人”。在艺术上,再现了30年代大萧条时期的生活,在人物形象的塑造上,强调外部特征,而不是探究微妙的心理,因而他笔下的人物是类型化的而不是个性化的。象征手法和讽刺手法在作品中也得到了很好的运用。
