3. Animal Farm (George Orwell)
《動(dòng)物莊園》 喬治奧威爾
'All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.'
所有動(dòng)物生來平等,但有些動(dòng)物比其他動(dòng)物更平等。
A farm is taken over by its overworked, mistreated animals. With flaming idealism and stirring slogans, they set out to create a paradise of progress, justice, and equality. Thus the stage is set for one of the most telling satiric fables ever penned--a razor-edged fairy tale for grown-ups that records the evolution from revolution against tyranny to a totalitarianism just as terrible.
When Animal Farm was first published, Stalinist Russia was seen as its target. Today it is devastatingly clear that wherever and whenever freedom is attacked, under whatever banner, the cutting clarity and savage comedy of George Orwell's masterpiece have a meaning and message still ferociously fresh.
《動(dòng)物莊園》是一部政治寓言體小說,故事描述了一場(chǎng)“動(dòng)物主義”革命的醞釀、興起和最終蛻變。這是一部簡(jiǎn)單又好看的小說,非常適合初學(xué)者們哈!
No.4 Mrs Dalloway (Virginia Woolf)
《達(dá)洛衛(wèi)夫人》弗吉尼亞·伍爾芙
If the most precious gift of the novel as a medium is the power it has to break into the prison of human consciousness, to expose the gossamer (蛛絲似的,纖細(xì)縹緲的) weave of thought and feeling and memory that makes up our innermost lives, then Woolf's fourth novel stands alone at the pinnacle(頂峰). Virginia Woolf made modernism live and breathe.
如果說這部小說作為媒介最天才之處在于其破除人類意識(shí)的囹圄、暴露人們那些構(gòu)成內(nèi)在世界的細(xì)若蛛絲的思緒、情感和記憶,那么伍爾芙的第四部小說就是孤立巔峰之作。弗吉尼亞讓現(xiàn)代主義煥發(fā)生命、鮮活起來。
5. To the Lighthouse (Virginia Woolf)
《到燈塔去》弗吉尼亞·伍爾芙
Another great book written by Virginia Woolf. Subtle, beautiful, staggeringly intelligent and flat-out original. A masterpiece of modernism, its stream-of-consciousness, richness of language and perceptions has continued to reveal itself.
這是另一部弗吉尼亞·伍爾芙的作品。細(xì)膩美妙、智慧驚人,極其新穎獨(dú)到?,F(xiàn)代派的大師之作,運(yùn)用意識(shí)流寫法,其語言豐富、觀察敏銳,不言自明。
