  • 瑞德·巴特勒

    作者:(美) 麦凯格

    还记得《飘》中那个让思嘉神魂颠倒的瑞德吗? 《瑞德·巴特勒:再续<飘>传奇》再续《飘》之传奇,看思嘉、瑞德和至爱亲朋乱世情迷人生沉浮。 如同《飘》的第一部续集《斯佳丽》,本作品经由美国文学名著《飘》的作者米切尔遗产管委会全权授权。《瑞德·巴特勒》涉及的背景比《飘》前后延伸了近二十年。小说为瑞德增加了种植园的家人、友人和年少轻狂的岁月,以及在内战期间偷越封锁线的经历,将一个缺陷与优点并重的“男人中的男人”形象塑造得有血有肉,可信可亲。瑞德与思嘉最终的去向在《瑞德·巴特勒:再续<飘>传奇》中将浮出水面。

  • 布里·坦纳第二次短暂生命

    作者:(美)斯蒂芬妮·梅尔

    当你读到《月食》中贝拉凝视着布里同时心里盘算着她是否可能就是自己将来的样子这一幕的时候,你可曾想到是什么让布里变成眼前这个样子? 当布里对她回敬以怒视的时候,你想不想知道贝拉和爱德华家族在她看来是什么样子? 也许没有。 不过即使你曾这样想过,我打赌你也永远猜不到她的秘密。 我越接近布里那不可避免的结局,我就越希望我可以让《月食》的结局能有哪怕些许的改变。 尽管这个愿望有些残忍,我希望你们最终会和我一样喜欢布里。 ——斯蒂芬妮·梅尔 本书讲述了一个名为布里·坦纳的新生的传奇故事以及她所栖身的阴暗世界。小说以新生军团为了接近贝拉和卡伦家族一路行进的征程为线索,将其前世今生都介绍了一遍,其间穿插着大量的新生儿成长过程中那些有关爱、恐惧和行动的细节,以及维多利亚为了复仇在西雅图干的一系列坏事。
  • The Age of Innocence

    作者:Edith Wharton

    在线阅读本书 Edith Wharton’s masterpiece brings to life the grandeur and hypocrisy of a gilded age. Set among the very rich in 1870s New York, it tells the story of Newland Archer, a young lawyer engaged to marry virginal socialite May Welland, when he meets her cousin, Countess Ellen Olenska, a woman unbound by convention and surrounded by scandal. As all three are drawn into a love triangle filled with sensuality, subtlety, and betrayal, Archer faces a harrowing choice between happiness and the social code that has ruled his life. The resulting tale of thwarted love is filled with irony and surprise, struggle and acceptance. Recipient of the first Pulitzer Prize for fiction ever awarded to a woman, this great novel paints a timeless portrait of “society” still unmatched in American literature—an arbitrary, capricious social elite that professes inviolable standards but readily abandons them for greed and desire.
  • 亚当夏娃日记

    作者:马克·吐温

    亚当和夏娃的故事在西方家喻户晓,但马克·吐温用日记体写成的《亚当夏娃日记》则以不乏诗意的男女两性间的自然吸引法则,诠释了人类第一对夫妻这一古老传说。上帝无形的律令,撒旦的诱引分明暗示,即使在人类始祖诞生之初,在没有阶级存在、没有物欲和权力欲出现的漫长的社会文明发展进程中,人类也远远不是自由的。

  • Committed

At the end of her memoir Eat, Pray, Love , Elizabeth Gilbert fell in love with Felipe, a Brazilian living in Indonesia. The couple swore eternal love, but also swore (as skittish divorce survivors) never to marry. However, providence intervened in the form of a U.S. government ultimatum: get married, or Felipe could never enter America again. Told with Gilbert's trademark humor and intelligence, this fascinating meditation on compatibility and fidelity chronicles Gilbert's complex and sometimes frightening journey into second marriage, and will enthrall the millions of readers who made Eat, Pray, Love a number one bestseller.

  • What We Talk About When We Talk About Love

    作者:Raymond Carver

    Raymond Carver's "What We Talk About When We Talk About Love" Commentary by Karen Bernardo Raymond Carver's short story "What We Talk About When We Talk About Love" takes place in one sitting, or more precisely, one pre-dinner drinking bout. It is told in first person, with one of the four characters referring to himself as "I," but ironically this is the character about whom we know the least; he is merely the mouthpiece for the action, and all we know about him is that his name is Nick and he is married to Laura. His friend Mel is a cardiologist, married to Terri, and initiates the conversation of what love means. This conversation provides the central focus of the story. Mel, Nick tells us, thinks "real love [is] nothing less than spiritual love." He cannot comprehend that his wife's abusive ex-husband, Ed, could possibly have loved her while he was dragging her around the room by her ankles. "That's not love, and you know it," Mel says. "I don't know what you'd call it, but I sure know you wouldn't call it love." Terri, on the other hand, insists that it was. She has led a much less sheltered life and is also much less self-righteous than Mel; she understands that while objectively Ed could be regarded as sadistic, dangerous, and pathological, he operated out of a reservoir of strong emotion that was simply incapable of channeling itself in socially-acceptable ways. This strong emotion, when turned toward other human beings, erupted in violence. This is why he beat his wife and eventually committed suicide. Ed, in fact, functions as a pivotal character in the story even though he is dead by the time the action occurs. He stands out in stark contrast to the little group drinking around the table, for, crazy as he was, he had life in him. Terri seems to look back to her days with Ed with a kind of nostalgia, because for all his crackling violence, she thinks he is more man than Mel will ever be. Mel, for his part, presents the story's central question -- what is love -- because like the rest of the group he is imbued with a sense of loss, of regret, of unutterable sadness, for reasons he can not quite describe. He feels instinctively that it has something to do with love, and he's right in a way; it has everything to do with passion. The little group sees in alcohol a way to inflame the passion they once felt for living, or the passion they think they should feel. Mel notes that as much as they love each other, if they were all married to someone else, it would make no difference in their lives; one empty person is as good as another. In fact there is in fact no passion in these people; the alcohol makes it worse, and at the end, when Mel says the gin is gone, Nick concludes the story with the words: "I could hear the human noise we sat there making, not one of us moving, not even when the room went dark." They can't move because they suddenly realize the fact that none of them have ever moved; their lives have always been, and will always be, empty and dark, and they no longer have gin to cover this up.
  • The Silver Linings Playbook

    作者:Matthew Quick

    Pat Peoples has a theory that his life is actually a movie produced by God, and that his God-given mission in life is to become emotionally literate, whereupon God will ensure a happy ending which, for Pat, means the return of his estranged wife Nikki, from whom he's currently having some 'apart time.' It might not come as any surprise to learn that Pat has spent several years in a mental health facility. When Pat leaves hospital and goes to live with his parents, however, everything seems changed: no one will talk to him about Nikki; his old friends now have families; his beloved football team keep losing; his new therapist seems to be recommending adultery as a form of therapy. And he's being haunted by Kenny G. There is a silver lining, however, in the form of tragically widowed, physically fit and clinically depressed Tiffany, who offers to act as a go-between for Pat and his wife, if Pat will just agree to perform in this year's Dance Away Depression competition ...'Utterly original and a real word-of mouth classic' Daily Mail 'Delightful ...A smart, touching, quirky read' Scotland on Sunday

  • Committed

    作者:Elizabeth Gilbert

    At the end of her bestselling memoir Eat, Pray, Love, Elizabeth Gilbert fell in love with Felipe, a Brazilian-born man of Australian citizenship who’d been living in Indonesia when they met. Resettling in America, the couple swore eternal fidelity to each other, but also swore to never, ever, under any circumstances get legally married. (Both were survivors of previous horrific divorces. Enough said.) But providence intervened one day in the form of the United States government, which—after unexpectedly detaining Felipe at an American border crossing—gave the couple a choice: they could either get married, or Felipe would never be allowed to enter the country again. Having been effectively sentenced to wed, Gilbert tackled her fears of marriage by delving into this topic completely, trying with all her might to discover through historical research, interviews, and much personal reflection what this stubbornly enduring old institution actually is. Told with Gilbert’s trademark wit, intelligence and compassion, Committed attempts to “turn on all the lights” when it comes to matrimony, frankly examining questions of compatibility, infatuation, fidelity, family tradition, social expectations, divorce risks and humbling responsibilities. Gilbert’s memoir is ultimately a clear-eyed celebration of love with all the complexity and consequence that real love, in the real world, actually entails.

  • The Age of Innocence

    作者:Edith Wharton

    Publisher Comments: With The Age of Innocence, Edith Wharton became the first woman to win the Pulitzer Prize. Set against the old New York of her youth, the novel portrays with unparalleled elegance the grandeur of the aristocratic order and the plight of those who envisioned freedom from its moral conventions. Here is the story of Newland Archer, a man engaged to the beautiful society girl May Welland, but privately longing for a life of genuine passion with the spirited countess Ellen Olenska. Recognized in her time as "a writer who brings glory on the name America," (The New York Times, 1920), Edith Wharton's eminence endures and her triumphant novel remains a compelling account of desire and its consequences.

  • 亚当夏娃的秘密日记

    作者:吐温(美),肖俊风

    开天辟地的第一天,亚当和夏娃相遇了,于是一场宇宙洪荒的爱情故事也拉开了序幕。而记录整个相爱过程的秘密日记,就像无花果,酸甜而纯稚,从此滋润着后代的心田。 在本书中,马克・吐温以自己特有的语言魅力,用第一人称方式述说了这个发生在伊甸园的故事。在他的笔下,夏娃作为人类的第一个女性,对世界上的一切事物都有着强烈的兴趣,追求美和怀抱爱心是她的天性,但她的这些美德,在亚当的眼里,却只是十足的傻气,因为本书中的亚当是一个现实主义者…… 该书是一个对古老神话幽默而感人的再叙述,充满了作者讽刺性的幽默、敏锐的智慧,以及对于人性缺点细腻、委婉的观察。 本书收录了鲁迅先生为上海湖风书局1931年109出版发行的《夏娃日记》所作的序言,同时配有美国著名画家莱勒孚的54幅优美的插图。图文并茂,为读者增添了更多的阅读情趣。
