这是一个漂泊者的故事 一个历险者的故事 也是一个落叶归根的故事 爱尔兰作家科伦•麦凯恩首部长篇小说 多年以后，到了美国，我听说纳瓦霍印第安人相信宇宙大爆炸的起源，是因土狼的歌唱。它们站在虚无的边缘，在时间之前，将尖嘴探向空中，嚎叫着，把世界从自己的脚下给叫了出来。印第安人叫它们歌犬。 五年来，“我”带着幼时的记忆和几张照片，沿着父母亲年轻时的足迹，辗转多国，从爱尔兰到西班牙、墨西哥、美国，只为寻找失踪的母亲。现在，“我”不得不返回爱尔兰，在家停留七天。这本小说就讲述了这七天“我”与父亲的故事。它以一天为一章，宛若一部“七日谈”，但现实和回忆交错重叠，结果七天的故事，成了漫长的“追忆似水年华”。 《歌犬》是科伦•麦凯恩的首部长篇小说，他在小说中融合了自己的亲身经历，将对身份与归属、故乡与他乡、漂泊与归宿等问题的所思所想，化为诗一般的语言，甚至探讨了爱情与背叛、疯狂与艺术等话题。

JOYCE的意识流小说，他年轻时的写照。

莉娅一直以为自己是都柏林，或许是全世界最幸福的女人：英俊迷人、聪明能干的丈夫，天真烂漫、活泼可爱的两个孩子，塔拉路上一幢人人艳羡、见证着她与丈夫爱情的大房子，身边还有一圈无话不说的朋友。她本以为她会一直这样幸福下去。然而生活并不在她的掌握之中。对于丈夫的私情，她是最后的知晓者。当“离婚”赤裸裸地从他嘴里说出来时，她的天空一下子塌了，黑了……而在大西洋另一端的玛莉琳却久久沉浸在丧子之痛中无法自拔。不一样的原因造成的痛楚却都是不可忍受的，她们不约而同选择了逃离。大洋两端，素昧平生的她们交换房子的同时也交换了一片天地。 也许命运早就借科纳太太之口安排好了一切。这个隐在幕后却操纵着一切的算命老太太其实早就给每个人亮过了底牌。塔拉路上的房子终于要出售了。莉娅和玛莉琳这两个女人的最后碰面应该也是她们与生活达成的某种和解。

在小说中，时间、空间都消失了，只听到一把挣扎声音执着地自我表达，探寻有关它本身存在问题的答案。那说话的声音的强制力量，冗长夸张的文字力量，将叙事者带到一个地狱边境的空间，常常使人联想起但丁的地狱。

The Collected Poems of W. B. Yeats includes all of the poems authorized by Yeats for inclusion in his standard canon. Breathtaking in range, it encompasses the entire arc of his career, from luminous reworkings of ancient Irish myths and legends to passionate meditations on the demands and rewards of youth and old age, from exquisite, occasionally whimsical songs of love, nature, and art to somber and angry poems of life in a nation torn by war and uprising. In observing the development of rich and recurring images and themes over the course of his body of work, we can trace the quest of this century's greatest poet to unite intellect and artistry in a single magnificent vision. Revised and corrected, this edition includes Yeats's own notes on his poetry, complemented by explanatory notes from esteemed Yeats scholar Richard J. Finneran. The Collected Poems of W. B. Yeats is the most comprehensive edition of one of the world's most beloved poets available in paperback.

乔伊斯虽然以长篇小说《尤利西斯》和《芬尼根守灵夜》而闻名，但喜欢自视为诗人。尽管他的诗名没有小说的名气那么显赫，但他最初和最后的创作都是诗歌。本书囊括乔伊斯存世的全部诗作（及少量译诗），共160首（段），并加详细注释。

《凯尔特的薄暮》是1923年诺贝尔文学奖获得者叶芝的代表作之一。 《凯尔特的薄暮》是搜集自爱尔兰斯莱戈和戈尔韦两地的神话、传说合集，是作者叶芝在爱尔兰西北沿海村庄采风，和当地的各色人物交友聊天，并对这些谈话笔记稍加整理，加上自己的思考和感悟编写而成的。作为叶芝的代表作之一 ，本书是一部饱含着诗人激情整理出的优美的爱尔兰神话传说集。 《凯尔特的薄暮》反映了作者叶芝早期的典型创作特征。它的内容包罗万象：鬼怪、仙人、幽默故事和乡间传说层出不穷；它的文体更可谓杂而不乱：时而是一段关于生命和死亡的严肃探讨，时而是一段农人放肆地讲出的荒诞不经的故事，之间穿插着叶芝的诗歌片段。全书笔法自由轻松至极，行文充满想象力，张扬一种神秘的美感以及对淳朴思想的热爱。

W. B. Yeats was Romantic and Modernist, mystical dreamer and leader of the Irish Literary Revival, Nobel prizewinner, dramatist and, above all, poet. He began writing with the intention of putting his 'very self' into his poems. T. S. Eliot, one of many who proclaimed the Irishman's greatness, described him as 'one of those few whose history is the history of their own time, who are part of the consciousness of an age which cannot be understood without them'. For anyone interested in the literature of the late nineteenth century and the twentieth century, Yeats's work is essential. This volume gathers the full range of his published poetry, from the hauntingly beautiful early lyrics (by which he is still fondly remembered) to the magnificent later poems which put beyond question his status as major poet of modern times. Paradoxical, proud and passionate, Yeats speaks today as eloquently as ever.

But just as Eilis begins to fall in love with Tony, devastating news from Ireland threatens the promise of her future.By far Toibin's most instantly engaging and emotionally resonant novel, "Brooklyn" will make readers fall in love with his gorgeous writing and spellbinding characters.

Published in 1916, James Joyce's semiautobiographical tale of his alter ego, Stephen Dedalus, is a coming-of-age story like no other. A bold, innovative experiment with both language and structure, the work has exerted a lasting influence on the contemporary novel. 'Joyce dissolved mechanism in literature as effectively as Einstein destroyed it in physics,' wrote Alfred Kazin. 'He showed that the material of fiction could rest upon as tense a distribution and as delicate a balance of its parts as any poem. Joyce's passion for form, in fact, is the secret of his progress as a novelist. He sought to bring the largest possible quantity of human life under the discipline of the observing mind, and the mark of his success is that he gave an epic form to what remains invisible to most novelists.... Joyce means many things to different people; for me his importance has always been primarily a moral one. He was, perhaps, the last man in Europe who wrote as if art were worth a human life.... By living for his art he may yet have given others a belief in art worth living for.'

Joyce's first major work, written when he was only twenty-five, brought his city to the world for the first time. His stories are rooted in the rich detail of Dublin life, portraying ordinary, often defeated lives with unflinching realism. He writes of social decline, sexual desire and exploitation, corruption and personal failure, yet creates a brilliantly compelling, unique vision of the world and of human experience.
