Four Quartets《四個四重奏》 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.”

The Great Gatsby《了不起的蓋茨比》 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.

《君主論》集西方數千年權術思想之精華,奠定了西方“厚黑學”之基礎。它被稱為邪惡的圣經,毀譽參半,不管放在什么地方都有幾分驚世駭俗;但它又是一本不 可不讀的奇書,一直被奉為歐洲歷代君主的案頭之書,政治家的最高指南,統(tǒng)治階級鞏固其統(tǒng)治的治國原則,和人類有史以來對政治斗爭技巧最獨到、最精辟的解 剖。同時,在政治界、宗教界、學術界等領域引起過巨大的反響,被西方評論界列為和《圣經》、《資本論》等相提并論的影響人類歷史的十部著作之一。
Walden《瓦爾登湖》 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.

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.

柏拉圖把國家分為三個階層:受過嚴格哲學教育的統(tǒng)治階層、保衛(wèi)國家的武士階層、平民階層。他鄙 視個人幸福,無限地強調城邦整體、強調他一己以為的“正義”。在柏拉圖眼中,第三階層的人民是低下的,可以欺騙的。他賦予了統(tǒng)治者無上的權力,甚至統(tǒng)治者 “為了國家利益可以用撒謊來對付敵人或者公民”
Lolita《洛麗塔》 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.
《洛麗塔》講述的是一個中年男子對十二歲女孩的戀情故事。其近乎瘋狂的情欲描寫和取材的大膽,導致它在五十多年前,曾一度被視為離經叛道的色情小說,然而它又不僅僅是一本關于畸戀的普通暢銷書而已,今天再讀《洛麗塔》,那些精妙絕倫的寫作技巧,奇特迷人的文字雕鑿,富含莎士比亞性質的悲喜劇意韻,盡管翻譯本難以現(xiàn)其原貌,依然能令人嘆為觀止…

Lord of the Flies《蠅王》 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
《蠅王》是英國作家、諾貝爾文學獎獲得者威廉·戈爾丁的代表作,是一本重要的哲理小說,借小孩的天真來探討人性的惡這一嚴肅主題。故事發(fā)生于想象中的第三次世界大戰(zhàn),一群六歲至十二歲的兒童在撤退途中因飛機失事被困在一座荒島上,起先尚能和睦相處,后來由于惡的本性的膨脹起來,便互相殘殺,發(fā)生悲劇性的結果。作者將抽象的哲理命題具體化,讓讀者通過閱讀引人入勝的故事和激動人心的爭斗場面來加以體悟,人物、場景、故事、意象等都深具象征意義。
The Grapes of Wrath《憤怒的葡萄》 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.
《憤怒的葡萄》是美國30年代大蕭條時期的一部史詩。小說主人公約德刑滿被釋回家,發(fā)現(xiàn)家鄉(xiāng)一片荒蕪,只得攜家乘坐一輛破舊的汽車到西部謀生,在那里的一個農場做工。一家人拼命干活,只能勉強糊口,農場主還不斷地壓低工資。農工們奮起反抗,舉行罷工,警察前來鎮(zhèn)壓,牧師凱綏同情農工,被武裝流氓打死。約德將兇手擊斃,只得再次背井離鄉(xiāng)。這部作品,反映了廣大人民群眾對現(xiàn)存社會的日益不滿和叛逆精神,具有鮮明的時代特征。為此,斯坦貝克成了“被壓迫者的代言人”。在藝術上,再現(xiàn)了30年代大蕭條時期的生活,在人物形象的塑造上,強調外部特征,而不是探究微妙的心理,因而他筆下的人物是類型化的而不是個性化的。象征手法和諷刺手法在作品中也得到了很好的運用。
