《荒涼山莊》
Bleak House
查爾斯•狄更斯 Charles Dickens
Bleak House is among Dickens novels, uniquely original in its alternation of first-person past-tense chapters with a concurrent third-person account in present tense.

經典名句
03
《呼嘯山莊》
Wuthering Heights
艾米莉•勃朗特 Emily Brontë
Readers admire Wuthering Heights because of "its layered narrative structure", because it is a work of incredible imagination, and because it is far more than a love story. The story shows "the eternal rocks beneath" our fleeting desires.
讀者推崇《呼嘯山莊》是因為其「層層疊疊的敘述結構」和豐富驚人的想像力,更因為《呼嘯山莊》超越了愛情故事本身,展現了我們轉瞬即逝的欲望之下「永恆的震撼」。
經典名句
04
《大衛•科波菲爾》
David Copperfield
查爾斯•狄更斯 Charles Dickens
David Copperfield is populated by some of the most vivid characters ever created. They are as much a part of readers' world, and their way of thinking about the world, as people they have actually met.
這部小說雲集了眾多鮮活的人物,他們有的仿佛就生活在讀者身邊,他們看待世界的方式也和讀者在現實中遇到的人相似。
經典名句
Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure nineteen nineteen and six, result happiness. Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure twenty pounds ought and six, result misery.

05
《米德爾馬契》
Middlemarch
喬治•艾略特 George Eliot
A novel of great characters, it's an even greater novel of ideas and ideals.Middlemarch is the greatest social and psychological novel ever written in English.
這部小說人物角色卓越,更精妙之處在於其想法與理念。《米德爾馬契》是迄今最偉大的用英文寫就的社會和心理學小說
經典名句
…for the growing good of the world is partly dependent on unhistoric acts; and that things are not so ill with you and me as they might have been, is half owing to the number who lived faithfully a hidden life, and rest in unvisited tombs.
世上善的增長,一部分也有賴於那些微不足道的行為,而你我的遭遇之所以不致如此悲慘,一半也得力於那些不求聞達,忠誠地度過一生,然後安息在無人憑弔的墳墓中的人們。
06
《到燈塔去》
To the Lighthouse
維吉尼亞•伍爾芙 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.
細膩美妙、智慧驚人,極其新穎獨到。現代派的大師之作,運用意識流寫法,其語言豐富、觀察敏銳,不言自明。
經典名句
What is the meaning of life? That was all — a simple question; one that tended to close in on one with years. The great revelation had never come. The great revelation perhaps never did come. Instead there were little daily miracles, illuminations, matches struck unexpectedly in the dark; here was one.
生命的意義是什麼?如此而已——一個十分簡單的問題;一個隨著年華的消逝會向你越逼越近的問題。那偉大的啟示從來沒有出現。也許那偉大的啟示永遠也不會出現。 出現的是日常生活中小小的奇蹟、啟發、仿佛在黑暗中意外地擦亮了的火柴。
07
《達洛衛夫人》
Mrs. Dalloway
維吉尼亞•伍爾芙 Virginia Woolf
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 weave of thought and feeling and memory that makes up our innermost lives, then Woolf's fourth novel stands alone at the pinnacle.
如果說小說作為媒介最天才之處在於其破除人類意識的囹圄、暴露人們那些構成內在世界的細若蛛絲的思緒、情感和記憶,那麼伍爾芙的這第四部小說就是孤立巔峰之作。
經典名句
08
《遠大前程》
Great Expectations
查爾斯•狄更斯 Charles Dickens
Great Expectations might be the quintessential British novel. To re-read Dickens' classic as an adult is to discover its wit and brio, its influence, and its truth. It has all the elements of classic Dickens — endearing, flawed characters; a plot that skewers the politics of the time; subplots that skewer morality and culture; a love story; and a wonderful storyline.
《遠大前程》或許是最地道的英國小說。成年讀者重溫狄更斯經典,就會發現其智慧與精彩、影響與真理。《遠大前程》有狄更斯經典的所有元素,討人歡喜卻不完美的角色、主要故事情節能牽住時局、副線情節串起道德與文化,是部情節精彩的愛情故事作品。
經典名句
I love her against reason, against promise, against peace, against hope, against happiness, against all discouragement that could be. Once for all.
我愛她是違背常理,是妨礙前程,是失去自製,是破滅希望,是斷送幸福,是註定要嘗盡一切的沮喪和失望的。可是,一旦愛上了她,我再也不能不愛她。
09
《弗蘭肯斯坦》
Frankenstein
瑪莉•雪萊 Mary Shelley
This pioneering work of science fiction and Gothic horror developed an indelible "monster" of a theme that has endured for centuries: of the scientist as a "modern Prometheus".
這部先鋒作品集科幻和哥德式恐怖於一身,營造了一個難以磨滅的「惡魔」主題,即科學家中的「現代普羅米修斯」,幾世紀以來經久不衰。
經典名句

《名利場》
Vanity Fair
威廉•梅克皮斯•薩克雷
William Makepeace Thackeray
This novel features probably the greatest anti-heroine in English literature, Becky Sharp, and a plot that revolves around class, social climbing and a financial crisis that will seem eerily familiar to modern readers.
這部小說的主角或許是英國文學史上最知名的非正統派女主角——貝奇•夏普,小說的情節圍繞階級、躋身上流社會以及引發現代讀者奇異的熟悉感的金融危機。
