威尔基•柯林斯
¥99.99
本套书包括《白衣女人5册》和《月亮宝石5册》共10册。《白衣女人》本书为作者开创了写侦探小说的先河,也为英国文学另辟了一条蹊径。作品主要讲述了:青年画家哈特莱特与她的学生劳拉?弗尔利坠入情网,可是罗拉的父亲在生前已经为她寻了一门亲事。在罗拉的姐姐玛琳?哈克贝的建议下,哈特来离开了蒙里基庄园,到国外工作。罗拉只能遵从父亲的遗愿,嫁给风流倜傥的皮斯威尔?格莱德先生。然而,皮斯维尔因其父母没有结婚登记而没有继承权,他负债累累,一心想要得到罗拉小姐两万英镑的遗产。他和罗拉的姑父密谋,把与罗拉相像的白衣女子安妮?凯撒里克害死,对外谎称罗拉得病而死,并把罗拉当做白衣女子送回疯人院……《月亮宝石》被誉为部长和秀的现代侦探小说。是英国维多利亚时期小说家威尔基·柯林斯创作的长篇小说。该作写一颗钻石(月亮宝石)神秘失踪,后为探长克夫所侦破。作品情节惊险曲折,结局出人意外。故事是由一颗宝石引起的。相传,印度有一颗月亮宝石,它镶嵌在一座四只手的印度神的额头之上,由三个婆罗门守护。宝石的光泽随着月亮的变化而变化,神曾经预言,谁要是拿走了这颗宝石谁就会受到诅咒。十八世纪初,月亮宝石被抢,这颗价值连城的宝石辗转被传到了英国。正如预言所说,它的拥有者都离奇死去。后来,这颗宝石落到了英国军官司亨卡斯尔上校的手中。在他将此作为生日礼物赠送给外甥女雷茜尔后,宝石突然失踪,经过一番周折,案件终于真相大白,月亮宝石后又回到了月亮神的前额之上。作者在小说中大胆地披露了英国在印度犯下的滔天罪行,要求英国人以人道主义精神面对世界,其中还不失时机地表达了自己的愿望,表明自己希望英国不要成为被世界人民痛恨的国度,不要两手沾满无辜的老百姓们的鲜血。这部小说并没有对英国国内的政治给予直接的披露,而是通过数件沾满血腥的案件有力地抨击了英国上层社会的领导者。

George Eliot
¥99.99
George Eliot's novel The Mill on the Floss, orginally published in 1860 as three volumes. Maggie Tulliver is the protagonist and the story begins when she is 9 years old. Maggie Tulliver’s entire life has been spent in the shadow of Dorlcote Mill on the River Floss with her beloved older brother, Tom.The Mill on the Floss is the story of Maggie Tulliver’s search for love, and acceptance by her family and community, and of her need for intellectual and spiritual growth. Her relationship with her older brother Tom, and her romantic relationships with Philip Wakem and with Stephen Guest constitute the most significant narrative threads. Misunderstood Maggie Tulliver is torn. Her rebellious and passionate nature demands expression, while her provincial kin and community expect self-denial. Based closely on the author's own life, Maggie's story explores the conflicts of love and loyalty and the friction between desire and moral responsibility. A classic work of 19th century literature, "The Mill on the Floss" remains a popular and enduring example of George Eliot's impact on English literature.

Washington Irving
¥99.99
In the early 1800s, John Astor made the fateful decision to make good on his long-held dream of establishing a fur-trading company in the Northwest United States. Astor later convinced Washington Irving, one of the most important figures in nineteenth-century American literature, to create a non-fiction account of the operation's origins. The result, Astoria, is a fascinating work of history. Astoria is a history book published in 1836 by Washington Irving. The full title being "Astoria: Or, Enterprise Beyond the Rocky Mountains". The book was commissioned by John Jacob Astor as an official history of his company's expedition to Oregon in 1810–1812. The book became a bestseller in 1836 and at the time was required reading in some schools. Astoria has been read as a vivid and fascinating history, comparable indeed to the finest of romances, but rooted in the rough and hardy life of trapping, hunting, and exploration.

Thomas Hardy
¥90.09
Thomas Hardy’s final novel “Jude the Obscure” began as a serial publication on December 1894 before being published in book form the following year. It is the story of its titular character Jude Fawley, a young lower-class man with dreams of being a scholar, and his relationships with his wife, Arabella, and his free-spirited cousin, Sue Bridehead. The novel follows the life of Jude from his youth living in a village in southern England where he works in a bakery and studies Classical Greek and Latin in his spare time with hopes of one day becoming a scholar at Christminster, a fictional city modeled after Oxford. His dreams are dashed however when he becomes ensnared by deceit into marriage with Arabella Donn, a coarse and superficial girl. What follows is a classic and tragic tale that plays upon many themes, principally of which is the idea that one’s ruinous downfall is the product of having lived a sinful life. Having been harshly criticized in its day for its scandalous portrayals, “Jude the Obscure” has since been recognized as one of Hardy’s finest and most intricate works.

Anne Bronte
¥99.99
本套书包括《艾格妮丝·格雷3册》和《威尔德菲尔庄园的房客6册》共9册。《艾格妮丝·格雷》Agnes Grey is the debut novel of English author Anne Bront? (writing under the pen name of Acton Bell), first published in December 1847, and republished in a second edition in 1850. The novel follows Agnes Grey, a governess, as she works within families of the English gentry. Scholarship and comments by Anne's sister Charlotte Bront? suggest the novel is largely based on Anne Bront?'s own experiences as a governess for five years. Agnes, her sister Mary, and their mother all try to keep expenses low and bring in extra money, but Agnes is frustrated that everyone treats her like a child. To prove herself and to earn money, she is determined to get a position as a governess. Eventually, she obtains a recommendation from a well-placed acquaintance, is offered a position, and secures her parents' permission. With some misgivings, she travels to Wellwood house to work for the Bloomfield family. The choice of central character allows Anne to deal with issues of oppression and abuse of women and governesses, isolation and ideas of empathy. An additional theme is the fair treatment of animals. Agnes Grey also mimics some of the stylistic approaches of bildungsromans, employing ideas of personal growth and coming to age, but representing a character who in fact does not gain in virtue.《威尔德菲尔庄园的房客》This work is the second and final novel by the English author Anne Bront?. It was first published in 1848 under the pseudonym Acton Bell. Probably the most shocking of the Bront?s' novels, it had an instant and phenomenal success, but after Anne's death her sister Charlotte prevented its re-publication. Most critics now consider The Tenant of Wildfell Hall to be one of the first feminist novels. The novel is framed as a series of letters from Gilbert Markham to his friend and brother-in-law about the events connected with the meeting of his wife. A mysterious young widow arrives at Wildfell Hall, an Elizabethan mansion which has been empty for many years, with her young son and a servant. She lives there in strict seclusion under the assumed name Helen Graham and soon finds herself the victim of local slander. Refusing to believe anything scandalous about her, Gilbert befriends Helen and discovers her past. In her diary, Helen depicts her husband's physical and moral decline through alcohol and her desperate attempts to save their son from his influence in the dissipated aristocratic society from which she ultimately flees. The depiction of marital strife and women's professional identification has also a strong moral message mitigated by the authors's belief in universal salvation.
