Often called the greatest novel ever written, War and Peace is at once an epic of the Napoleonic Wars, a philosophical study, and a celebration of the Russian spirit. Tolstoy’s genius is seen clearly in the multitude of characters in this massive chronicle—all of them fully realized and equally memorable.While it expresses Tolstoy's view that history is an inexorable process which man cannot influence, he peoples his great novel with a cast of over five hundred characters. Out of this complex narrative emerges a profound examination of the individual’s place in the historical process, one that makes it clear why Thomas Mann praised Tolstoy for his Homeric powers and placed War and Peace in the same category as the Iliad: “To read him . . . is to find one’ s way home . . . to everything within us that is fundamental and sane.”

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.

The History of Pendennis: His Fortunes and Misfortunes, His Friends and His Greatest Enemy (1848–1850) is a novel by the English author William Makepeace Thackeray. The novel took two years for him to write. Set in 19th century London, England, this novel features a young English gentleman Arthur Pendennis born in the country who sets out to seek his place in life and society. The novel portrays his love affairs with the callous Blanche Amory and poor Fanny. Both of them marry other people, and Pendennis finally weds Laura Bell, his adopted sister, who had always loved him. The characters include the snobbish social hanger-on Major Pendennis and the tipsy Captain Costigan. Miss Amory and Sir Francis Clavering are somewhat reminiscent of Becky Sharp and Sir Pitt from Vanity Fair. In line with other Thackeray's works, Pendennis offers an insightful and satiric picture of human character and aristocratic society. The masterful characterizations include the snobbish Major Pendennis and the tipsy Captain Costigan.

小说梗概是这样的，格雷先生是一幅油画里的男模特。画家姓郝沃特，他对格雷的帅气英俊的长相所迷倒。他自认为，如此的帅气英俊，完全可以引领一种新的画风。格雷通过画家郝沃特又结识了亨利·沃顿爵士。而沃顿爵士对享乐主义的人生态度，感到好奇与着魔。沃顿爵士认为，人活一生，*重要的也*值得追求的，就是拥有美貌与满足肉欲。这一观，格雷听了去，并走了心。他认识到自己的美貌终将会消失。于是，格雷想出一折：他想出售自己的灵魂，以换取画中的他而不是现实生活中的他，替代他始变老直至死去。这一愿望居然达成了。格雷于是在实际生活中追求各种各样的不洁的道德上有巨大瑕疵的生活，同时，还能保持自己的容颜不老，帅气英俊。只不过画中人，也就是他自己，则按常人一样变老，而且，纪录下了他的每一次恶行。 在享乐主义观念作用下，他始追求一个姓斯比尔的姑娘。她是莎士比亚《罗密欧与朱丽叶》剧中的朱丽叶的扮演者。只不过，她所在的剧团并不是什么有名的剧团，而是一个名不见经传的小演出团体，只是在当时伦敦的贫民窟附近的破烂台子上演出。格雷追求了没多久，便始求婚了。欣喜若狂的斯比尔姑娘天真地以为自己找到了真命天子，给格雷起了个甜甜的绰号：迷人的王子，自己则完全陷了盲目的爱情漩涡里不能自拔。但她哥哥则看出门道，一直不断地向她发出警告，并威胁格雷说，假如他在游戏人生，玩弄他妹妹的感情的话，他会宰了格雷。 格雷邀请郝沃特和亨利·沃顿爵士去看斯比尔的演出，斯比尔由于过度紧张，结果演砸了。二人一致认为格雷是昏了头，主要是看上斯比尔的娇美的面容，而不是表演才能而爱上斯比尔的。格雷感到十分尴尬，于是，对斯比尔冷言相对，斥责她说表演才能才是她应该具备的美，而不是其他。没有表演才能，她对于他而言一钱不值。 回到家后，格雷发现那幅油画里的人物表情的确有了变化。他的愿望的确达成，画中人的面目表情里始含有某种嘲讽的冷酷感。感受到良心发现，格雷决定向斯比尔道歉，并修复关系以达到和好如初。但太晚了，她已经自杀。这时他才发现原来自己的一生所前行的方向到底是什么。原来，自己已经在无耻的人生道路上一路狂奔了下去，他始吸食鸦片，斯比尔的哥哥也在到处找寻他的踪影，要他偿还斯比尔的血债。*后，他的秘密终于被揭穿，毁灭的命运在等待着他。小说结尾时，他将一把刀插自己的胸膛而死。

该作讲述1348年，意大利佛罗伦萨瘟疫流行，10名男女在乡村一所别墅里避难。他们终日游玩欢宴，每人每天讲一个故事，共住了10天讲了百个故事，这些故事批判天主教会，嘲笑教会传授黑暗和罪恶，赞美爱情是才华和高尚情操的源泉，谴责禁欲主义，无情暴露和鞭挞封建贵族的堕落和腐败，体现了人文主义思想。《十日谈》是欧洲文学史上部现实主义巨著；意大利近代评论家桑克提斯曾把《十日谈》与但丁的《神曲》并列，称之为“人曲”。

为什么要给自己的作品起名为看上去希腊语味道十足的“十日谈”—— Decameron呢？从书名上就可以看得出来，薄伽丘对希腊语超级热爱。这个词由两个希腊语单词元素组成：δ?κα= déka ("十"的意思)；?μ?ρα= hēméra ("天"之意思)。合二为一，就是“十天（里发生的故事）”的意思。至于“谈”，是中文翻译时另加上去，将“发生的故事”用“谈”来诠释。1348年，意大利的佛罗伦萨爆发了大瘟疫——黑死病。第天都有无数人死在家里、街头。大批尸体被运到城外。但运送者也会因此染病而死。短短数月，死亡人数达10万以上，昔日繁华的佛罗伦萨变成了一片又一片的大坟场。后来这场瘟疫席卷了整个欧洲，欧洲人口锐减一半以上。薄伽丘深刻地感受到了这场瘟疫带来的巨大影响。他也是以这场瘟疫为背景写下相关作品的*人。小说故事发生在一远离瘟疫的乡间别墅里，一共来了十个青年男女躲避瘟疫。大家约定好以讲故事发日子。每人每天讲一则故事，一天就产生出十个故事。《十日谈》里的故事大都是发生过的真人真事。有歌颂现世生活的，有赞美爱情的，有歌颂自由可贵的。同时，也有故事旨在揭露做官的凶残与暴虐，教会教士修女们的虚伪等。当然，其中还有故事讲诉了命运之力量对人的精神世界的操控，人的意志之力量对人的精神世界的操控。有故事还揭示人与人之间的欺诈与哄骗。其实，不难看出，薄伽丘的《十日谈》里除真人真事故事以外，还有一些故事是来自于历史事件、传说，甚至还参考了东方的某些民间故事，有些故事则感觉明显受《天方夜谭》的影响。作者将故事情节移植过来，然后冠以人文主义思想，再讲述给欧洲读者听。值得指出的是，该作品从头到尾被商业推销行为所能容忍的规范笼罩着。商业常见的小机灵，小把戏等小聪明被抬高到一个新的高度。恶意使坏、勾心斗角等行为被作者行了某种鞭笞。在中世纪的人们来看，将忠诚、孝心这些美德与商场上的恶意使坏和勾心斗角相比，后者是不可被受的。
