The Spirit of the Chinese People
作者 : 辜鸿铭
本书原载1914年的《中国评论》，1915年更名《春秋大义》在京出版，并很快被译成德文，一时轰动西方。本书力阐中国传统文化对西方文明的价值，在当时中国文化面临歧视、中华民族遭受欺凌的情况下，其影响尤为特殊。当然，对于我们现在的读者，这首先该是一本极为宝贵的英语读物。

A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man
作者 : 乔伊斯
With an Introduction and Notes by Dr. Jacqueline Belanger, University of Cardiff A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man represents the transitional stage between the realism of Joyce's Dubliners and the symbolism of Ulysses, and is essential to the understanding of the later work.The novel is a highly autobiographical account of the adolescence of Stephen Dedalus, who reappears in Ulysses, and who comes to realize that before he can become a true artist, he must rid himself of the stultifying effects of the religion, politics and essential bigotry of his background in late 19th century Ireland. Written with a light touch,this is perhaps the most accessible of Joyce's works.

When Carson McCullers was a teenager, she came to New York City to study piano at Juilliard. She never matriculated; she lost the purse with her tuition money in it. Such small, unredressed tragedies as these are at the silent, solitary heart of McCullers' first novel, which centers on a deaf-mute and a teenage tomboy living in a small Georgia town in the 1930s. McCullers' characters reach out to one another for sympathy and understanding, but not all of them can complete the connection, and their isolated thoughts form a choir of amazing, transcendent poignance—music only the reader can hear. —L.G.

SONNETS FROM THE PORTUGUESE AND OTHER LOVE POEMS
作者 : 伊丽莎白·巴雷特·勃朗宁
ELIZABETH BARRETT BROWNING[伊丽莎白·巴雷特·勃朗宁]于公元1806年出生在达翰姆（英格兰北部一郡）。1838年，她出版了《撒拉弗和其它诗篇》[撒拉佛——六翼天使(九级天使中地位最高者)，又称：炽爱天使]。1843年，由于当时英国的最高统治者是女性，伊丽莎白于国家诗人的提名得到了更加广泛的支持。结果很不幸，她输给了威廉·华兹华斯--同一时代的另一位伟大诗人[有机会笔者会撰文介绍此人]。此后不久，伊利沙白与罗伯特·勃朗宁——另一位有才华的诗人，结婚了。然而，伊丽莎白的父亲，却不同意这场婚事。于是，这对情侣决定出逃。并由此，引发了一场浪漫的婚姻。伊丽莎白与罗伯特·勃朗宁准备各自出发，逃往意大利，并在比萨会合，去继续他们的生活。他们成功了。三年后，即1849年，他们已在意大利中部的佛罗伦萨定居。一日，伊丽莎白送给她的丈夫一件珍贵的礼物——44首她为丈夫写的十四行诗，里面有开始时的怀疑，与家庭抗争的恐惧，与爱人的甜蜜，及最终爱的胜利的喜悦。同年，他们唯一的男孩出生了。一年后，即1850年，勃朗宁夫妇出版了那44首诗，但做了些伪装。他们用葡萄牙十四行诗集为这44首诗命名。如此一来，读者便会接受这些诗是由葡萄牙语翻译过来的的暗示。于是，我们今天可以看到如此表达真爱和深爱的诗句。伊丽莎白的浪漫婚姻促成了她的，也是整个维多利亚时代的，最美丽的爱情商籁体诗。
