“Oh, go away and leave me alone,” growled Eustace. But he took a drop from her flask, and though he said it was beastly stuff (the smell in the cabin when she opened it was delicious) it is certain that his face came the right colour a few moments after he had swallowed it, and he must have felt better because, instead of wailing about the storm and his head, he began demanding to be put ashore and said that at the first port he would “lodge a disposition” against them all with the British Consul. But when Reepicheep asked what a disposition was and how you lodged it (Reepicheep thought it was some new way of arranging a single combat) Eustace could only reply, “Fancy not knowing that.” In thend they succeeded in convincing Eustace that they were ready sailing as fast as they could towards the nearest land hey knew, and that they had no more power of sending im back to Cambridge.which was where Uncle Harold ved.than of sending him to the moon. After that he ulkily agreed to put on the fresh clothes which had been ut out for him and come on deck.

死婴:灵与魂的夭亡(马丁·艾米斯作品)
一出巧妙邪恶的黑色闹剧,一场自甘沉沦的死亡狂欢,英国文坛教父马丁·艾米斯洞察社会荒诞现象。六个年轻人聚在伦敦郊区一栋大房子里度周末,来了三个美国客人,于是激起了他们的欲望。他们酗酒无度、放荡不羁,然后又是一连串的殴打、谋杀、撞车等暴行。从周五清晨到周日,那栋房子里的人“觉得自己仿佛走过漫漫长途,在这个突然而至的周末,被助产士又从母腹中接出来,重生一遍”。作者以幽默、讽刺的笔调,将上世纪六七十年代西方世界掀起的激进自由主义的社会风暴如实展现在读者面前。这场风暴冲垮了西方道德传统的底线,对一代人造成巨大的冲击与伤害,把一个个纯真善良的年轻人变成“文明的野蛮人”,成为人类历史长河中的一股逆流。他们与其说是活得潇洒,不如说是行尸走肉,他们是还没有长大成人便已经死去的婴孩躯壳。变形记:中短篇小说集(卡夫卡小说全集)
本书囊括了卡夫卡所有的中短篇小说,其中《变形记》、《在流放地》、《在法的大门前》、《饥饿的艺术家》、《乡村教师》等都是脍炙人口的名篇。它们均采用象征、隐喻、夸张等手法,情节生动,语言简洁流畅;故事怪诞离奇,无确定的时间和地点,无前因后果,给人以梦幻、神秘、奇特的感觉。作品的主人公几乎都处于一种身不由己的境地,他们在离奇古怪的世界中都有自己的目标,但往往又以失败而告终。逃离
《逃离》是2013年诺贝尔奖得主艾丽丝·门罗代表作,讲述爱的力量和无止境的背叛,讲述琐碎生活中的不安分、错过的机会,讲述一次又一次的逃离,以及人们为此付出的代价。门罗关注日常生活,善于捕捉人与人之间复杂而微妙的关系。不同年龄、不同境况中的人,在门罗朴实克制的文笔下生动鲜活,似可触摸。每个人总会遇到什么事,什么人,让你觉得像肺里什么地方扎进去了一根致命的针,浅一些呼吸时可能不感到疼。可是每当需要深深吸进去一口气时,便能觉出那根针一直存在。无尾狗:农村少年底层生存的挣扎
这是人存于世的生活经验、情欲经验、政治经验和生存经验。这些经验告诉我们,有镶金边的。《无尾狗》成书5年,6易书稿,也许它不仅仅是河北一个农村和一个城镇居民几十年的活之生存、生之尊严。人活着能屈能伸,能上能下,能长能短,能入能出,能软能硬,海绵体也是这样。海绵体色胆包天,又胆小如鼠。大约也只有阿丁完整还原了人的海绵体,在读完之后,我们会发现,确实没有更好的喻体,能象征人这个苟活于大地的物种了。作者在作品中描述了从小孩到老人,在面对不同生活境遇时,以多重奏的叙述手法,以全视角与个人的第一视角立体全面的展现了他们最真实的人性。
