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.

《野性的呼喚》是由20世紀(jì)初美國著名小說家杰克·倫敦所著,并于1903年發(fā)表。全書以19世紀(jì)淘金熱為大背景,當(dāng)時,強壯的拉雪橇的狗成為搶手貨。小說主人公是一條名叫巴克的狗,本來它是家養(yǎng)的,但被人偷走,變賣到生存環(huán)境十分惡劣的阿拉斯加,去拉雪橇。巴克不得不強迫自己適應(yīng)環(huán)境,與其他的狗打架爭奪地位,最終生存下來,并成為動物群中的首領(lǐng)。該書出版后,即給杰克倫敦贏得巨大聲譽。早在1908年,該書就被改編成電影,此后,又多次被拍攝成電影。小說《白狼》于1906年出版發(fā)行,大背景也是19世紀(jì)的淘金熱潮,也是從狗的角度,來看待人類的小說,可以說是《野性的呼喚》的姊妹篇,小說在人性、道德與救贖方面都有很深刻的探索。該小說多次被排成電影,最后一次是1991年,被好萊塢排成電影,受到觀眾們的歡迎。本版本是美國人最認(rèn)可的哥登堡權(quán)威本。
