"It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife." Next to the exhortation at the beginning of Moby-Dick, "Call me Ishmael," the first sentence of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice must be among the most quoted in literature. And certainly what Melville did for whaling Austen does for marriage--tracing the intricacies (not to mention the economics) of 19th-century British mating rituals with a sure hand and an unblinking eye. As usual, Austen trains her sights on a country village and a few families--in this case, the Bennets, the Philips, and the Lucases. Into their midst comes Mr. Bingley, a single man of good fortune, and his friend, Mr. Darcy, who is even richer. Mrs. Bennet, who married above her station, sees their arrival as an opportunity to marry off at least one of her five daughters. Bingley is complaisant and easily charmed by the eldest Bennet girl, Jane; Darcy, however, is harder to please. Put off by Mrs. Bennet's vulgar

Poirot Murder of Roger Ackroyd 罗杰疑案（阿加莎侦探小说） 9780007141340
This novel, written in 1927, is considered the best and most successful of the early mysteries. It met with no small outrage when it appeared, as it uses a plot device many readers thought "unfair." There is a full complement of characters populating the cozy English village of King''s Abbot: Major Blunt, Colonel Carter, Miss Gannett, the butler, the housekeeper, the narrator, Dr. Sheppard, and his know-it-all sister (the precursor of Miss Marple, according to Christie), and, of course, the redoubtable Hercule Poirot and his little grey cells. There are clues with a capital C to mislead us, and the listener gets so involved with these red herrings (or not) that the very simple truth eludes the puzzler. Venerable reader Robin Bailey keeps the light, almost comic tone alive, although his voices are not particularly differentiated, and often he rushes the reading of dialog. A classic of the genre and essential for any fiction collection. Harriet Edwards, East Meadow P.L., NY

Anna Karenina (Centennial Edition)
Amazon.com Some people say Anna Karenina is the single greatest novel everwritten, which makes about as much sense to me as trying todetermine the world's greatest color. But there is no doubt thatAnna Karenina, generally considered Tolstoy's best book, isdefinitely one ripping great read. Anna, miserable in her lovelessmarriage, does the barely thinkable and succumbs to her desires forthe dashing Vronsky. I don't want to give away the ending, but Iwill say that 19th-century Russia doesn't take well to that sort ofthing. --This text refers to the Paperback edition. From School Library Journal Grade 7 Up-Tolstoy's novel dramatized by BBC Radio.

A novel complex, compelling, absurd and realistic, Herzog became a classic almost as soon as it was publishedin 1964. In it Saul Bellow tells the tale of Moses E. Herzog, atragically confused intellectual who suffers from the breakup ofhis second marriage, the general failure of his life and thespecter of growing up Jewish in the middle part of the 20thcentury. He responds to his personal crisis by sending out a seriesof letters to all kinds of people. The letters in total constitutea thoughtful examination of his own life and that which hasoccurred around him. What emerges is not always pretty, but servesas gritty foundation for this absorbing novel. --This textrefers to the AudioCassette edition.

作者简介 Herman Melville was born in 1819 in New York City. After his father's death he left school for a series of clerical jobs before going to sea as a young man of nineteen. At twenty-one he shipped aboard the whaler Acushnet and began a series of adventures in the South Seas that would last for three years and form the basis for his first two novels, Typee and Omoo. Although these two novels sold well and gained for Melville a measure of fame, nineteenth-century readers were puzzled by the experiments with form that he began with his third novel, Mardi, and continued brilliantly in his masterpiece, Moby-Dick. During his later years spent working as a customs inspector on the New York docks, Melville published only poems, compiled in a collection entitled Battle-Pieces, and died in 1891 with Billy Budd, Sailor, now considered a classic, still unpublished.

The Moonstone(Wordsworth Classics)月亮宝石 9781853260445
Spotlight Reviews 1.The First and Greatest English Detective Novel?, May 12, 2003 Reviewer: A. Wolverton (Crofton, MD United States) As many reviewers have noted, T.S. Eliot called `The Moonstone' "the first and greatest English detective novel." Is the novel worthy of such praise? We shall see... The story begins with a brief prologue describing how the famous yellow diamond was captured during a military campaign in India by a British officer in 1799. The action moves quickly to 1848 England, where, according to the British officer's will, the diamond has been given to one of the soldier's young relatives, Rachel Verinder. Yet only hours after the diamond arrives at the Verinder estate, it disappears. Was it stolen by a relative? A servant? And who are these three Indian men who keep hanging around the estate? `The Moonstone' is told from the point of view of several characters. The first portion of the tale is told by Gabriel Betteredge, house steward of the Verinder estate, who has been working for
