哈姆雷特（英文版）

莎士比亞最有名的四大悲劇之一《哈姆雷特》，創(chuàng)作于1601年，時(shí)值歐洲文藝復(fù)興運(yùn)動(dòng)進(jìn)入晚期和英國(guó)伊麗莎白女王去世（1603年）前兩年，因而，《哈姆雷特》不僅體現(xiàn)了文藝復(fù)興的思想意識(shí)，而且反映了英國(guó)社會(huì)轉(zhuǎn)型時(shí)期的種種矛盾沖突。《哈姆雷特》的悲劇性包含了四個(gè)主要層次：第一個(gè)層次涉及謀殺君王，篡奪王位，進(jìn)而謀害王子的政治悲劇成分。第二層次涉及代表著文明進(jìn)步的正面人物同丑惡與罪惡展開斗爭(zhēng)的社會(huì)悲劇成分。第三層次涉及因盲目而卷入政治沖突而導(dǎo)致毀滅的家庭悲劇成分。第四層次涉及愛情被摧殘、被利用的愛情悲劇成分。

神曲：煉獄篇（英文版）

《神曲》是但丁1307年至1321在放逐期間寫的一部長(zhǎng)詩。全詩分為三部《地獄篇》（已經(jīng)收錄并出版在“最經(jīng)典英語文庫”第一輯里）、《煉獄篇》（本輯已收錄）和《天堂篇》。每部33首，最前面增加一首序詩，共100首，描繪了詩人但丁在維吉爾和貝阿特麗采的指引下，幻游地獄、煉獄、天堂三界的故事。寫出《神曲·地獄篇》的但丁是個(gè)戰(zhàn)士。說但丁是“戰(zhàn)士”，是由于他早年積極參加反封建貴族的政治斗爭(zhēng)，并為此被判處終身流放，拒絕屈服，直至客死他鄉(xiāng)。說《神曲》是“夢(mèng)幻現(xiàn)實(shí)巨著”，是因?yàn)樗粌H借助了夢(mèng)幻中神游三界的文學(xué)形式，而且極其廣泛地包含了當(dāng)時(shí)意大利的社會(huì)政治和文化方面的情況，描寫了詩人幻游中遇到的上百個(gè)各種類型的人物，對(duì)政治黨爭(zhēng)、教會(huì)罪惡、哲學(xué)、神學(xué)、科學(xué)、藝術(shù)等諸多方面都做了藝術(shù)性的闡述和總結(jié)，堪稱歐洲中世紀(jì)的百科全書。此次，“最經(jīng)典英語文庫”出版的是第二部分《煉獄篇》，也是《地獄篇》改惡從善歷程的繼續(xù)。美國(guó)19世紀(jì)著名詩人朗費(fèi)羅，通過精確的理解，將《神曲》翻譯成英語，現(xiàn)在這個(gè)英譯本已成為英語世界里的精品。法國(guó)19世紀(jì)著名版畫家、雕刻家和插圖作家古斯塔夫·多雷，通過精確的理解，為其作了充實(shí)飽滿、質(zhì)感強(qiáng)烈、精美異常的插圖。通過閱讀這部《神曲》，我們可以了解但丁，了解“地獄”，了解“煉獄”，也可以了解“天堂”（將出版）。

月亮與六便士：The Moon and Sixpence（英文版）

1919年，毛姆45歲時(shí)，發(fā)表了這部《月亮與六便士》。小說故事情節(jié)相對(duì)比較簡(jiǎn)單：某進(jìn)入中年的英國(guó)券商，忽然決定拋妻棄子，跟隨內(nèi)心長(zhǎng)久以來積壓著的念頭，立志要成為一個(gè)藝術(shù)家。這個(gè)故事的源頭來自畫家高更的生平故事。這種行為并不為世俗社會(huì)所認(rèn)可。本來作為一個(gè)券商，手里有大把大把的鈔票可以揮霍過活，為什么非要當(dāng)什么藝術(shù)家？為什么最后連生存都變成一個(gè)問題？結(jié)果，這位想成為藝術(shù)家的券商后來連個(gè)住處都找不到，身體也患上了疾病，混到了沒有錢買食物果腹，整天挨餓的境地。也許，藝術(shù)家的世界，凡夫俗子們永遠(yuǎn)不會(huì)懂。這位藝術(shù)家不僅沒有被這種境地嚇倒，反而愈加堅(jiān)強(qiáng)地活了下去。而且，不顧身體上的疾病帶來的不適，也無視周遭環(huán)境的惡劣程度，一心撲在繪畫的創(chuàng)作之中。在太平洋的一個(gè)叫作塔西提的小島上，他創(chuàng)作出了讓人看一眼就會(huì)產(chǎn)生蕩氣回腸感覺的“杰作”。但此時(shí)，他已經(jīng)溘然長(zhǎng)逝。那么，為什么叫“月亮與六便士”？其實(shí)，用毛姆自己的話說，這個(gè)書名的意義并沒有在書里得到應(yīng)有的展示，而是出自某評(píng)論家在評(píng)論上述《人性的枷鎖》時(shí)所寫的某句話。原話如下：《人性的枷鎖》里的主人公菲利普·凱利（PhilipCarey）被形容為一個(gè)太過執(zhí)著找尋月亮的家伙，以至于他從來沒發(fā)現(xiàn)過腳底下就有一塊六便士。毛姆后來這樣解釋道：“假如你低頭在地上不住地要找尋一塊六便士硬幣，頭也不抬起來一下，那么，你就會(huì)丟掉月亮。”

雙城記（A Tale of Two Cities）

《雙城記》屬“壹力文庫·百靈鳥英文經(jīng)典”系列叢書，是英國(guó)作家查爾斯·狄更斯所著的一部以法國(guó)大革命為背景的長(zhǎng)篇?dú)v史小說，首次出版于1859年。小說將巴黎、倫敦兩個(gè)大城市連結(jié)起來，圍繞著曼內(nèi)特醫(yī)生一家和以德伐日夫婦為首的圣安東尼區(qū)展開故事。小說里描寫了貴族如何敗壞、如何殘害百姓，人民心中積壓對(duì)貴族的刻骨仇恨，導(dǎo)致了不可避免的法國(guó)大革命。書名中的“雙城”指的是巴黎與倫敦。小說的意義在于借古諷今，以法國(guó)大革命的歷史經(jīng)驗(yàn)為啟發(fā)，試圖用文學(xué)為社會(huì)矛盾日益加深的英國(guó)尋找一條出路。
