世界名著的简介

Published to widespread success in 1847 under the androgynous pseudonym of "Currer Bell," Jane Eyre catapulted 31-year-old Charlotte Bront? into the upper echelon of Victorian writers. Though it presumably relates events from the first decade of the 19th century, contemporary Victorians, particularly women, identified with Bront?'s critique of Victorian class and gender mores.

The novel also utilizes two literary traditions, the Bildungsroman and the Gothic novel, to great effect. The Germanic Bildungsroman?a "novel of formation" or, less formally, a coming-of-age story?takes the reader through a character's young adulthood as she defines her identity against forces of opposition. Bront? used features of the Gothic novel, including the supernatural, mysteries, and unrequited romances, to temper Jane Eyre and give it a darker, more tragic bent.

The novel is modeled on Bront?'s own life, particularly the Lowood section. Bront? wrote of the novel, "I will show you a heroine as plain and as small as myself," and Jane is one of a string of Bront? heroines to break the mold by being considered unattractive. Like Jane, Bront? was a governess. She attended the harsh Evangelical Cowan Bridge school, on which she modeled Lowood, and two of her sisters died of tuberculosis there, as does Helen Burns at Lowood. John Reed's descent into gambling and alcoholism parallels the behavior of Jane's beloved brother, Branwell, who took to opium and alcohol (Branwell died the year after Jane Eyre was published).

The success of Jane Eyre allowed Bront? to reveal her true identity to her publisher?uncovering yet another connection to the novel, that of Jane's initial refusal to provide her real name to the Rivers siblings until she learns of her inheritance.
这是书的简介 下面是内容的简介
Ten-year-old orphan Jane Eyre lives unhappily with her wealthy, cruel cousins and aunt at Gateshead. Her only salvation from her daily humiliations, such as being locked up in a "red-room" (where she thinks she sees her beloved uncle's ghost), is the kindly servant, Bessie. Jane is spared further mistreatment from the Reed family when she is sent off to school at Lowood, but there, under the hypocritical Evangelicalism of the headmaster, Mr. Brocklehurst, she suffers further privations in the austere environment. She befriends Helen Burns, who upholds a doctrine of Christian forgiveness and tolerance, and is taken under the wing of the superintendent, Miss Temple. An outbreak of typhus alerts benefactors to the school's terrible conditions, Mr. Brocklehurst is replaced, and Jane excels as a student for six years and as a teacher for two.

Jane finds employment as a governess at the estate of Thornfield for a little girl, Adèle. After much waiting, Jane finally meets her employer, Edward Rochester, a brooding, detached man who seems to have a dark past. Other oddities around Thornfield include the occasional demonic laugh Jane hears emanating from the third-story attic. Rochester always attributes it to Grace Poole, the seamstress who works up there, but Jane is never fully convinced, and the fire she has to put out one night in Rochester's bedroom plants further doubts.

Meanwhile, Jane develops an attraction for Rochester, not based on looks (both are considered plain) but on their intellectual communion. However, the higher social standing of the beautiful Miss Ingram seemingly vaults her above Jane. Though Rochester flirts with the idea of marrying Miss Ingram, he is aware of her financial ambitions for marriage. An old acquaintance of Rochester's, Richard Mason, visits Thornfield and is severely injured from an attack‹apparently from Grace‹in the middle of the night in the attic. Jane, baffled by the circumstances, tends to him, and Rochester confesses to her that he made an error in the past that he hopes to overturn by marrying Miss Ingram. He says that he has another governess position for Jane lined up elsewhere.

Jane returns to Gateshead for a while to see the dying Mrs. Reed. When she returns to Thornfield, Rochester says he knows Miss Ingram is after him only for his money, and he asks Jane to marry him. Jane accepts, but a month later, Mason and a solicitor, Mr. Briggs, interrupt the ceremony by revealing that Rochester already has a wife: Bertha Mason, Mason's sister, a lunatic who is kept in the attic in Thornfield. Rochester confesses his past misdeeds to Jane. In his youth he needed to marry the wealthy Bertha for money, but was unaware of her family's history of madness, and over time she became an incorrigible, dangerous part of his life which only imprisonment could solve. Despite his protests that he loves Jane, she cannot agree to marry him because of his previous marriage, and leaves Thornfield.

Jane arrives at the desolate crossroads of Whitcross and is reduced to begging for food. Fortunately, the Rivers siblings‹St. John, Diana, and Mary‹take her into their home at Moor House. She develops great affection for the ladies, while the stoically religious St. John is harder to get close to, and happily teaches at St. John's school. Jane learns that she has inherited a vast fortune from her uncle, and that the Rivers siblings are her cousins. She divides it among her new family and phases out her teaching duties.

St. John is going to go on missionary work in India and repeatedly asks Jane to accompany him as his wife; she refuses, since it would mean compromising her capacity for passion in a loveless marriage. Instead, she is drawn to thoughts of Rochester and, one day, after experiencing a mystical connection with him, seeks him out at Thornfield. She discovers that the estate has been burned down by Bertha, who died in the fire, and that Rochester, who was blinded in the incident, lives nearby. He is overjoyed when she locates him, and relates his side of the mystical connection Jane had. He and Jane marry and enjoy life together, and he regains his sight in one eye. Diana and Mary both marry, while St. John continues his unmarried proselytizing in India.

经过千辛万苦，“怪物”未被清除，驱逐舰反被“怪物”重撞，生物学家和他的仆人以及为清除“怪物”被特意请到驱逐舰上来的一名捕鲸手，都成了“怪物”的俘虏!，结果发现“怪物”是一艘尚不为世人所知的潜水艇，名“鹦鹉螺”号。

《神秘岛》

故事是描述在美国南北战争的时候，有五个被围困在南军城中的北方人趁着偶然的机会用气球逃脱了。他们中途被风暴吹落在太平洋中的一个荒岛上，但是他们并没有灰心失望，他们团结互助，以集体的智慧和劳动，克服了重重困难，建立起幸福的生活。他们从赤手空拳一直到制造出陶器、玻璃、风磨、电报机……他们挽救了在附近另一孤岛上独居了十二年而失去理智的罪犯（即《格兰特船长的儿女》中被流放的罪犯--艾尔通），使他恢复了人性，成为他们忠实的伙伴。这些荒岛上的遇难者虽然什么也不缺，但是他们并没有放弃返回祖国的努力。一天，他们终于登上了在格兰特船长的儿子罗伯特指挥的邓肯号，重新回到了祖国的环抱。这几个遇难者在荒岛上度过的岁月了，不断发现了不可思议的奇迹。每当他们在危急的时候，似乎总有一个神秘的人在援助他们。原来这人就是《海底两万里》一书中的主人公、潜水船诺第留斯号的发明者、反抗压迫的战士——尼摩船长。

《欧也妮·葛朗台》

悭吝精明的百万富翁，有一位天真美丽的独生女儿，她受上了一个破产落魄的亲戚，为了资助他“闯天下”，不惜倾囊赠予全部私蓄，从而激怒爱财如命的父亲，父女间发生激烈的冲突，吓得胆小而贤淑的慈母从此一病不起；可是在期待中丧失父亲、损耗青春的痴情姑娘，最终等到的却是发财归来的负心汉.巴尔扎克为整个故事情节提供了一个真实的行动背景，并在这一背景中塑造了一个个有血有肉的人物形象，这些人物形象不仅是典型化了的个人，而更是个性化了的典型。这种套路的故事，不但没有使巴尔扎克的作品落入俗套，反而更展现出了大师的风格与魅力，尽显整部作品的光彩。

《刀锋》出版于一九四四年，是他一九四○年来美国后的第一部小说。现在，我们可以看出，主人公拉里这个人是一次大战的产物，而他反映的时代——两次大战之间的时代——则是欧洲中心主义的黄昏时代。在这个时期，世界文化中心虽则仍在欧洲，而欧洲的文化中心，在毛姆看来，无疑在法国，但它已经不能给来此寻求人生真谤的人以满意的回答了。拉里在巴黎博览群书，学会了几种语言，但是，巴黎和法国只成为他的中途岛；他最后带加去的，既不是恩夏姆神甫要把他当迷途羔羊圈回去的天主教，也不是他想从波兰矿工考斯第口中探听的神秘主义，而是印度的吠陀经哲学等。

<我的大学>讲述的是高尔基16岁时前往喀山想进大学读书,但是那时的大学对穷苦人家的孩子是不可能实现的梦想.他的大学实际上就是社会,在里边他接触了各种人,也受到了各种教育和启迪,它给了他一个更广阔的世界.
