No. 1What Is Not Yours Is Not Yours（Helen Oyeyemi）

《不是你的就不是你的》海伦·欧叶密著

Keys are a recurring theme in Helen Oyeyemi's highly imaginative short story collection What Is Not Yours Is Not Yours — keys both metaphorical and literal that unlock magical diaries and clues and hearts. Every story in What Is Not Yours Is Not Yours feels like its own enchanting, intoxicating world; you'll certainly get lost in them.

在海伦·欧叶密的短篇科幻故事集《不是你的就不是你的》中，钥匙是反复出现的主题，钥匙既是比喻意也是字面意思，开启了魔幻日记、线索和心灵。故事集中的每一篇故事仿佛是一个迷幻而且让人陶醉的世界，你肯定会迷失其中。

No.2 Tender is the Night

《夜色温柔》(菲茨杰拉德著)

本书是一部描写关于爱情如何幻灭的复杂而有趣的书，描写了对于富有梦幻色彩的理想追求直至破灭过程的故事。这部以梦幻破灭、人生颓败为主题的爱情小说，是美国“迷惘的一代”作家菲茨杰拉德一部带有自我体验的文学作品，情节曲折，寓意深刻，隐含忽明忽暗的抒情幽伤，是“一战”后美国“中产阶级”精神生活的真实写照。

本书为英文原版，让读者在感受原著风貌的同时，提升英语阅读水平。

NO.3 Animal Farm （George Orwell）

《动物庄园》乔治奥威尔

"All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others."

所有动物生来平等,但有些动物比其他动物更平等。

A farm is taken over by its overworked, mistreated animals. With flaming idealism and stirring slogans, they set out to create a paradise of progress, justice, and equality. Thus the stage is set for one of the most telling satiric fables ever penned--a razor-edged fairy tale for grown-ups that records the evolution from revolution against tyranny to a totalitarianism just as terrible.

When Animal Farm was first published, Stalinist Russia was seen as its target. Today it is devastatingly clear that wherever and whenever freedom is attacked, under whatever banner, the cutting clarity and savage comedy of George Orwell's masterpiece have a meaning and message still ferociously fresh.

《动物庄园》是一部政治寓言体小说，故事描述了一场“动物主义”革命的酝酿、兴起和最终蜕变。这是一部简单又好看的小说，非常适合初学者们哈！

No.4 Mrs Dalloway （Virginia Woolf）

《达洛卫夫人》弗吉尼亚·伍尔芙

If the most precious gift of the novel as a medium is the power it has to break into the prison of human consciousness, to expose the gossamer （蛛丝似的，纤细缥缈的） weave of thought and feeling and memory that makes up our innermost lives, then Woolf's fourth novel stands alone at the pinnacle（顶峰）. Virginia Woolf made modernism live and breathe.

如果说这部小说作为媒介最天才之处在于其破除人类意识的囹圄、暴露人们那些构成内在世界的细若蛛丝的思绪、情感和记忆，那么伍尔芙的第四段小说就是孤立巅峰之作。弗吉尼亚让现代主义焕发生命、鲜活起来。

NO.5 To the Lighthouse （Virginia Woolf）

《到灯塔去》弗吉尼亚·伍尔芙

Another great book written by Virginia Woolf. Subtle, beautiful, staggeringly intelligent and flat-out original. A masterpiece of modernism, its stream-of-consciousness, richness of language and perceptions has continued to reveal itself.

这是另一部弗吉尼亚·伍尔芙的作品。细腻美妙、智慧惊人，极其新颖独到。现代派的大师之作，运用意识流写法，其语言丰富、观察敏锐，不言自明。
