《问题的核心》所叙述的故事颇为简单：二次世界大战期间一个英属某西非殖民地的警察署副专员斯考比，原是个正直虔诚的天主教徒，为了送精神苦闷的妻子去南非度假，不得不向一名叙利亚奸商借债，从而受到他的威胁利诱；后来他又与一个因所乘船只被敌方潜水艇击沉而流落该地的年轻寡妇海伦发生关系，违反了教义，精神苦闷，最后为了解脱而自杀身亡。 作者反复强调主人公的沉沦是由于“怜悯和责任”感，以突出这部小说的中心思想，但是值得注意的是格林在全书结尾借兰克神甫之口道出了自己对宗教的看法：教会对人生来的堕落也无能为力加以挽救，“教会什么都知道，就是不知道一个人心里想的是什么”。

小说讲述了一段跨越半个多世纪的爱情故事：男女主人公在二十岁的时候没能结婚，因为他们太年轻了；经过各种人生曲折之后，到了八十岁，他们还是没能结婚，因为他们太老了。在五十年的时间跨度中，作者展示了所有爱情的可能性，所有的爱情方式。该小说不仅表达了“经历爱情的折磨是一种尊严”，更重要的是展现了哥伦比亚的历史。战争和霍乱威胁着拉美人民的生命，而人为的破坏加剧了人与自然的对立，人的社会孤独感使人与人之间缺乏理解信任，心理距离加大。

"The Ghost Kings" was H. Rider Haggard's 32nd novel, out of an eventual 58. Written during the years 1906 and '07, it first saw book publication in September 1908. This novel was penned immediately before Haggard set to work on another African adventure tale, "The Yellow God," but of the two, "The Ghost Kings" is the superior creation. It is more exciting and more detailed, with a greater emphasis on fantasy elements and the supernatural. Indeed, with the exception of its South African setting and the inclusion of such real-life characters as the Zulu chief Dingaan (brother of Chaka) and councilor Mopo (both of whom also featured prominently in Haggard's 1892 masterpiece "Nada the Lily"), the tale could almost be a novel of hard fantasy.

1982年，瑞典文学院认为，马尔克斯在《百年孤独》中“创造了一个独特的天地，即围绕着马孔多的世界”，“汇聚了不可思议的奇迹和最纯粹的现实生活”，因而授予他诺贝尔文学奖。作品描写了布恩迪亚家族七代人的传奇故事，以及加勒比海沿岸小镇马孔多的百年兴衰，反映了拉丁美洲一个世纪以来风云变幻的历史。作品融入神话传说、民间故事、宗教典故等神秘因素，巧妙地糅合了现实与虚幻，展现出一个瑰丽的想象世界，成为20世纪重要的经典文学巨著之一。内容简介：霍塞·阿卡迪奥·布恩迪亚是西班牙人的后裔，住在远离海滨的一个印第安人的村庄。成人后，他与乌苏拉结婚了。由于害怕像姨母与叔父那样生出长尾巴的孩子，乌苏拉每夜都穿上特制的紧身衣，拒绝与丈夫同房，二人因此遭到邻居阿吉拉尔的耻笑。霍塞杀死了阿吉拉尔。从此，死者的鬼魂经常出现在他眼前。鬼魂那痛苦而凄凉的眼神，使人日夜不得安宁，他们只好离开村子，外出寻找安身之所。

This Side of Paradise is the debut novel of F. Scott Fitzgerald. Published in 1920, and taking its title from a line of the Rupert Brooke poem Tiare Tahiti, the book examines the lives and morality of post-World War I youth. Its protagonist, Amory Blaine, is an attractive Princeton University student who dabbles in literature and has the book's theme of love warped by greed and status-seeking.

Edna Ferber was an early 20th century American author and playwright. Ferber worked for several newspapers. She covered the 1920 Republican and Democratic national conventions for the United Press Association. Her novels often featured a strong female protagonist and often had a secondary character who faced some form of discrimination. In 1925 her novel So Big won a Pulitzer Prize. Dawn O'Hara, the Girl Who Laughed was Edna Ferber's first novel. Dawn was a newspaperwoman working in New York. When she gets ill she must return to Michigan. Dawn had spent years caring for her mentally ill husband. She had lived in boarding houses and all of this had exhausted her. She was only 28, but often felt like an old woman. The care of her sister Norah and her family along with the attentions of the handsome German doctor, Ernst Von Gerhard, slowly bring Dawn back to life.

 Along this particular stretch of line no express had ever passed. All the trains—the few that there were—stopped at all the stations. Denis knew the names of those stations by heart. Bole, Tritton, Spavin Delawarr, Knipswich for Timpany, West Bowlby, and, finally, Camlet-on-the-Water. Camlet was where he always got out, leaving the train to creep indolently onward, goodness only knew whither, into the green heart of England.
