The greatest novel 100 Don Quixote
[Spain] Cervantes, published in 1605.
Translated by Jiang Yang, People's Literature Publishing House
Don Quixote is a milestone in European novels, ranking first in many charts and having an unshakable position. I think Don Quixote can be compared with Water Margin. Jin Shengtan once commented on "Water Margin": "Water Margin" is rigorous, and reading it is a hundred books. ? There is not a single article in the world that is correct in Water Margin? . Both content and status are comparable to Don Quixote.
2. War and peace
[Russia] Tolstoy, published by 1869.
Translated by Liu Liaoyi, People's Literature Publishing House
"War and Peace" describes the whole process of the Russian-French war in 18 12, with the character activities of the four big noble families as the background. It is an epic masterpiece with unparalleled scale and ideological content, and it is a monument that stands at the peak in the history of Russian literature.
3. ulysses detector
[Ireland] Joyce, published in 1922.
Translated by Jin Di, People's Literature Publishing House
A writer should have three works: masterpieces, representative works and handed down works (or dazzling works). Joyce has both, and Ulysses is his masterpiece. This book can be summed up in one sentence. B: the watershed of modernism.
4. reminisce about the past
Proust, published in 19 13-27.
Translated by Li Hengji, Yilin Press.
There is nothing to say about this book, the immortal work of a great French literary elder brother in the 20th century. Those who have confidence in their reading ability can accept the challenge.
Actually, I think Salina should be my brother, which makes him politically incorrect.
5. brothers karamazov Hotel
[Russia] Dostoevsky, published in 1880.
Translated by Geng Jizhi, People's Literature Publishing House
Master tuo's masterpiece. Readers all over the world are crazy about Toye round after round. In Japan in 1960s, if you saw a young man frowning and thinking in a tram with a book in his hand, he was probably reading brothers karamazov. This book has also appeared repeatedly in many famous works in later generations.
6. Moby dick
Melville, published in 185 1.
Translated by Shi Cheng, People's Literature Publishing House.
It is also a landmark work, which directly brings American literature into the modern era. Basically, any American literature textbook can't bypass Moby Dick (it was in my postgraduate exam). Moby Dick was ridiculed by critics when it was first published, but it is always time that determines the literary value.
It is not difficult to read the original English, and you can better understand the power of the original language.
7. Madame Bovary
Flaubert, published in 1857.
Li Jianwu, People's Literature Publishing House.
Flaubert's fame in China doesn't seem to be at the level of a king. But in the pedigree of western literature, Flaubert is definitely a master figure. His superb novel skills have inspired generations of writers.
8. Middlemarch
George? Eliot, published in 177 1-72.
Xiang translation, published by People's Literature Publishing House.
Finally, there is a woman writer. The authors of the list study Victorian novels. Give this position to George? Eliot is also very natural. Middlemarch has 150 characters, each with its own characteristics, which can be said to have reached the peak of traditional novels.
9. Magic Mountain
Thomas? People, published in 1924.
Translated by Yang, Shanghai Literature and Art Publishing House
Thomas? Mann's masterpiece. Classical works of modern literature. It also appeared in the literary works of later generations round after round. Naoko's sanatorium in Norwegian forest is a copy of Magic Mountain.
10, Tale of Genji
[Japan] Murasaki Department, 1 1 century book.
Translated by Feng Zikai, People's Literature Publishing House
The world's first novel (not until the Golden Donkey is finished). Its position in Japan is the same as that of A Dream of Red Mansions in China, and a large number of scholars point to it for dinner. Of course, literature is of great value. It can be said that Japanese classical aesthetics are all in it, and you won't regret it after reading it.
1 1 Emma
Jane? Author Austin, published in 18 16.
Li Wenjun and Cai Hui, People's Literature Publishing House.
I have little affection for writers like Austin and Zhang Ailing. In contrast, Woolf and Xiao Hong are my true love. You say that people's writing is good, of course; Is it artistic or not? Of course strong; Is it important in the history of literature? Of course it's important, and it's the most important, especially among women writers. However, even as a female writer, it is really meaningless to obsess about finding marriage, enjoying the boudoir and taking care of her rich husband forever. Maybe my straight thinking is too serious, maybe girls like to watch this. Now a lot of online literature is still walking on this road wave after wave, eating leftovers chewed by other writers, which shows that there is still a market. )
I remember reading the novel "Love in a Fallen City" before. I looked straight and patted my thigh: The author is really a master. When I was watching Biography of Hulan River, I was completely stunned by the open and desolate pattern, and I didn't have the mind to think about who the author was.
Emma can be said to be the most mature work in Austen's literature and art, and also a must-read work in English literature. Finally, I want to tell you an embarrassing thing: when I was in middle school, I knew nothing. When I saw Emma in the bookstore, I thought Austin was from the northeast. .
12, bleak house
Dickens, published in 1852-53.
Is this picture for everyone to see the humanistic society? Grid book? What it feels like. What is its official name? Foreign literature classics series? It's hard to get one now.
Di has always been my favorite writer. When introducing old people in China, they are always ready, right? Exposed the darkness of capitalist society? Well, people who haven't seen Lauder think they are another victim. In fact, Di Lao's books are quite humorous, and all kinds of satirical and humorous metaphors, even heavy content, can make people gush out.
I think, maybe it's because Di has always been born from a bitter background and worked hard from the bottom, so she can be so relaxed. Bleak House is a novel about judicial corruption and critical system. Today, when we are in the primary stage of socialism and vigorously advocate the rule of law, it is quite interesting to read this novel. (right! We just want to criticize the judicial corruption of capitalism! )
In addition, I think it may be a bit too high to put this book in this position (the highest ranked book of Di Lao). Maybe it's the preference of the leaderboard editor.
13, Anna? Karenin na
[Russia] Tolstoy, published by 1877.
Translated by Zhou Yang and Xie, People's Literature Publishing House
There is nothing to say. I haven't even met Anna. How dare you call yourself a literary lover?
14, Huckleberry? Adventures of Finn
Mark? Author Twain, published in 1884.
Translated by Zhang Yousong, Yilin Publishing House
Does everyone know Mark? Twain is a master of humor, but his humor is different from De Lao's. Mark? Twain always creates a dilemma (some of his works can be adapted into Beauty), and infinite exaggeration makes the dilemma itself ironic, which is very prominent in his short works.
Quote a rotten evaluation. Hemingway said this:? The whole modern American literature comes from Mark? Twain's book Harburg? Adventures of Finn, this is our best book, and no book can match it since then. ?
May I suggest seeing Tom? The adventures of sawyer. Read the book again.
15, abandoned son Tom? Jones history
Fielding, published in 1749.
Translated by Zhang Guruo, Shanghai Translation Publishing House
I don't know why writers like Fielding, Conrad and Kipling are particularly unpopular in socialist countries. Kipling and Conrad were often detained. Colonialist Fielding Many people don't even know who it is.
who is it? Master, master, master. Fielding is the man who makes rules for English novels. Sadly, these rules were soon broken by Stimson's Biography of Shang Zhou. . )
Tom the outcast? The History of Jones is an epic. The vast background is staggering, and it is a textbook-like case of realistic classic novels.
16, great expectations
Dickens, published in 1860-6 1.
Zhu Wanye Zun translated, People's Literature Publishing House.
Di Lao's very classic works. The narrative mode of autobiography is also the classic mode used by Lauder. This book is the later work of Di Lao, compared with David? Copperfield is much more mature.
The original title is Great Expectations, which means a heritage. Great expectations? There is irony in this. Another translation of this book is Tears of the Lone Star. Attention is not the tears of a lone star, but another translation of Les Miserables. The translator is also drunk. .
17, Absalom! Absalom!
Faulkner, published in 1936.
Translated by Li Wenjun, Shanghai Translation Publishing House
This was supposed to be Faulkner's stunt. ? Absalom? This is a personal name, Absalom, son of King David of ancient Israel. The allusion comes from the Bible? Old Testament.
When I was in the library in middle school, I thought the name was funny, so I took it down and read it. I didn't get it. . Later, Faulkner left a shadow in my heart. .
18, envoy
Henry? James, published in 1903.
Xiang translation, published by People's Literature Publishing House.
Henry. James (I checked the information today and found that it looks like James? Spader, a master of American literature, is not well-known in China. What kind of person does this person belong to? Almighty writer? You can write anything. The novel is excellent. Graham. Green said: His position in the history of novels is as stable as Shakespeare's position in the history of poetry. ?
I have read some of his original works. According to the writing, do you want me to assign it to him? A literary aristocrat? . I don't comment on the book The Envoy, because I haven't read it.
19, a hundred years of loneliness
[Colombia] Marquez, published in 1967.
Translated by Ye Fan of Nanhai Publishing Company.
Is everyone too familiar with it? Many years later, facing the death squads in the 1980s, there was no one in China's literary world who was not inspired by this book. Legend has it that when Marquez came to China, he was furious when he found that the bookstore sold all his own books, because he never authorized the publishing house in China. As a result, after China joined the copyright convention, it was not authorized for a long time, and people held grudges.
What I want to talk about more is literature? Lonely? . According to the gossip agency, Marquez resigned in order to write One Hundred Years of Solitude, and told his wife to give me a year, otherwise I would never engage in literature again. A year later, One Hundred Years of Solitude shocked the whole world.
In fact, there are such writers in China, so it's not convenient to say, you know.
What does this mean? You can't have a wife if you want to engage in literature. Without a wife, you don't have to guarantee this and that. How clever I am!
20. The Great Gatsby
Fitzgerald, published in 1925.
Translated by Yao Naiqiang, People's Literature Publishing House
Many people know Fitzgerald through Haruki Murakami. Sorry, me too.
Let me ask you a question: What's the use of literature? What is the use of philosophy?
In my opinion, there are some unclear, unclear, endless and unclear chaotic emotions in people's hearts. Literature visualizes this emotion, while philosophy directly tells you what this emotion is.
This is Gatsby. The pursuit of dreams eventually failed, so we moved on, went upstream and went back to the past. So, we struggle hard, just like sailing against the current, constantly being washed back by the waves and going back to the past. A small work, like an atomic bomb, will be a deep emotional impact.
2 1, go to the lighthouse
Woolf, published in 1927.
Collected Works of Woolf, People's Literature Publishing House.
Ah, here comes my true love. ? Talented woman? This word is basically for Virginia? Tailored by Woolf. Her father is a literary leader, and I didn't go to school seriously, but since childhood, various writers have come and gone, and with talent, I soon dominated a generation. Many of her works are of great pioneering significance, so I won't expand them here.
As the saying goes, if you don't live long, you will be hurt. Higuchi Ichiyo was twenty-four when he died, and his creative peak was only fourteen months. Shi Pingmei is less than 27 years old, and his creative career is only six years. Woolf is long. In contrast, there are not a few beautiful women who die well. It's not the bad luck of beauty, but the jealousy of genius.
Translate the name by the way. What is popular translation? Woolf? It's really good. The question is, is his original name Virginia? Stephen, her husband's name is Leonard? Woolf is the surname of the married husband. Her husband translated it into Leonard? Woolf, isn't it strange?
Of course, this is just a translation. Translate Virginia Woolf into. Virgin wolf? What about yours? .
22, crime and punishment
[Russia] Dostoevsky, published in 1866.
Zhu Yi, People's Literature Publishing House
Master tuo's masterpiece, there is nothing to say. Students who don't understand can try to look at Bakhtin's polyphonic novel theory. If you don't know Bakhtin, you can refer to Toye's book. Usually, there are many people who can't understand both.
23. Noise and disturbance
Faulkner, published in 1929.
Translated by Li Wenjun, Shanghai Translation Publishing House
Faulkner's masterpiece. I think it is a difficult book to read, and the difficulty lies in cultural differences. For example, let an American understand "life and death fatigue"? Land reform? Reincarnation? It's not easy.
This book has a great influence on China. ? Multi-perspective narrative? Huh? Family system? Huh? Idiot commentator? What? You can find it in Loy, Yan Lianke and Mo Yan. Let's just say that if you want to study novels, you should read this book. That's awesome.
24.vanity fair
Thackeray, published in 1847-48.
Yang Bi, People's Literature Publishing House
A masterpiece of critical realism. Today, it seems that, how to put it, the rules are in the rules. If I stood in line, I wouldn't be so tall. (Glancing at the general list, the editor's ranking of Victor and Les Miserables so far must be an old otaku. )
? John's vanity fair? Bunyan's journey to heaven. This is a book that keeps pace with the Bible.
25. Invisible man
Ralph? Alison, published in 1952.
Translated by Ren Shaozeng, Shanghai Literature and Art Publishing House
The first black writer on the list. Reading black literature (without any discrimination) is an epoch-making classic and cannot be bypassed.
26. Wake Night in finnigan
[Ireland] Joyce, published in 1939.
Translated by Dai Congrong, Shanghai People's Publishing House
Joyce's stunt. I gave this kind of books a general name. Treasure of the town house? . As long as you put it on the bookshelf, people will definitely give you a meaningful look when they see it. What did you write? Make it up. Few people in China can understand it anyway.
Whether you understand it or not, I don't understand it anyway.
27. People without personality
[Austria] Robert? Muzil, published in 1936.
Translated by Zhang Rongchang, Shanghai Translation Publishing House
Muzil is a heavyweight writer who has been seriously neglected in the mainstream literary history of China. To say that literary giants all give thumbs up, Muzil has to be one. He led the trend of novels in the 20th century, from plot to inner spiritual content.
I am ashamed that I have never met anyone without personality. I heard his name and didn't dare to challenge. .
28. Gravity Rainbow
Thomas? Author Pynchon, published in 1973.
Translated by Huang, Yilin Publishing House
This is a very new novel. Pynchon is still alive. He is a popular candidate for the Nobel Prize every year. When literature came to him, it was not very good. The Rainbow of Gravity has no plot at all. I still prefer it as a kind of. An encyclopedia? The type of works is difficult to fall into the narrow literary classification.
People who like it will like it very much, and people who don't like it will never like it. In contrast, I prefer vonnegut's accent.
29. Portrait of a lady
Henry? James, published in 188 1.
Xiang translation, published by People's Literature Publishing House.
SeeNo. 18. Is this book Henry? James's masterpiece, the narrative inside is really unique.
30. Women in love
D.H. Lawrence, published in 1920.
Selected Works of Lawrence, People's Literature Publishing House.
D.h. Lawrence's masterpiece. Now I understand the editor's intention. He must be a devout old otaku. This book is on the list, probably because it is not very good in Lawrence's works. Yellow? A copy of.
I love Lawrence so much. Personal thinking is to interpret Lawrence from class consciousness and ecologism. Lawrence is a very lovely person, so-called? Yellow? , is to attach importance to the original value of people, is the respect for survival. Lawrence is naturally opposed to the confrontation between people, people and society, and people and nature. Don't fight, just liberate. In a sense, Lawrence is also a survivalist.
3 1, red and black
Stendhal, published in 1880.
Translated by Zhang Guanyao, People's Literature Publishing House
I strongly recommend this book. Some people think this book is out of date, but I think this book is really suitable for China people now. Many modernist literary works, we have not accumulated that kind of culture, and we can't understand it. )
In short, it is not enough to talk about life if no one sighs and feels sad at night.
32. Biography of Xiang Di
Lawrence? Stern, published in 1760-67.
Translated by Pulong, Shanghai Translation Publishing House
Translated the Biography of Shang Dynasty. First of all, this is a wonderful book, and I am not qualified to evaluate it with my skill. Secondly, shortly before the publication of this book, Fielding had just made rules for English novels. Stern is this book? Fuck your rules? . Third, this book has no timeline and narrative order at all. It can be regarded as the source and pioneer of modernism.
Stern also has a book, Sad Travel, which is also very good. I highly recommend it.
33. Dead souls
Nikolai Gogol, published in 1842.
Translated by Man Tao, People's Literature Publishing House
Nikolai Gogol's masterpiece. The miser stole Higgins from this book. Nikolai Gogol's description and criticism are necessary.
China people are very familiar with Nikolai Gogol. Diary of a Madman, Coat and comedy An Imperial Envoy were introduced to China very early, which inspired generations of progressive young people. Now he is indispensable in middle school textbooks, so I don't want to introduce him more.
Tess of the d 'Urbervilles
Thomas? Hardy, published in 189 1.
Translated by Zhang Guruo, People's Literature Publishing House
Thomas? Hardy's masterpiece. This book is actually quite bitter. I can't understand it after reading it several times. The characters in the novel are complex and full of emotions. Compared with this, the current retarded vulgar romance novels are nothing at all.
Hardy is also an excellent poet and a great poet in the history of poetry.
35. Budenblock family
Thomas? Manzhu, published in 190 1.
Translated by Fu Weici, Yilin Publishing House
Thomas? Man's masterpiece. I'm not very interested in this kind of family history works, but I can't deny that this complicated and huge work is a wonderful work. The point is Thomas. Man was only 26 years old when he wrote this book!
