Dombey and Son by Charles Dickens, published in monthly parts from 1 October 1846 to 1 April 1848 and in one volume in 1848. Its full title is Dealings with the Firm of Dombey and Son: Wholesale, Retail and for Exportation. The story concerns of a powerful man whose callous neglect of his family triggers his professional and personal downfall, showcases the author's gift for vivid characterization and unfailingly realistic description. As Jonathan Lethem contends in his Introduction, Dickens's "genius … is at one with the genius of the form of the novel itself: Dickens willed into existence the most capacious and elastic and versatile kind of novel that could be, one big enough for his vast sentimental yearnings and for every impulse and fear and hesitation in him that countervailed those yearnings too. Never parsimonious and frequently contradictory, he always gives us everything he can, everything he's planned to give, and then more."

演说的艺术（英文版）
在这个世界上，有很多人意识到自己因这样或那样的缺陷和不足导致无法成功，比如有人承认自己智商不高，有人认为自己情商不够，有人确定自己能力不行，还有人觉得自己运气不佳……但是却很少有人承认自己不会说话，更难以相信自己不成功或实现不了梦想的原因之一就是——“不会在公众面前说话”……有美国著名评论家在描述《演说的艺术》一书作者时，这样描述过一番令人震撼的场景：虽然美国大城市有四成多人处于失业状态，需要靠救济生活，可当晚仍有两千多人被一份广告所吸引，涌向宾夕法尼亚饭店。原来，他们是来听一场戴尔·卡耐基作家所做的最现代、最实用的“为人处世技巧”的讲座。这一讲座每个季度都在纽约举办，而且是场场爆满，人数多得数不过来，其中很多人都是商界和技术领域的专业人士。原因在哪里呢？读读这本读起来一点都不难的书吧。答案就在眼前。
The Penelopiad
Margaret Atwood returns with a shrewd, funny, and insightful retelling of the myth of Odysseus from the point of view of Penelope. Describing her own remarkable vision, the author writes in the foreword, I've chosen to give the telling of the story to Penelope and to the twelve hanged maids. The maids form a chanting and singing Chorus, which focuses on two questions that must pose themselves after any close reading of the Odyssey: What led to the hanging of the maids, and what was Penelope really up to? The story as told in the Odyssey doesn't hold water: there are too many inconsistencies. I've always been haunted by the hanged maids and, in The Penelopiad, so is Penelope herself." One of the high points of literary fiction in 2005, this critically acclaimed story found a vast audience and is finally available in paperback.
