奥巴马推荐：《所罗门之歌》

普京推荐：《卡拉马佐夫兄弟》

This is one of the best allegorical novels to explain the fractured nature of 19th century Russia. Each character is representative of one of the ruling classes. There is the father Fyodor, the landowner who is negligent about his land, but greedy in using its produce for himself. There's Dmitri, who has been passed around from house to house, and has grown up an entitled but debt-ridden soul. There's the skeptic Ivan, who wishes to live more than people. Third is gentle Alyosha, the mystic and religious peacemaker, and the illegitimate Smerdyakov. Through out are themes of love, law, and duty, which makes this one of the best Dostoyesky books to read besides Crime and Punishment. 6park.com
这是最好的寓言小说之一，阐述了19世纪俄国分崩离析的本质。每个角色都是统治阶级的代表之一。父亲费多尔是个疏于耕种的地主，却贪婪地一心要把作物占为己用。德米特里，挨家挨户游荡，长大成人虽有权利在握，却心债累累。满腹狐疑的伊凡，整日想着要比起别人活得更长。老三阿廖沙性格温和，信仰宗教，是个和事佬；还有私生子麦尔佳科夫。贯穿全书的主题是情爱、法律和责任，这让其成为陀思妥耶夫斯基《罪与罚》之外最值得一读的书籍。



如果你想重温经典——

《呼啸山庄》

Wuthering Heights is "powered by more psychological energy than any book ever written".

《远大前程》

Great Expectations might be the quintessential British novel. To re-read Dickens' classic as an adult is to discover its wit and brio, its influence, and its truth. It has all the elements of classic Dickens – endearing, flawed characters; a plot that skewers the politics of the time; subplots that skewer morality and culture; a love story; and a wonderful storyline. 6park.com
《远大前程》或许是最地道的英国小说。成年读者重温狄更斯经典，去发现其智慧与精彩、影响与真理。《远大前程》有狄更斯经典的所有元素，讨人欢喜却不甚完美的角色、主要故事情节能牵住时局、副线情节串起道德与文化，是一部情节精彩的爱情故事作品。

《米德尔马契》

A novel of great characters, it's an even greater novel of ideas and ideals. Middlemarch is the greatest social and psychological novel ever written in English. 6park.com
这部小说人物角色卓越，更精妙之处在于其想法与理念。《米德尔马契》是迄今最伟大的英文社会心理学小说。
