3. 英國的短篇小說，有哪些值得推薦

個人推薦下英國著名小說家狄更斯的《信號員》吧，也是英國十大名著之一吧。這個小說讀完特別讓人深思，主要是講小鎮一個信號員總能預測災難的東西成為現實。他成了唯一一個災難的預測者。知道最後一次預測他也成為犧牲者。也表現了作者對底層人民悲慘命運不能改變的悲憫。看完之後我覺得引用波波的話吧：人生中%99的時間可能都是不幸的但是我們要善於發現其中%1的萬幸，好好珍惜現在的每一天吧。

4. 外國短篇小說推薦（上）

1薩基《敞開著的窗戶》

薩基是英國短篇小說家，其作品以構思奇妙、出人意料著稱。《敞開著的窗戶》篇幅極短，卻巧妙地渲染了一種詭異的氣氛，在結尾猛地揭開謎團，令人哭笑不得又感到合情合理，正是歐亨利式的典型結局。

2 雅各布斯《猴爪》

我一向愛讀帶有一些恐怖色彩的驚險小說，《猴爪》正是此類小說中的傑作。對著猴爪許願，你的願望一定可以實現——但實現的方式一定讓你痛不欲生。這不是上帝的好意，而是魔鬼的饋贈。《猴爪》劇情緊湊，層層推進，不愧是恐怖詭異小說中的典範。

3 毛姆《午餐》

毛姆，英國小說家，我們大多熟知他的長篇小說《月亮與六便士》。他擅長用極其犀利的筆觸揭露人性，剖析人心。《午餐》是一篇很有趣味的短篇小說，我們大概也能從生活中見到與文中女人類似的人。結尾一句「今天她體重三百磅」令人忍不住發笑也忍不住叫絕。

4 都德《柏林之圍》

都德，法國作家，他的《最後一課》入選了中學課文，非常經典，就不在這里推薦了。《柏林之圍》是他的另一名篇，小說塑造了一個高尚、愛國的老戰士形象，他的結局令人尤感悲痛惋惜。

5 茨威格《看不見的珍藏》

我非常喜歡茨威格的短篇小說。他以心理描寫著稱，長段的心理描寫不僅不會使人厭煩，反而極其細膩，極具感染力。這篇《看不見的珍藏》構思奇妙，細節描寫尤其打動人心，「收藏家是幸福的人」，誠然不假。

6 愛倫坡 《泄密的心》

愛倫坡是美國哥特式小說和偵探小說的創始人。他的作品在描寫超自然的恐怖、神秘和死亡上尤其出色。如果你也對這類題材感興趣的話，那麼一定不能錯過他的短篇、《泄密的心》毫無疑問是一篇壓抑驚悚又瘋狂的小說，極具愛倫坡式特色。

Appointment With Love －－By Sulamith Ish-Kishor

Six minutes to six, said the great round clock over the information booth in Grand Central Station. The tall young Army lieutenant who had just come from the direction of the tracks lifted his sunburned face, and his eyes narrowed to note the exact time. His heart was pounding with a beat that shocked him because he could not control it. In six minutes, he would see the woman who had filled such a special place in his life for the past 13 months, the woman he had never seen, yet whose written words had been with him and sustained him unfailingly.
He placed himself as close as he could to the information booth, just beyond the ring of people besieging the clerks...
Lieutenant Blandford remembered one night in particular, the worst of the fighting, when his plane had been caught in the midst of a pack of Zeros. He had seen the grinning face of one of the enemy pilots.
In one of his letters, he had confessed to her that he often felt fear, and only a few days before this battle, he had received her answer: "Of course you fear...all brave men do. Didn't King David know fear? That's why he wrote the 23rd Psalm. Next time you doubt yourself, I want you to hear my voice reciting to you: 'Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I shall fear no evil, for Thou art with me.'" And he had remembered; he had heard her imagined voice, and it had renewed his strength and skill.
Now he was going to hear her real voice. Four minutes to six. His face grew sharp.
Under the immense, starred roof, people were walking fast, like threads of color being woven into a gray web. A girl passed close to him, and Lieutenant Blandford started. She was wearing a red flower in her suit lapel, but it was a crimson sweet pea, not the little red rose they had agreed upon. Besides, this girl was too young, about 18, whereas Hollis Meynell had frankly told him she was 30. "Well, what of it?" he had answered. "I'm 32." He was 29.
His mind went back to that book - the book the Lord Himself must have put into his hands out of the hundreds of Army library books sent to the Florida training camp. Of Human Bondage, it was; and throughout the book were notes in a woman's writing. He had always hated that writing-in habit, but these remarks were different. He had never believed that a woman could see into a man's heart so tenderly, so understandingly. Her name was on the bookplate: Hollis Meynell. He had got hold of a New York City telephone book and found her address. He had written, she had answered. Next day he had been shipped out, but they had gone on writing.
For 13 months, she had faithfully replied, and more than replied. When his letters did not arrive she wrote anyway, and now he believed he loved her, and she loved him.
But she had refused all his pleas to send him her photograph. That seemed rather bad, of course. But she had explained: "If your feeling for me has any reality, any honest basis, what I look like won't matter. Suppose I'm beautiful. I'd always be haunted by the feeling that you had been taking a chance on just that, and that kind of love would disgust me. Suppose I'm plain (and you must admit that this is more likely). Then I'd always fear that you were going on writing to me only because you were lonely and had no one else. No, don't ask for my picture. When you come to New York, you shall see me and then you shall make your decision. Remember, both of us are free to stop or to go on after that - whichever we choose..."
One minute to six - Lieutenant Blandford's heart leaped higher than his plane had ever done.
A young woman was coming toward him. Her figure was long and slim; her blond hair lay back in curls from her delicate ears. Her eyes were blue as flowers, her lips and chin had a gentle firmness. In her pale green suit, she was like springtime come alive.
He started toward her, entirely forgetting to notice that she was wearing no rose, and as he moved, a small, provocative smile curved her lips.
"Going my way, soldier?" she murmured.
Uncontrollably, he made one step closer to her. Then he saw Hollis Meynell.
She was standing almost directly behind the girl, a woman well past 40, her graying hair tucked under a worn hat. She was more than plump; her thick-ankled feet were thrust into low-heeled shoes. But she wore a red rose in the rumpled lapel of her brown coat.
The girl in the green suit was walking quickly away.
Blandford felt as though he were being split in two, so keen was his desire to follow the girl, yet so deep was his longing for the woman whose spirit had truly companioned and upheld his own; and there she stood. Her pale, plump face was gentle and sensible; he could see that now. Her gray eyes had a warm, kindly twinkle.
Lieutenant Blandford did not hesitate. His fingers gripped the small worn, blue leather of Of Human Bondage, which was to identify him to her. This would not be love, but it would be something precious, something perhaps even rarer than love - a friendship for which he had been and must ever be grateful.
He squared his broad shoulders, saluted and held the book out toward the woman, although even while he spoke he felt shocked by the bitterness of his disappointment.
"I'm Lieutenant John Blandford, and you - you are Miss Meynell. I'm so glad you could meet me. May...may I take you to dinner?"
The woman's face broadened in a tolerant smile. "I don't know what this is all about, son," she answered. "That young lady in the green suit - the one who just went by - begged me to wear this rose on my coat. And she said that if you asked me to go out with you, I should tell you that she's waiting for you in that big restaurant across the street. She said it was some kind of a test. I've got two boys with Uncle Sam myself, so I didn't mind to oblige you."

6. 有什麼英語短篇小說推薦

1. 「A Good Man is Hard to Find,」 Flannery O』Connor

Few short stories have stuck with us as much as this one, which is probably O'Connor's most famous work — and with good reason. The Misfit is one of the most alarming serial killers we've ever met, all the more so for his politeness, and the story』s moral is so striking and terrifying that — whether you subscribe to the religious undertones or not — a reader is likely to finish and begin to reexamine their entire existence. Or at least we did, the first time we read it.
《好人難尋》這篇小說是奧康納最為著名的作品，很少有其他短篇小說能像這篇一樣給我們帶來震撼。無論你是否能明了宗教般的潛在含義，看完這篇小說讀者都會開始或是結束對存在的檢視。

2. 「The School,」 Donald Barthelme

This story is very short, but pretty much perfect in every way. Though Barthelme is known for his playful, post modern style, we admire him for his ability to shape a world so clearly from so few words, chosen expertly. Barthelme never over explains, never uses one syllable too many, but effortlessly leads the reader right where he wants her to be. It's funny, it's absurdist, it's sad, it's enormous even in its smallness. It may be this writer』s favorite story of all time. You should read it.
這篇小說很短，但是堪稱完美。巴塞爾姆的優秀就在於他能用精選的極少幾個文字就為我們敘述了一個世界。他很少過多地解釋，就把讀者帶到了他想要你去地方。

3. 「In The Penal Colony,」 Franz Kafka

Kafka called this one his「dirty story,」and thought it imperfect, but it's one of our favorites of his (though we also recommend 「The Hunger Artist」and「A Country Doctor」). It's so obviously a story about writing, in some ultimate way — a machine punishes its victims by writing on them over and over until their bodies give out — but its as if, while the body is the source of every problem in the tale, every weakness, it is also the only place where true knowledge can be translated.
卡夫卡稱自己的這篇小說是一個「很臟的故事」，認為並不完美，但是這個短篇確實我們的最愛之一。在小說中，我們可以體會到，身體是一切問題和弱點的根源，但身體也是唯一能轉化真知的地方。

4. 「Signs and Symbols,」Vladimir Nabokov

Another short one, we revere this story for its ability to turn every tiny detail into a portentous disaster, not to mention the fact that it's penned in Nabokov's effortlessly gorgeous, silvery prose. An old Jewish couple goes to visit their son in the mental hospital, only to be turned away because he has attempted to kill himself. And that's it, really. They go home and look though a photo album, eat some jam. The phonerings. But the whole thing is, perhaps, both a comment on the nature of insanity and the nature of the short story itself, with all its rules and strangeness and banality. And all its symbols, of course.
我們喜歡這篇小說的原因就在於，這個故事有能力把每個細微的細節瞬間變為一場災難，而Nabokov在寫這篇小說用的是輕松華麗水銀瀉地般的散文風格。

5. 「Gooseberries,」 Anton Chekhov

Chekhov's stories are indisputably among the greats, and this one, written rather late, is one of our favorites. Chekhov probes at both the frailty and the worth of humanity, not to mention the natureof life, both for the fortunate and the unfortunate. But like most of Chekhov's stories, there's no clear moral, there's no obvious takeaway. Some men sit around and discuss their thoughts, and we listen, mulling over the subtleties for ourselves.
契科夫的小說無疑是最偉大的作品之一，而這篇是我們的最愛。這篇小說像他的其他小說一樣，沒有清晰的道德標准，我們只是靜靜地看著幾個人圍坐著，討論他們的思想。

6. 「Sea Oak,」 George Saunders

「Sea Oak」 is Saunders's favorite of his own stories, we've heard, so because we find it so hard to choose among them, we've included it here on his own recommendation. Absurdist and satirical, and including at least one zombie shouting at her housemates to get laid, it's a weird one. But it's also concerned with placelessness, with family, with poverty, and like all of Saunders's stories, has a good, thumping heart under all that darkness and fun-poking.

這部小說是桑德斯最為喜愛的一步短篇，這也是我們聽說的。因為我們很難做出選擇，因此就把他自己的推介放在了這里。這部小說充滿了荒誕和諷刺，但是也關心家庭和貧窮等問題。像他的其他小說一樣，在黑暗和取笑中，也暗含著美好和快樂。

7. 「The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas,」 Ursula K. LeGuin

LeGuin's parabolic tale, which won the Hugo Award for best short story in 1974, is a weird, spacious story about a city that seems to be a utopia — except for its one flaw, the single child that must always be kept in darkness and wretched misery so that the others may all live happily. Most of the citizens eventually accept this, but some do not, and silently leave the city, vanishing into the world around. Strange but pointed, Le Guin is a master of her genre.
勒古這部寓言般的短篇小說獲得過1974年的「雨果獎」，是關於一個類似烏托邦的城市的荒誕又宏大的故事。

8. 「The Veldt,」 Ray Bradbury

This tale, from one of the greatest science fiction writers in history, is deliciously wicked. Though it was written in 1950, this kind of story — of children driven mad by want, of technology turning on its masters — will never get old. Until technology actually turns on us, that is. Then we probably won't want to hear about it.
布萊伯利作為歷史上最富盛名的科幻小說家，這篇小說也是通過精心編寫的。

9. 「The Bear Came Over the Mountain,」 Alice Munro

The undisputed queen of the short story, Alice Munro』s work is stark and often heartbreakingly raw, and this story of memory loss and the aching tenderness of human interaction is no different. Fun fact: this story was adapted into the film 「Away from Her」, starring Julie Christie and Gordon Pinsent.

門羅是毫無爭議的短篇小說女王，她的作品有一種朴實風格，常常帶著心跳般的粗獷，這篇關於喪失記憶以及人類互動中的痛苦和柔弱的小說也不例外。

10. 「The Nose,」 Nikolai Gogol

Gogol might be the oldest writer on this list, but he』s also one of the weirdest — in a good way. Nabokov once wrote, 「In Gogol…the absurd central character belongs to the absurd world around him but, pathetically and tragically, attempts to struggle out of it into the world of humans — and dies in despair.」 What else can an absurd noseless man do, after all?
果戈里應該是這個書單上最久遠的作家了，但是他也是最荒誕的小說家之一。納博科夫曾近這樣寫道：「在果戈里的作品中，荒誕的人物屬於他周圍荒誕的世界，但是卻可憐兮兮且悲慘地要逃離他的世界，最終死於絕望」。

9. 經典好看的英文小說有哪些

布克獎被認為是當代英語小說界的最高獎項，那你知道有哪些英文小說是很好看的嗎?下面我就來為大家推薦的經典好看的英文小說，歡迎參閱!

經典好看的英文小說
1、《狼廳》

希拉里·曼特爾

英國作家希拉里·曼特爾創作的歷史小說，作者花費了五年時間研究此書的創作。根據小說改編的同名電視劇《狼廳》收視率超過《神探夏洛克》、《羅馬》創造BBC十三年以來最高收視。

小說以都鐸王朝為背景，從亨利八世與凱瑟琳王後的離婚案為切入點，講述了紅衣大主教失勢、凱瑟琳王後遭廢黜、亨利八世迎娶安妮·博林等一系列事件。主人公托馬斯·克倫威爾處心積慮、步步為營，終於成為第一權臣。克倫威爾的生平與亨利八世的宮廷為兩條交織的線索，編織出一張反映16世紀初英格蘭政治、宗教及經濟圖景的巨網。

2、《釣魚的男孩》

奇戈希·奧比奧瑪

奈及利亞作家奇戈希·奧比奧瑪處女作。透過九歲男孩的天真之眼，窺見原始人性的罪與罰。被《紐約時報》《觀察家報》《經濟學人》《華爾街日報》《金融時報》、英國GQ雜志等17家媒體評選為“年度最佳圖書”。

故事講述了四個男孩趁父親不在，外出釣魚。他們在那裡遇見一個瘋子，瘋子預言大哥將會死在其中一個弟弟手中。懷疑的種子被種下，信任因此破裂，兄弟四人被無情的分離。一個無理的預言改變了四個男孩、一個家庭的命運……

3、《辛德勒名單》

托馬斯·肯尼利

美國導演史蒂芬·史匹柏執導的《辛德勒的名單》改編自這本小說，共獲七個奧斯卡金像獎與其他多個獎項。那個穿著紅衣服的小女孩也成為電影史上最經典的形象之一。

本書是澳大利亞小說家托馬斯·肯尼利的小說的作品，改編自真實事件。辛德勒目睹克拉科夫的猶太人遭到了慘絕人寰的大屠殺，因此受到了極大的震撼，他賄賂軍官，讓自己的工廠成為集中營的附屬勞役營，在那些瘋狂屠殺的日子裡，他的工廠也成為了猶太人的避難所。1944年，德國戰敗前夕，屠殺猶太人的行動越發瘋狂，辛德勒向德軍軍官開出了1200人的名單，傾家盪產買下了這些猶太人的生命。在那些暗無天日的歲月里，拯救一個人，就是拯救全世界。

4、《長日留痕》

石黑一雄

本書是著名日裔英國小說家石黑一雄的代表作。小說以不同凡響的現實主義手法，刻畫了一戰後英格蘭的一位盡善盡美之典型的男管家史蒂文斯及其頹廢乖戾、偏執保守的內心世界。他的文體以細膩優美著稱，幾乎每部小說都被提名或得獎，其作品已被翻譯成二十八種語言。

史蒂文斯作為一名追求完美的男管家，服務於達林頓府三十餘年。在此期間，他一方面盡力使自己成為男管家中的傑出人物，追求這一階層所特有的“尊嚴”，同時，他也為此付出了相當的代價，比如說不得不冷漠地處理父子親情，盲目忠實於其主人達林頓卻無視後者一度與納粹交往甚密、甚至幫助極右勢力的現實。這種盲目使他甚至失去了與心愛的女管家肯頓小姐的情感。作者以最能代表英格蘭社會和文化特徵的男管家為主角，以現實主義的手法入木三分地表現了英格蘭的政治、歷史、文化、傳統與人的思想意識。
好看的中文小說
《大染坊》

《大染坊》講述的是陳壽亭這位印染業奇才的奮斗故事，清朝末年,山東周村。十五歲陳六子父母早亡,以討飯為業。但他心存善良,天資聰明,胸懷大志。要飯之餘,愛去書棚聽說書,身受民間傳統文化浸染。在他要飯過程中,常常受到同樣窮困潦倒的瑣子叔的照顧,壽亭銘記在心,又偶然結識了苗海東……

他雖不識字，卻勇於創新，智計百出，深明大義，忠心愛國。可以說陳傑的《大染坊》既是個人奮斗的深情禮贊，也是一曲民族工業的悠長輓歌。

清朝末年的一個風雪之夜，乞丐陳壽亭佯裝凍昏，混入周村通和染坊。壽亭靠巧言令色，從劉師傅那裡偷學手藝，然後辭掉了高傲的師傅，自己出任主槽兼經理，是年十五歲。通和染坊有了商界奇，才便漸成霸主。

七七事變之後，政府不事抵抗，濟南頓為孤城。韓復榘棄城逃跑。陳壽亭雖是才力非凡，但面對國家覆亡，只能付諸絕望的微笑……

小說在抓住陳壽亭艱難創業這條主線的同時，還描寫了封建社會的芸芸眾生。諸如奸商的狡詐，娼妓的謅媚，洋奴的卑下……都刻畫得入骨三分，惟妙惟肖。至於家庭糾葛，倫理道德，親情恩怨……也寫得淋漓盡致，頗見功底。本書既是個人奮斗的深情禮贊，也是一曲民族工業的悠長輓歌。
經典的外國小說
《鋼鐵是怎樣煉成的》

《鋼鐵是怎樣煉成的》是蘇聯作家尼古拉•奧斯特洛夫斯基所著的一部於1933年寫成長篇小說，。小說通過保爾.柯察金的成長道路，告訴人們，一個人只有在革命的艱難困苦中戰勝敵人也戰勝自己，只有在把自己的追求和祖國、人民的利益聯系在一起的時候，才會創造出奇跡，才會成長為鋼鐵戰士。革命者在斗爭中百煉成鋼，是小說的一個重要主題。1942年，蘇聯根據原著小說拍攝了一部同名的電影。

《鋼鐵是怎樣煉成的》是一部描寫新人成長歷程和揭示新人優秀品質的優秀小說。當一位英國記者問作者為什麼以《鋼鐵是怎樣煉成的》為書名時，奧斯特洛夫斯基回答說：“鋼是在烈火與驟冷中鑄造而成的。只有這樣它才能成為堅硬的，什麼都不懼怕，我們這一代人也是在這樣的斗爭中、在艱苦的考驗中鍛煉出來的，並且學會了在生活面前不頹廢。” 這個書名，形象地概括了他所要表達的思想內容;自己這一代人的成長道路和思想性格。

通過保爾的成長道路，小說告訴人們，一個人只有在革命的艱難困苦中戰勝敵人也戰勝自己，只有在把自己的追求和祖國、人民的利益聯系在一起的時候，才會創造出奇跡，才會成長為鋼鐵戰士。革命者在斗爭中百煉成鋼，這是小說的一個重要主題。通過揭示保爾為了黨和人民的事業，敢於戰勝任何艱難困苦的剛毅性格，小說形象地告訴青年一代，什麼是共產主義理想，如何為共產主義理想去努力奮斗。革命戰士應當有一個什麼樣的人生，這是小說的又一主題。保爾在憑吊女戰友娃蓮的墓地時所說的那段話，就是他的共產主義人生觀的自白，也是對小說這一主題的闡發： “人最寶貴的東西是生命，生命對於我們只有一次。一個人的生命應當這樣度過;當他回憶往事的時候，他不因虛度年華而悔恨，也不因碌碌無為而羞愧——這樣，在臨死的時候，他能夠說：‘我整個的生命和全部精力，都已獻給世界上最壯麗的事業——為人類的解放而斗爭。’” 可以這樣來概括小說的主題思想：人的一生應當像保爾那樣去度過。
