劳伦斯威尔高中暑假阅读清单

1    All the Light We Cannot See,《我们看不见的所有光明》

作者: 安东尼·多尔(Anthony Doerr,1973年10月27日-),美国小说家和短篇故事作家,作品包括《捡贝壳的人》(The Shell Collector)、《关于恩典》(About Grace)、《罗马四季》(Four Seasons in Rome)、《记忆墙》(Memory Wall)等书。多尔凭短篇小说三次获得欧亨利小说奖、一次全国杂志奖和手推车奖。

简介:法国少女玛丽洛尔生活在巴黎,幼年失明后,父亲保护她、训练她,鼓励她勇敢生活下去。1940年,德国 入侵,她被迫离家,不久又与父亲骨肉分离,以瘦削的肩膀抵抗纳粹暴政。德国少年维尔纳从小失去双亲,与妹妹在矿区孤儿院相依为命。一心想摆脱底层命运的他,凭借无线电天赋跻身纳粹精英学校,本以为是命运的转折,不料却跌入另一个地狱。战争碾碎了他们的希望,两个陌生人的生命轨迹也意外交汇。当平静的生活成为不可企及的黑暗之光,他们是否有勇气,在死之前,活出生机?

Marie-Laure lives in Paris near the Museum of Natural History, where her father works. When she is twelve, the Nazis occupy Paris and father and daughter flee to the walled citadel of Saint-Malo, where Marie-Laure’s reclusive great uncle lives in a tall house by the sea. With them they carry what might be the museum’s most valuable and dangerous jewel. 

In a mining town in Germany, Werner Pfennig, an orphan, grows up with his younger sister, enchanted by a crude radio they find that brings them news and stories from places they have never seen or imagined. Werner becomes an expert at building and fixing these crucial new instruments and is enlisted to use his talent to track down the resistance. Deftly interweaving the lives of Marie-Laure and Werner, Doerr illuminates the ways, against all odds, people try to be good to one another.

2     A Very Long Engagement,《漫长的婚约》

作者: 塞巴斯蒂安·雅普瑞索 (Sébastien Japrisot, 1931—2003) 法国当代杰出的作家、编剧、导演,被誉为“法国的格雷厄姆·格林”。雅普瑞索几乎所有的作品都被搬上银幕,还被翻译成多种文字,被认为是最受外国读者喜爱的法国作家之一

简介:1917年1月,五名受伤的法国士兵被反绑双手,被自己的部队带到皮卡第,扔到法德国军队之间的无人区等死。他们的残酷惩罚已被掩盖了两年多,当时玛蒂尔德·唐纳(Mathilde Donnay)从小就无法行走,她开始不懈地寻找她那在官方宣告里战死的未婚夫,也许还活着。机灵,讽刺,极富想象力的马蒂尔德,向全国搜寻有关这些人的信息。当她进行搜索的最后阶段时,发现了精心制作的欺骗和巧合之网,而玛蒂尔德也了解了战争带来的恐怖和善行。 

In January 1917, five wounded French soldiers, their hands bound behind them, are brought to the front at Picardy by their own troops, forced into the no-man's land between the French and German armies, and left to die in the cross fire. Their brutal punishment has been hushed up for more than two years when Mathilde Donnay, unable to walk since childhood, begins a relentless quest to find out whether her fiancé, officially "killed in the line of duty," might still be alive. Tipped off by a letter from a dying soldier, the shrewd, sardonic, and wonderfully imaginative Mathilde scours the country for information about the men. As she carries her search to its end, an elaborate web of deception and coincidence emerges, and Mathilde comes to an understanding of the horrors, and the acts of kindness, brought about by war. 

3    Cities of the Plain,《平原上的城市》

作者: 科马克·麦卡锡(Cormac McCarthy),1933年出生于美国罗得岛州,小说家和剧作家。”边境三部曲“引起图书界的轰动,荣膺美国国家图书奖和国家书评奖。由《老无所依》改编的同名电影力夺奥斯卡最佳影片等四项重量级奖项。

简介:本书是“边境三部曲”最终一部。1952年,约翰·格雷迪·科尔(John Grady Cole)和比利·帕拉姆(Billy Parham)在新墨西哥州作为牧场手,离阿拉莫戈多(Alamogordo)和埃尔帕索(El Paso)和华雷斯(Juarez)的试验场不远。他们的生活由越野快车,马具拍卖和篝火灯光所讲述的故事组成。他们更加珍惜生活,因为他们知道生活随时会改变。当约翰·格雷迪(John Grady)爱上了一个美丽,病态严重的墨西哥妓女,并引发了一系列无法阻止的暴力事件时,变化就来了。《平原上的城市》充满着悲伤,幽默和敬畏之美,是一部真正的美国史诗。

The concluding volume of the Border trilogy. In this magnificent new novel, the National Book Award-winning author of All the Pretty Horses and The Crossing fashions a darkly beautiful elegy for the American frontier. It is 1952 and John Grady Cole and Billy Parham are working as ranch hands in New Mexico, not far from the proving grounds of Alamogordo and the cities of El Paso and Juarez. Their life is made up of trail drives and horse auctions and stories told by campfire light. They value that life all the more because they know it is about to change forever. The change comes when John Grady falls in love with a beautiful, ill-starred Mexican prostitute and sets in motion a chain of events as violent as they are unstoppable. Haunting in its beauty, filled with sorrow, humor, and awe, Cities of the Plain is a genuine American epic.

4     Dune,《沙丘》

作者: 弗兰克·帕特里克·赫伯特(Franklin Patrick Herbert, Jr. ,1920-1986),美国科幻小说家,作家。代表作为两套沙丘三部曲。《沙丘》第一部一经出版就倍受欢迎,获得当年星云奖,下一年又并列获得雨果奖。沙丘系列已经被改编为电影、电视剧和很多电脑游戏,以及一系列前传,由作者的儿子布赖恩·赫伯特和凯文·J·安德森合著。《沙丘》获誉为史上最伟大的科幻小说之一,也被普遍认为是最畅销的科幻小说。

简介:故事背景设定在遥远未来的庞大的封建星际帝国中,整个行星朝代由效忠科里诺(Corrino)皇室的贵族们所把控。沙丘讲述了年轻的保罗·阿特雷德斯(Paul Atreides)(莱托·阿特雷德斯公爵的继任者和众议院阿特雷德斯的继承人)的故事。他的家族接管了沙漠星球阿拉基斯(Arrakis)的控制权,这是“香料”混合物的唯一来源,这是宇宙中最重要和最有价值的物质。随着帝国中的各方面势力相互对峙以控制阿拉基斯,这个故事探讨了政治,宗教,生态,技术和人类情感的复杂的多层次的相互影响,

Set in the far future amidst a sprawling feudal interstellar empire where planetary dynasties are controlled by noble houses that owe an allegiance to the imperial House Corrino. Dune tells the story of young Paul Atreides (the heir apparent to Duke Leto Atreides and heir of House Atreides) as he and his family accept control of the desert planet Arrakis, the only source of the 'spice' melange, the most important and valuable substance in the cosmos. The story explores the complex, multi-layered interactions of politics, religion, ecology, technology, and human emotion as the forces of the empire confront each other for control of Arrakis.

5    Franny and Zooey,《弗兰妮和祖伊》

作者: 杰罗姆・大卫・塞林格(J. D. Salinger, 1919-2010),美国当代著名作家,一九一九年生于美国纽约城,父亲是做于酪和火腿进口生意的犹太商人,家境富裕。《弗兰妮与祖伊》是.塞林格继《麦田里的守望者》(在我们的AX阅读书单里介绍过)、《九故事》之后出版的第三部作品,由《弗兰妮》与《祖伊》这两个相互有关联的中短篇小说组成,二者均发表于《纽约客》杂志,于一九六一年结集出版。

简介:短篇小说《弗兰尼》(Franny)发生在一个没有名字的大学城里,讲述了一个本科生的故事,这个本科生对她周围的一切都变得自私和虚伪着迷。 

中篇小说Zooey以玻璃家族第二年轻的成员Zooey Glass命名。当他的妹妹弗兰尼(Franny)在父母的曼哈顿起居室遭受精神上和生存上的折磨时-留下母亲贝西(Bessie)倍受关注-佐伊(Zooey)伸出援手,提供了他认为是兄弟般的爱,理解和言语明智的建议。

The short story, Franny, takes place in an unnamed college town and tells the tale of an undergraduate who is becoming disenchanted with the selfishness and inauthenticity she perceives all around her. 

The novella, Zooey, is named for Zooey Glass, the second-youngest member of the Glass family. As his younger sister, Franny, suffers a spiritual and existential breakdown in her parents' Manhattan living room -- leaving Bessie, her mother, deeply concerned -- Zooey comes to her aid, offering what he thinks is brotherly love, understanding, and words of sage advice.

6     The Beautiful Struggle, 《美丽的斗争*》

推荐人:安妮·普法夫(Annie Pfaff),学校发展办公室职员

推荐理由:一个关于父子的非凡故事,讲述了考验我们的现实,支持我们的传说以及拯救我们的爱。保罗·科茨(Paul Coates)对他的儿子们来说是个谜一样的神:一位和黑豹党(Black Panthers)打交道的越战老兵,一位守旧派纪律人士但同时也崇尚自由恋爱,他是一位自谋职业者,他在地下室创办了一家致力于讲述真实非洲文明历史的出版公司。最重要的是,他是一个狡猾的战术家,他的任务是带着儿子们越过青春期,穿越克雷克时代的崩溃的巴尔的摩文明,进入他工作的霍华德大学的安全之所。他的孩子们可以在这免费上学。

An exceptional father-son story about the reality that tests us, the myths that sustain us, and the love that saves us. 

Paul Coates was an enigmatic god to his sons: a Vietnam vet who rolled with the Black Panthers, an old-school disciplinarian and new-age believer in free love, an autodidact who launched a publishing company in his basement dedicated to telling the true history of African civilization. Most of all, he was a wily tactician whose mission was to carry his sons across the shoals of inner-city adolescence and through the collapsing civilization of Baltimore in the Age of Crack, and into the safe arms of Howard University, where he worked so his children could attend for free.

7     Guns, Germs and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies, 《枪炮、病菌与钢铁:人类社会的命运》

作者: 贾雷德·梅森·戴蒙德(Jared Mason Diamond), 美国UCLA(加州大学洛杉矶分校)医学院生理学教授,演化生物学家、生理学家、生物地理学家以及非小说类作家。本书于1998年获得普利策奖以及英国科普书奖。国家地理学会根据本书拍摄的纪录片于2005年7月在美国公共电视网播出

简介:贾里德·戴蒙德(Jared Diamond)在这本“巧妙,信息丰富且令人愉悦的书”( William H. McNeill,纽约书评)中,令人信服地指出,地理和环境因素影响了现代世界。在粮食生产上起步较早的社会已经超越了狩猎者-采集者的阶段,然后发展了文字,技术,政府和有组织的宗教以及讨厌的细菌和强大的战争武器,并在海上和陆地上冒险征服和消灭识字文化。在我们对人类社会的理解方面,枪支,细菌和钢铁的重大进步记载了现代世界的形成方式,并惊人地摧毁了基于种族的人类历史学理论。

In this "artful, informative, and delightful" (William H. McNeill, New York Review of Books) book, Jared Diamond convincingly argues that geographical and environmental factors shaped the modern world. Societies that had a head start in food production advanced beyond the hunter-gatherer stage, and then developed writing, technology, government, and organized religion—as well as nasty germs and potent weapons of war—and adventured on sea and land to conquer and decimate preliterate cultures. A major advance in our understanding of human societies, Guns, Germs, and Steel chronicles the way that the modern world came to be and stunningly dismantles racially based theories of human history.
