　　01

　　George R. R. Martin — ’A Song of Ice and Fire: A Game of Thrones’

　　乔治·R·R·马丁——《冰与火之歌：权力的游戏》

　　

　　This novel needs no introduction. All of us have watched the TV series of the same name, or we have at least heard something about it. The events of the book take place on the continent of Westeros, where the characters are involved in a struggle for the throne. Royal intrigues, conspiracies, and war haunt the reader throughout the novel.

　　这部小说无需过多介绍。想必所有人都看过同名电视连续剧，最不济也对此书有所耳闻。该书的故事发生在维斯特洛大陆上，书里的角色在这里陷入了权力的纷争。在阅读小说过程中，读者能读到到皇权争夺，阴谋诡计和战争。

　　02

　　Gillian Flynn — ’Gone Girl’

　　吉莉安·弗琳——《消失的爱人》

　　

　　A married couple decides to celebrate their wedding anniversary, but suddenly one of the heroes of the occasion disappears. There are signs of a struggle and blood in the house. All the evidence points to the husband, but is he really guilty of his wife’s disappearance? The book makes us wonder how well we really know our soul mates.

　　一对夫妻打算庆祝他们的结婚纪念日，但是妻子却突然意外消失了。屋里有斗争迹象和流血的痕迹。一切线索都表明是丈夫杀了妻子，但事实确实如此吗？这本书让我们不禁思考是否真正了解自己的精神伴侣。

　　03

　　Kazuo Ishiguro — ’Never Let Me Go’

　　石黑一雄——《别让我走》

　　

　　A dystopian novel with such a realistic plot that it chills to the bone. The alternative Britain of the late 20th century. There’s a private boarding school where the children study and put on school plays. But over time the pupils learn that their fate is organ donation and that they were created in order to save the terminally ill.

　　这是一部反乌托邦小说，但是书中的现实主义情节令读者毛骨悚然。故事发生在20世纪末另类的英国，孩子们在一所私立寄宿学校里学习和玩耍。但不久之后学生们发现自己的真实身份是克隆人，他们的存在是为了器官捐献，而他们存活的意义是挽救患绝症的人类。（小译强烈推荐这本书，至今还记得第一次读这本书时的那种无力感）

　　04

　　January 1939, Germany. The tragic events in the country force a nine-year-old Liesel Meminger and her family to leave their home.

　　伊恩·麦克尤恩——《赎罪》

　　

　　A profound and lyrical novel about love and treachery, about art and the mistakes for which someone has to pay for — for the rest of their life. A teenage girl writes 'a chronicle of lost time,' childishly rethinking the events of adulthood. The book was filmed, and the film was presented at the Venice Film Festival, winning 2 Golden Globe Awards.

　　这部小说讲述了爱和背叛，围绕着艺术和用余生赎罪的故事展开。这是一部具有深远意义的抒情小说。它记录了一名青春期少女的‘迷失时期’，她曾幼稚地以为自己可以以成年人的思维成熟地思考问题。改编自此书的同名电影曾在威尼斯国际电影节上展映，并曾夺得两项金球奖。

　　08

　　Neil Gaiman — ’American Gods’

　　尼尔·盖曼——《美国众神》

　　

　　One of the author’s most famous works. This is a novel about the gods, brought to America by different people all around the world — revered, then forgotten — and about the thing that leaves no man indifferent: the search for a father, a homeland, a beloved woman... and about death — symbolic and real.

　　该书是作者尼尔·盖曼最有名的作品之一。这是一部关于众神的小说，人们从世界各地汇聚美国，随之带来了他们所尊敬信奉的神灵，但之后人们便将这些神灵遗忘。在小说中，为了寻找一位父亲，一个故乡，一位深爱的女人…以及面对死亡，人们不再像之前般冷漠。这部小说很真实，而且具有象征意义。

　　09

　　Khaled Hosseini — ’The Kite Runner’

　　A profound novel about the friendship and loyalty of two boys — Amir and Hassan. One of them belongs to the local aristocracy, and the other to a despised minority. Their stories unfold against the backdrop of the Kabul idyll, which is soon replaced by terrible storms. Each of the boys has his own destiny, but their bond is still as strong as in their childhood.
