    首先给大家分享的是Johnny老师的书单:


    1. 文学类


    Waiting by Ha Jin


    记得哈金在纽约时报的一次访谈说过:只爱国不爱家是一种病态。《等待》讲述的是因为部队一条规定,军医孔林为和没有感情基础的妻子离婚,足足等了18年的故事。无奈的等待,被动的人格——哈金可以创造许多个性独立的人物,也可以创造出一种强烈的宿命感。然而让人不得不相信的是,尽管哈金笔下都是虚构的人物,但命运本身就本该如此。很多人终其一生去寻找,结果却只是回到原点,这就是所谓的宿命吗?


    The Sympathizer by Viet Thanh Nguyen


    阮越清在一次采访中他是这么说的:“是成千上万在我之前的人们为了平等,社会正义和人人享有平等代表权的英勇斗争成就了我的小说。”「我是一个间谍,一个沉睡者,一个幽灵,一个双面人。」双面人的一生,注定布满人性的焦灼,这是一部关于忠诚、爱情和信仰的作品。《同情者》里的特工曾在1960年代以国际交换生的身份第一次来到美国,这时他对美国的爱就开始了:“他当然明白成就美国梦要面临的问题,要白手起家独立获得成功,要以全新的身份在美国重塑自己。他迷恋这些东西,同时也深深地怀疑它们。”


    All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr


    如果我们把世人分为两类——一类是向平凡生活投降的人,另一类是为它英勇而战的人——那么在圣马洛遭受炮轰的日子里,两个讨人喜欢又惹人怜悯的主人公向世人证明了:无论多么艰难险阻,人心总是向往善良。极力推荐给酷爱迈克尔•翁达杰《英国病人》的读者们:当平静的生活成为不可企及的黑暗之光,也不要在你活着的时候死去。


    The Son by Philipp Meyer


    在这部跨越几代人的史诗杰作中,扭曲的现代意象和野蛮的西方传说一起追捕在一望无际的大草原上。从来没有人能写出这样的小说,但如果你把《百年孤独》当成母马,把《血色子午线》当成种马,然后受惊产下马群,并将《火线》的演员装扮成科曼奇人,骑着马群通往地狱之门,你就会从中得到一些想法。这是一部可怕的悲剧,令人不安的喜剧,以及充满热烈激情的故事杰作,孕育自潜心的研究和权威性的散文,并提供了某种程度上无情却引人注目的200年之久的美国历史,读者感到敬畏并努力赶上他的呼吸。


    The Surrendered by Chang-Rae Lee


    有一种力量能让美国文学适应当前的市场需求并获得重生,这种力量曾多次在衰落时期拯救美国,它就是外来移民。韩裔美国作家李昌来从一名亚洲人的视角去审视朝鲜战争,再次丰富了美国战争文学。展现命运主题的《投降者》以韩战为背景,再跨越八十年代的纽约和意大利,将现实与历史交织在一起,描述战争对支离破碎家庭中的成员,造成的巨大心理创伤和身份认同困惑。


    In Other Rooms, Other Wonders by Daniyal Mueenuddin


    巴基斯坦作家Daniyal Mueenuddi丰富的人生经历就值得一书,他笔下的故事呈现了一个在现代与传统夹缝中的当代巴基斯坦,一个无法从新闻去构建的国度。不是动荡的政治,不是闻风色变的恐怖活动,而是巴基斯坦人日常的生活,他们的悲喜情爱,他们的欲望和失意。人类一再重复的故事,发生在不同的历史文化背景下,书写上形成的差异,或许是令人着迷的一点。现代文明宛如细小的蛛丝马斯,渗透其中,却显得柔弱无力,更强大的仍是根深蒂固的封建传统和旧有的社会形态、主仆关系,这种巨大的反差和陌生感,让人仿佛踏入了一个分裂的时空。


    Interpreter of Maladies by Jhumpa Lahiri


    裘帕•拉希莉的处女作捕捉到了移民,难民和他们的后代来到文化交汇之处所面临的矛盾冲突:一次停电促使一对印裔美国夫妇彼此部白忏悔,共同面对他们破碎的家庭和婚姻;目睹电视里如火如茶的巴基斯坦内战,一个女孩在过万圣节的时候找到了自己文化的根;跟着单自母亲、脖子上挂钥匙的小男孩,从来自加尔各答的孤独落寞的家庭主妇身上打到了一种共鸣;一位导游带著印裔美国家庭寻根访祖,意外听到了一个深藏多年的秘密……这些小说浸梁着印度文化栩栩如生的细节,以同情和智慧感动着每一个读者。


    The Hours by Michael Cunningham


    一位美国作家展现美国生活的杰作——这是普利策奖对迈克尔•坎宁安这部获奖作品的颁奖词。三个女人的一天,构织成一部关于人的失落、绝望、恐惧、憧憬和爱的作品。坎宁安凭借三人之间的微妙联系,将三个时代的并置于同一时间维度里,通过平行叙述来思考女性的价值、生活的本质。这本书另一个巨大的成功还在于,他让读者相信,深刻共享伟大的文学作品的思想是可能的,文学能向人们展示如何生活,以及应该向生活要求些什么。


    The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao by Junot Díaz 


    《奥斯卡•沃短暂而奇妙的一生》形象地反映了多米尼加裔移民在美国白人主流社会中的困境,他们一家三代的遭遇和悲剧揭示了独裁统治与种族歧视给人们带来的双重创伤和伤害。迪亚兹认为,只有人们享受到民主和自由,只有美国主流社会给予少数族裔更多的关注,少数族裔的人们才能摆脱诅咒和创伤,拥有真正的生活,寻觅到真爱。 


    Netherland by Joseph O’Neill


    约瑟夫•奥尼尔以9•11恐怖袭击后美国纽约为背景,在对纽约、伦敦和海牙的追忆与现实交替中展开对后9•11时代生命意义的追寻。9•11后,汉斯面临生存危机与婚姻危机,却在板球比赛中使近乎破碎的生命重放异彩;特立尼达移民恰克在身份焦虑中建构身份并寻求身份认同,继续其生存,亦体现其生命价值;汉斯与蕾切尔重修旧好而回归家庭,既是对其生活的超越,亦是其生命的升华。如《特别响,非常近》中的奥斯卡、泰茹•科尔《不设防之城》里尼日利亚精神病医生朱利叶斯,汉斯也一直在寻求人生的价值,重获生活的方向,努力追寻生命的意义。此亦说明奥尼尔借在美国被边缘化的板球隐喻,表现其对后9•11时代的纽约城及那些被边缘化的美国移民的关注。


    The Beautiful Things that Heaven Bears by Dinaw Mengetsu


    两岁时就随同家人从埃塞俄比亚移民到美国的Dinaw Mengetsu,透过笔下的主人公Sepha Stephanosw的眼睛来看失去一个家庭意味着什么。他唯一的两位朋友都是从非洲移民来的:一位是刚果的服务生,另一位是肯尼亚的技师,他们都是Sepha真心倾诉自己移民生活下的挫折不安和思乡情怀。直到一位白人女性Judith和她那黑白混血的女儿Naomi搬来与Sepha对门而住,Sepha居住的社区开始有了变化,有了热情,一天一点地让这块垂死的土地赋予生命,为废墟般的房子带来生机。她们成为Sepha的朋友,也是多年来首次让他记起「一个家的模样」。


    American Born Chinese by Gene Luen Yang 


    美籍漫画小说作家杨谨伦的《美生中国人》取材于杨谨伦的亲身经历和感受。对于成年以后才移民加美的亚洲人来说,这本书好似一扇打开的窗户,让我们看到一个三十多年前在此地长大、上学的亚裔孩子的生活。许多人在回望自己的童年和少年时代时,会对当年那个小小的自己心生怜惜。但是杨谨伦的回忆却似乎没有这个特征。在冷静剖析的同时,杨谨伦在《美生中国人》呈现出一个童话和现实交织的魔幻世界。在这个世界里,当时美国人对华人的种族偏见会幻化成一个长龅牙、梳小辫、处处让王谨难堪却无法摆脱的“表弟”,孙悟空会从天而降,来看望他的降落凡间的儿子并和王谨推心置腹。


    Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides


    这是一部如同史诗般浩荡的巨作,书中的主角「卡莉欧琵」与九位缪思女神之一同名,那位女神司掌的正是史诗。 故事以三代人的希腊家庭为背景,他们从小亚细亚一处能俯瞰奥林帕斯山的小村落逃难到漫天烟尘的底特律,见证了这个汽车城的光辉日子,经历了1967年的种族暴动,最后来到密西根州一处名为格洛斯波因的郊区。少女初长成的卡莉欧琵却发现自己在生理上的发育比其他女孩慢多了,丑小鸭迟迟未能变成天鹅。而且,卡莉欧琵在感情上的偏好也喜欢同性好友,难道这真的只是源于女校的同性情谊,或是有某种深埋地下的原因,像她身体里潜藏的番红花一样,正在蠢蠢欲动?一次意外事件解开了卡莉欧琵的身体之谜,把「卡莉欧琵」变成「卡尔」,也揭开了起源自祖父母甚至更久远之前的家族祕密。沿着家谱溯游而上,追寻横亘两个大陆与数百年的基因宿命,这个回溯,不仅是身体的、人─存在上的,也是文学上的。这使得《中性》同时彰显出女╱男、悲剧╱喜剧、古典╱后现代的双重面向。


    On Such a Full Sea by Chang-rae Lee


    从小说处女作《母语人士》(Native Speaker)开始,韩裔美国作家李昌来(Chang-rae Lee)写了很多在美国的移民经历。在他的最新小说《在如此完满的大海上》中,主人公是一个名叫“范”(Fan)的中国女人,生活在一个名为B-Mor的城市,而B-Mor其实是未来的巴尔的摩。这部小说讲述了一个反乌托邦的故事,设定各国处在铺天盖地的环境退化灾难之中。范来自雾霾严重的山西省,那里有数以万计的中国人和她一样,逃离环境毒化的家乡,前往B-Mor当食品生产工人。


    Unaccustomed Earth by Jhumpa Lahiri 


    作者擅长以传统上不被重视的孟加拉移民的视角,从一个崭新的角度讲述了这一族群在移民大国美国的生活故事。在她的这部中短篇小说集中,每个故事都是以平实而细致入微的语言,写出日常生活中的冲突与分离。这些从大方面看属于东西方文化的冲突,其实发生在每一个家庭中:新旧观念的碰撞、同一家庭成长中的比较与争执、前程往事对现有关系的影响、暧昧不明中的矛盾与关爱……他们面对的问题不止是两种文化间的选择与融合,还有他们与父母辈第一代移民之间因观念不同引发的矛盾和心结。难以逾越的代沟与无法割舍的亲情让他们陷入情感的两难。从孟买到西雅图,从加尔各答到罗马,他们感受着对爱情的感动,深处异乡的不适,婚姻的考验和同侪间的战争,带着孤独与不安、欢喜与悲伤在异国他乡生长并向下扎根。拉希里巧妙地捕捉一些看似琐碎的小事,忠实地记录了这些分散与重组中的家庭的日常生活,让这些极其寻常、极具个人色彩的悲欢离合,辐射出强大的动人力量。




    2. 历史类


    Custer's Trials: A Life on the Frontier of a New America by T. J. Stiles

    From the winner of two Pulitzer Prizes and a National Book Award, a brilliant biography of Gen. George Armstrong Custer that radically changes our view of the man and his turbulent times. In this magisterial biography, T. J. Stiles paints a portrait of Custer both deeply personal and sweeping in scope, proving how much of Custer’s legacy has been ignored. He demolishes Custer’s historical caricature, revealing a volatile, contradictory, intense person—capable yet insecure, intelligent yet bigoted, passionate yet self-destructive, a romantic individualist at odds with the institution of the military (he was court-martialed twice in six years).

     

    Empire of Cotton: A Global History by Sven Beckert

    The empire of cotton was, from the beginning, a fulcrum of constant global struggle between slaves and planters, merchants and statesmen, workers and factory owners. Sven Beckert makes clear how these forces ushered in the world of modern capitalism, including the vast wealth and disturbing inequalities that are with us today. The result is a book as unsettling as it is enlightening: a book that brilliantly weaves together the story of cotton with how the present global world came to exist.

     

     

    The Barbarous Years: The Peopling of British North America: The Conflict of Civilizations, 1600-1675 by Bernard Bailyn

    Bernard Bailyn gives us a compelling, fresh account of the first great transit of people from Britain, Europe, and Africa to British North America, their involvements with each other, and their struggles with the indigenous peoples of the eastern seaboard. It was a thoroughly brutal encounter—not only between the Europeans and native peoples and between Europeans and Africans, but among Europeans themselves, as they sought to control and prosper in the new configurations of life that were emerging around them.

     

     

    Lincoln’s Code: The Laws of War in American History by John Fabian Witt

    In this deeply original book, John Fabian Witt tells the fascinating history of the laws of war and its eminent cast of characters—Washington, Jefferson, Franklin, Madison, and Lincoln—as they crafted the articles that would change the course of world history. Witt’s engrossing exploration of the dilemmas at the heart of the laws of war is a prehistory of our own era. Lincoln’s Code reveals that the heated controversies of twenty-first-century warfare have roots going back to the beginnings of American history. It is a compelling story of ideals under pressure and a landmark contribution to our understanding of the American experience.

     

    The Internal Enemy: Slavery and War in Virginia, 1772-1832 by Alan Taylor

    Frederick Douglass recalled that slaves living along Chesapeake Bay longingly viewed sailing ships as "freedom’s swift-winged angels." In 1813 those angels appeared in the bay as British warships coming to punish the Americans for declaring war on the empire. Over many nights, hundreds of slaves paddled out to the warships seeking protection for their families from the ravages of slavery. Drawn from new sources, Alan Taylor's riveting narrative re-creates the events that inspired black Virginians, haunted slaveholders, and set the nation on a new and dangerous course.

     

    Railroaded: The Transcontinentals and the Making of Modern America by Richard White

    This original, deeply researched history shows the transcontinentals to be pivotal actors in the making of modern America. But the triumphal myths of the golden spike, robber barons larger than life, and an innovative capitalism all die here. Instead we have a new vision of the Gilded Age, often darkly funny, that shows history to be rooted in failure as well as success.

     

    Embers of War: The Fall of an Empire and the Making of America’s Vietnam by Fredrik Logevall

    Written with the style of a great novelist and the intrigue of a Cold War thriller, Embers of War is a landmark work that will forever change your understanding of how and why America went to war in Vietnam. Tapping newly accessible diplomatic archives in several nations, Fredrik Logevall traces the path that led two Western nations to tragically lose their way in the jungles of Southeast Asia. Eye-opening and compulsively readable, Embers of War is a gripping, heralded work that illuminates the hidden history of the French and American experiences in Vietnam.

     

    Empires, Nations & Families: A History of the North American West, 1800-1860 by Anne F. Hyde

    The Louisiana Purchase in 1803 doubled the size of the new United States, promising not only land but prosperity for its citizens. But the West was not the virgin wilderness of common myth. Rather, as historian Anne F. Hyde makes clear in her groundbreaking, prizewinning history, America was a newcomer in a place already complicated by vying empires–native and European. Here, for the first time, she traces the network of multiethnic family associations, which, along with the river systems of the trans-Mississippi West, had formed the basis for the global fur trade for centuries.

     

    Lords of Finance: The Bankers Who Broke the World by Liaquat Ahamed

    It is commonly believed that the Great Depression that began in 1929 resulted from a confluence of events beyond any one person's or government's control. In fact, as Liaquat Ahamed reveals, it was the decisions made by a small number of central bankers that were the primary cause of that economic meltdown, the effects of which set the stage for World War II and reverberated for decades. As yet another period of economic turmoil makes headlines today, Lords of Finance is a potent reminder of the enormous impact that the decisions of central bankers can have, their fallibility, and the terrible human consequences that can result when they are wrong.

     

    Fordlandia: The Rise and Fall of Henry Ford's Forgotten Jungle City by Greg Grandin

    Proving that truth can indeed be stranger than fiction, Fordlandia is the story of Henry Ford's ill-advised attempt to transform raw Brazilian rainforest into homespun slices of Americana. With sales of his Model-T booming, the automotive tycoon saw an opportunity to expand his reach further by exploiting a downtrodden Brazilian rubber industry. Instead of ushering in a new era of commerce, Fordlandia became a cautionary tale of a dream destroyed by hubris.

     

    The Fiery Trial: Abraham Lincoln and American Slavery by Eric Foner

    Selected as a Notable Book of the Year by the New York Times Book Review, this landmark work gives us a definitive account of Lincoln's lifelong engagement with the nation's critical issue: American slavery. A master historian, Eric Foner draws Lincoln and the broader history of the period into perfect balance. We see Lincoln, a pragmatic politician grounded in principle, deftly navigating the dynamic politics of antislavery, secession, and civil war. Lincoln's greatness emerges from his capacity for moral and political growth

     

    A Dreadful Deceit: The Myth of Race from the Colonial Era to Obama's America by Jacqueline Jones

    Despite the long, tortured American history surrounding “race,” the thing itself is mythology, a social construct used to rationalize exploitation and abuse of power, argues historian Jones. Focusing on the lives of six African Americans, she traces the use of race to exploit from the seventeenth to the late-twentieth centuries. Through these six individuals, Jones offers a provocative analysis of “race” and the abuse of power.

     

    Encounters at the Heart of the World: A History of the Mandan People by Elizabeth A. Fenn

    Anyone who has seen the sensitive portraits of Mandan chiefs painted in the 1830s by George Catlin and Karl Bodmer will be captivated by Fenn’s exhaustively researched history of the tribe that once thrived on the upper Missouri River in present-day North Dakota—at one time the center of northern Plains commerce. Simultaneously scholarly and highly readable, Fenn’s contribution enriches our understanding of not just Mandan history but also the history and culture of the pre-reservation northern Plains as well.



    3. 传记类



    The First Tycoon: The Epic Life of Cornelius Vanderbilt by T.J. Stiles

    In this groundbreaking biography, T.J. Stiles tells the dramatic story of Cornelius “Commodore” Vanderbilt, the combative man and American icon who, through his genius and force of will, did more than perhaps any other individual to create modern capitalism. Epic in its scope and success, the life of Vanderbilt is also the story of the rise of America itself.

     

    Cheever: A Life by Blake Bailey

    John Cheever spent much of his career impersonating a perfect suburban gentleman, the better to become one of the foremost chroniclers of postwar America. Written with unprecedented access to essential sources—including Cheever’s massive journal, only a fraction of which has ever been published—Bailey’s Cheever is a stunning example of the biographer’s art and a brilliant tribute to an essential author.

     

    The Publisher: Henry Luce and His American Century by Alan Brinkley

    Invariably drawing comparisons with the political slant of his subject's magazines, reviewers praised Alan Brinkley's evenhandedness in The Publisher. They portrayed the book as an antidote not only to earlier, more negative biographies but to a generation that cannot comprehend the influence once held by Time brethren, especially in this age of digital information. Then again, for a man of such public titanic proportions, he remained a lonely, private man.

     

    The Black Count: Glory, Revolution, Betrayal, and the Real Count of Monte Cristo by Tom Reiss

    Generations have been enthralled by Alexandre Dumas' characters, especially the wronged hero in The Count of Monte Cristo and the daring swordsmen in The Three Musketeers. Yet few realize that these memorable characters were inspired by Dumas' father, General Alex Dumas, the son of a French count and a black Haitian slave. Tom Reiss brings the elder Dumas alive with previously unpublished correspondence and meticulous research, providing the context necessary to understand how exceptional his life as a mulatto general in a slave-owning empire truly was.

     

    Portrait of a Novel: Henry James and the Making of an American Masterpiece by Michael Gorra

    Henry James (1843–1916) has had many biographers, but Michael Gorra has taken an original approach to this great American progenitor of the modern novel, combining elements of biography, criticism, and travelogue in re-creating the dramatic backstory of James’s masterpiece, Portrait of a Lady (1881). Gorra, an eminent literary critic, shows how this novel―the scandalous story of the expatriate American heiress Isabel Archer―came to be written in the first place.

     

    Barbarian Days: A Surfing Life by William Finnegan

    Barbarian Days is William Finnegan’s memoir of an obsession, a complex enchantment. Surfing only looks like a sport. To initiates, it is something else: a beautiful addiction, a demanding course of study, a morally dangerous pastime, a way of life. Barbarian Days takes us deep into unfamiliar worlds, some of them right under our noses—off the coasts of New York and San Francisco. It immerses the reader in the edgy camaraderie of close male friendships forged in challenging waves.

     

    Custer's Trials: A Life on the Frontier of a New America by T.J. Stiles

    As with many American icons, we really don’t know much about General George Armstrong Custer. Born poor in Ohio, educated at West Point, where he barely graduated, Custer’s reputation expanded quickly during the Civil War. He was brave, he could lead, and he possessed that “Custer luck.” We all know where that luck ended. Or do we? T.J. Stiles’ writing and research is as much hero here as Custer, and it sets this biography apart from so many others.

     

    Vera, Mrs. Vladimir Nabokov by Stacy Schiff

    She was wearing a black satin mask when they first met in 1923, and in a sense she wore a mask--that of the dutiful wife and helpmeet--throughout their 52-year marriage. Especially after the American publication of Lolita made her husband notorious in 1958, Véra Nabokov's presence at her husband's side was crucial, writes her biographer Stacy Schiff. Schiff's elegant prose and eye for nuance nearly match Nabokov himself in this lucid, unsentimental portrait of a marriage.

     

    Galileo's Daughter: A Historical Memoir of Science, Faith, and Love by Dava Sobel

    Everyone knows that Galileo Galilei dropped cannonballs off the leaning tower of Pisa, developed the first reliable telescope, and was convicted by the Inquisition for holding a heretical belief--that the earth revolved around the sun. But did you know he had a daughter? In Galileo's Daughter, Dava Sobel (author of the bestselling Longitude) tells the story of the famous scientist and his illegitimate daughter, Sister Maria Celeste. Sobel bases her book on 124 surviving letters to the scientist from the nun, whom Galileo described as "a woman of exquisite mind, singular goodness, and tenderly attached to me." With her fluid prose and graceful turn of phrase, Sobel breathes life into Galileo, his daughter, and the earth-centered world in which they lived.

     

    The Peabody Sisters: Three Women Who Ignited American Romanticism by Megan Marshall

    Marshall's outstanding debut is a triple biography making clear that Margaret Fuller wasn't the only woman of substance in Transcendentalist circles in 19th-century Massachusetts. The Peabody sisters were bright, gifted, independent and influential; they knew a host of notables, from Abigail Adams to Ralph Waldo Emerson. Marshall has distilled 20 years of research into a book that brings the sisters to life, along with their extended family and friends, and the time in which they matured: a time, Marshall notes, that allowed women to be on a more equal footing than they would enjoy later in the century.

     

    Will in the World: How Shakespeare Became Shakespeare by Stephen Greenblatt

    A young man from a small provincial town moves to London in the late 1580s and, in a remarkably short time, becomes the greatest playwright not of his age alone but of all time. How is an achievement of this magnitude to be explained? How did Shakespeare become Shakespeare? Stephen Greenblatt brings us down to earth to see, hear, and feel how an acutely sensitive and talented boy, surrounded by the rich tapestry of Elizabethan life, could have become the world's greatest playwright.

     

     

    Karl Marx: A Nineteenth-Century Life byJonathan Sperber

    In this magisterial biography of Karl Marx, “likely to be definitive for many years to come” (John Gray, New York Review of Books), historian Jonathan Sperber creates a meticulously researched and multilayered portrait of both the man and the revolutionary times in which he lived. Based on unprecedented access to the recently opened archives of Marx’s and Engels’s complete writings, Karl Marx: A Nineteenth-Century Life provides a historical context for the personal story of one of the most influential and controversial political philosophers in Western history.

     

    Malcolm X: A Life of Reinvention by Manning Marable

    Hailed as "a masterpiece" (San Francisco Chronicle), the late Manning Marable's acclaimed biography of Malcolm X finally does justice to one of the most influential and controversial figures of twentieth-century American history. Filled with startling new information and shocking revelations, Malcolm X unfolds a sweeping story of race and class in America. Malcolm X is a stunning achievement, the definitive work on one of our greatest advocates for social change.
