《红字》是霍桑的第一部长篇小说，一八五○年该书问世后，霍桑一举成名，成为当时公认的最重要的作家。《红字》故事的背景，是一六五○年前后的波士顿，当时的居民是一六二○至一六三○年间来此定居的第一代移民。他们都是在英格兰故土受詹姆斯一世迫害而抱着创建人间乐土的理想来新大陆的清教徒（加尔文主义者），史称“清教徒国父”（又译作“天路客国父”）。清教徒在英国最初是反抗罗马教皇专制、反对政教合一、反对社会腐败风气的，他们注重理智，限制感情，推崇理想，禁绝私欲；后来其中某些教派在北美殖民地却发展到极端，不但迫害异端，甚至连妇女在街上微笑都要处以监禁，儿童嬉戏也要加以鞭笞。

这是一部全面介绍阿根廷的著名小说家、诗人豪尔赫・路易斯・
博尔赫斯及其作品的文学传记。
博尔赫斯的一生充满传奇色彩和戏剧性：博氏家族诞生诸多勇士，
在战争中创下过许多英雄业绩，这使博尔赫斯自小就“宗教般地”崇拜
祖神和男子气概。他生性聪明，有较高的文学天份，曾获得过“福门托”
文学奖和西班牙塞万提斯奖等多种国际文学奖。也许正是这种戏剧化
的人生，使他感悟到生命与命运恰似一个“迷宫”，苦苦的追求往往徒
劳，只有在偶然的机遇中拥有无限勇气的人才能到达自身迷宫的中心，
发现自身的价值，从而诞生了他那“或采用神秘的侦探小说形式，或在
杜撰虚构的情节中糅入真实的（或貌似真实的）文献资料，使读者真伪
难辨”、阅读趣味横生的“迷宫般的小说”。传记的作者正是在对作家
“迷宫般的心灵境地”和“迷宫般的创作”有了完整的把握，才写下这部
既有研究价值又很有可读性的传记。从中读者不仅可以触摸到一个拥
有无限勇气的“跋涉者”不屈的命运和被世界文坛赞誉的“迷宫小说”衍
生的脉络，同时也展示了一个成功者从“平凡走向伟大”的性格发展史，
获得各自应有的启悟。

盖茨比为了久久地抱着的一个梦而付出了很高的代价。他死后，尼克发觉是汤姆暗中挑拨威尔逊去杀死盖茨比。他感到东部鬼影幢幢，世态炎凉，便决定回中西部老家去。这是一个简单的故事，却有着极悲凉的人生况味。

霍尔顿是出身于富裕中产阶级的十六岁少年，在第四次被开除出学校之后，不敢贸然回家，只身在美国最繁华的纽约城游荡了一天两夜，住小客店，逛夜总会，滥交女友，酗酒……他看到了资本主义社会的种种丑恶，接触了各式各样的人物，其中大部分是“假模假式的”伪君子。
霍尔顿几乎看不惯周围发生的一切，他甚至想逃离这个现实世界，到穷乡僻壤去假装一个又聋又哑的人，但要真正这样做，又是不可能的，结果他只能生活在矛盾之中：他这一辈子最痛恨电影，但百无聊赖中又不得不在电影院里消磨时间；他厌恶没有爱情的性关系，却又糊里糊涂地叫来了妓女；他讨厌虚荣庸俗的女友萨丽，却又迷恋她的美色，情不自禁地与她搂搂抱抱。
因此，他尽管看不惯世道，却只好苦闷、彷惶，用种种不切实际的幻想安慰自己，自欺欺人，最后仍不免对现实社会妥协，成不了真正的叛逆，这可以说是作者塞林格和他笔下人物霍尔顿的悲剧所在。
