British retirees travel to India to take up residence in what they believe is a newly restored hotel. Less luxurious than its advertisements, the Marigold Hotel nevertheless slowly begins to charm in unexpected ways as the residents find new purpose in their old age.

A timeless tale by the incomparable Kate DiCamillo, complete with stunning full-color plates by Bagram Ibatoulline, honors the enduring power of love.

Once, in a house on Egypt Street, there lived a china rabbit named Edward Tulane. The rabbit was very pleased with himself, and for good he was owned by a girl named Abilene, who treated him with the utmost care and adored him completely.

And then, one day, he was lost.

Kate DiCamillo takes us on an extraordinary journey, from the depths of the ocean to the net of a fisherman, from the top of a garbage heap to the fireside of a hoboes' camp, from the bedside of an ailing child to the bustling streets of Memphis. And along the way, we are shown a true miracle — that even a heart of the most breakable kind can learn to love, to lose, and to love again.

2013 film by Stephen Frears

Beatrix Potter, the author of the beloved children's book "The Tale of Peter Rabbit", struggles for love, happiness and success.

The Great War rages across Europe, and not even the serene Yorkshire countryside is free from its effects.

Lord Robert Crawley and his family live a life of leisure, while a fleet of servants, including butler Carson, attend to their every need.

Since Crawley and Lady Cora have three daughters, his distant solicitor cousin, Matthew, becomes heir to the estate. With that, the scheming begins, since Thomas the footman views Bates as an interloper and Crawley's mother, Violet, feels the same way about Matthew's mother, Isobel.

Edmund Burke was the dominant political thinker of the last quarter of the eighteenth century in England. His reputation depends less on his role as a practising politician than on his ability to set contemporary problems within a wider context of political theory. Above all, he commented on change. He tried to teach lessons about how change should be managed, what limits should not be transgressed, and what should be reverently preserved. Burke's generation was much in need of advice on these matters. The Industrial Revolution, the American Revolution, and catastrophically, the French Revolution presented challenges of terrible proportions. They could promise paradise or threaten anarchy. Burke was acutely aware of how high the stakes were. The Reflections on the Revolution in France was a dire warning of the consequences that would follow the mismanagement of change.

奥威尔：被称为西方世界的良心，欧洲的鲁迅。
评论家认为“多一个人看奥威尔，就多了一份自由的保障。”
《动物农场》入选兰登书屋 20世纪百部优秀小说
西方文学的童话和寓言中，没有比《动物农场》更中肯地道出当今人类的处境的了。
——夏志清
翻译大家傅惟慈先生权威译作 内有精美插图 附赠英文原版
乔治·奥威尔（1903-1950），英国伟大的人道主义作家、新闻记者和社会评论家，著名的英语文体家。《动物农场》是奥威尔最优秀的作品之一，是一部老少皆宜的读物。对青少年读者，它是一个生动有趣的动物故事。对成熟的读者而言，则可以看作是一个入木三分的反乌托的政治讽喻寓言。故事讲到：农场的一群动物成功地进行了一场“革命”，将压榨他们的人类东家赶出农场，建立起一个平等的动物社会。然而，动物领袖，那些聪明的猪们最终却篡夺了革命的果实，成为比人类东家更加残忍的统治者。
用动物对人类抗争后自建家园来再现前苏联的整个历史情形，奥威尔的《动物农场》被公认为二十世纪最杰出的政治寓言。
《动物农场》被译成二十多种文字在全世界流传，其中的有些语言还变成了人们的口头禅，和《1984》并称为乔治・奥威尔最重要的代表作。此版本收有小说的英文原文。
本书以隐喻的形式写革命的发生以及革命的背叛，自然还有革命的残酷。
