Invisible Man 

by Ralph Ellison

First published in 1952 and immediately hailed as a masterpiece, Invisible Man is one of those rare novels that have changed the shape of American literature. For not only does Ralph Ellison's nightmare journey across the racial divide tell unparalleled truths about the nature of bigotry and its effects on the minds of both victims and perpetrators, it gives us an entirely new model of what a novel can be.



In Cold Blood 

by Truman Capote


1959 年 11 月 15 日,在堪萨斯州的霍尔科姆小镇,克拉特家族的四名成员被距离他们脸只有几英寸的猎枪的爆炸残忍地杀害。没有明显的犯罪动机,也几乎没有线索。当杜鲁门卡波特重建谋杀和导致凶手被捕、审判和处决的调查时,这本书包含着令人着迷的悬念。


On November 15, 1959, in the small town of Holcomb, Kansas, four members of the Clutter family were savagely murdered by blasts from a shotgun held a few inches from their faces. There was no apparent motive for the crime, and there were almost no clues. As Truman Capote reconstructs the murder and the investigation that led to the capture, trial, and execution of the killers, he generates both mesmerizing suspense and astonishing empathy.
