    《十日谈》：乔万尼·薄伽丘所著，是意大利文学史上第一部现实主义巨著，是世界文学史上具有巨大社会价值的文学作品；意大利近代著名评论家桑克提斯曾把《十日谈》与但丁的《神曲》并列，称之为“人曲”。 1348年，意大利一城市瘟疫流行，10名男女在乡村一所别墅里避难。他们终日游玩欢宴，每人每天讲一个故事，共住了10天讲了百个故事，这些故事批判天主教会，嘲笑教会传授黑暗和罪恶，赞美爱情是才华和高尚情操的源泉，谴责禁欲主义，无情暴露和鞭挞封建贵族的堕落和腐败，体现了人文主义思想。
　　《伊里亚特与奥德赛》：《荷马史诗》是希腊最早的一部史诗，包括《伊利亚特》和《奥德赛》两部分，相传是由盲诗人荷马所作，实际上它产生于民间口头文学。 伊利亚特（ΙΛΙΑΣ，Ilias,Iliad, 又译《伊利昂记》，今译《伊利亚特》。） 是古希腊盲诗人荷马(Homer, 800BC-600BC)的叙事诗史诗。是重要的古希腊文学作品，也是整个西方的经典之一。

　　《库克船长》：詹姆斯·库克（James Cook）是英国的一位探险家、航海家和制图学家。他由于进行了三次探险航行而闻名于世。通过这些探险考察，他给人们关于大洋，特别是太平洋的地理学知识增添了新的内容。他还被认为在通过改善船员的饮食，包括增加水果和蔬菜等来预防长期航行中出现的坏血病方面也有所贡献。库克船长在太平洋和南极洲的伟大的航行为世界科学发展作出了巨大的贡献， 同时他也是第一位绘制澳大利亚东海岸海图的人。
　　《马可·波罗游记》：由马可波罗在狱中口述，由其狱友笔录写成。《马可·波罗游记》是第一次较全面地报道中国的、影响极大的一部书，记录了中亚，西亚，东南亚等地区的许多国家的情况，而其重点部分则是关于中国的叙述，以大量的篇章，热情洋溢的语言，记述了中国无穷无尽的财富，巨大的商业城市，极好的交通设施，以及华丽的宫殿建筑。这些叙述在中古时代的地理学史，亚洲历史，中西交通史和中意关系史诸方面，都有着重要的历史价值。

内容简介：
　　1348.The Black Death is sweeping through Europe.In Florence,plague has carried off one hundred thousand people.In their Tuscan villas,seven young women and three young men tell tales to recreate the world they have lost,weaving a rich tapestry of comedy,tragedy,ribaldry and farce.Boccaccio's Decameron recasts the storytelling heritage of the ancient and medieval worlds into perennial forms that inspired writers from Chaucer and Shakespeare down to our own day.Boccaccio makes the incredible believable,with detail so sharp we can look straight into the lives of people who lived six hundred years ago.His Decameron hovers between the fading glories of an aristocratic past-the Crusades,the Angevins,the courts of France,the legendary East-and the colourful squalor of contemporary life,where wives deceive husbands,friars and monks pursue fleshly ends,and natural instincts fight for satisfaction.Here are love and jealousy,passion and pride-and a shrewd calculation of profit and loss which heralds the rise of a dynamic merchant class.These stories show us early capitalism during a moment of crisis and revelation.

内容简介：
　　Hector bidding farewell to his wife and baby son, Odysseusbound to the mast listening to the Sirens, Penelope at the loom,Achilles dragging Hector's body round the walls of Troy - scenesfrom Homer have been reportrayed in every generation. The questionsabout mortality and identity that Homer's heroes ask, the bonds oflove, respect and fellowship that motivate them, have grippedaudiences for three millennia. Chapman's Iliad and Odyssey aregreat English epic poems, but they are also two of the liveliestand readable translations of Homer. Chapman's freshness makes theeveryday world of nature and the craftsman as vivid as thebattlefield and Mount Olympus. His poetry is driven by theexcitement of the Renaissance discovery of classical civilisationas at once vital and distant, and is enriched by the perspectivesof humanist thought.

The Great Comedies and Tragedies最伟大的悲喜剧

内容简介：
　　The Comedies with Introductions by Judith Buchanan These Comedies are among the best loved of Shakespeare's plays. In each a problem emerges, is then intensified to a point of maximum confusion and potential upset, before the chaos is resolved, however improbably, into general goodwill and a spate of marriages. The triumph of these plays lies in the way they mingle humorous stage business and dexterous word play with a more serious study of identity, gender, dreaming, the meaning of love, even of the theatre itself. They reassure us that with all its faults, the world will always in the end be redeemable. The Tragedies with Introductions by Emma Smith 'Not for an age but for all time.' So Ben Jonson established what we now take for granted: Shakespeare's unique place among the world's great authors. Romeo and Juliet shows us the archetypal story of fated young love; Hamlet, the tortured psyche of the young prince of Denmark; Othello, a strikingly modern representation of racial difference; King Lear, a man stripped of all material and psychological comforts; and Macbeth, a dark investigation of the origins and effects of, evil. The plays throw a fascinating light on the concerns of Shakespeare's day, yet offer perennial insights into the nature of human emotion.

　　Cook's three voyages of discovery, which tookplace between 1768 and 1779, are among the most remarkableachievements in the history of exploration.

With crews containing gifted sailorsand navigators, as well as botanists, painters and scientists, Cookprovides the link between the speculative, profit-hungry voyages ofthe Elizabethan seafarers and the scientific expeditions of thenineteenth and twentieth centuries.

作者简介：
　　Marco Polo was born in 1254, joining his father on a journey to China in 1271. He spent the next twenty years travelling in the service of Kubilai Khan. There is evidence that Marco travelled extensively in the Mongol Empire and it is fairly certain he visted India. He wrote the travels whilst a prisoner in Genoa. Ronald Latham has published widely on Medieval studies. He died in 1992.
