人人必读的1000部小说之读者补遗：爱情小说编辑本段回目录
人人必读的1000部小说：读者推荐的爱情小说40部
朱利安·巴恩斯：在她遇见我之前（1982）
这部小说篇幅很短，读起来有些乱人心绪，但它是对极端的爱的绝妙招魂，有和《呼啸山庄》类似的爱慕、冷漠、绝望和迷恋，但却带着20世纪的新意。这一切都以一种令人震惊和残酷的方式结束。
海因里希·伯尔：早期的面包（1955）
没有一部小说能如此直接地切入战后德国的灵魂——有愤慨和遗憾，但仍不失乐观、爱和宽恕；还有他在一根接一根地吸着烟经历德国的“零时”余波的长征中遇见的每个人的英雄心态、心境、反应和性格的短暂交流。其完美程度使人产生质疑：小说是否有必要超过121页。
莱奥波尔多·阿拉斯：庭长夫人（1884-85）
这是19世纪小说的颠峰。它把三角恋爱和一个在想做的事与被迫装假之间挣扎的女人的令人震惊的心理肖像结合在一起。人们一直将它与《安娜·卡列尼娜》和《包法利夫人》进行对比，但《庭长夫人》的复杂性使那两部小说显得老套。
阿尔贝·科恩：老爷的情人（1968）
“爱情小说”部分没选这部小说——世界文学中最重要的书籍之一，英译本题为《她的情人》。这是一次对爱的最深刻的探索——从最初的相互吸引到因无聊或过分的热情而导致的毁灭。
查尔斯·狄更斯：大卫·科波菲尔（1849-50）
名单上已经有很多狄更斯的小说，但我认为《大卫·科波菲尔》应该有自己的位置。这是一本教我人是什么的书——在意想不到的地方发现美德（Micawber一家），在华丽包装下发现谎言（Steerforth） ，在虚情假意背后发现自私自利（Uriah Heep），我不知道人还会是什么。此外，它还是一个选错爱情的伟大故事。
海伦·邓摩：围城（2001）
在这部小说中，邓摩创作了一个令人完全信服的1941年（希特勒下令将城市包围，用饥饿迫使市民投降）的列宁格勒公民的记述。读者与苦难和人的生存意志面对面，强烈地意识到饥饿的残酷现实和极度的寒冷，但给人们留下的绝对意义是令人振奋的：爱、勇敢和自我牺牲的精神可以在最令人震惊和悲惨的情况下获胜。我想起这部小说就觉得骨头冷得发疼。
约翰·凡特：问尘情缘（1939）
约翰·凡特是被查尔斯·布可夫斯基（译注：美国当代较有影响的诗人和作家）称为“我的上帝”的作家，《问尘情缘》是被他列为“影响我一生的写作” 的小说。它像一部粗略的自传，描写了1930年代洛杉矶为生存而奋斗的作家Arturo Bandini和墨西哥人女招待Camilla Lopez之间的苦乐参半的关系。悲伤的结局使Bandini不论作为男人还是作家都趋于成熟。正是因为这本书及其他的许多小说，布可夫斯基如此评价凡特： “他的写作与他的为人完全一致：有力、得体、温暖。 ”
保罗·戈尔丁：毫无感觉（2004）
怎么能忘掉《毫无感觉》？这部勇敢、机智、令人心碎的小说（每一个章节都涉及到五感）将刺激你的每一根神经末梢。再现George、他的弟弟Kelly和Matthew的充满激情的生活，为失去的友谊和耗费的爱而苦闷。你绝对找不到另一本有这么惊心动魄的最后一章的书。
托马斯·哈代：一双蓝眼睛（1873）
哈代的另四部小说已被列入名单，而比它们更纯粹的爱情故事《一对蓝眼睛》却未在其中。这是一次对三角恋爱的深刻心理探索——女主人公Elfrede爱上一个人，后来又不爱他，转而爱上他的朋友。这是一部马塞尔·普鲁斯特很喜欢的小说，影响到《追忆似水年华》中对爱情心理的处理手法。
艾尔弗雷德·海斯：相爱（1953）
就像雷蒙德·卡佛的全盛时期一样，小说家兼编剧的艾尔弗雷德·海斯以简洁而诚实得令人发指的笔触论及人类的生存条件及其悲痛。《相爱》是海斯的第四部小说，随着故事的展开，你会有一种可怕的感觉——中年的主人公因爱上一个“存在于无他的世界”的年轻女孩而正在走向灾难。当竞争对手以粗暴求婚的百万富翁的形态出现时，这种局面的嘲讽崇高和痛苦无助之处发展到了几乎无法忍受的程度。这本书绝版多年，近日已再版发行。
派翠西娅·海史密斯：盐的代价（1952）
这个故事最初以假名发表，瑞普利系列小说使它黯然失色，讲述的是一次执念的女同性恋事件，其扣人心弦的程度不次于海史密斯众所公认的作品中的任何一部。一个年轻售货员和她在纽约百货公司接待的一位老年熟女之间的爱既犯了禁忌又有悖婚姻道德，但最终还是获得胜利。远离令人窒息的城市的戏剧性的长途旅行是一次渴望的心旅。
希莉·哈斯特维特：我所爱过的（2003）
《我所爱过的》是一个爱情和艺术的当代故事——男女之间、亲子之间、同性朋友之间的爱。这是一个复杂的故事，描写了一个艺术家的内心历程和他对艺术的承诺、他和在纽约的财产和金钱的关系。人物描写是如此地细致，忠诚、背叛和悲伤的描述是如此地富有智慧，以至于我看完这本书就觉得自己失去了朋友。
理查德·雷纳：云楼（2000）
每个人都必须读读《云楼》，因为它的摩天大楼象征着令人眩晕的、未受911玷污的人类愿望。它以1920年代纽约的爵士节拍和私酒眩晕的醉人地衬托出对艺术的完美和爱情的追求。
伯妮丝·鲁本斯：我写了封信给我的爱（1975）
Amy Evans一直长得很丑，憎恨她那体弱多病、带有“苍白丽质”和天使般坚忍的弟弟Stan。他们的父母去世后，只剩下五十好几的老处女Amy来照顾Stan。她决心摆脱单调和绝望的生活，就在当地报纸的分类栏中登了一条广告。当她收到回应时，她和Stan的生活就永远改变了。
鲁本斯的字里行间的紧张气氛和敏锐的心理洞察力会使你屏息凝神地随着故事从传统的开篇转换到对爱和依赖的超现实主义的悲观描绘。
麦克尔·萨德勒：苏娘 （1940）
这个以维多利亚时期伦敦的黑社会为背景的爱情故事于1944年拍了由Stewart Granger和James Mason主演的电影后，又由英国广播公司在20世纪70年代末拍成连续剧。这是一部动人的书，但现在已绝版——我认为这是不公平的。我希望有出版商让它重见天日。
紫式部：源氏物语（11世纪初）
写于近1000年前的这本书是正宗的和服扯裂手（译注：“正宗的”可能是相对于《艺妓》一书而言的）。它常被称为是世界上第一部心理小说，充满色情、阴谋和人身讹误。它描绘了华丽的源氏王子的诸多情爱，用幽会、婚姻和束着季节花的翌晨爱情诗勾画出平安时代日本的俏皮宫廷生活。作者的真实姓名不详，现在称为“紫式”——“源氏”塑造的他的理想女子。
维克托·什克洛夫斯基：动物园，或非关情书（1923）
1922年，俄罗斯形式主义批评家移居柏林，他在那里迷恋上Elsa Triolet，因而有了这部书信体小说。在书中被一字不差地再现自己的信件的Triolet坚持说：“不要给我写有关爱情的话语。”什克洛夫斯基采取他自己的使日常充满怪异的理论，给她写信探讨流亡、爱因斯坦的相对论、猴子、薄伽丘、内裤、如何握叉子、日本民间传说和对汽车的着迷等话题。当然，这些话题实际上都是有关爱情的。作为《尤利西斯》、《荒原》和普鲁斯特的《追忆似水年华》的同时期作品，它们是齐名的。
伊迪丝·坦伯顿：戈登（1966）
在伦敦，第二次世界大战余波未止之时，年轻女子Louisa偶然在酒吧里遇见一位年长的男子——精神病学家Richard Gordon，就此开始了一场由激烈性事占据中心地位、令人窒息的婚外情，并以悲剧收场。通过他们的破坏性关系的进展，坦伯顿展现了一次由听任摆布获得享受的心理阐释，提供了对于传统爱情故事的一种一反常规、启人深思的视角。这部小说在首次发行时被禁，于2001年以现在的版本出现——以Louisa为第一人称的叙事提供了一个因迷恋而受奴役的永恒鉴戒。
伊迪丝·沃顿：伊坦·弗洛美（1911）
《伊坦·弗洛美》没被列入清单是情有可原的，编选人也许在学生时代就对这种持续的苦难的常情故事逐渐产生出深切的厌恶感。Ethan，一个生活在凄凉景象中的孤独而沉思的人物，首先是因无爱的婚姻，尔后又因想摆脱这个婚姻的绝望企图而落得身败名裂。人的意志不断受挫，Ethan无法控制自己的命运。正是他那衰老而嫉妒的妻子最终掌握了权力，她的努力阻挠了Ethan的情事。《伊坦·弗洛美》以其结局的残酷和无望而著称，不允许爱情的调和和救赎的力量发挥作用。
桑顿·怀尔德：圣路易斯雷的大桥（1927）
这是一部关于爱情和命运的优美小说，故事围绕1714年发生在秘鲁的降临到5个人物身上的事故展开。追求优美的文学大师怀尔德编造出一种对生活的沉思： “连接生与死之地的桥梁是爱，只有爱得以免于死灭，只有爱具有意义。”
