Book description:
Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is a novel by Mark Twain, first published in England in December 1884 and in the United States in February 1885. Commonly named among the Great American Novels, the work is among the first in major American literature to be written in the vernacular, characterized by local color regionalism. It is told in the first person by Huckleberry "Huck" Finn, a friend of Tom Sawyer and narrator of two other Twain novels (Tom Sawyer Abroad and Tom Sawyer, Detective).

The book is noted for its colorful description of people and places along the Mississippi River. Satirizing a Southern antebellum society that had ceased to exist about twenty years before the work was published, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is an often scathing look at entrenched attitudes, particularly racism.

Perennially popular with readers, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn has also been the continued object of study by serious literary critics since its publication. It was criticized upon release because of its coarse language and became even more controversial in the 20th century because of its perceived use of racial stereotypes and because of its frequent use of the racial slur "nigger", despite strong arguments that the protagonist, and the tenor of the book, is in fact anti-racist.

Book description:
Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus is a novel written by Mary Shelley. Shelley started writing the story when she was eighteen, and the novel was published when she was twenty-one. The first edition was published anonymously in London in 1818. Shelley's name appears on the second edition, published in France. It is common to refer to the monster itself as "Frankenstein", but in the novel the monster is identified via words such as "monster", "fiend", "wretch", "vile insect", "daemon", and "it"; Shelley herself called it "Adam".

Through research it can be determined the many influences the author was under during the creation of the novel. She had traveled the region in which the story takes place, and the topics of galvanism and such other occult ideas were themes of conversation among her companions. The actual storyline took place from a dream. Mary Shelley was talking with her three other writers and they decided they would have a competition to see who could write the best horror story. After thinking for weeks about what her possible storyline could be Shelley dreamed about a scientist who created life and was horrified by what he created. Then "Frankenstein" was written. Frankenstein is infused with some elements of the Gothic novel and the Romantic movement and is also considered to be one of the earliest examples of science fiction. It was also a warning against the expansion of modern man in the Industrial Revolution, alluded to in the novel's subtitle, The Modern Prometheus. The story has had an influence across literature and popular culture and spawned a complete genre of horror stories and films. The novel is also partially based on Giovanni Aldini's electrical experiments on dead and (sometimes) living animals.

Book description:
Dracula is an 1897 novel by Irish author Bram Stoker, featuring as its primary antagonist the vampire Count Dracula. It was first published as a hardcover in 1897 by Archibald Constable and Co.

Dracula has been assigned to many literary genres including vampire literature, horror fiction, the gothic novel and invasion literature. Structurally it is an epistolary novel, that is, told as a series of letters, diary entries, ships' logs, etc. Literary critics have examined many themes in the novel, such as the role of women in Victorian culture, conventional and conservative sexuality, immigration, colonialism, postcolonialism and folklore. Although Stoker did not invent the vampire, the novel's influence on the popularity of vampires has been singularly responsible for many theatrical, film and television interpretations since its publication.

《西游记》是中国古典四大名著之一，由明代小说家吴承恩编撰而成。此书描写的是孙悟空、猪八戒、沙和尚保护唐僧西天取经、历经九九八十一难的传奇历险故事。《西游记》全书分为三大部分，前七回是全书之帽，一边安排孙悟空出场，交代清楚其出身、师承、能耐、性情；一边通过孙悟空在天、地、冥、水四境界穿越，描绘四境界风貌，建立一个三维四境界立体思维活动空间。八至十二回写唐僧出世、唐太宗入冥故事，交待去西天取经缘由。十三至一百回写孙悟空、猪八戒、沙和尚保护唐僧西天取经，沿途降妖伏魔，历经九九八十一难，到达西天，取得真经，修成正果的故事。以无量无数方便、种种因缘、譬喻言辞，释佛法渊博。
作者简介：
吴承恩(1501年—1582年) 字汝忠 号射阳山人，淮安府山阳县人（今江苏省淮安市楚州区），汉族，明代小说家。吴承恩大约40岁才补得一个岁贡生，到北京等待分配官职，没有被选上，由于老母家贫，去做了长兴县丞，终因受人诬告，两年后“拂袖而归”，晚年以卖文为生，在81岁左右时去世。吴承恩自幼喜欢读野言稗史，熟悉古代神话和民间传说。官场的失意，生活的困顿，使他加深了对封建科举制度、黑暗社会的认识，促使他运用志怪小说的形式来表达内心的不满和愤懑。他自言：“虽然吾书名为志怪，盖不专明鬼，实记人间变异，亦微有鉴戒寓焉。”
