3. JD Salinger - The Catcher in the Rye (1951)

　　3. 杰罗姆·大卫·塞林格--《麦田里的守望者》(1951)

　　Although he wrote short stories and the novella Franny and Zooey, The Catcher in the Rye was Salinger's only novel. The author was believed to have retreated from society to spend his last half century as a hermit, until letters published in January this year revealed that he had been travelling the world, visiting West End shows and popping into Burger King, all the while happily chatting to strangers who had no idea who he was.

　　虽然也会写短篇故事如《弗兰妮与卓埃》，但《麦田里的守望者》是塞林格唯一的一部小说。据说这位作家的后半生远离社会纷扰、做了一名隐士，但今年一月发表的信件表明他曾经周游世界，观看过伦敦西区剧院的演出，也匆匆走进过汉堡王快餐店，跟不认识自己的人一起愉快地聊天。

　　4. Emily Brontë - Wuthering Heights (1847)

　　4. 艾米莉·勃朗特--《呼啸山庄》(1847)

　　Brontë published her one and only novel under the pseudonym Ellis Bell. She died the following year, aged 30, from tuberculosis. In 1850, a new edition of Wuthering Heights was published with a preface written by her sister, Charlotte.

　　勃朗特以笔名埃利斯·贝尔出版了其唯一的一部小说，次年30岁的她死于肺结核。1850年，《呼啸山庄》再次出版，姐姐夏洛特为其撰写前言。
