In short, the names of these novels may not be familiar to many readers in China, but that's because they were "influenced" by their predecessors, and the list of books they gave us was within the vision of that generation. They can only list the classic novels before19th century. In a sense, they are farther away from us. The following 100 list of English classic novels reflects the authoritative perspective and vision of contemporary westerners. It is true that this is only a classic novel in the English world, and it is definitely not worldwide. But now, isn't the whole people learning English together? In such a big environment, it is probably a very pleasant thing to choose a few English classic novels from this 100.
I deliberately spent some time listing the original names and authors of these 100 English classic novels, and translated all the titles into Chinese, mainly to provide some convenience for those who have no chance to read the original English novels. If there is an agreement, it will be handled according to the original. If not, just try to translate it directly. This is not available in many places on the internet when reporting this news, and it is also one of my characteristics.
In addition, look at your bookshelf and the following 100 novels. How many novels do you have? It can also explain from a certain angle how deep or shallow our understanding of modern and contemporary western literature is.
