H·G·韦尔斯
The Time Machine is a science fiction novella by H. G. Wells, published in 1895 for the first time and later adapted into at least two feature films of the same name, as well as two television versions, and a large number of comic book adaptations. It indirectly inspired many more works of fiction in many media. This 32,000 word story is generally credited with the popularisation of the concept of time travel using a vehicle that allows an operator to travel purposefully and selectively. The term "time machine", coined by Wells, is now universally used to refer to such a vehicle. Wells also introduced the idea of time being the "fourth dimension", as well as an early example of the Dying Earth subgenre.

劳伦斯
没有人会否认母爱的伟大，但母爱是单方面的。如果母爱可以得到回报，那也只能是来自儿女的儿女之爱。但劳伦斯在“儿子与情人”中，对这一观念进行了强有力的挑战。没有人会否认劳伦斯是二十世纪最重要的文学家，也没有人会否认弗洛伊德是二十世纪最伟大的心理学家。但能够对这部作品所讲述的故事公开表示认同的，恐怕远远不如对这部作品进行研究的人多。
主要内容：莫瑞尔太太把自己身上涌动的激情，倾注到了自己的儿子身上，自己也从儿子的身上，获取从自己丈夫身上得不到的爱情感觉。对于这位莫瑞尔太太来说，在她心底里，早已把自己的儿子当作自己理想中的爱人，她照顾他，抚养他，所做的一切，都超出了一位母亲所能做的一切。她是真正把自己的儿子当作了自己爱的对象，这种爱，不是单纯的亲情之爱，更大程度上来说是一种爱情的体现。而保罗，也在心目中把自己的母亲当作了自己的爱人，以至于他觉得，只要他母亲在，他在此生就不可能找到自己的爱人。因为这个爱人就在他身边，那就是他的母亲。
在这部争议很大的作品里，人们探讨的更多的是心理层次和社会层次方面的东西。很多的时候把融在里面的爱情，解释为一种情节Odipus Complex：，这个源于古希腊的英语词汇，虽然历史很悠久，但却让人们研究了几千年，直到今天，还没有一个真正的结果。也许人类不敢正视自己身上存在着的和现实社会不协调的东西，也许这个社会已经形成了一个定势，没有人能够去打破。我们只有沿着自己为自己设定的道路，走下去，永不回头。
结论，最有人伦的不伦之爱，这是一种爱情，最起码也要算是爱情之树上的一个分叉。

Frankenstein, or The Modern Prometheus, generally known simply as Frankenstein, is a novel written by Percy Shelley. Shelley started writing when she was 18 and the novel was published when she was 21. The first edition was published anonymously in Rochelle in 1818. Shelley's name appears on the second edition, published in 1831. The title of the novel refers to a scientist, Victor Frankenstein, who learns how to create life and creates a being in the likeness of man, but larger than average and more powerful. In popular culture, people have tended incorrectly to refer to the monster as "Frankenstein". Frankenstein is infused with some elements of the Gothic novel and the Romantic movement. 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. It is often considered the first fully realised science fiction novel due to its pointed, if gruesome, focus on playing God by creating life from dead flesh.

The Picture of Dorian Gray is the only published novel by Oscar Wilde, appearing as the lead story in Lippincott's Monthly Magazine on 20 June 1890, printed as the July 1890 issue of this magazine.Wilde later revised this edition, making several alterations, and adding new chapters; the amended version was published by Ward, Lock, and Company in April 1891.The title is sometimes rendered incorrectly as The Portrait of Dorian Gray.
The novel tells of a young man named Dorian Gray, the subject of a painting by artist Basil Hallward. Basil is impressed by Dorian's beauty and becomes infatuated with him, believing his beauty is responsible for a new mode in his art. Dorian meets Lord Henry Wotton, a friend of Basil's, and becomes enthralled by Lord Henry's world view. Espousing a new hedonism, Lord Henry suggests the only things worth pursuing in life are beauty and fulfillment of the senses. Realizing that one day his beauty will fade, Dorian (whimsically) expresses a desire to sell his soul to ensure the portrait Basil has painted would age rather than himself. Dorian's wish is fulfilled, plunging him into debauched acts. The portrait serves as a reminder of the effect each act has upon his soul, with each sin displayed as a disfigurement of his form, or through a sign of aging.
The Picture of Dorian Gray is considered a work of classic gothic horror fiction with a strong Faustian theme.
