In an age when deleted scenes from Adam Sandler movies are saved, it’s sobering to realize that some of the world’s greatest prose and poetry has gone missing. This witty, wry, and unique new book rectifies that wrong. Part detective story, part history lesson, part exposé, The Book of Lost Books is the first guide to literature’s what-ifs and never-weres.

In compulsively readable fashion, Stuart Kelly reveals details about tantalizing vanished works by the famous, the acclaimed, and the influential, from the time of cave drawings to the late twentieth century. Here are the true stories behind stories, poems, and plays that now exist only in imagination:

·Aristophanes’ Heracles, the Stage Manager was one of the playwright’s several spoofs that disappeared.

·Love’s Labours Won may have been a sequel to Shakespeare’s Love’s Labours Lost–or was it just an alternative title for The Taming of the Shrew?

·Jane Austen’s incomplete novel Sanditon, was a critique of hypochondriacs and cures started when the author was fatally ill.

·Nikolai Gogol burned the second half of Dead Souls after a religious conversion convinced him that literature was paganism.

·Some of the thousand pages of William Burroughs’s original Naked Lunch were stolen and sold on the street by Algerian street boys.

·Sylvia Plath’s widower, Ted Hughes, claimed that the 130 pages of her second novel, perhaps based on their marriage, were lost after her death.

Whether destroyed (Socrates’ versions of Aesop’s Fables), misplaced (Malcolm Lowry’s Ultramarine was pinched from his publisher’s car), interrupted by the author’s death (Robert Louis Stevenson’s Weir of Hermiston), or simply never begun (Vladimir Nabokov’s Speak, America, a second volume of his memoirs), these missing links create a history of literature for a parallel world. Civilized and satirical, erudite yet accessible, The Book of Lost Books is itself a find.

除了像小时候看动画杂志时一样觉得遥不可及 其他都实在是很完美 这样的书 会在你心灵深处给你撼动 或许 很久很久我都没有用过失落这个词了 或许 很久很久我都已经没有再为了失去的东西而感动了 或许 生活已经模糊了我们对于拥有的概念 或许 至少失落的书带给了我们...

当我们翻开庞杂的文学史,阅读着那些经典的小说和诗歌的时候,有没有想过其实可能有不少惊世之作我们已经永远没法读到了? 斯图尔特·凯利这本《失落的书》就给我们梳理了文学史上那些绝迹的书,这些书有被自然之力毁掉的,有拖延症没写出来的,也有写了之后自己烧了的.........
