內(nèi)容介紹：
《五個(gè)罐子》是詹姆斯寫(xiě)的唯一一部小說(shuō)，他最著名的是他的鬼故事。這是一部奇特的超現(xiàn)實(shí)幻想小說(shuō)，顯然是寫(xiě)給兒童看的。敘述者在外出散步時(shí)，被一個(gè)偏僻的水池吸引，發(fā)現(xiàn)了一個(gè)從羅馬時(shí)代就被藏起來(lái)的小盒子。他逐漸學(xué)會(huì)了如何使用盒子里的東西，擊退了一連串的偷竊企圖，并意識(shí)到了一個(gè)隱藏在我們身邊的奇怪世界。
The Five Jars is the only novel written by James, who is best known for his ghost stories. It is a peculiarly surreal fantasy apparently written for children. While he is out walking, the narrator is drawn to a remote pool, and finds a small box that has been hidden since Roman times. He gradually learns how to use its contents, fighting off a series of attempts to steal it, and becomes aware of a strange world hidden from our own.
