鲁迅的小说作品集，共收入其1924年至1925年所作小说十一篇。首篇《祝福》写于1924年2月16日，末篇《离婚》写于1925年11月6日。整部小说集贯穿着对生活在封建势力重压下的农民及知识分子“哀其不幸，怒其不争”的关怀。《彷徨》仅存短小篇幅，却以一批个性独异、涵蕴深广的知识分子形象，准确地记录、描述了辛亥革命到新文化运动这一新旧交替历史年代中国社会各阶层知识分子的生活和思想，从而成为“中国现代小说的开端与成熟标志”。鲁迅笔下新一代知识分子的悲剧命运，恰恰充满荒诞意味和喜剧色彩——他们企图用“传统”培育的某些文化精神、思想信念来推翻整个传统，其勇猛和坚毅，终不能掩盖其幼稚与无力。
Kangaroo is an account of a visit to New South Wales by an English writer named Richard Lovat Somers and his German wife Harriet in the early 1920s. This appears to be semi-autobiographical, based on a three-month visit to Australia by Lawrence and his wife Frieda, in 1922. The novel includes a chapter ("Nightmare") describing the Somers' experiences in wartime St Ives, Cornwall, vivid descriptions of the Australian landscape, and Richard Somers' sceptical reflections on fringe politics in Sydney.
