　　Its 4,215 pages are split over seven volumes, but In Search of Lost Time counts as one novel. Proust started writing it in 1909, and was still working on until he fell ill for the final time, weeks before his death in November 1922. Although the sprawling novel continued to be published five years after his death, Proust raised the funds to publish the first part of it himself in 1913.

　　Mitchell hated fame and declared that she would not write another word as long as she lived. She died in a road accident in 1949. In 1995, an unpublished manuscript she had written as a teenager was discovered. It was published the following year as Lost Laysen, a romantic novella set in the South Pacific。

　　5. Boris Pasternak - Dr Zhivago (1957)

　　虽然帕斯捷尔纳克是一个著名的诗人，但他曾出版过唯一的一部小说《日瓦戈医生》。小说手稿是在被私运出苏联之后才在意大利出版的。1958年帕斯捷尔纳克凭借这部小说获得诺贝尔文学奖，但苏联政府强迫他拒绝奖项，否则将对其施以放逐或监禁。当然并不是这场斗争导致帕斯捷尔纳克不再写小说的，而是两年后他因肺癌去世了。

The Catcher in the Rye《麦田里的守望者》

　　Although he wrote short stories and the novella Franny and Zooey, The Catcher in the Rye was Salinger's only novel. The author was believed to have retreated from society to spend his last half century as a hermit, until letters published in January this year revealed that he had been travelling the world, visiting West End shows and popping into Burger King, all the while happily chatting to strangers who had no idea who he was。

Gone With The Wind 《乱世佳人》

　　While Pasternak was an acclaimed poet, he only published one novel: Dr Zhivago. The controversial tome struggled to get published because of Pasternak's controversial attitude to socialism in soviet Russia. The manuscript was smuggled out of Russia before being published in Italy. When the novel won Pasternak the Nobel Prize in 1958, he was forced to turn it down by the Soviet authorities - or else face exile or prison. However, it was not this strife which meant Pasternak never published another novel, but the fact he died two years later from lung cancer。

　　2.奥斯卡·王尔德--《道林·格雷的画像》(1980)

　　4. 艾米莉·勃朗特--《呼啸山庄》(1847)

　　虽然4215页的长度被分成七卷，但《追忆似水年华》只是一部小说。普鲁斯特于1909年开始创作，直到1922年11月因病去世前的那段时间依然在写作。1913年普鲁斯特自己筹钱发表了小说的第一部分，他去世之后，这部小说又接连发表了五年的时间。

　　English novellist Sewell wrote the equine children's classic in the last years of her life while she confined to bed by ill health. There she worked on it for seven years, finally being published six months before she died - just long enough for her to witness its instant early success。

　　虽然也会写短篇故事如《弗兰妮与卓埃》，但《麦田里的守望者》是塞林格唯一的一部小说。据说这位作家的后半生远离社会纷扰、做了一名隐士，但今年一月发表的信件表明他曾经周游世界，观看过伦敦西区剧院的演出，也匆匆走进过汉堡王快餐店，跟不认识自己的人一起愉快地聊天。

　　米切尔是个不喜名誉的人，她宣称在有生之年不再写任何东西。1949年她死于一场车祸。1995年，她写于青少年时期的一份未经发表的手稿被发现，次年这部描写南天平洋一个小岛上的爱情故事的名为《失去的莱松岛》的短片故事被发表。

　　While Wilde built a career of writing poetry and plays, his arguably most controversial work was his only published novel. At the end of the 19th century its narrative of obsession, murder and hedonism offended Victorian society, with critics dubbing The Picture of Dorian Grey everything from "effeminate" to "unclean". Perhaps it rubbed off: Wilde never wrote another novel again。
