中国文人园林：汉英对照
《中国文人园林》（汉英对照）是“博雅双语名家名作”系列图书之一，系由辑编“现代中国园林之父”陈从周先生关于中国传统园林的经典文章而成，其中包括奠定作者20世纪中国园林大家地位的《说园》五篇。本书深入浅出地展示了对园林史的研究，阐述了中国由来已久的精深造园史的特性，讲园林，但又超越造园本身，讲述了中国园林与中国诗文、绘画、书法、昆曲、建筑和居住者日常生活之间的微妙关系。书中作者化身儒雅的导游，引领读者或探寻幽深之处，或信步曲折水岸游廊，领略不同风景，一路走来逸闻趣事信手拈来，同时还不忘介绍选址、布局、借景、静观、动观等造园原则和技术细节。陈从周曾说：“东方文化当于园林求之。”本书理论联系实际，讲的是园林，实则处处体现中国传统文化，是中国传统文化和中国园林爱好者的必读之书。
