Best books chosen by Pagan Kennedy
Pagan Kennedy is an all-round individual widely known for her work as an author, journalist, and speaker.
Below are the books she recommends offering hope and companionship in dark times.
Tunnel 29 by Helena Merriman (2021). In 1961, a wall went up around East Berlin in the middle of the
night, preventing almost everyone from fleeing. That step into fascism (法西斯主义) inspired a group of students
to engineer an escape route, digging a tunnel that snaked from a basement in East Berlin to freedom. Merriman has
reconstructed a lost history that unfolds like a heist movie (盗匪电影).
Giovanni’s Room by James Baldwin (1956). Baldwin tends to be remembered as an essayist and author of
The Fire Next Time. But if you’re exploring his work, consider starting with this novel, a page-turner about people
trying to live their truth in the 1950s.
Empire of Pain by Patrick Radden Keefe (2021). I was sucked into this book because I couldn’t look
away from its characters’ evil. In a lightning war of brilliant reporting, Keefe reveals how the most sinful members
of the Sackler family built a Big Pharma empire and pushed opiates (鸦片) into doctors’ offices and eventually the
streets.
The Handmaid’s Tale by Margaret Atwood (1985). Years ago, Atwood asked herself a question, “If you
wanted to seize power in the United States and set up a dictatorship, how would you go about it?” The 2017 TV
adaptation of this novel was excellent, but you should really hold the story in your hand and read it. After all, it
portrays a terrible society in which women have lost the right to even touch a book.
21.What is special about Tunnel 29 according to the text?
A．It was created by James Baldwin.
B．It is based on a true-life story of escape.
C．It was written to oppose fascism directly.D．It has been adapted into a popular movie.
22.What attracted Pagan Kennedy to Empire of Pain?
A．The evil figures within the narrative.
B．The author’s brilliant writing style.
C．The book’s focus on scientific innovation.
D．The exposure of the Sackler family’s business model,
23.Why does Pagan Kennedy suggest reading The Handmaid’s Tale?
A．Because its TV adaptation is not as good as the book.
B．Because it describes a unique power-seizing process in the US.
C．Because it helps people understand the current social situation better.
D．Because it shows a terrifying society where women’s rights are severely restricted.

For travelers taking the train from Stockholm to Abisko, there’s a shared goal—witnessing the Northern
Lights. Abisko, a small town about 150 miles north of the Arctic Circle, is one of Sweden’s northernmost
settlements and has some of the clearest skies in Europe, a golden ticket for those who are crazy about the Northern
Lights.

people, with a pink sunrise over snow plains and fir trees. At night you can spot the Milky Way and other dark sky
phenomena from your hotel window or head to remote areas of the village, such as Lake Torneträsk Pier.
The best way to see the lights may be on the return train to Stockholm. Barely 30 minutes have passed before
an announcement rings out over the train’s speakers: “If you look out of the right-hand windows, you’ll see a
wonderful show from the Northern Lights.” A number of tourists in the carriage rush to press their faces against the
windows and are treated to hours of recurring lights.
Norwegian railway service Vy runs a direct Stockholm-to-Abisko train daily, leaving at 6 p. m. and arriving
by 11 a. m. Single ticket options include a single seat($95), a berth(卧铺)in a six-person carriage($140), a berth in a
three-person carriage($170), a private second-class compartment(隔间)for groups of three($400), or a first-class
private compartment with a toilet and shower($600).
Vy offers bus or other travel alternatives if weather affects your trip. You will be traveling through some of
the toughest climates, so prepare for minor delays—it’s all part of the experience.
