老殘遊記

《老殘遊記》與《官場現形記》，《二十年目睹之怪現狀》和《孽海花》合稱為清末四大譴責小說，署名鴻都百鍊生（又作洪都百鍊生）作，清代劉鶚（1857年—1909年）著，共有正編20回，續集9回，外編殘稿1卷，敘述江湖醫生老殘在遊歷所見所聞所為，文筆生動，大受好評。本作也是劉鶚唯一的小說作品。

《老殘遊記》裡最擅長描寫風景的功夫，受到胡適的讚賞，「《老殘遊記》最擅長的是描寫的技術，無論寫人寫景，作者都不肯用套語爛調，總想鎔鑄新詞，作實地的描畫。望這點上，這部書可算是前無古人了。」

《老殘遊記》被譽為中國第一部政治小說，也是晚清小說中最有價值的一部。作者劉鶚藉書中主角老殘的遊歷，來抒發一己之思想襟懷，對當時政治黑暗、國勢危急，表達深切不滿與焦慮，並對善良百姓寄予無限同情。在文學表現方面，則能突破舊有傳統，運用清新的散文筆法，無論狀人寫景或敘事，寫來都能引人入勝。其中如第二回的「王小玉說書」一段，歷來不知已被多少國文教材選為範文，其文學成就，於此也可想見一斑。
