詹姆斯·琼斯是美国第二次世界大战后出现的重要战争小说家之一。《从这里到永恒》是作者的处女作，“二战三部曲”中的第一部，被公认为是作者最优秀的作品。小说叙述了战前驻在夏威夷岛上一支美军部队的军营生活，日本偷袭珍珠港不久故事便结束，是一部不多见的有关和平时期美军士兵生活的写实小说。通过主人公普鲁伊特的“演变”过程，小说揭示了美军这个庞大机器内在的矛盾和冲突、士兵的忧虑、烦恼和恐惧，以及他们的反抗、挣扎和悲剧。

大卫·霍克尼或许是我们这个时代最被关注、最受欢迎的艺术家之一。他的作品几乎涵盖一切媒介，从油画、素描、舞台设计直到摄影和版画印刷。而且他在这些媒介上都有所拓展。他是畅销著作《隐秘的知识——重新发现西方绘画大师的失传技艺》的作者，该书同样由浙江人民美术出版社引进、出版。 马丁·盖福德是艺术评论家，《旁观者》的撰稿人。他曾以凡·高、康斯太布尔和米开朗琪罗为主题出版专著，受到好评。他曾与霍克尼合著谈艺录，此外他还与菲利佩·德·蒙泰贝洛合著游记以及谈话录，以上著作均由Thames & Hudson Ltd出版。
