我敢于尝试写回忆录,是因为我意识到自己在冥冥之中得到幸运女神的眷顾。幸运女神让我能亲历这20世纪中最关键的历史事件。幸运女神让我能走出大萧条、病痛以及战火的魔魇,让我体味到新闻工作的愉悦。该书的名字叫做《最危险的总编辑》/《美好人生》,一方面是因为我的人生亦如此;另一方面是因为当我搜索枯肠而找不到一个好书名的时候,戴维•哈博斯代姆不经意间说道:“你这辈子命不错,布莱得利。嘿,干吗不给这书起名就叫做《美好人生》呢?”我仔细想了又想我这一生中运气有多么重要,最后我得出这样一个结论:我是个十足的幸运儿。我战胜了小儿麻痹症。我从三年的太平洋海战中活了下来,我所在的驱逐舰从瓜达尔卡纳尔岛转战日本。我在《华盛顿邮报》找到了工作,在那之前我恰好错过《巴尔的摩太阳报》的面试,理由很简单,因为当时雨下得太大,我所乘坐的火车没能在巴尔的摩靠站。我在乔治城买了房子,没过几个月,肯尼...

A Waif of the Plainsby Bret HarteCHAPTER IA long level of dull gray that further away became a faint blue,with here and there darker patches that looked like water. Attimes an open space, blackened and burnt in an irregular circle,with a shred of newspaper, an old rag, or broken tin can lying inthe ashes. Beyond these always a low dark line that seemed to sinkinto the ground at night, and rose again in the morning with thefirst light, but never otherwise changed its height and distance....
2005年9月14日上午10:00,出版人精心打造得本届书会重量级图书《我是一名华裔美国士兵》在书会现场——京丰宾馆东大会议厅举办了新书发布会。新华社著名记者唐师曾应邀出席了此次发布会。与会的还有时事出版社社长周勇、该书策划人之一邓占平以及经销商代表、读者代表、新闻媒体等近百人。 今年是个特殊的年份,各种媒体都在竞相回顾60年前的那场战争。历史用它血淋淋的事实,控诉着战争带给人类的灾难。但是,仅仅停留在对历史的义愤和纪念之中,并不是对战争最好的诠释。我们不能遗忘战争,因为遗忘意味着对历史的背叛,但是我们需要用最平实的心态来阅读战争,只有那样我们才能更好的感悟和平! 《我是一名华裔美国士兵》的作者正是通过他平实的记述,把一个现代版战争中普通士兵的心态,真实的呈现在了读者的面前。据出版人介绍,作者usdark在伊拉克累计服役八个月后,于回国休假期间,在泡泡网上发表了这篇原创文章...

Michael, Brother of Jerryby Jack LondonFOREWORDVery early in my life, possibly because of the insatiable curiosity that was born in me, I came to dislike the performances of trained animals. It was my curiosity that spoiled for me this form of amusement, for I was led to seek behind the performance in order to learn how the performance was achieved. And what I found behind the brave show and glitter of performance was not nice. It was a body of cruelty so horrible that I am confident no norm

Roundabout to Bostonby William Dean HowellsDuring the four years of my life in Venice the literary intention waspresent with me at all times and in all places. I wrote many things inverse, which I sent to the magazines in every part of the English-speaking world, but they came unerringly back to me, except in threeinstances only, when they were kept by the editors who finally printedthem. One of these pieces was published in the Atlantic Monthly; anotherin Harpers Magazine; the third was got
