1989年7月23号,在英国伦敦,一声婴孩嘹亮的啼哭向世人宣布一个魔法师的诞生。这就是丹尼尔·雷德克利弗,未来的哈利·波特,令全世界着迷且为之疯狂的魔法师。小丹尼尔眨着蓝色的眼睛,好奇地打量着这个世界。“这个世界是美丽的。”丹尼尔的父亲对流着口水的丹尼尔说道。丹尼尔似懂非懂地眨巴着眼睛,惹来周围的护士一阵笑声,糨褓之中的丹尼尔很活泼,他不像周围的小孩子那样吃了睡睡了吃,也很少啼哭,那时的丹尼尔已经懂得美丑了,每当有漂亮的护士走过,丹尼尔就伸出他肉乎乎的小手,口中发出含糊的咿呀声,仿佛在说“我喜欢你,你抱抱我啊。”假如漂亮的小护士抱起丹尼尔,他便咧开嘴,无声地笑了,护士如果太忙而没有时间理会他时,丹尼尔便露出沮丧的样子,垂头丧气地躺在那里,仿佛是一只很不开心的小乌龟,那样的神情常常是逗得护士们大笑不止。那段时间,丹尼尔成了医院的小天使,很多医生和护士都会来给他打个招呼,丹...
《三国演义》中吕布等人叛降行为 《三国演义》中的人物,论武艺吕布是公认的魁首,所谓“人中吕布,马中赤兔。”但吕布并没有因绝伦超群的武艺,再加上“器宇轩昂”的外貌,而赢得美誉。一部《三国》,对吕布几乎无人说一句好话,“勇而无谋”、“见利忘义”、“义薄之人”、“轻于去就,无义小人”、“三姓家奴”,是《三国》中的人物对吕布的定论,使其“人中吕布”形象荡然无存。今人著书立说,论及吕布也少褒词好语。现成一些好事之人更给他戴上“有奶便是娘的小人”的帽子。笔者认为《三国》圈子中的人,乃至之后的几百年间封建时代的人,不能超越时代评说吕布是很自然的。而今人也是那样仅把吕布看作一个一无是处应予彻底否定的人物,就不够公允,也忽略了吕布这一艺术典型所蕴含的特质意义。...
老百姓需要他们喜欢的书,他们喜欢了,书就畅销了。我敢断定:《射雕时代》就是这样一本畅销书。那么,畅销书应该具有什么样的品质呢?我想至少要具有四大素质。其四,人物要群众似曾相识。这一点特重要。你写的人物,老百姓全不认识、没见过,不关他的事,他为什么要看?老百姓不喜欢,书卖给谁呢?反过来,你书中的人物:有窝囊的像他的街坊王大爷,有蛮横的像他的领导张经理,有工作狂像他儿子的班主任李老师,甚至那个独身女人像他老婆的妹妹,那个刚下海的小子就像他自己……你看他想不想知道这些人物的命运和结局?这样的书他不买一本看看才怪呢!这大概是“文学就是人学”的魅力所在吧!作家庸人笔下的人物,我不敢说有多么深刻,但个个鲜活,都是咱身边似曾相识的人。经过作家的重塑,这些似曾相识的人更透亮了,有的惹人喜欢,有的招人痛恨,甚至有的催人泪下。...
寻找爱情 游干桂文嘱我写序,我实在有口难言,答应与不答应,都苦:一来我不是爱情专家,怕说出来的爱情心得很残缺;二来不知从何下笔,但与文熟识,她自称四月女巫,我自幼什么都不怕,就是怕女巫,只好胆怯从命了,即使多家出版社的书出版在即,等待最后定稿,也必须抽出空儿来。写什么?书, 文来写,我负责解构爱情。何谓爱情?哲学家赫兹说得好:爱情是心上的一个洞。这是妙解,说出爱情的精髓———喜与苦同在。洞的意思是聚宝盆,等待别人赐爱。爱情也是一门投资,要收获,便该有付出,少了关怀、聆听、柔情、体贴与尊重等,便嗅不出爱情的味道。爱情故事很容易使人想起梁思成,他与林徽音、徐志摩的关系,被传得沸沸扬扬,即使一再否认,但仍有人相信。徐志摩坠机死亡,林徽音的确哭得伤心,梁思成前往失事地点悼念志摩,顺便带回来一小片失事飞机的碎片,让林徽音藏着、记着。...

The Poet at the Breakfast Tableby Oliver Wendell HolmesPREFACE.In this, the third series of Breakfast-Table conversations, a slightdramatic background shows off a few talkers and writers, aided bycertain silent supernumeraries. The machinery is much like that ofthe two preceding series. Some of the characters must seem like oldacquaintances to those who have read the former papers. As I readthese over for the first time for a number of years, I notice one...
Down the Mother Lode - Pioneer Tales of CaliforniaBy Vivia HemphillForewordSo many inquiries have been made as to exactly where, and what is the "Mother Lode"!The geologist and the historian agree as to its location and composition, but the old miners and "sojourners" of the vanished golden era give strangely different versions of it. Some of these are here set down, if not all for your enlightenment at least, I hope, for your entertainment.That is, after all, the principal aim of these tales o
FAIRY TALES OF HANS CHRISTIAN ANDERSENWHAT THE MOON SAWby Hans Christian AndersenINTRODUCTIONINTRODUCTIONIT is a strange thing, when I feel most fervently and most deeply,my hands and my tongue seem alike tied, so that I cannot rightlydescribe or accurately portray the thoughts that are rising within me;and yet I am a painter; my eye tells me as much as that, and all my...
The Amateur Cracksmanby E. W. HornungTO A. C. D. THIS FORM OF FLATTERYTHE AMATEUR CRACKSMANTHE IDES OF MARCHIIt was half-past twelve when I returned to the Albany as a last desperate resort. The scene of my disaster was much as I had left it. The baccarat-counters still strewed the table, with the empty glasses and the loaded ash-trays. A window had been opened to let the smoke out, and was letting in the fog instead. Raffles himself had merely discarded his dining jacket for one of his inn
