To The Last Manby Zane GreyFOREWORDIt was inevitable that in my efforts to write romantic history of thegreat West I should at length come to the story of a feud. For longI have steered clear of this rock. But at last I have reached it andmust go over it, driven by my desire to chronicle the stirring eventsof pioneer days.Even to-day it is not possible to travel into the remote corners ofthe West without seeing the lives of people still affected by a...
Herodiasby Gustave FlaubertCHAPTER IIn the eastern side of the Dead Sea rose the citadel of Machaerus. Itwas built upon a conical peak of basalt, and was surrounded by fourdeep valleys, one on each side, another in front, and the fourth inthe rear. At the base of the citadel, crowding against one another, agroup of houses stood within the circle of a wall, whose outlinesundulated with the unevenness of the soil. A zigzag road, cutting...

NOTES BY FLOOD AND FIELDPART IIN THE FIELDIt was near the close of an October day that I began to bedisagreeably conscious of the Sacramento Valley. I had been ridingsince sunrise, and my course through the depressing monotony of thelong level landscape affected me more like a dull dyspeptic dreamthan a business journey, performed under that sincerest of naturalphenomenaa California sky.

The Pathfinder, or, The Inland Seaby James Fenimore CooperPREFACEThe plan of this tale suggested itself to the writer manyyears since, though the details are altogether of recent in-vention. The idea of associating seamen and savages inincidents that might be supposed characteristic of theGreat Lakes having been mentioned to a Publisher, thelatter obtained something like a pledge from the Authorto carry out the design at some future day, which pledgeis now tardily and imperfectly redeemed....

尽管巴夫勒尔历史悠久,但是,威廉公爵在进行他著名的诺曼征服的航行时,却没有选择这里作为登船地点。然而,巴夫勒尔港确实应该是一个很好的选择,因为早在维京人登陆欧洲大陆的时候,这里就是一个港口了。当年那支征服舰队的旗舰,也就是当时38岁的威廉公爵乘坐的船只“莫拉”号,就是出自巴夫勒尔的船坞,而且这艘旗舰的舵手,也是来自巴夫勒尔。 如今在镇中的圣尼古拉斯教堂的墙壁上,可以看到表现这些事件的浮雕。圣尼古拉斯教堂建于17世纪,用来替代原来那座建于11世纪的罗曼式教堂。教堂的四周是海军墓地,法国知名油画家保罗·布朗维安(Paul Blanvillain) 出生于巴夫勒尔,他的大部分作品都在描绘巴夫勒尔的美丽景色。人们把一艘三桅的捕鲸船供奉在教堂内,以纪念这位画家的诞辰。 威廉的成功征服使巴夫勒尔获益匪浅,因为它是离英格兰最近的有效港口。虽然瑟堡港距离苏格兰比巴夫勒尔可能会更近几英里,但是瑟...

什么是“右翼”?“右翼”连同“左翼”一词起源于18世纪末法国大革命时期,分别指坐在议院右侧议席上的具有保守倾向的人士(相对的是所谓有激进倾向的“左翼”)。也就是说,法国的“右翼”指的是议会中的由政治倾向不同而形成的政治势力或政治派别。到了19世纪后期20世纪初的西方国家,右翼、左翼的区分带有国际性,并具有强烈的意识形态的、“主义”的色彩。“右翼”倾向于国家主义、民族主义、资本主义,“左翼”强调阶级和阶级斗争,信仰共产主义、无产阶级国际主义,这是现代意义上的左翼和右翼的基本涵义。而到了当代,随着资本主义民主政治的成熟,人们常用“右派”一词来指称保守派、强硬派势力,而“右翼”的涵义也相应地发生了变化,“右翼”是“右派”中的极端者。这种界定尤其符合日本当代社会的情况。...
