SHERLOCK HOLMESTHE MUSGRAVE RITUALby Sir Arthur Conan DoyleAn anomaly which often struck me in the character of my friendSherlock Holmes was that, although in his methods of thought he wasthe neatest and most methodical of mankind, and although also heaffected a certain quiet primness of dress, he was nonetheless inhis personal habits one of the most untidy men that ever drove afellow-lodger to distraction. Not that I am in the least...
A Footnote to Historyby Robert Louis StevensonPREFACEAN affair which might be deemed worthy of a note of a few lines inany general history has been here expanded to the size of a volumeor large pamphlet. The smallness of the scale, and the singularityof the manners and events and many of the characters, considered,it is hoped that, in spite of its outlandish subject, the sketchmay find readers. It has been a task of difficulty. Speed was...
第一部分图尔(2)-(图)第一部分图尔(3)-(图)第一部分图尔:大教堂(图)第一部分图尔:圣马丁修道院(图) 我提到过的圣马丁教堂,这么多年来一直是图尔的圣地,当然是人们朝拜的圣殿。最初,它是那位杰出的使徒简陋的葬身之地。他生前是个杰出的传教士和创造奇迹的人,4世纪时他使高卢人信奉了基督教,现代人主要知道他是一个名人,曾在亚眠的城门口将自己的风衣撕成两半与一个乞丐共享(我认为传说并没有说他怎样处理另一半)。圣马丁修道院是在中世纪逐渐富裕强大起来的,它最后变成了基督教世界最豪华的教堂之一。它有国王作其名誉院长(他们有时将它当做己有,如像弗兰西斯一世),并搜刮了大批奇珍异宝。然而,它却饱经沧桑。9世纪它不幸遭受了诺曼人的洗劫,16世纪又受到胡格诺派教徒们的侵扰,大革命中更是遭受了致命的一击。大革命给它施加的破坏力一定跟它那巨大的躯体十分相称。到上世纪末,就只剩下了一大片废墟...

STORER CLOUSTONCOUNT BUNKERCHAPTER IIt is only with the politest affectation of interest, as a rule, that English Society learns the arrival in its midst of an ordinary Continental nobleman; but the announcement that the Baron Rudolph von Blitzenberg had been appointed attache to the Ger
La Mere Baucheby Anthony TrollopeThe Pyreneean valley in which the baths of Vernet are situated is notmuch known to English, or indeed to any travellers. Tourists insearch of good hotels and picturesque beauty combined, do notgenerally extend their journeys to the Eastern Pyrenees. They rarelyget beyond Luchon; and in this they are right, as they thus end theirperegrinations at the most lovely spot among these mountains, and areas a rule so deceived, imposed on, and bewildered by guides,...
卷三 近代哲学第一篇 从文艺复兴到西方哲学史第一章 总说- 通常谓之“近代”的这段历史时期,人的思想见解和中古时期的思想见解有许多不同。其中有两点最重要,即教会的威信衰落下去,科学的威信逐步上升。旁的分歧和这两点全有连带关系。近代的文化宁可说是一种世俗文化而不是僧侣文化。国家越来越代替教会成为支配文化的统治势力。各民族的统治大权最初大都归国王掌领;后来,如同在古希腊一样,国王逐渐被民主国家或僭主所代替。民族国家的力量,以及它所行使的职权,在整个这时期当中稳步发展,不断扩大(一些小波折不算);但是按大多情况讲,国家对哲学家的见解所起的影响总比不上中世纪时的教会。在阿尔卑斯山以北,一直到十五世纪向来能够和中央政权分庭抗礼的封建贵族,首先丧失了政治上的重要地位,后来又失掉了经济地位。...
The Beast in the Jungleby Henry JamesCHAPTER IWhat determined the speech that startled him in the course of their encounter scarcely matters, being probably but some words spoken by himself quite without intentionspoken as they lingered and slowly moved together after their renewal of acquaintance. He had been conveyed by friends an hour or two before to the house at which she was staying; the party of visitors at the other house, of whom he was one, and thanks to whom it was his theory, as al
