The Land of Footprintsby Stewart Edward WhiteI. ON BOOKS OF ADVENTUREBooks of sporting, travel, and adventure in countries little known to the average reader naturally fall in two classes-neither, with a very few exceptions, of great value. One class is perhaps the logical result of the other.Of the first type is the book that is written to make the most of far travels, to extract from adventure the last thrill, to impress the awestricken reader with a full sense of the danger and hardship the
Seven Discourses on Artby Sir Joshua ReynoldsINTRODUCTIONIt is a happy memory that associates the foundation of our Royal Academy with the delivery of these inaugural discourses by Sir Joshua Reynolds, on the opening of the schools, and at the first annual meetings for the distribution of its prizes. They laid down principles of art from the point of view of a man of genius who had made his power felt, and with the clear good sense which is the foundation of all work that looks upward and may

Essays on Paul Bourgetby Mark TwainCONTENTS:WHAT PAUL BOURGET THINKS OF USA LITTLE NOTE TO M. PAUL BOURGETWHAT PAUL BOURGET THINKS OF USHe reports the American joke correctly. In Boston they ask, How muchdoes he know? in New York, How much is he worth? in Philadelphia, Whowere his parents? And when an alien observer turns his telescope uponusadvertisedly in our own special interesta natural apprehensionmoves us to ask, What is the diameter of his reflector?...
The Man Who Was Thursdayby G. K. ChestertonA WILD, MAD, HILARIOUS AND PROFOUNDLY MOVING TALEIt is very difficult to classify THE MAN WHO WAS THURSDAY. It is possible to say that it is a gripping adventure story of murderous criminals and brilliant policemen; but it was to be expected that the author of the Father Brown stories should tell a detective story like no-one else. On this level, therefore, THE MAN WHO WAS THURSDAY succeeds superbly; if nothing else, it is a magnificent tour-de-force o

一 热狂 就在克洛德·弗罗洛的义子那样猛烈地把不幸的副主教用来束缚埃及姑娘,也束缚自己的命运死结斩断时,这位副主教已不在圣母院里了。一回到圣器室,他扯掉罩衣,法袍和襟带,统统扔到惊呆了的教堂执事手上,便从隐修院的偏门溜走,吩咐“滩地”的一个船工把他渡到塞纳河的左岸,钻进了大学城高低不平的街道上,不知道该往哪儿去,每走一步就遇到三五成群的男女。他们欢快地迈着大步向圣米歇尔桥跑去,巴望还赶得上观看绞死女巫。他脸无血色,魂不附体,比大白天被一群孩子放掉又追赶的一只夜鸟更慌乱,更盲目,更害怕。他不知道自己在哪儿,在想什么,是不是在做梦。他往前走,忽而慢步,忽而快跑,看见有路就走,根本不加选择,只不过老是觉得被河滩广场追赶着,模模糊糊地感到那可怕的广场就在他身后。...

笔走龙蛇若许年,非儒非道亦非仙,残生有幸皈恩马,壮岁无成愧班骞。三面图书一面字,半生颠沛半生安,春蚕虽老丝不断,枯柳千行亦飞棉。我撰写文史资料的时间很长,从1949年起,已开始为文白先生代笔写作《张治中回忆录》,历时十一年,三易其稿,拙文《十年耕砚倍辛酸》载《书林》1986年第10期,详记其事。其中有必要特别说明的是重庆谈判。重庆谈判不仅是中国现代史的一个重要事件,也是一个关键的历史转折点。国民党蒋介石的力量由强转弱,由大变小终至瓦解,最后总崩溃。中共则相反,由此而由弱变强,由小变大,终于获得全胜。其中《重庆谈判期间毛泽东活动大事记》曾刊登在中共中央党史研究室主编的《党史通讯》第85期上,材料比较详实完整。为什么能做到这地步,因为整个谈判过程,特别是毛主席的大量活动我都亲见、亲闻、亲历。...
第一部分笨蛋!淑女要和你同居(1)(图) 45 放学后,我穿过空空荡荡的操场,突然看到校门口围了一大群女生。 难道是商店在免费赠送化妆品吗?-_- 我加快步子走过去,如果是LANCOME之类的新品试用,错过可就有违作为女孩的本性了。 _ O_O!!! 贤成???? 我揉揉眼睛,没错,被那群女生包围在中间的人不是派送员——是贤成,看起来一副疲于应对的无奈表情,-_- 那些女生们还在那里叽叽喳喳地围住贤成不放。 “请问你是哪个星座的?”*o* “你在哪个学校上学啊?能告诉我们吗?”*o* “能不能把你的地址和电话号码告诉我啊?”*o* “帅哥,给我签个名吧。”*o* >o<;你们都走开!!贤成是我的! 我快步跑了过去,用游泳的姿势拨开人群,向我的王子游过去。 贤成也看到了我,用同样的方法从人群中挤了出来。 “快走了啦~!” 我们两个的手刚碰到一起,...
中国需要文化民族主义2004年01月12日 12:55凤凰卫视——世纪大讲堂王鲁湘:“问渠哪得清如许,为有源头活水来”。这里是“大红鹰·世纪大讲堂”,我是王鲁湘。最近这两年来,有一个概念非常盛行,叫做全球化。全球化的经济、全球化的政治。我们知道,全球化的政治我们有一个联合国,UN;全球化的经济,我们有一个WTO。那么,在全球化的经济和全球化的政治这样一种态势之下,有没有一个全球化的文化?面对全球化的这样一种经济、政治,甚至是文化,像我们中国这样的,过去有着几千年传统文化的这样一种地区应该怎么办?出现了各种各样的声音。其中,有复古主义的,有激进的、后现代的,有强烈的自由主义者,也有比较强烈的保守主义者,各种各样的思想,在这样一种全球化的背景之中都在进行交锋,进行各种各样的讨论和融合。那么在这个中间有一个人的声音显得很特别,这个人他旗帜鲜明地扛起了文化民族主义的大旗,他的观点引起了...
