Lecture IIIKinship as the Basis of SocietyThe most recent researches into the primitive history ofsociety point to the conclusion that the earliest tie whichknitted men together in communities was Consanguinity or Kinship.The subject has been approached of late years from severaldifferent sides, and there has been much dispute as to what theprimitive blood-relationship implied, and how it arose; but there...
洪荒 第一节 在积雪成冰的公路上和老牛车一样蹒跚而进的长途客车在怨声四起的黎明,终于把车轮压上了有着塞上江南美誉的宁夏境内。 经过一夜提心掉胆的前进,开车的年轻司机终于在满车旅客的抱怨声里把车停了下来。几乎一夜都没停止过的埋怨和雪夜里如履薄冰的压力已经让他没有了爆发忍了一夜怒火的兴致。就那样半死不活的半躺在自己的座位上,用颤抖的手点了根烟,在更加四起的责怪声里透过烟雾茫然的看着车窗前望也望不到边的雪野发起呆来。 身后,他的副手和售票员还在嘶哑着声音和车上的顾客在对骂。他的头好疼,绷紧了一夜的神经让全身有了一种近乎崩溃的虚弱。按往常,从这里到达目的地银川,还有一半的路要走,可此刻的他,再也没有精力往前把车挪动哪怕是一步了。...
我与《新民晚报》“夜光杯”的缘分是从8年前开始的,就像我与上海的《收获》和《上海文学》这两份杂志的缘分一样,与上海的《新民晚报》也特别有缘,从1996年到2004年,这8年时间也正是我在文学上成长的8年,上海的这两份杂志和一张报纸,见证着我的成长,因此,我对上海这座城市永远地心存感激。今年,我的长篇新作《夜妆》的推出,再次掀起了文坛内外的巨大风波。在经历了成功与非议,盛赞与诽谤,快乐与不快之后,我变得愈加平和,更想回到一个宁静悠然的写作状态。散文是宁静的,质朴的,同时也是华丽的,超然的。这些在深夜写成的文字,似乎更符合我在文坛上提出的“让作家把姿态放低一点”的口号,我们不再为奖项而活着,不再为“炫技”、“耍酷”而活着,“作品是写给人看的”,但愿更多的作品能进入读者的视野,而不是只在圈内流传。...

《一个小人物的伟大历程》作者:释道儒君第一章:生命源泉与家谱 本故事主人公游东方这个名字,是他温文而雅、贤淑善良母亲的赐予。在那个主体命运充满悖论的年代,作为柔弱的个体生命,能够赋予她的爱子以平常普通的生命无疑该归属于母爱的伟大造化。能够再凭借自然伟力赋予爱子良好的遗传基因,并送给他一个颇具自然之灵、人文底蕴的名字,不仅是母亲所能给予他的母爱的全部,也差不多是他在童年、少年时代,从母亲身上所能索取到的堪称奢侈的恩赐。并不是他天生不想像正常孩子那样,从母亲身上索取普通的孩子都可拥有的母爱,而是因为母亲过早地丧失了能够给他以母爱的起码能力。想像正常孩子一样从母亲身上获得基本的母爱,对于他来说,无疑于是一种可望而不可及的伟大奢望。...
The Pupilby Henry JamesCHAPTER IThe poor young man hesitated and procrastinated: it cost him suchan effort to broach the subject of terms, to speak of money to aperson who spoke only of feelings and, as it were, of thearistocracy. Yet he was unwilling to take leave, treating hisengagement as settled, without some more conventional glance inthat direction than he could find an opening for in the manner ofthe large affable lady who sat there drawing a pair of soiled gants...

第十三章 重阳过后,天气转入秋凉。十月,南方也有霜降,冬天已经来临。 王映淮端着新沏的热茶,走进书房。 这四个多月来,钟离瑨与王溱经常在一起探讨学问,以文会友,十分投契,聊到兴起时,便免不了针砭时弊,借古论今。 “今日又有邸报,自入冬来,金兵已两次渡过黄河,又在频扰濒河州县了。”王溱将得知的消息即时转告时刻关注中原战事的妹婿。 “可叹中原大地,又要生灵涂炭了。”钟离瑨黯然道,“而北定中原,却不知何期?” 六月时,迫于金兵的严重威胁,赵构起用了深孚重望的李纲为相。李纲认为当务之急是料理两河,命张所为河北招抚使、傅亮为河东经制副使,对两河的义军进行联络整编,同时又命宗泽为开封留守,予以控驭。然而,李纲受主和派排挤,在位仅只75天。张所、傅亮也很快去职,抗金措施皆被废除,黄河以北,西至秦州,东至青州,全部落入金人之手。幸有宗泽仍留守东京,独当大敌,全力抵抗。...
