Betty Zaneby Zane GreyTO THE BETTY ZANE CHAPTER OF THE DAUGHTERS OF THE REVOLUTION THIS BOOK IS RESPECTFULLY DEDICATED BY THE AUTHORNOTEIn a quiet corner of the stately little city of Wheeling, West Va., stands a monument on which is inscribed:"By authority of the State of West Virginia to commemorate the siege of Fort Henry, Sept 11, 1782, the last battle of the American Revolution, this tablet is here placed."Had it not been for the heroism of a girl the foregoing inscription would never have
The Chaperonby Henry JamesCHAPTER I.An old lady, in a high drawing-room, had had her chair moved close tothe fire, where she sat knitting and warming her knees. She wasdressed in deep mourning; her face had a faded nobleness, tempered,however, by the somewhat illiberal compression assumed by her lips inobedience to something that was passing in her mind. She was farfrom the lamp, but though her eyes were fixed upon her active needlesshe was not looking at them. What she really saw was quite
推荐以下书目,纯粹是从做人做事的角度考量,也应公司工作和鼓励年轻人之需,绝无评判优劣高下之意。此外还列了一个备选书目,计82种,以弥补12种之不足。中国有600万推销大军,提高他们的整体素质是一件重要的事。除了企业与社会的支持外,全靠他们自己。每天读一点书,长期坚持,自然能结硕果。书目选择未必恰当,恳请各方谅解。 1戴尔·卡耐基成功学名著(戴尔·卡耐基著)戴尔·卡耐基,美国著名的人际关系学大师和成功学大师,与他同时代的很多著名人物都是他的朋友。他总结自己的人生经验,写成著作若干,讨论人际关系的本性,很适合年轻人阅读,一直都很畅销,甚至被誉为销量仅次于《圣经》。他的道理大都浅显,比如“多鼓励,少批评”“做手边清楚的事,不要去看远处模糊的”“处处受欢迎的秘诀”……。非常有益,也简单,但常常被忘记。(中国长安出版社有书)...
The Unknown Guestby Maurice MaeterlinckTranslated by Alexander Teixeira de MattosINTRODUCTION1My Essay on Death[1] led me to make a conscientious enquiry into the present position of the great mystery, an enquiry which I have endeavoured to render as complete as possible. I had hoped that a single volume would be able to contain the result of these investigations, which, I may say at once, will teach nothing to those who have been over the same ground and which have nothing to recommend them ex
叙 由来词客,雅爱传奇;不是痴人,偏工说梦。卖不去一肚皮诗云子曰,何妨别显神通;听将来满耳朵俚谚村谣,只和合同鬼诨。何况悠悠碧落,蚁自聚于槐柯;浩浩黄舆,鹿且埋于蕉下。 将廿一史掀翻,细数芝麻账目;直把十三经搁起,寻思橄榄甜头。颠倒着即色即空之公案,描摩就忽啼忽笑之情形。 且也,证明因果,石自能言;打破横关,草堪蠲怨。去年人面,休烦崔护题诗;再世婚姻,仍遣韦皋作婿。飞枕边之蝴蝶,创开百代勋猷;携篮内之樱桃,幻作一场富贵。胡天胡帝,要须在无何有之乡;如云如荼,不过比将毋同之例。贾原是假,甄亦非真。曾参何处杀人,问去不声冤屈;郑綮今朝作相,算来好象应该。彻犀角之七层,弯弓妙手;贯明珠之九曲,穿缕精心。悲欢离合,通呼吸于鼻孔之间;将相王侯,看安排于手掌之上。纵使爱眠宰我,会心处不觉伸腰;便令不笑包公,得意时也劳捧腹。...
《陷落异星》作者:蓝色天体陷落异星 楔子犹如风车叶轮般的耀眼悬臂里汇集了数量庞大的恒星。这是银河系四大悬臂之一的边缘。这个不起眼的星系里早已进化出智能生物创造的文明。他们称自己所在的星系为普休系。普休系,有13颗行星围绕着炽燃的太阳飞行。接近太阳的第5颗行星是这个星系文明的发祥地。如今这个文明已经裂变为三大阵营。在更远离太阳的位置上,第7颗名为津卡玛的行星上,已经感受不到多少太阳的热量了。厚重阴冷的天幕下,波涛汹涌的深色海洋覆盖着行星的大部分表面。荒凉的大陆和岛屿上罕见人迹。津卡玛近卫军第12特勤队的舰艇停泊在凄冷的海面上。在舰队前方正北位置上是神秘的撒根岛。这个小岛在上亿年里向北极方向漂移了不少。在岛的中央,有一个巨大而古老的环状结构。伴随着低沉隆隆的响声,它正在发光发热。...

[译自《关于在绘画和雕刻艺术里模仿希腊作品的一些意见》]希腊艺术杰作的一般特征是一种高贵的单纯和一种静穆的伟大,既在姿态上,也在表情里。就像海的深处永远停留在静寂里,不管它的表面多么狂涛汹涌,在希腊人的造像里那表情展示一个伟大的沉静的灵魂,尽管是处在一切激情里面。在极端强烈的痛苦里,这种心灵描绘在拉奥孔拉奥孔,古代特洛伊城阿波罗神庙祭师,因警告国人勿受希腊联军木马计的欺骗,被袒护敌方的神灵遣派二巨蟒将父子三人扼死。著名雕像群是公元前50年左右的创作。的脸上,并且不单是在脸上。在一切肌肉和筋络所展现的痛苦,不用向脸上和其他部分去看,仅仅看到那因痛苦而向内里收缩着的下半身,我们几乎会在自己身上感觉着。然而这痛苦,我说,并不曾在脸上和姿态上用愤激表示出来。他没有像维吉尔在他的《拉奥孔》(诗)里维吉尔,公元前1世纪罗马著名诗人,史诗《爱耐伊斯》(Aneis)中曾写拉阿孔。所歌咏...
