一个绅士作者:[ 中] 程小青我在结婚以后,同佩芹作过一度环游东南名胜的新婚旅行,和霍桑隔离了好久。在这个当儿,霍桑虽单身独马,但他探案的任务仍继续不息,所以有许多案件,我都不曾亲身经历。这里所记的一篇就是他单独侦察的成绩之一。是他在事后告诉我的,故而记叙的体裁,也不能不变更一下子。一、掉换那位绅士模样的男子走到了远东旅社的转角,停了脚步,伸手在他的马褂袋中摸一摸,接着他的嘴唇微微地牵一牵,露出一种似笑非笑的表情。原来他的马褂袋中藏着一粒精圆的珍珠,足有黄豆般大,但是因着年代的关系,珠中所含的水分渐渐地枯涸,光泽便也暗淡了些。这粒珠子的价值,若和同样大小而光彩鲜艳的比较,自然也相差很远。...
漫说水浒 作者:孙勇进前言 “水”边话题,是在下这本小册子的开篇第一话题,这部分内容,也有人说可以统称为“水外线”。 “水外线”是个怪而有趣的词,是从“红外线”仿造而来的。 “红外线”也并不是物理学上的那个红外线,而是指《红楼梦》研究的一种路数。热闹非凡的红学研究大致可分两路,一路研究《红楼梦》本身的思想内容、艺术特色,这被称为“红内线”,还有一路,专门研究考证《红楼梦》的版本演变、作者曹雪芹的生平家世,这也就是“红外线”。 由此可知,“水外线”,就是要研究《水浒传》的版本问题、作者问题,还有好汉故事背后隐藏的历史。学者在这些方面的辛勤研究,并非可有可无,一般的读者,多了解一点这样的背景知识,对理解欣赏《水浒》,也应当会颇有助益吧。...

All Roads Lead to Calvaryby Jerome K. JeromeCHAPTER IShe had not meant to stay for the service. The door had stood invitingly open, and a glimpse of the interior had suggested to her the idea that it would make good copy. "Old London Churches: Their Social and Historical Associations." It would be easy to collect anecdotes of the famous people who had attended them. She might fix up a series for one of the religious papers. It promised quite exceptional material, this particular specimen,
