THE SON OF TARZANby Edgar Rice BurroughsTO HULBERT BURROUGHSChapter 1The long boat of the Marjorie W. was floating down the broad Ugambi with ebb tide and current. Her crew were lazily enjoying this respite from the arduous labor of rowing up stream. Three miles below them lay the Marjorie W. herself, quite ready to sail so soon as they should have clambered aboard and swung the long boat to its davits. Presently the attention of every man was drawn from his dreaming or his gossiping to the

追求一个境界(代序)——谈梁衡的散文最近几年,我在几篇谈散文的文章中,提出了一个看法:在中国散文坛上有两个流派。一个流派主张(或许是大声地主张),散文之妙就在一个“散”字上,信笔写来,松松散散,随随便便,用不着讲什么结构,什么布局,我姑且称此派为“松散派”。另一个是正相反,他们的写作讲究谋篇布局,炼字铸句,我借用杜甫的一句话:“意匠惨淡经营中”,称此派为“经营派”,都是杜撰的名词。我还指出,在中国文学史上,散文大家的传世名篇无一不是惨淡经营的结果。我窃附于“经营派”。我认为,梁衡也属于“经营派”,而且他的“经营”无论思想内容还是艺术表现都非同寻常。即以他的写人物的散文来说,一般都认为,写人物能写到形似,已属不易,而能写到神似者则不啻为上乘。可是梁衡却不以神似为满足,他追求一种更高的水平,异常执着地追求。但是他追求什么呢?我想了好久,也想不出一个恰当的名词。我曾想...

Bird (Mrs. Bishop)PREFACEIn presenting to the public the last installment of my travels in theFar East, in 1879, I desire to offer, both to my readers and critics, mygrateful acknowledgments for the kindness with which my letters fromJapan were received, and to ask for an equally kind and lenient estimateof my present volume, which has been prepared for publication under theheavy shadow of the loss of the beloved and only sister to whom th
《人间兵器》 作者:死神XIII 出版社:冒险者 第一集 第一组曲 重生 上半幕 故事背景 现今世界的军事实力分布基本上已经出现微妙的平衡,各种和平条约将武器扩张遏制在控制之内。大范围的和平已经来到了这个世界,尽管局部的小规模冲突从来没有间断过。 这是个和平的世界,这是个经济繁荣的世界,这是个科技发展速度比过去的十个世纪更快的世界。 和平对于野心家来说却是无法呼吸的空气,这种平衡的打破对他们来说是必须的。科技在发展,新武器的研究也从来也没有停止过。 然而,武器的发展却远没有想象中的简单,由于武器的最终目的是破坏,所以武器的形式也就很大程度上被这个目标限定。而传统的武器形式大都已经被和平条约所限定,即使是在传统武器上发展起来的破坏力更强的武器也难逃条约的限制。...
第一节 众人抬轿节节高在金庸的武侠世界里,不乏让人咬牙切齿或者魂牵梦萦的女人,但是要说不太招人待见的女主角,或许黄蓉算得上一个。要说样貌出尘,气质如仙,她比不上那个带着病容不爱说话翻来覆去脑子里只有杨过两个字的小龙女,要说用情至深,爱入骨髓,她的排名一定在程灵素之后,说到慷慨激昂,爽利决断不让须眉,那个名字身世不详的胡一刀夫人要排第二,黄蓉也不好意思排第一。有人忍不住说了,老顽童天不怕地不怕,一见到智计无双的小黄蓉,就束手缚脚,两只手两只脚搞左右互博也得乖乖听这个女娃子的话,第三次华山论剑,还心甘情愿要推黄蓉作“中智”,可见黄蓉总还算有稍许可许之处吧。可惜啊,本来小黄蓉这份本事也的确是个好的,可惜金庸他老人家似乎也不待见黄蓉,到了神雕,非说黄蓉这点小聪明,其实是精明,远非高明啊。...
The Heroes, or Greek Fairy Tales For My Childrenby Charles KingsleyPREFACEMY DEAR CHILDREN,Some of you have heard already of the old Greeks; and all of you, as you grow up, will hear more and more of them. Those of you who are boys will, perhaps, spend a great deal of time in reading Greek books; and the girls, though they may not learn Greek, will be sure to come across a great many stories taken from Greek history, and to see, I may say every day, things which we should not have had if
The Caged Lionby Charlotte M. YongePREFACEWhen the venture has been made of dealing with historical events and characters, it always seems fair towards the reader to avow what liberties have been taken, and how much of the sketch is founded on history. In the present case, it is scarcely necessary to do more than refer to the almost unique relations that subsisted between Henry V. and his prisoner, James I. of Scotland; who lived with him throughout his reign on the terms of friend rather than
