Adventureby Jack LondonCHAPTER ISOMETHING TO BE DONEHe was a very sick white man. He rode pick-a-back on a woolly- headed, black-skinned savage, the lobes of whose ears had been pierced and stretched until one had torn out, while the other carried a circular block of carved wood three inches in diameter. The torn ear had been pierced again, but this time not so ambitiously, for the hole accommodated no more than a short clay pipe. The man-horse was greasy and dirty, and naked save for an exce

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...
How To Tell Stories To Children And Some Stories To Tellby Sara Cone BryantConcerning the fundamental points of method in telling a story, I have little to add to the principles which I have already stated as necessary, in my opinion, in the book of which this is, in a way, the continuation. But in the two years which have passed since that book was written, I have had the happiness of working on stories and the telling of them, among teachers and students all over this country, and in that ex

My Discovery of Englandby Leacock, StephenIntroduction of Mr. Stephen Leacock Given by Sir Owen Seaman on the Occasion of His First Lecture in LondonLADIES AND GENTLEMEN: It is usual on these occasions for the chairman to begin something like this: "The lecturer, I am sure, needs no introduction from me." And indeed, when I have been the lecturer and somebody else has been the chairman, I have more than once suspected myself of being the better man of the two. Of course I hope I should always
