我本是一个孤儿,一个没有出处的孤儿。身为中医的父亲直到临终前不久才告诉我:我是从水上漂来的。那天,他去冯庄看望一个因病卧床多年的老婆婆。他冒着雨去的,撑着一把油纸伞。雨已经下了三天三夜,像个永远止不住哭泣的泪泉,河里、池塘里、稻田里,到处都注满了水。他赶回家的时候,雨已经住了几个时辰了,只是间或还会飘下团团雨雾。他走近庄西头的龙坝沟,忽然发现那坝已然浸没在滔滔东流的黄水中。他只得脱了鞋拎在手中,又高高卷起裤腿,将伞夹到腋下,药箱斜挎在肩上(那里面有一块供把脉用的粗布的垫枕,还有一支毛笔,一个墨盒,几张黄色的处方纸)。那是他走惯了的坝,他知道会有些滑,便凭着感觉,用脚趾仔细扣摸着坝基,身体前倾,以抵御水流的冲击,一点点趟过河去。再有五六步差不多就要出水上岸了,但神使鬼差地,他会偏过头向右前方的河面上扫了一眼———一只小小的木脚盆打着旋向他急速漂来。他脚下一滑,不及...

不要把时间浪费在寻找隐藏着的奥秘上,或许原来本没有什么奥秘。——弗兰茨·卡夫卡欧洲首富诞生在矿工聚居区卡尔·阿尔布雷希特和特奥·阿尔布雷希特兄弟是欧洲首富,是最有钱的非美国人。据2002年的《福布斯》估测,阿尔布雷希特家族的财产达到270亿美元。阿尔布雷希特兄弟出生在埃森绍内贝克的一个贫穷的矿工聚居区。二战时,他们沦为战俘,1946年被释放回家,开了一家面积只有100平方米的小店。如今,年过八旬的兄弟俩所经营的阿尔迪,已属全世界最气派、最成功的连锁店之一。世界范围内最大的零售连锁店是年销售额达2 000亿欧元的沃尔玛,它的销售额是阿尔迪的6倍,阿尔迪的年销售额仅为330亿欧元。然而,阿尔迪是世界上最大的批发商,它每年购买的单件商品的总价值就超过3 000万欧元;相比之下,沃尔玛只有150万欧元,仅为阿尔迪的二十分之一。阿尔迪的身价甚至达到400亿欧元,比福布斯估测的要多出50%。这相当...
were clever and wise, but the third did not speak much, and wassimple, and was called the simpleton. When the king had become oldand weak, and was thinking of his end, he did not know which of hissons should inherit the kingdom after him. Then he said to them, goforth, and he who brings me the most beautiful carpet shall be kingafter my death.And that there should be no dispute amongst them, he took themoutside his castle, blew three feathers in the air, and said, youshall go as they fly.

AT THE SHRINE OF ST. WAGNERBayreuth, Aug. 2d, 1891It was at Nuremberg that we struck the inundation of music-mad strangers that was rolling down upon Bayreuth. It had beenlong since we had seen such multitudes of excited and strugglingpeople. It took a good half-hour to pack them and pair them intothe trainand it was the longest train we have yet seen inEurope. Nuremberg had been witnessing this sort of experience acouple of times a day for about two weeks. It gives one an...
理查德·福尔克 撰 大卫·雷·格里芬撰写了一部异乎寻常的著作。即使人们只以30%的宽容态度细心阅读它,它也几乎肯定能够改变我们理解方式,即改变我们理解有关处于政府最高发展阶段之上的美国立宪制民主的各种著述的方式。这样看来,这是一部令人不安的著作,因为它描述了一种深刻的、对于这个世界历史上最强有力的主权国家来说的政治合法性危机——此外,它 《新珍珠港》之所以如此与众不同的原因在于,它根据最充分的学术超然精神,并通过对最高尚的学者美德——这是一种意愿,即无论证据和原因之路把研究者引向何方,都乐于使自己的探究遵循这种道路——的、具有典范性的展示,探讨了一个最敏感、最富有争议的领域:与9.11悲剧相关的政府官员行为所具有的广阔场景。在这里,它使我们看到的是一些具有爆炸性的目标;在这里,作者提出了对于我们在政府的一些部门的领导权之健全性和世界观的极度怀疑——这些部门对这个国...

The Rivermanby Stewart Edward WhiteIThe time was the year 1872, and the place a bend in the river abovea long pond terminating in a dam. Beyond this dam, and on a flatlower than it, stood a two-story mill structure. Save for a small,stump-dotted clearing, and the road that led from it, all else wasforest. Here in the bottom-lands, following the course of thestream, the hardwoods grew dense, their uppermost branches just...
The Paths of Inland Commerce, A Chronicle of Trail, Road, and WaterwayBy Archer B. HulbertPREFACEIf the great American novel is ever written, I hazard the guess that its plot will be woven around the theme of American transportation, for that has been the vital factor in the national development of the United States. Every problem in the building of the Republic has been, in the last analysis, a problem in transportation. The author of such a novel will find a rich fund of material in the perpe
