The Man Who Was Thursdayby G. K. ChestertonA WILD, MAD, HILARIOUS AND PROFOUNDLY MOVING TALEIt is very difficult to classify THE MAN WHO WAS THURSDAY. It is possible to say that it is a gripping adventure story of murderous criminals and brilliant policemen; but it was to be expected that the author of the Father Brown stories should tell a detective story like no-one else. On this level, therefore, THE MAN WHO WAS THURSDAY succeeds superbly; if nothing else, it is a magnificent tour-de-force o

大杨庄是个大庄,杨姓是个大姓。自从老爷爷来到此地场扎根,如今已有五十四代传人。不论男女老少,大家全都亲切地称这位开宗先祖为老爷爷。湖里的干沟是老爷爷开的;西头的枯井是老爷爷打的;老爷爷种的大槐树空了心,里头可以躲四个藏猫猫的小孩儿。族谱的头一页上就记载着老爷爷的事迹。族谱是从第七代传人手里修的,那一年里出了一个人材。族谱代代相传,最后传到了老队长手里,老队长是第四十九代里最后一名传人了,两年前老队长退位给他的儿子杨绪国。可是大家依然叫他老队长。杨绪国,则被叫作小队长。 知识青年上山下乡的时候,大杨庄来了三名学生,全是女的。一个是上海来的,姓王,另两个是从县城街上来的,姓杨和姓李。姓王的学生是新调来的县长的熟人,来了之后就要揭阶级斗争的盖子,消灭封建宗法。串连几家外来小户暗暗地闹了一阵。后来被上面挑中做了知识青年积极分子代表,上省里开了会回来正遇上招工,就让县...

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。...
