On Books and the Housing of Themby William Ewart GladstoneIn the old age of his intellect (which atthis point seemed to taste a little ofdecrepitude), Strauss declared [1] that the doctrine ofimmortality has recently lost the assistanceof a passable argument, inasmuch as it hasbeen discovered that the stars are inhabited;for where, he asks, could room now be foundfor such a multitude of souls? Again, in viewof the current estimates of prospective...
The History of Samuel Titmarsh and The Great Hoggarty Diamondby William Makepeace ThackerayTHE GREAT HOGGARTY DIAMONDCHAPTER IGIVES AN ACCOUNT OF OUR VILLAGE AND THE FIRST GLIMPSE OF THEDIAMONDWhen I came up to town for my second year, my aunt Hoggarty made mea present of a diamond-pin; that is to say, it was not a diamond-pin then, but a large old-fashioned locket, of Dublin manufacturein the year 1795, which the late Mr. Hoggarty used to sport at the...
评论家雷达表示,作者的这部创作是带有文化哲学色彩的写作,它与社会学、生理学和精神分析理论有密切的血缘联系,属于智性的。该作除了思想观念上的大胆、出新,艺术感染力也足可称道。《幻爱》 总序雷达:批判与救赎(1)在大众文学流行的今天,已经越来越难辨清楚文学的真面目了。含金的文学越来越少,含泪的文学就更为稀有。用一些批评家的话说,痛苦的写作几乎绝迹了。这里所说的痛苦不仅仅指书写痛苦,还有写作与阅读中的痛苦体验与痛苦思考。相对来讲,痛苦的思考更为可贵。这种文学的精神在经典现实主义文学那里被表现得淋漓尽致,深入灵魂,可惜,在当代伪现实主义那里,你看到的只是对痛苦的描摹,却看不到对现实的思考、批判与救赎。我把这一现象总结为“当代作家缺乏精神资源”症候。也许这与知识结构与文化视野以及个体体验有关。值得庆幸的是,一些作家已经意识到了这一点,其中,被称为“问题作家”的徐兆寿便是其中...
I and My Chimneyby Herman MelvilleI and my chimney, two grey-headed old smokers, reside in thecountry. We are, I may say, old settlers here; particularly myold chimney, which settles more and more every day.Though I always say, I AND MY CHIMNEY, as Cardinal Wolsey used tosay, "I AND MY KING," yet this egotistic way of speaking, whereinI take precedence of my chimney, is hereby borne out by thefacts; in everything, except the above phrase, my chimney taking...
The Love Affairs Of A Bibliomaniacby Eugene FieldIntroductionThe determination to found a story or a series of sketches on the delights, adventures, and misadventures connected with bibliomania did not come impulsively to my brother. For many years, in short during the greater part of nearly a quarter of a century of journalistic work, he had celebrated in prose and verse, and always in his happiest and most delightful vein, the pleasures of book-hunting. Himself an indefatigable collector of
The Golden Chersonese and the Way Thitherby Isabella L. 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
像个女王那样端坐在椅子上,手边是一杯冒着热气的台湾珍珠奶茶,眼睛不假思索地飘荡在玻璃外的过道里,有什么风吹草动都可以看得清清楚楚。丫的,啥模样?帅得一塌糊涂还是平凡得扔进人堆里便找不出来?若是前者就太牛B了,绑在胳膊上多长脸啊,要的就是回头率,不当吃不当喝挣足眼球也行啊!生理和心理有一样得到满足便哦OK!要是后者,甭废话,拜拜,还不够浪费生命的呢,现在中国男女比例官方数据可是116:100,黑市数据150:100,起码有4000万至1亿男子汉找不到健康的生理发泄途径。市场经济下这么多人口供大于求,还不多挑挑拣拣,挑到手麻为止,拣到眼花为止。咱条件还不能降:车子,房子,票子,位置,孩子(省得生了),就圈在五子登科里吧。...
公元前二五六年,刚过白露便是一场森森霜雾,天气顿时冷了。霜降八月初,时令乖戾天下失序也。寻常庶民虽不谙此等天人玄机,却对年景冷暖看得一清二楚。十几年间大战连绵,天下疲软得失了大形,天道时令岂能不乱?先是燕齐六年苦战,两国同时衰败。紧跟着便是秦赵两强大鏊兵,长平血战赵国奄奄一息,战后秦国两次攻赵兵败,也是垂垂无力。倏忽之间,战国中期号称天下四强的秦赵齐燕一齐衰落,天下顿时没了光彩。大军对垒的广袤战场沉寂了,使节纵横的宽阔官道冷清了,逃穷避战的难民潮消失了,商旅交错人马喧嚣的关隘也萧疏了。人斗累了,天看累了,连大河南北莽莽丛林中的大象都蛰伏到山坳里去了。大国小国强国弱国,都在卸套老牛一般粗重地喘息着,连向夙敌嘶吼一声的力气都没有了。...
第一部分 第1节:自序芙蓉树下的礼物自序芙蓉树下的礼物小时候外婆院子里的芙蓉树,一直在记忆里陪伴温暖着我成长的岁月,那一树粉色的花朵如云霞般在弄堂的深处绽放,是迷人的风景,也是无尽的希望。蓦然回首,当年那个二十岁的自己依旧站在那里,洋溢着青春的笑颜,美好纯洁得不带一丝阴郁。一别经年,在现实社会里生活奔波,常常会有很多的困惑。人情凉薄得让心灵结冰,你不得不一点点暖过;爱情脆弱得让人失落,你不得不一遍遍来过;人性阴暗得让爱退缩到了角落,你不得不一次次挺过。生活越来越像一场假面舞会,盛大又冷漠,华丽又污浊,热情又虚伪。有多少人可以只爱它的盛大、华丽和热情,摒弃它的冷漠、污浊和虚伪?我们想脱俗却又纯粹不了,我们想呐喊却又张不开喉咙,我们想改变却又迈不开第一步。于是,痛苦遮去了阳光,眼泪淹没了希望,迷途的人很多很多。...
《游戏:血镇》作者:紫薇朱槿第一章开始黄云早上8点后就忙个不停,3台电脑中的两台游戏电脑已经连续开了48小时,没办法,有的网络游戏就是那么无聊,一些任务必须要在线超过多少小时才能启动或是完成,所以两台电脑中黄云的两个游戏角色,一个在打工,一个在挖矿。她检查了一下两台电脑,游戏里没有什么异常,于是打开了第三台电脑,这一台是专门做业务用的工作电脑,QQ上人头攒动,有人给她提供新的游戏内测账号,有人跟她要新游戏的游戏测评,还有人跟她催要游戏攻略,许许多多的琐碎工作,电子信箱里的信件也一样不少,除掉垃圾信件,其余的不是游戏业界新闻就是工作信函。黄云仿佛长了三头六臂,有条不紊地处理着这些令普通人咋舌和难解的工作。...
--《中国式商道》重要的是独立思考 鲁稚 立场决定方法。出发点错了,结果也不会正确。 小老板去听大老板传经,中国人去听外国人教训,如果真听进去了,把自己也当成了大老板,当成了老外,一招一式都跟着他来,那你一定是要吃亏的。太弱小的基础支撑不了庞大的建筑,血型不合是不能乱输血的。 中国有中国式特色,中国的生意人也要讲中国式商道。何谓中国特色?只可意会,不可言传。择其一二说之,就是中国的市场经济还不是很发达,中国的市场秩序还不是很健全,中国的商业文化还不是很成熟,中国的财富还不是很多,中国商人的日子还不是很好过。中国还是个发展中国家,严格说来,中国的企业,在规模和效益上,都还处在比较低的水平。但正因为它刚刚起步,所以问题虽多,但生命力顽强,有着无限的生机和希望。...
