Some of you, I fear, may have smiled asyou noted my reiterated postponements. But now the hour has comewhen mysticism must be faced in good earnest, and those brokenthreads wound up together. One may say truly, I think, that...
by Ernest HemingwayFlyleaf:In 1937 Ernest Hemingway traveled to Spain to cover the civil war there for the North American Newspaper Alliance. Three years later he completed the greatest novel to emerge from "the good fight," _For Whom the Bell Tolls_. The story of Robert Jordan, a young American in the International Brigades attached to an antifascist guerilla unit in the mountains of Spain, it tells of loyalty and courage, love and defeat, and the tragic death of an ideal. In his portrayal o
二十年前,我在一家英国船舶公司做摄影师并因此得以周游世界,从那时起,异国旅行就实在让我着迷。我尤其渴望到那些在未来岁月中将成为新闻热点的国家去旅行,这会让你对你所读到的新闻更感兴趣。于是,在1989年我很兴奋能有机会同我二十岁的儿子一起到中国作了两个星期的旅行。我们从香港飞到北京,那些仰慕已久的风景名胜真是令人心旷神怡:天安门广场和毛主席纪念堂,紫禁城和长城。我们飞到西安看兵马俑,到桂林沿着美丽的漓江逆流而上。我们都觉得上海充满诱惑,因为正是在这里自由企业开始繁荣。中国正开始了它历史上充满迷人色彩的时代。尽管仍然在计划经济的严格控制之下,但是中央政府正在考虑向更为资本化社会演进的可能性。那里的人民同样令人着迷。变化正在孕育之中,尤其是上海。...

《天池传说》作者:紫朱砂[正文:第一章 横空出世]在古老的长白山区,流传着一个美丽的传说,那是一段跨越三界的情缘,一段可歌可泣的爱情……在长白山天池池底,孕育着七颗宝珠,名为仙玥神珠。它们吸取天地之灵气,享日月之精华,内含无尽的能量与灵力,被视为仙家瑰宝。仙玥神珠每五千年成体,每五千年被送到天庭供给玉皇大帝、王母娘娘、如来佛祖、观音大士等众仙家享用。又是一个五千年,采珠仙子奉命驾云来到天池采珠。她单手一挥,顿时内池内五光升腾,七颗仙玥神珠依次被一股巨气托出,再一一被收入采珠仙子的篮子里。除了一颗月白色的神珠外,其余六颗各个晶莹剔透、光润动人。这颗月白色的神珠没有光泽,是个尚未成熟的神珠。仙界有规定,如果池底的神珠有尚未成熟者,可继续留在池底孕育知道成熟。这颗神珠居于其他六颗神珠之下,灵气精华逊于一筹,因此它虽在池底生长了五千年,但实际内力不过三千年。这颗神珠讨厌呆...
