The Yellow Godor An Idol of Africaby H. Rider HaggardCHAPTER ISAHARA LIMITEDSir Robert Aylward, Bart., M.P., sat in his office in the City ofLondon. It was a very magnificent office, quite one of the finest thatcould be found within half a mile of the Mansion House. Its exteriorwas built of Aberdeen granite, a material calculated to impress theprospective investor with a comfortable sense of security. Otherstucco, or even brick-built, offices might crumble and fall in anactual or a financial sense, but this rock-like edifice of granite,surmounted by a life-sized statue of Justice with her scales, admiredfrom either corner by pleasing effigies of Commerce and of Industry,would surely endure any shock. Earthquake could scarcely shake its...
Some Reminiscencesby Joseph ConradA Familiar Preface.As a general rule we do not want much encouragement to talk aboutourselves; yet this little book is the result of a friendlysuggestion, and even of a little friendly pressure. I defendedmyself with some spirit; but, with characteristic tenacity, thefriendly voice insisted: "You know, you really must."It was not an argument, but I submitted at once. If one must!. . .You perceive the force of a word. He who wants to persuadeshould put his trust, not in the right argument, but in the rightword. The power of sound has always been greater than the power...
《世界轻武器集锦》作者:木白冲锋枪是一种经济实用的单人近战武器,特别是轻型或微型冲锋枪由于火力猛烈、使用灵活,很适合于冲锋或反冲锋,以及丛林、战壕、城市巷战等短兵相接的战斗。因此,目前冲锋枪作为枪族中的重要成员之一,对于步兵、伞兵、侦察兵、边防部队及警卫部队等来说,仍然是一种不可缺少的个人自卫和战斗武器。早在1915年,为了适应第一次世界大战中阵地战的需要,意大利人B·A·列维里设计了一种发射9MM手枪弹的双管连发枪,从而奠定了现代冲锋枪的基础。1918年,德国人H·斯迈塞尔设计的第一支适于单兵使用的伯格曼MP18式9MM冲锋枪问世,同年,其改进型MP18I式冲锋枪正式装备德国陆军使用20-30年代是冲锋枪初步发展时期。在这一时期,许多国家对冲锋枪的战术作用认识不足,因而产品型号不多。有代表性的冲锋枪包括意大利的维拉· 佩罗萨和伯莱塔M1938A式,德国的伯格曼MP18I式和MP38式,西班牙的MX1935式和T·...
PREFACE TO THE FIRST CHEAP EDITION OF "AMERICAN NOTES"IT is nearly eight years since this book was first published. Ipresent it, unaltered, in the Cheap Edition; and such of myopinions as it expresses, are quite unaltered too.My readers have opportunities of judging for themselves whether theinfluences and tendencies which I distrust in America, have anyexistence not in my imagination. They can examine for themselveswhether there has been anything in the public career of thatcountry during these past eight years, or whether there is anythingin its present position, at home or abroad, which suggests thatthose influences and tendencies really do exist. As they find thefact, they will judge me. If they discern any evidences of wrong-...

讲述了两个青年男女,在北大荒恋爱、结婚又离婚的故事。尝试了有关潜意识、无意识、梦境、幻觉、隐喻、心理活动等多种写作方法,在张抗抗的创作之路上,具有里程碑的意义。 女主人公曾把自己关于真诚和正义的理想,寄予自己的恋人。但婚后的现实使她在极度的痛苦与迷惘中,对以往奉若神明的“真善美”和人性本质发出了诘问,终于认识到每一个人的体内都有另一个终身无法摆脱、令人恐惧和震颤的“隐形伴侣”。人只有承认自我意识中的所谓“恶”,才能驾驭并超越“恶”…… 对于今人来说,也许这仍然是一种无法和解、难以缓释的心理冲突。作家出版社 出版 作者:张抗抗/* 标题 */隐形伴侣/* 1 */ 《隐形伴侣》一(1) 太阳沉落之后,原野在那片黛紫色的云霭下耐心等待了许久。漫冈的草尖尖上,闪烁着阳光未曾燃烧净尽的火星子。那一整个夏天,夜都是来得这么磨磨蹭蹭。直到它终于将那些金灰色的萤火虫,一只只收进自己的黑...

Brother Jacobby George Eliot [Mary Anne Evans]CHAPTER IAmong the many fatalities attending the bloom of young desire, thatof blindly taking to the confectionery line has not, perhaps, beensufficiently considered. How is the son of a British yeoman, whohas been fed principally on salt pork and yeast dumplings, to knowthat there is satiety for the human stomach even in a paradise ofglass jars full of sugared almonds and pink lozenges, and that thetedium of life can reach a pitch where plum-buns at discretion ceaseto offer the slightest excitement? Or how, at the tender age when aconfectioner seems to him a very prince whom all the world mustenvywho breakfasts on macaroons, dines on meringues, sups on...

出版序 如果台湾没有李敖…… 何飞鹏 十几岁年轻的时候,没有机会认识李敖,只能偷偷地读他写的《传统下的独白》,感觉李敖似乎颠覆了所有学校中所受的教育。 那时候所知的李敖,是个一袭长袍、特立独行的台大学生,学问足以与大师胡适往来、论战,无疑是个梦中的未来英雄。 这个未来英雄,并没有按照我年轻时的想像,成为体制内认同的当代大师、思想家、文豪或者史学家(年轻的我,对体制有高度敬畏,当然李敖是体制外的英雄毋庸置疑),接下来只有断断续续的印象:与《文星》纠缠不断的官司,退出江湖卖牛肉面去,成为思想犯坐牢,出狱后复出江湖,与名女人胡茵梦结婚、离婚,继续放言高论,与当权者斗争,办《求是报》,以一人之力办报,其文字的产量,最令身为记者的我由衷佩服。 这些远观(无缘认识前)的片断,串成了对李敖的想像——-个当代具有“特...
燕双飞 BY:nuonuo序岁入寒冬,忽地一场瑞雪,纷纷扬扬下了几日,便使得满眼素白。雪光初霁,鬼府巍峨的屋宇耸立在雪光中,显得威严肃穆。南鬼府,北神宫,武林中人无人不知,谁人不晓。几百年来,鬼府神宫一直统御着南北武林,分庭对抗。而近些年来却是鬼府颇为引人注目。其一,话说十七年前,年届五旬的鬼府府主与天下第一美人联姻。老夫少妻,却因鬼府府主天纵英才,倒也是羡煞旁人的恩爱夫妻。只可惜红颜薄命,这天下第一美人在三年后因产子而逝,使人感慨。其二,便是这鬼府府主与这天下第一美人所生之子。传言鬼府少主容颜绝美,天下无双,纵然是其母再生也要逊上三分颜色,只是生来娇弱,怕也是红颜命薄。鬼府府主一世英雄,老来得子也免不了儿女情态。将这小娃儿视若掌上明珠,宠溺非常。这鬼府少主倒也非恃宠而骄之辈,聪敏过人不说,而且琴棋书画样样精通,文才风流,见者莫不心生喜爱,恨不得是自家孩儿。万般皆好,只是...
《原子弹的阴影》作者:伊恩·弗莱明第一章 “忙里偷闲”星期一清晨,帕克勒豪华公寓里。五月的细雨敲打着在窗户上,淅淅沥沥的雨声搅得詹姆斯·邦德心里郁闷不堪。这段时间他过得很窝火。工作枯燥乏味,不是在那堆讨厌的文件上划划数字,就是胡乱修改那些难处理的稿件,要不就是在电话上与那些毫不客气的部门官员争吵,然后愤愤地撂下电话。身体状况也不太好,头痛,恶心,关节僵硬。咳嗽时,他却更加猛烈地抽烟喝酒,于是便加倍地恶心头疼。邦德真盼望发生什么奇迹,否则他都快闷死了。邦德深深地叹了一口气,吞下了两片药。电话铃响了,洪亮的铃声表明电话是总部打来的。不一会儿,邦德忐忑不安来到了总部八楼M 局长的办公室。他拉出椅子,坐下来,看着局长那双冷静、清澈的灰色眼睛,希望能从中读出些什么来。“早上好,詹姆斯。对不起,大清早就把你叫起来,主要是想让你避开交通高峰期”局长声调平缓地说。...
