The Masque of the Red Deathby Edgar Allan PoeThe "Red Death" had long devastated the country. Nopestilence had ever been so fatal, or so hideous. Blood was itsAvatar and its sealthe redness and the horror of blood. There weresharp pains, and sudden dizziness, and then profuse bleeding at thepores, with dissolution. The scarlet stains upon the body andespecially upon the face of the victim, were the pest ban whichshut him out from the aid and from the sympathy of his fellow-men.And the whole seizure, progress and termination of the disease,were the incidents of half an hour.But the Prince Prospero was happy and dauntless and sagacious.When his dominions were half depopulated, he summoned to his...

Dona PerectaBy Benito Perez GaldosTranslated by Mary J. SerranoINTRODUCTIONThe very acute and lively Spanish critic who signs himself Clarin, and is known personally as Don Leopoldo Alas, says the present Spanish novel has no yesterday, but only a day-before-yesterday. It does not derive from the romantic novel which immediately preceded that: the novel, large or little, as it was with Cervantes, Hurtado de Mendoza, Quevedo, and the masters of picaresque fiction.Clarin dates its renascence from the political revolution of 1868, which gave Spanish literature the freedom necessary to the fiction that studies to reflect modern life, actual ideas, and current aspirations; and though its authors were few at first, "they have never been adventurous spirits, friends of...
Masterman Readyby Captain Marryat( Frederick Marryat )Chapter IIt was in the month of October, 18, that the Pacific, a large ship, was running before a heavy gale of wind in the middle of the vast Atlantic Ocean. She had but little sail, for the wind was so strong, that the canvas would have been split into pieces by the furious blasts before which she was driven through the waves, which were very high, and following her almost as fast as she darted through their boiling waters; sometimes heaving up her stern and sinking her bows down so deep into the hollow of the sea, that it appeared as if she would have dived down underneath the waves; but she was a fine vessel, and the captain was a good seaman, who did what he considered best for the safety of his vessel, a...
1989年十二月底的傍晚，有一家人，八个，相跟着走向红房子西餐馆。 白天下了些雨，是上海冬天惯常下的那种不大不小的冻雨，这种雨一下起来，连绵不绝，可以十几天都不停。而这1989年的冬天，冻雨一天又一天，耐心地将整个城市都浇透了，到处都是无尽的阴冷和潮湿。下午五点钟，天就开始晦暗下来。到了傍晚，早早就黑了，满天见不到一粒星星。在长乐路，陕西路交界的街角，红房子西餐馆的门前，尽是在路灯下匆匆往家赶的人和车，行人们大多脸上带着点厌烦和抵触的样子，手里握着皱巴巴的湿伞，往家里走。 陕西路上的人行道也很窄，除了法国梧桐占了的位置，只有两三个人可以擦肩而过。行人们为了自己走得快，毫不在意自己撞到了别人的身体，拎包和别人牵在手里的小孩。小孩子告诉妈妈自己被那个人撞了脸，妈妈挑衅似地，冲着那人的背影尖声教育自己的孩子：“下次遇到这种人，就一脚踢过去！对这种人不要客气。”而那个撞了...
总 序自序1自序1总 序自序2自序2我的音乐往事我的日常生活也被音乐填满了：清晨起来第一件事就是打开唱片机听音乐——从莫扎特的《弦乐五重奏》听到吉内特·内沃(GinetteNeveu)演奏的“绝版”小提琴曲；上班上课时，脑子里除了教材之外还是音乐，有一次为中大建筑系的学生讲维也纳的建筑文化时,竟然从奥托·瓦格纳(OttoWagner)和阿尔道夫·路斯(AldolphLoos)设计的房子讲到理查德·斯特劳斯的歌剧《玫瑰骑士》；下班回家，吃完晚饭之后，又是听音乐——不是到香港文化中心或大会堂去听香港管弦乐团或香港小交响乐团的音乐会，就是在家中客厅边听边看各种音乐的声碟和影碟，从阿巴多（ClaudioAbbado）指挥的贝多芬和马勒到列文（JamesLevine）指挥的瓦格纳歌剧《特里斯坦和伊索尔德》，后者还是在晚饭前就开始听，一直听到老婆叫我上床睡觉。甚至在入梦之前脑海中涌现的还是瓦格纳或布鲁克纳的旋律。用老婆的广东话说，这就叫做“...
《小魔女妮妮和她的伙伴们》妮妮一家 第一章 兄妹友情慢慢地，妮妮睁开了双眼，自然地醒了。“唔……”妮妮刚睡醒，马上又用手捂住了眼睛。瓦蓝瓦蓝的蓝天，大朵大朵的白云，还有耀眼的阳光，妮妮的眼睛有点受不了光线的刺激。虽然还是有点睡眼惺忪，但是妮妮还是醒过来了。她深深地吸了一口气。空气中充满了花和草的香气，这香气令人心旷神怡，似乎把体内原来污浊的空气全部赶出了体外。人也精神了许多。“哈~小麻雀！”几只小麻雀叽叽喳喳地在妮妮眼前飞过。妮妮也坐了起来，视线随着快速飞向树林的小麻雀移动，直到妮妮的乌黑的大眼睛再也捕捉不到它们的身影为止。真是一个好奇的小女孩。妮妮又躺了下去，用双手枕着头。初夏的草原上的草是那么的柔软，比躺在床上还要舒服，怪不得这个小家伙这么喜欢躺在草原上。妮妮现在正躺在她家不远的草原上，长长的草把她娇小的身躯遮掩住了，除非走近到她身边，否则根本看不到她。事实上...
Kwaidan: Stories and Studies of Strange ThingsBy Lafcadio HearnA Note On Japanese PronunciationAlthough simplified, the following general rules will help the readerunfamiliar with Japanese to come close enough to Japanese pronunciation.There are five vowels: a (as in fAther), i (as in machIne), u (as infOOl), e (as in fEllow), and o (as in mOle). Although certain vowels becomenearly "silent" in some environments, this phenomenon can be safely ignoredfor the purpose at hand.Consonants roughly approximate their corresponding sounds in English,except for r, which is actually somewhere between r and l (this is why theJapanese have trouble distinguishing between English r and l), and f, which...
陈丹燕,女,1982年2月毕业于华东师范大学中文系。当今“海派作家”的代表人物。 内容简介： 为什么很多人不喜欢上海？原因有二：第一，它没有历史；第二，觉得上海人很小气，上海人很讲究吃、穿这些日常生活，没有英雄气概。陈丹燕在小时候也是老想着，等长大以后逃离上海，去一个很远的地方。 她自认为是一个非常西化的人，但德国人自己演绎的原汁原味的贝多芬的音乐，她却一句也听不进去，她对自己和自己的文化背景产生了怀疑。 一个偶然的机会，她家旁边的一栋房子使得陈丹燕开始对上海产生兴趣：从对建筑、街道这些东西的兴趣，到对上海的人有兴趣，对上海的人的精神状态和他们的命运也有兴趣。《上海的风花雪月》等书随之诞生。 上海究竟是一个什么样的城市？陈丹燕认为，它是一个混血的城市。它不是一个纯粹的中国的城市，也不是一个纯粹的西方的城市。这个城市的混血性和它的历史有很深的关系。所以，对上...
《两地书原信》校订本首次公开——专访鲁迅、许广平之子周海婴先生记者问：周先生，这次您授权中国青年出版社隆重推出您父母的《两地书原信》，是基于何种考虑？周先生：我父母的《两地书》，最早的版本是《鲁迅与景宋的通信两地书》，1933年由上海青光书局印行，这个版本收纳父母两人相互通信的信札135封（还有29封由于种种原因没有选入）。它于1938年首次收入《鲁迅全集》。后来1995年又出版过《两地书》的原稿、原信影印合本，但从来没有出版过一种从原信经过校正的版本，即《两地书原信》。今天我把《两地书原信》交中国青年出版社出版，缘于我家与该社交往的渊源已久；中国青年出版社是在上海开明书店合股改制的基础上成立的，他们的老编辑有许多位是我家的朋友，比如顾均正老先生，在上海抗战时期我们就是一墙之隔的邻居，相当熟。这个出版社的编辑力量是很强的。《两地书原信》编校后，我发现，果真校正出不少几十年来没校正...

《与仙共舞》作者：随性第一卷 进入灵界第一章 - 古仙人之路宇宙茫茫，天地不分！由宇宙星雾形成的混沌弥漫在了整个空间里，让无数的生灵承受着苦闷之苦。一位叫做盘古的强大生灵体内拥有无尽的神力，他提起在混沌之中提炼出来的神兵盘古仙斧，运起全身的力道向那无尽的混沌劈去。随着仙力的爆发，一道长达几百公里的九彩斧芒从那盘古斧上爆发开来，带着毁天灭地的力量劈向了那厚厚的混沌。随着能量的消融而形成的冲天旋风，使得一道巨大的裂缝呈现在了眼前。在那九彩神芒的作用下裂缝越来越大，随着一声惊天动地的巨响，那困扰了这里数百万年的混沌层居然在一瞬间消散得无影无踪，展现在盘古面前的是无尽的天空与苍茫的大地，刚才那强大的力量抽离将地面冲击得高低不平，形成了许多的高山大川。他望着那繁星闪闪的天空，心中顿生奇异之感，驾着九彩神光他成功的来到了距离地面最近的一颗星球上。在这里他才发现自己所存在的大地居...
我不知道为什么有人要将“狗熊”与“英雄”对立起来？狗熊又称“黑熊”，在我国特有猛兽中，它是我最喜欢的英雄。黑熊体格粗壮，浑身黑毛，胸前有一条月牙状白纹。可以直立行走，站起来仿佛一座铁塔，威风凌凌。所以人们形容身材魁梧的人往往说他“虎背熊腰”，或者干脆比喻成“象一头大黑熊”。大的黑熊，古书上称“罴”。民间则叫“人熊”。闽北山区流传着许多关于人熊的故事。据说人熊碰到人时，总是非常高兴，抓住人的双手格格笑。所以过去人熊出没的地方，人们上山常带两根竹筒，一碰到人熊就套在手腕上。等它笑得眯起了眼睛睡去，赶快抽手脱身。有经验的人告诫我说，人熊要是追来，你千万不敢往山上，而要往山下跑。人熊头上的毛发很长，往山下跑要低头，眼睛就会被毛发遮住看不清。事实上，人熊往山下跑不方便的原因，并非头发长而是后腿长身体重，下坡跑快了容易摔跟斗。话是这么说，我在山区三十年，从来没遇到过人熊或者...

《死劫》作者：高处不胜寒序言自古邪不胜正，但是何谓正何谓邪？学武之人是打抱不平、以苍生为重，还是孜孜不倦，谋一己之私利？在武道至尊、强者生存的江湖中，什么才是江湖人追求的正道？是非人生，快意恩仇，江湖人还追求什么？是至尊无上的地位，还是盖世无双的武功？死于江湖人来说，过于平常。死生仅隔一线，那么是应当泯灭恩仇、笑看人生，还是应当追根究底、不死不休呢？第一章：洪水困庄！水，浑浊奔腾，似猛兽般弥漫各处，吞噬着无数良田！这百年未遇的洪水，将偌大一个独孤剑庄变成了一个江心的小岛，整个新兴镇在洪水中侥幸保留生命的普通百姓全部都挤在了独孤剑庄这唯一一处露出水面的地方。独孤剑庄武林世家，坐落在长江中下游平原，自一代宗师独孤剑圣创立至今已经享誉武林两百一十三年。这一代庄主独孤青衣是独孤剑圣的第九代嫡系长孙，江湖朋友将他与他的六个弟弟并称为“独孤七剑”，并有“独孤七剑出，妖魔鬼怪...
