The Red One, and Othersby Jack LondonContents:The Red OneThe HussyLike Argus of the Ancient TimesThe PrincessSTORY: THE RED ONETHERE it was! The abrupt liberation of sound! As he timed it withhis watch, Bassett likened it to the trump of an archangel. Wallsof cities, he meditated, might well fall down before so vast andcompelling a summons. For the thousandth time vainly he tried toanalyse the tone-quality of that enormous peal that dominated theland far into the strong-holds of the surrounding tribes. Themountain gorge which was its source rang to the rising tide of ituntil it brimmed over and flooded earth and sky and air. With the...
The Letters of Robert Louis Stevenson, Volume IICHAPTER VIII - LIFE AT BOURNEMOUTH, CONTINUED, JANUARY 1886-JULY 1887Letter: TO MRS. DE MATTOS[SKERRYVORE, BOURNEMOUTH], JANUARY 1ST, 1886.DEAREST KATHARINE, - Here, on a very little book and accompaniedwith lame verses, I have put your name. Our kindness is nowgetting well on in years; it must be nearly of age; and it getsmore valuable to me with every time I see you.

I only wish the verses were better, but at least youlike the story; and it is sent to you by the one that loves you -...
胡因梦《生命的不可思议》 第一部分大陆版序胡因梦在过往的七年里,我的生命经验继续在深化及精微化。透过两性与亲子关系的发展,我进一步地体认到童年经验对人的一生有多么重大的影响。此外与工作坊里的学员们共同成长了七年的时间,也更细微地观察到身心灵之间的连带关系。我发现关系的品质确实与人的健康直接相关,而健康又决定了人是否能顺利开展出心灵的成熟度,迈向更高层的意识次元。早期家庭生活中耳濡目染的价值观与信念,会根深蒂固地决定一个人对生命的认知;认知若是扭曲,整个社会也会跟着颠倒。七年后的台湾社会仍然陷落在“谁对谁错”的较量中,仍然不关怀个体内在世界的福祉与真相,这一点,透过各种形式的媒体便可轻易获知。因此身心灵各个层面的整合观察与研究,在中国人的社会里还有许多发展空间,甚至可能是未来最迫切需要被重视的存在面向。这本传记若是能帮助读者把人生方向从外求导向内证,也就不枉费我生...
FINALE.Every limit is a beginning as well as an ending. Who can quit younglives after being long in company with them, and not desire to knowwhat befell them in their after-years? For the fragment of a life,however typical, is not the sample of an even web: promises maynot be kept, and an ardent outset may be followed by declension;latent powers may find their long-waited opportunity; a past errormay urge a grand retrieval.Marriage, which has been the bourne of so many narratives,is still a great beginning, as it was to Adam and Eve, who kepttheir honeymoon in Eden, but had their first little one among thethorns and thistles of the wilderness. It is still the beginningof the home epicthe gradual conquest or irremediable loss...
摄影/解海龙文字整理/张 杰 1991-1993年 如果说有一个人用照相机推动了一场撼天动地的运动的话,那就是解海龙与他的“希望工程”纪实摄影。 九十年代初,在北京崇文区文化馆工作的解海龙在农村采风时注意到很多孩子想上学而上不了学,促使他产生了要设法拍下这些贫困孩子是如何渴望读书的想法。当时青基会正在准备开展“希望工程”的活动,意在倡导大家“少抽一根烟,少喝一杯酒”,用来帮助贫困地区的孩子上学。解海龙得知后,便跑到团中央请缨,要为“希望工程”拍片子,如实反映中国农村失学孩子渴望读书的现状。他认为城里人看了他拍的片子不会无动于衷的,只要他们帮一个孩子上学了,他的片子就没白拍。 1991年初,为了用照相机把那些贫困地区的农家孩子因生活困难而不能入学受教育的情况记录下来,解海龙买了地图,东拼西凑,找了一些经费,开始对边远地区进行采访。 解海龙用一两个月的时间跑遍了大别山老区,...

《诸葛亮大传》作者:朱大渭--第1节:引言(1)引言千百年来,诸葛亮的形象通过各种传播媒体走进了一代又一代人的生活。湖北古隆中,奉节白帝城,成都武侯祠,岐山五丈原,勉县定军山……诸多历史遗迹以自己的存在,向人们默默地讲述着诸葛亮一生中各个历史时期的故事。一部《三国演义》,使诸葛亮的大名传遍了祖国的神州大地。马连良的传统京剧《借东风》、《失街亭》、《空城计》、《斩马谡》,倾倒了大江南北一代又一代的戏迷,"我正在城楼观山景,耳听得城外乱纷纷"……那典雅的唱词,优美的唱腔,传神的表演,已成为京剧艺术的经典。《三国演义》连环画,伴随着几代人从童年走到少年,从少年走到青年。《三国演义》电视剧,陪伴着亿万家庭度过丰富多彩的夜晚。《三国演义》的电子游戏,使得许多青少年如醉如痴。这一切,使得诸葛亮成为一个家喻户晓、妇孺皆知的人物。然而我们还是要问:您真正了解和认识诸葛亮吗?您是通过什么途...
SHERLOCK HOLMESTHE ADVENTURE OF THE SIX NAPOLEONSby Sir Arthur Conan DoyleIt was no very unusual thing for Mr. Lestrade, of Scotland Yard,to look in upon us of an evening, and his visits were welcome toSherlock Holmes, for they enabled him to keep in touch with all thatwas going on at the police headquarters. In return for the newswhich Lestrade would bring, Holmes was always ready to listen withattention to the details of any case upon which the detective wasengaged, and was able occasionally, without any active interference,to give some hint or suggestion drawn from his own vast knowledgeand experience.On this particular evening, Lestrade had spoken of the weather and...
SHERLOCK HOLMESTHE ADVENTURE OF THE SECOND STAINby Sir Arthur Conan DoyleTHE ADVENTURE OF THE SECOND STAINI had intended "The Adventure of the Abbey Grange" to be the last ofthose exploits of my friend, Mr. Sherlock Holmes, which I shouldever communicate to the public. This resolution of mine was not due toany lack of material, since I have notes of many hundreds of casesto which I have never alluded, nor was it caused by any waninginterest on the part of my readers in the singular personality andunique methods of this remarkable man. The real reason lay in thereluctance which Mr. Holmes has shown to the continued publicationof his experiences. So long as he was in actual professional...
第一部分 1.中文版序凡是写哲学史或思想史的作者,大抵不外有两类。一类为作者本人即哲学家或思想家,有其自己的一套哲学体系或思想体系,就其自己的哲学或思想在指点江山,臧否人物,借以发挥自己的思想理论和见解;而其缺点则是,不能客观全面地阐明历史的真相。文德尔班(WilhelmWindelband)久负盛名的哲学史著作即是一例。文氏为新康德学派的代表人物,他的《近代哲学史》一书分三卷,第一卷为《前康德哲学》,第二卷为《康德哲学》,第三卷为《后康德哲学》。似乎全部哲学的历史即是环绕着康德这个中心在运转,读后使人颇有点"孔子,孔子,大哉孔子,孔子以前,无有孔子,孔子之后,更无孔子"的味道。另一类作者则是史学家,他们考究源流、辨析史实,其重点在于哲学思想的历史发展过程、源流、传播、演变及影响。简单说来,也就是按历史顺序排列的哲学家或思想家的传记,而对于其义理的探究与批判却缺乏深入的洞见、探讨以及...

自励①梁启超献身甘作万矢的,著论求为百世师。誓起民权移旧俗,更研哲理牖②新知。十年以后当思我,举国犹狂欲语③谁?世界无穷愿无尽,海天寥廓立多时。①《自励》共二首,这里选其中一首。②牖(yǒu):窗户,此处引申为诱导之义。③语(yù):告诉。以旧风格含新意境——《自励》导读梁启超是清末资产阶级改良派的领袖之一。作为社会改革的先驱,不仅要有审视时代潮流的眼光,还须有举世誉之而不加劝,举世非之而不加沮的坚强意志和敢为天下先的勇气。这首《自励》就表现了作者的这些品格。该诗作于戊戌变法失败而新的革命高潮尚未到来的1901 年。但作者的政治和人生信念丝毫没有动摇。他要冒天下人的攻击而开一代新风,要宣传民权而改变旧伦理,要引进新知识以开启民智:“献身甘作万矢的,著论求为百世师。誓起民权移旧俗,更研哲理牖新知。”这是诗人的自励。然而先驱者最初往...
罗伯特·T·清崎“那么,她究竟应该怎么做呢?”主持人问我。我最痛恨的人之一,就是那些毫无主见、惟命是从的人。当我还是一个孩子的时候,我就注意到,我的一些同学在学校里各方面都表现得非常好,他们在老师面前总是俯首帖耳、百依百顺,老师怎么说他们就怎么做。这些学生通常被称做老师的宠儿。而我则恰恰相反,我总是做老师没有交代的事情,或者是老师规定不许做的事情……因此,我在学校里总是麻烦不断。所以,从很早的时候我就知道,我痛恨循规蹈矩,我不愿意老老实实地按照别人吩咐的那样去做。正是由于这个原因,在我自己的书中,我总是尽量避免告诫他人,应该怎么做。在各种各样的书店和图书馆中,告诉别人应该“怎么做”的书比比皆是,琳琅满目。对于那些一贯墨守成规的人来说,这样的书最适合他们不过了。但是,“富爸爸”系列图书不属此列。这些书的目的在于传播富爸爸在财务方面的智慧与经验。他们讲述了我本人在实...
我小时候,身边最多的不是物质,而是人,多大的小孩都能找到与他同龄的朋友,一堆堆的小孩滚在一起玩耍。小孩子很擅长摹仿大人,竞争、娱乐、打斗、和平相处,家里的房间多是狭小逼仄的,因此,大家都必须到外面去,外面只有人,拉帮结伙。首先,我得找到我那一伙,其次,我还得与那伙人一同合作,分享痛苦、麻烦、语言、激情与梦想。每一天,在每一个孩子身上发生的事儿是单调乏味的,但几个乃至十几个小孩在一起,就总有一些新鲜事发生。当然也不是每一天都发生,谁的父母打谁了,谁的奶奶病了,谁家与另一家闹矛盾了,可以说,你必须有点无私,才能在这个空间生存下去,并获得乐趣。当然,除被欺负以外,小孩们在一起,总能找到乐趣,也许因为运气,这种日子过得日久天长,小学、初中、高中、大学毕业,让我知道了很多人群中的故事。在一个团伙里,每人都有一个角色,就是像人在社会中的角色一样,有时,你必须扮演一个傻瓜,娱...
An Old Town By The Seaby Thomas Bailey AldrichPISCATAQUA RIVERThou singest by the gleaming isles,By woods, and fields of corn,Thou singest, and the sunlight smilesUpon my birthday morn.But I within a city, I,So full of vague unrest,Would almost give my life to lieAn hour upon upon thy breast.To let the wherry listless go,And, wrapt in dreamy joy,Dip, and surge idly to and fro,Like the red harbor-buoy;To sit in happy indolence,To rest upon the oars,And catch the heavy earthy scentsThat blow from summer shores;To see the rounded sun go down,And with its parting firesLight up the windows of the townAnd burn the tapering spires;And then to hear the muffled tollsFrom steeples slim and white,And watch, among the Isles of Shoals,...
内容介绍 金鼓犹鸣闻战鼓, 毒烟方禁起狼烟。 山河不是团龙衮, 巧手凭谁能补天? ———引自富察·鹤年先生《清帝杂咏十二首之八·道光》 爱新觉罗·旻宁,初名绵宁,1782年生于北京紫禁城内撷芳殿,是清嘉庆皇帝的次子,乾隆皇帝的孙子。1821年39岁时,他登极即皇帝位,改元道光,后人便称他为“道光皇帝”了。道光皇帝在位共3O年,1850年,他病故于圆明园的慎德堂,谥为“效天符运立中体正至文圣武智勇仁慈俭勤孝敏成皇帝”,庙号“宣宗”,葬于清慕陵。 道光自幼饱读诗书兼善骑射,深得乾隆、嘉庆的宠爱,并依仗这种宠爱,加上他本人温良恭俭让的对外形象,终于成为大清第八代天子。登基后,雄心勃勃的道光,也曾效仿其先辈,勤力朝政,意图振兴祖业。但是,此时的大清已由盛转衰、渐露败象。官吏贪腐,欺压良善,内地与边疆的百姓不堪重负,纷纷揭竿而起。外国列强乘虚而入,以鸦片为先导,开始了对中华...
A Voyage to Abyssiniaby Father Jerome Lobotranslated from the French by Samuel Johnson.INTRODUCTION by Henry Morley, Editor of the 1887 editionJeronimo Lobo was born in Lisbon in the year 1593. He entered the Order of the Jesuits at the age of sixteen. After passing through the studies by which Jesuits were trained for missionary work, which included special attention to the arts of speaking and writing, Father Lobo was sent as a missionary to India at the age of twenty- eight, in the year 1621.

They were to be converted, from a form of Christianity peculiar to themselves, to orthodox C...
