Based on the life of Paul Gauguin, The Moon and Sixpence is W. Somerset Maugham's ode to the powerful forces behind creative pgsk.com Strickland is a staid banker, a man of wealth and privilege. He is also a man possessed of an unquenchable desire to create art. As Strickland pursues his artistic vision, he leaves London for Paris and Tahiti, and in his quest makes sacrifices that leaves the lives of those closest to him in tatters. Through Maugham's sympathetic eye Strickland's tortured and cruel soul becomes a symbol of the blessing and the curse of transcendent artistic genius, and the cost in humans lives it sometimes demands.

Dombey and Son by Charles Dickens, published in 1848. Its full title is Dealings with the Firm of Dombey and Son: Wholesale, Retail and for Exportation. The story concerns of a powerful man whose callous neglect of his family triggers his professional and personal downfall, showcases the author's gift for vivid characterization and unfailingly realistic description. As Jonathan Lethem contends in his Introduction, Dickens's "genius … is at one with the genius of the form of the novel itself: Dickens willed into existence the most capacious and elastic and versatile kind of novel that could be, one big enough for his vast sentimental yearnings and for every impulse and fear and hesitation in him that countervailed those yearnings too. Never parsimonious and frequently contradictory, he always gives us everything he can, everything he's planned to give, and then more."

关东人把讲故事，称为讲“瞎话”。风干了的“瞎话”意思是，久远的故事，放得时间长了，就风干了。再不捡起来，就忘记了，年轻人就不知道了。那该有多可惜！一个民族的悲哀，就在于它忘掉过去的发展史。信仰没了，老祖宗留下的传家宝丢了，那这个民族离走向衰亡就不远了。这是十分可怕的事情。关东人常说，俺这疙瘩是“棒打狍子，瓢舀鱼，野鸡飞到饭锅里”。现在可变啦。年轻人没见过狍子是啥模样儿不说，或许认为用瓢舀鱼是“扒瞎”，“扯蛋”；野鸡飞到饭锅里是“吹牛”，“撒谎”。但作者告诉你，这都是真的。有句喀儿唠得硬：“关东山好地方，又有兔子又有狼，就是缺少大姑娘。”这话你信吗？
