第1章

"Perhaps there is no beginning and end to yarn, just a constant heartbeat of energy, a long chain of shifting shapes, from lamb to landfill, that started with the Big Bang and won't end until the next Big Bang. All we have…is the here and now. The yarn in our hands and on our needles at this very moment: That's our stash."

-CLARA PARKES, "WHEN IT'S GONE, IT'S GONE"

  • 月亮与六便士:The Moon and Sixpence(英文版)

    月亮与六便士:The Moon and Sixpence(英文版)

    1919年,毛姆45岁时,发表了这部《月亮与六便士》。小说故事情节相对比较简单:某进入中年的英国券商,忽然决定抛妻弃子,跟随内心长久以来积压着的念头,立志要成为一个艺术家。这个故事的源头来自画家高更的生平故事。这种行为并不为世俗社会所认可。本来作为一个券商,手里有大把大把的钞票可以挥霍过活,为什么非要当什么艺术家?为什么最后连生存都变成一个问题?结果,这位想成为艺术家的券商后来连个住处都找不到,身体也患上了疾病,混到了没有钱买食物果腹,整天挨饿的境地。也许,艺术家的世界,凡夫俗子们永远不会懂。这位艺术家不仅没有被这种境地吓倒,反而愈加坚强地活了下去。而且,不顾身体上的疾病带来的不适,也无视周遭环境的恶劣程度,一心扑在绘画的创作之中。在太平洋的一个叫作塔西提的小岛上,他创作出了让人看一眼就会产生荡气回肠感觉的“杰作”。但此时,他已经溘然长逝。那么,为什么叫“月亮与六便士”?其实,用毛姆自己的话说,这个书名的意义并没有在书里得到应有的展示,而是出自某评论家在评论上述《人性的枷锁》时所写的某句话。原话如下:《人性的枷锁》里的主人公菲利普·凯利(PhilipCarey)被形容为一个太过执着找寻月亮的家伙,以至于他从来没发现过脚底下就有一块六便士。毛姆后来这样解释道:“假如你低头在地上不住地要找寻一块六便士硬币,头也不抬起来一下,那么,你就会丢掉月亮。”
  • Mediums Rare

    Mediums Rare

    Prolific screenwriter and genre novelist Richard Matheson has long maintained an interest in all matters relating to parapsychology, telepathy, ESP and other paranormal activity. His brief and elegantly printed new volume amounts to a lightly fictionalized history as well as quick, evocative episodes of paranormal activity from Greek antiquity all the way through renowned American psychic Edgar Cayce.Most of the episodes in this book depict the famous seers, mediums and performers of the nineteenth-century, whose feats Matheson clearly admires. Margaret and Kate Fox, aged ten and seven, in 1848 convinced their parents and many other Americans that they were in touch with ghosts in a haunted house. (Matheson notes that the adult Margaret recanted, explaining how she herself produced the ghosts' mysterious rapping noises: he believes the recantation fake, arranged by the sisters' enemies.)
  • Love Like This (The Romance Chronicles—Book #1)

    Love Like This (The Romance Chronicles—Book #1)

    "Sophie Love's ability to impart magic to her readers is exquisitely wrought in powerfully evocative phrases and descriptions….[This is] the perfect romance or beach read, with a difference: its enthusiasm and beautiful descriptions offer an unexpected attention to the complexity of not just evolving love, but evolving psyches. It's a delightful recommendation for romance readers looking for a touch more complexity from their romance reads."--Midwest Book Review (Diane Donovan re: For Now and Forever)"A very well written novel, describing the struggle of a woman to find her true identity. The author did an amazing job with the creation of the characters and her description of the environment. The romance is there, but not overdosed. Kudos to the author for this amazing start of a series that promises to be very entertaining."--Books and Movies Reviews, Roberto Mattos (re: For Now and Forever)
