第2章

To my parents, Mollie and Abe, who first taught me the meaning of love, and continue (at the proud ages of eighty-seven and eighty-nine) to teach its nuances.

—Bev

And, at the other end of the spectrum…

To my first granddaughter, Emma, who lights up my life with her smile and reminds me to believe in the fundamental goodness of people.

—Sharon

    The Steep and Thorny Way

    A thrilling reimagining of Shakespeare's Hamlet, The Steep and Thorny Way tells the story of a murder most foul and the mighty power of love and acceptance in a state gone terribly rotten. ?1920s Oregon is not a welcoming place for Hanalee Denney, the daughter of a white woman and an African-American man. She has almost no rights by law, and the Ku Klux Klan breeds fear and hatred in even Hanalee's oldest friendships. Plus, her father, Hank Denney, died a year ago, hit by a drunk-driving teenager. Now her father's killer is out of jail and back in town, and he claims that Hanalee's father wasn't killed by the accident at all but, instead, was poisoned by the doctor who looked after him—who happens to be Hanalee's new stepfather. ?The only way for Hanalee to get the answers she needs is to ask Hank himself, a "haint" wandering the roads at night.

  • The Battle of Life 人生的战斗(III)(英文版)

    The Battle of Life 人生的战斗(III)(英文版)

    The Battle of Life: A Love Story is a novella by Charles Dickens, first published in 1846. It is the fourth of his five "Christmas Books"/ It's the 4th of his five "Christmas Books", coming after The Cricket on the Hearth and followed by The Haunted Man and the Ghost's Bargain. Battle is the only one of the five Christmas Books that has no supernatural or explicitly religious elements. (One scene takes place at Christmas time, but it is not the final scene.) The story bears some resemblance to The Cricket on the Hearth in two respects: it has a non-urban setting, and it is resolved with a romantic twist. It is even less of a social novel than is Cricket. As is typical with Dickens, the ending is a happy one. The setting is an English village that stands on the site of an historic battle. Some characters refer to the battle as a metaphor for the struggles of life, hence the title.
  • Poor Folk(III)穷人(英文版)

    Poor Folk(III)穷人(英文版)

    Poor Folk is the first novel by Fyodor Dostoyevsky, written over the span of nine months between 1844 and 1845. Inspired by the works of Gogol, Pushkin, and Karamzin, as well as English and French authors, Poor Folk is written in the form of letters between the two main characters, Makar Devushkin and Varvara Dobroselova, who are poor second cousins. The novel showcases the life of poor people, their relationship with rich people, and poverty in general, all common themes of literary naturalism. A deep but odd friendship develops between them until Dobroselova loses her interest in literature, and later in communicating with Devushkin after a rich widower Mr. Bykov proposes to her. While Vissarion Belinsky dubbed the novel Russia's first "social novel" and Alexander Herzen called it a major socialist work, other critics detected parody and satire.

    工作整理术:这样工作才能更简单、更高效

    《工作整理术:这样工作才能更简单、更高效》内容简介:工作是人生食粮,不愉快便失去意义;以义务感面对工作,更无法获得幸福。既然一定得做,不如开开心心去做,不如真心地享受工作,因此,整理术应运而生,整理是非常积极的行为,在你工作中遇到的任何问题,你都能拿来做一番整理,只要彻底执行,工作环境、工作状态就能大幅改善,当然,就像数学中的“极限”一样,只能无限靠近,却不能到达,所以《工作整理术:这样工作才能更简单、更高效》并非是为了整理而整理,而是与读者分享一种“如何享受工作”的方法论。
