第1章 Dedection

This book is dedicated to all those who have lost their lives in the Congo, and to David Derthick and Sheikha Ali, my heroes.

  • Barnaby Rudge(II)巴纳比·拉奇(英文版)

    Barnaby Rudge(II)巴纳比·拉奇(英文版)

    Barnaby Rudge was the fifth of Dickens' novels to be published. It had originally been planned to appear as his first, but changes of publisher led to many delays, and it first appeared in serial form in the Clock from February to November 1841. Set against the backdrop of the Gordon Riots of 1780, Barnaby Rudge is a story of mystery and suspense which begins with an unsolved double murder and goes on to involve conspiracy, blackmail, abduction and retribution. Through the course of the novel fathers and sons become opposed, apprentices plot against their masters and Protestants clash with Catholics on the streets. And, as London erupts into riot, Barnaby Rudge himself struggles to escape the curse of his own past. With its dramatic descriptions of public violence and private horror, its strange secrets and ghostly doublings, Barnaby Rudge is a powerful, disturbing blend of historical realism and Gothic melodrama.

  • The Epic Crush of Genie Lo

    The Epic Crush of Genie Lo

    The struggle to get into a top-tier college consumes sixteen-year-old Genie's every waking thought. But when she discovers she's a celestial spirit who's powerful enough to bash through the gates of heaven with her fists, her perfectionist existence is shattered. Enter Quentin, a transfer student from China whose tone-deaf assertiveness beguiles Genie to the brink of madness. Quentin nurtures Genie's outrageous transformation—sometimes gently, sometimes aggressively—as her sleepy suburb in the Bay Area comes under siege from hell-spawn. This epic YA debut draws from Chinese folklore, features a larger-than-life heroine, and perfectly balances the realities of Genie's grounded high school life with the absurd supernatural world she finds herself commanding.

  • 别离的瞬间

    别离的瞬间

    我在梦中,思念如水。小小的幸福,酥酥痒痒的,弥漫全身,幸福着,我醉了,不想醒来。亲爱的,让我抱抱你。就如那天,我想牵着你的小手,走在公园的小道上,漫天的雨水将你我拥抱。那点点滴滴滴滴点点的水花,就如那陈年老酒,沉淀着,发酵着。亲爱的,我想跟你说,生活中有你,我过的很开心。人生路上我已习惯漂泊,曾经的感动已离我远去。我傲然,麻木,冷漠的过着每一天,每一分,每一秒。曾以为人到世上,也就一过客,走时挥一挥手也就别无留念。直到遇见了你,亲爱的,我想把你拥抱,我象癞子一样贪婪的留恋在你身边的每一秒种。奢侈的拥有你,紧紧的抱住你,希望此刻可以永恒。
