A Short History of Myth
Human beings have always been mythmakers. So begins best-selling writer Karen Armstrong's concise yet compelling investigation into myth: what it is, how it has evolved, and why we still so desperately need it. She takes us from the Paleolithic period and the myths of the hunters right up to the Great Western Transformation of the last five hundred years and the discrediting of myth by science. The history of myth is the history of humanity, our stories and beliefs, our curiosity and attempts to understand the world, which link us to our ancestors and each other. Heralding a major series of retellings of international myths by authors from around the world, Armstrong's characteristically insightful and eloquent book serves as a brilliant and thought-provoking introduction to myth in the broadest senseand explains why if we dismiss it, we do so at our peril.The Signal-Man 信号员(英文版)
The ghost story "The Signal-Man" is written in 1866, which concerns a spectre seen beside a tunnel entrance. The signal-man of the title tells the narrator of a ghost that has been haunting him. Each spectral appearance precedes, and is a harbinger of, a tragic event on the railway on which the signalman works. The signalman's work is at a signalbox in a deep cutting near a tunnel entrance on a lonely stretch of the line, and he controls the movements of passing trains. When there is danger, his fellow signalmen alert him via telegraph and alarms. Three times, he receives phantom warnings of danger when his bell rings in a fashion that only he can hear. Each warning is followed by the appearance of the spectre, and then by a terrible accident. The first accident involves a terrible collision between two trains in the tunnel. Dickens may have based this incident on the Clayton Tunnel rail crash that occurred in 1861.A Tale of Two Cities(双城记)(III)(英文版)
It was the time of the French Revolution — a time of great change and great pgsk.comntly plotted, the novel is rich in drama, romance, and heroics that culminate in a daring prison escape in the shadow of the pgsk.comy imprisoned for 18 years in the Bastille, Dr. Alexandre Manette is reunited with his daughter, Lucie, and safely transported from France to England. It would seem that they could take up the threads of their lives in peace. As fate would have it though, the pair are summoned to the Old Bailey to testify against a young Frenchman — Charles Darnay — falsely accused of treason. Strangely enough, Darnay bears an uncanny resemblance to another man in the courtroom, the dissolute lawyer's clerk Sydney Carton. It is a coincidence that saves Darnay from certain doom more than once.

A funny, bittersweet exploration of how a child can change in one short year of love, loss, and growing up…Seven-year-old Scotty Ocean decides that seven is going to be "his year." But soon after his birthday, his artist-turned-alcoholic mother abandons the family—leaving Scotty and his two older sisters alone with their father. As his perfect year is torn apart (falls apart?), Scotty begins to act out during school and takes a series of increasingly wild actions to try to win his mother back—and, when that doesn't work, to replace her.钟形罩瓶
本书系美国“自白派”女诗人西尔维娅·普拉斯(1932—1963)在其短暂一生中创作的唯一的一部长篇小说。和她才华横溢的诗集《巨人》《爱丽儿》一样,《钟形罩瓶》也在美国文学史上留下了光辉的一页,被视为美国现代文学经典之一。这是一位才貌双绝的美国女诗人描述自己人生经历的自传体小说,小说女主人公就是普拉斯本人的写照。普拉斯以诗的语言讲述青春期的叛逆与躁动,又以自己的一死加强了作品的感染力和真实性,使她在世界女权主义作家行列中留下独具一格的悲怆之美。大清县衙清风
本书取名《大清县衙清风》,就书的名称来说,“清风”一词前面有两个定语,一是定时间,二是定层阶。“清风”的本意是清爽、清凉之风,但多用于象征一种美好的风化、高洁的品格等。于是,自然之风也就随之社会化、道德化了。清风前面冠以“县衙”,是说这本书所涉及的内容主要是县衙这一层面,“县衙”曾是一级政权的代名词,在我国漫长的封建社会中,县级官府是作为封建政权架构的最低层,官级虽低,但它却是封建帝国大厦的基础,县衙中的主官——知县,位虽七品,其权利实在不小,俗称“父母官”,他们距离百姓最近,给百姓带来的苦乐也最直接,百姓对县衙的感受,代表着对国家的感受,因此,从某种意义上来说,知县对整个国家来说就有“载舟”“覆舟”的作用。
