0002.4万字

Years after the events of Spencer's Mountain, Clay Spencer—Clay-Boy's father—fails to return home on Christmas Eve. Leaving his worried family to keep watch at the homestead, Clay-Boy takes to the snowy Virginia hills in search of his father. Along the way, he meets an irate deer, a threatening county sheriff, a congregation of African-American churchgoers, and two elderly women who happen to be bootleggers. The story of Clay-Boy's search for his father is told with warmth and intensity.

Along with its prequel, Spencer's Mountain, The Homecoming was the inspiration for the popular television show The Waltons, which starred Richard Thomas, Andrew Duggan, and Patricia Neal, and ran for nine years between 1972 and 1981. Over fifty years after its publication, this novel still has the power to move and inspire.

  • The Further Adventures of Robinson Crusoe(II) 鲁滨逊漂

    The Further Adventures of Robinson Crusoe(II) 鲁滨逊漂

    The Further adventures of Robinson Crusoe is a novel by Daniel Defoe, first published in 1719. Just as in its predecessor, Robinson Crusoe (1719), the first edition credits the work's fictional protagonist Robinson Crusoe as its author. The book starts with the statement about Crusoe's marriage in England. He bought a little farm in Bedford and had three children: two sons and one daughter. Crusoe suffered distemper and a desire to see "his island." He could talk of nothing else, except his wife. She told him, in tears, "I will go with you, but I won't leave you." But in the middle of this felicity, Providence unhinged him at once, with the loss of his wife. Although intended to be the last Crusoe tale, the novel is followed by non-fiction book involving Crusoe by Defoe entitled Serious Reflections During the Life and Surprising Adventures of Robinson Crusoe: With his Vision of the Angelick World (1720).

    纵横家与“合纵连横”

    《中国文化知识读本:纵横家与合纵连横》纵横家指春秋战国时期从事合纵或连横外、交运动的政治家、外交家及军事家。纵横最初只是表方向的概念,南北向称为“纵”,东西向称为“横”。到战国时期,演变成政治概念,当时割据纷争,王权不能稳固统一,需要在国力富足的基础上利用联合、排斥、威逼、利诱或辅以兵法不战而胜,或以较少的损失获得最大的收益。于是,熟悉政治形势,善于辞令和权术,充分利用智谋。思想、手段、策略处理国与国之间问题的纵横家就应时而生。《中国文化知识读本:纵横家与合纵连横》适合大众读物。
