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. Devushkin, a prototype of the clerk found in many works of naturalistic literature at that time, retains his sentimental characteristics; Dobroselova abandons art, while Devushkin cannot live without literature.

The Secret of Rover follows the clever and resourceful twins Katie and David as they race across the country in their attempt to outwit an international team of insurgents who hold their parents and baby sister captive in a foreign land. Held hostage because they invented a spy technology called Rover that can locate anyone in the world, Katie and David's parents are in grave danger. Now, it's up to Katie and David to rescue them. But first they must find their reclusive uncle, whom they have never met—the only person they know who can help them. This page-turning story from a debut author with insider knowledge of Washington is fun, suspenseful, and convincingly real.

梦遇乾隆之清龙汉凤全集
【公告】梦遇乾隆之前世今生，等待影视签约【简介】谢瑶池特别喜欢清朝乾隆年间的古董，她的家中到处是古董，因为一张床，一枚戒指她穿越到乾隆年间，成了一个内务府的包衣奴才，由于选秀进宫成了一名宫女，无意间巧遇乾隆，成就一段清龙汉凤的姻缘。她生前贵为皇贵妃，死后追封为皇后，是葬入裕陵地宫的最后一位妃子。她的儿子成了皇位的继承者。她的前世与香妃哪一个是乾隆的专宠？她到底有什么魅力？乾隆曾说过今生欠来生还，二百年后，他们重逢，乾隆的后世赵宏利，是会爱貌似香妃的何香竹，还是谢瑶池，他们间的恩怨情仇还将有什么样的继续呢？盟上三生约，不求同世生，但求同归土。朋友情弘昼头也不回地道：“不了，说了半天话，渴了，回府喝水去。”“我们家有水。”我回头盯了眼桌子上的茶壶。“我知道你们家有水，可是没人给倒呀，还是回家喝吧。初遇乾隆篇本以为是蒙混过关了，这晚上我终于睡了一个安稳觉。没想到次日刚进宫，太监过来传旨，皇帝要亲自阅选。半晌，听到一个浑厚的声音响起：“此次阅选秀女，竟有仿汉人妆饰者，实非满洲风俗。在朕前尚尔如此，其在家，恣意服饰，更不待言。嗣后但当以纯朴为贵，断不可任意妆饰。”说我吗？我低头看了看身上穿的，绿衣红裙，衣服袖口镶白底全彩绣牡丹阔边，镶滚云肩，裙的镜面上绣少许折枝花。可是刚刚选中的秀女里，衣服面料还有闪缎和妆缎、颜色还有几个胜过我的，偏偏到我这儿，宣扬不可随意妆饰。接着乾隆又道：“旗妇一耳带三钳，原系满洲旧风，断不可改节，朕选看包衣佐领之秀女，皆带一坠子，并相沿于一耳一钳，则竟非满洲矣，立行禁止。”结果回去衣服被大太太没收，又补了两个耳眼，对乾隆第一印象不太好。试膳篇总之，他是眼睛看着哪道菜，我就吃哪道，等到他二十几道菜全盯遍了，一口也没动，倒把我撑得腰都直不起来，还机械地他看哪儿，我吃哪儿，等到第三次吃肉丝山菜时，我才想起来，一道菜吃一遍就行了乾隆看着我直摇头说：“啃得乱七八糟的，朕怕狗都不肯吃。”我一本正经地说：“狗年岁大了，牙口不好，奴婢替它啃皮。”轻松搞笑，但不低俗，再现乾隆历史，盛大的秋狄，普免钱粮，逞贪官等，虽是穿越，第一人称，但是女主QQ太低，远离宫斗，令德令望。
