After hearing voices among an eerie copse of trees in the woods, seventeen-year-old Curtis must confront his worst fear: that he has inherited his father's mental illness. A desperate search for answers leads him to discover Gravenhearst, a labyrinth mansion that burned down in 1894. When he locks eyes with a steely Victorian girl in a forgotten mirror, he's sure she's one of the fire's victims. If he can unravel the mystery, he can save his sanity … and possibly the girl who haunts his dreams. But more than 100 years in the past, the girl in the mirror is fighting her own battles. When her mother disappears and her sinister stepfather reveals his true intentions, Mila and her sister fight to escape Gravenhearst and unravel the house's secrets—before it devours them both.

《神曲》是但丁1307年至1321在放逐期间写的一部长诗。全诗分为三部《地狱篇》（已经收录并出版在“最经典英语文库”第一辑里）、《炼狱篇》（本辑已收录）和《天堂篇》。每部33首，最前面增加一首序诗，共100首，描绘了诗人但丁在维吉尔和贝阿特丽采的指引下，幻游地狱、炼狱、天堂三界的故事。写出《神曲·地狱篇》的但丁是个战士。说但丁是“战士”，是由于他早年积极参加反封建贵族的政治斗争，并为此被判处终身流放，拒绝屈服，直至客死他乡。说《神曲》是“梦幻现实巨著”，是因为它不仅借助了梦幻中神游三界的文学形式，而且极其广泛地包含了当时意大利的社会政治和文化方面的情况，描写了诗人幻游中遇到的上百个各种类型的人物，对政治党争、教会罪恶、哲学、神学、科学、艺术等诸多方面都做了艺术性的阐述和总结，堪称欧洲中世纪的百科全书。此次，“最经典英语文库”出版的是第二部分《炼狱篇》，也是《地狱篇》改恶从善历程的继续。美国19世纪著名诗人朗费罗，通过精确的理解，将《神曲》翻译成英语，现在这个英译本已成为英语世界里的精品。法国19世纪著名版画家、雕刻家和插图作家古斯塔夫·多雷，通过精确的理解，为其作了充实饱满、质感强烈、精美异常的插图。通过阅读这部《神曲》，我们可以了解但丁，了解“地狱”，了解“炼狱”，也可以了解“天堂”（将出版）。

This is a dazzling collection of occasional writings by the Nobel Prize-winning novelist on subjects ranging from Thermopylae to the English Channel, and from Coral Island to Jules Verne. "e;A book of occasional essays which afford us many fascinating insights into Golding the man…It is highly individual yet profoundly modest; it has an unusual, slightly angular candour, full of painful knowledge and a beautiful humanity …event the slightest piece bears the mark of his rare, austere mind, his remarkable imagination…Even these occasional essays are enough to remind us that …there is not, at the moment, a writer to touch him"e;. (New Society).

From Blake Pierce, bestselling author of ONCE GONE (a #1 bestseller with over 900 five star reviews), comes book #5 in the heart-pounding Mackenzie White mystery series.In BEFORE HE NEEDS (A Mackenzie White Mystery—Book 5), FBI special agent Mackenzie White finds herself summoned to crack a case she has never encountered before: the victim is not a man or a woman—but a couple.The third couple found dead in their homes this month.As Mackenzie and the FBI scramble to figure out who would want happily-married couples dead, her search takes her deep into a disturbing world and subculture. She quickly learns that all is not what it seems behind the picket fences of perfectly-suburban homes—and that darkness lurks at the edge of even the happiest-seeming families.

The title poem from this collection is set on an island that has been a site of pilgrimage in Ireland for over a thousand years. A narrative sequence, it is an autobiographical quest concerned with 'the growth of a poet's mind'. The long poem is preceded by a section of shorter lyrics and leads into a third group of poems in which the poet's voice is at one with the voice of the legendary mad King Sweeney. 'Surpasses even what one might reasonably expect from this magnificently gifted poet.' John Carey, Sunday Times

羽一字无声，是下单(shan)国首都棂城富豪榜第二家族家主的第三子，他最厌的是那险恶、贪婪、无谓的人心。他是族人口中不学无术的纨绔子弟，亦是秦楼楚馆中胭脂水粉口中才貌双全、风流倜傥之人，还是夫子口中朽木却又难得一遇的怪才。他喜静、喜山水、喜人烟稀少之地，他喜欢简单不喜麻烦，他无情却又多情，他明辨是非却又难分对错。他向往的生活是一人在绵延山林做一幢小木屋，与山野玩耍，远离那些猜不透的人心。注：文中人物内心所想用例如羽一[一：内容]表示。

一个夏日的早上，暴雨初晴。富家河镇的集市上，来了一个中年妇女，她头戴一顶雪白的大草帽，肩挑一对小木桶，身后跟着一个小女孩儿。这是母女俩。母亲中等个子，身材不胖不瘦，面相十分俊俏。她前面的木桶里装着银龙小虾，后面的木桶里装着金龙大虾。她迈着均匀的大步进入市场后，把木桶轻轻放在街口一个酱油铺的墙下，女孩儿从背着的褡裢里拿出一个乌黑的圆牌，一边“当当当”地拍打，一边大声叫喊着：“活银龙小虾，活金龙大虾，卖银龙小虾，卖金龙大虾……”

“师父，我想跟您去启源大陆修真成仙。”“你高中还没读完，去了也白瞎。”“学那些有什么用啊？您一飞起来，牛顿的棺材板都压不住了！”“相对论你都不懂，怎么面对虚空洪流时间对冲？”“那……不是有您的法宝护身嘛！”“等你学习过神经系统再说吧。”“神经系统？学好了是不是就能教我点穴擒拿？”“不，怕你在拉尼亚凯亚超星系里迷路。”
