A History of Science--Volume 2
Henry Smith Williams 试读
评分:8.7分he studies of the present book cover the progress of science from the close of the Roman period in the fifth century A.D. to about the middle of the eighteenth century. In tracing the course of events through so long a period, a difficulty becomes prominent which everywhere besets the historian in less degree—a difficulty due to the conflict between the strictly chronological and the topical method of treatment.

续小五义
佚名 试读
评分:8.7分“续小五义”是古典名著“三侠五义”的续书之一,又名“忠烈续小五义传”、“三续忠烈侠义传”。最早可见光绪十七(1891年)辛卯年北京文光楼刊本。一百廿四回。不题署名。“续小五义”故事情节接“小五义”,接叙众英雄大破铜网阵,襄阳王潜逃,诸侠仍在江湖间诛锄盗贼,打太岁坊,破桃花寨,盗鱼肠剑,擒白菊花……最后拿获襄阳王,皇帝论功,众侠义皆受封赏,于是全书结束。在艺术成就上,“续小五义”和“小五义”疑似一个作者,比“三侠五义”原著要逊色些。故事情节曲折动人,富于变化,很能引起读者的悬念。语言口语化、大众化,运动不少方言土语,叙事写人恰到好处,鲁迅曾评价“三侠五义”及其续书,“绘声状物,甚有评话习气”。

坑余生 试读
评分:8.7分‘续济公传’,清代坑余生所著。‘续济公传’虽名为续集,情节却完全可以独立于‘济公全传’之外而存在,其内容与人物形象,与‘全传’相比有较大的变化。续集叙述了济公率领弟子,劝导一批忠臣后裔和江湖义士,严惩卖国投降的奸臣和皇亲国戚,平定“大狄国”的内患,以保南宋江山“国泰民安”的种种故事。在这些故事中,济公的活动范围从市井社会拓展到整个朝野江湖,其所作为也从撮合男女美满姻缘、扶危济困、除怪降妖扩展到关系国家安危的军机大事,社会场景更为广阔,情节也特别丰富、曲折,引人入胜。济公的形象也从一个游戏人间行侠仗义的“颠憎”,逐渐演化成一个忠肝义胆、神机妙算、佛法无边的济世活佛。

I, Thou, and the Other One A Love Story
Amelia 试读
评分:8.6分Beyond Thirsk and Northallerton, through the Cleveland Hills to the sea eastward, and by Roseberry Topping, northward, there is a lovely, lonely district, very little known even at the present day. The winds stream through its hills, as cool and fresh as living water; and whatever beauty there is of mountain, valley, or moorland, Farndale and Westerdale can show it; while no part of England is so rich in those picturesque manor-houses which have been the homes of the same families for twenty generations.

A Christmas Carol
Charles Dickens 试读
评分:8.6分The tale begins on Christmas Eve seven years after the death of Ebenezer Scrooge's business partner Jacob Marley. Scrooge is established within the first stave (chapter) as a greedy and stingy businessman who has no place in his life for kindness, compassion, charity, or benevolence. After being warned by Marley's ghost to change his ways, Scrooge is visited by three additional ghosts "each in its turn" who accompany him to various scenes with the hope of achieving his transformation. The first of the spirits, the Ghost of Christmas Past, takes Scrooge to the scenes of his boyhood and youth which stir the old miser's gentle and tender side by reminding him of a time when he was more innocent. The second spirit, the Ghost of Christmas Present, takes Scrooge to several radically differing scenes (a joy-filled market of people buying the makings of Christmas dinner, the family feast of Scrooge's near-impoverished clerk Bob Cratchit, a miner's cottage, and a lighthouse among other sites) in order to evince from the miser a sense of responsibility for his fellow man. The third spirit, the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come, harrows Scrooge with dire visions of the future if he does not learn and act upon what he has witnessed. Scrooge's own neglected and untended grave is revealed, prompting the miser to aver that he will change his ways in hopes of changing these "shadows of what may be." In the fifth and final stave, Scrooge awakens Christmas morning with joy and love in his heart, then spends the day with his nephew's family after anonymously sending a prize turkey to the Crachit home for Christmas dinner. Scrooge has become a different man overnight, and now treats his fellow men with kindness, generosity, and compassion, gaining a reputation as a man who embodies the spirit of Christmas. The story closes with the narrator confirming the validity, completeness, and permanence of Scrooge's transformation.
