Red Saunders Pets and Other Critters

"Of all the worlds I ever broke into, this one's the most curious," said Red. "And one of the curiousest things in it is that I think it's queer. Why should I, now? What put it into our heads that affairs ought to go so and so and so, when they never do anything of the sort?

The Celtic Twilight
William Butler Yeats 试读
Born and educated in Dublin, Ireland, William Butler Yeats (1865-1939) discovered early in his literary career a fascination with Irish folklore and the occult. Later awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1923, Yeats produced a vast collection of stories, songs, and poetry of Ireland's historical and legendary past. "The Celtic Twilight" includes forty-two Celtic folklore tales, and Yeats makes no secret of his fascination and even belief in the world of the occult and the existence of faeries. Yeats' passion in these tales comes forth through the pages and adds a new dimension to these age-old tales. Though the stories are short in length, there is no scarcity of depth.

A Crooked Path A Novel
Mrs. Alexander 试读
The London season had not yet reached its height, some years ago, before the arch admitting to Constitution Hill had been swept back to make room for the huge, ever-increasing stream of traffic, or the plebeian 'bus had been permitted to penetrate the precincts of Hamilton Place. It was the forenoon of a splendid day, one of the earliest of June, and at that hour the roadway between the entrance to Hyde Park and the gate then surmounted by the statue of the Duke of Wellington on his drooping steed was comparatively free, when two gentlemen coming from opposite directions recognized each other, and paused at the gate of Apsley House—the elder, a stout, florid man of military aspect, middle age, and average height, with large gray mustache and small, slightly bloodshot eyes; the younger, who was tall and bony, might have been thirty, or even forty, so grave and sedate was his bearing, although his erect carriage, elastic step, and clear keen dark eyes suggested earlier manhood.

Don Rodriguez; chronicles of Shadow Valley
Plunkett,Edward J. M. D.,Lord Dunsany 试读
After long and patient research I am still unable to give to the reader of these Chronicles the exact date of the times that they tell of. Were it merely a matter of history there could be no doubts about the period but where magic is concerned, to however slight an extent, there must always be some element of mystery, arising partly out of ignorance and partly from the compulsion of those oaths by which magic protects its precincts from the tiptoe of curiosity. Moreover, magic, even in small quantities, appears to affect time, much as acids affect some metals, curiously changing its substance, until dates seem to melt into a mercurial form that renders them elusive even to the eye of the most watchful historian. It is the magic appearing in Chronicles III and IV that has gravely affected the date, so that all I can tell the reader with certainty of the period is that it fell in the later years of the Golden Age in Spain.

I, Thou, and the Other One A Love Story
Amelia Edith Huddleston Barr 试读
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.

The Romance of Golden Star ..
George Chetwynd Griffith 试读
'Ah, what a thing it would be for us if his Inca Highness were really only asleep, as he looks to be! Just think what he could tell us—how easily he could re-create that lost wonderland of his for us, what riddles he could answer, what lies he could contradict. And then think of all the lost treasures that he could show us the way to. Upon my word, if Mephistopheles were to walk into this room just now, I think I should be tempted to make a bargain with him. Do you know, Djama, I believe I would give half the remainder of my own life, whatever that may be, to learn the secrets that were once locked up in that withered, desiccated brain of his.'

李鸿章传(精品公版)
梁启超 试读
公源计划之名家梁启超,近代史上一位百科全书式的人物,读懂梁启超,就读懂了中国近代史。 梁启超说:“四十年来,中国大事,几无一不与李鸿章有关系。”从一个人可以看到一个民族的四十年,这样的人物无论如何都应该被重视和铭记。《李鸿章传》从李鸿章的早年落拓,写到他镇压太平天国,继而办洋务运动使其声望达到顶点,再到甲午战争撞碎其强国梦,迅速由盛而衰,最后只能周旋于列强间直至死去。甲午年洋务运动的破产,让人感到“以一人而战一国”的无望与悲恸,梁启超也由此发出“吾敬李鸿章之才,吾惜李鸿章之识,吾悲李鸿章之遇”的感叹。梁先生把李鸿章与曾国藩、张之洞、俾斯麦、加富尔、伊藤博文等人做了比较,指出李鸿章是怀着忍辱负重、死而后已之心为清政府“修修补补”的,只不过他缺少长远的政治眼光,不懂得为后世立百年大计。李鸿章不懂得现代民主政治的特点和国民的地位、国民在现代国际竞争中的作用、政府与民众的关系,因此在国际竞争中处处落于下风、处处受制。他的失败也就是晚清政府的失败,是晚清政府不了解世界大势、不懂得民主政治的必然结局。
