No Man's Land
'The work of our best living playwright in its command of the language and its power to erect a coherent structure in a twilight zone of confusion and dismay.' The TimesDo Hirst and Spooner really know each other, or are they performing an elaborate charade? The ambiguity - and the comedy - intensify with the arrival of Briggs and Foster. All four inhabit a no-man's-land between time present and a time remembered, between reality and pgsk.com Man's Land was first presented at the National Theatre at the Old Vic, London, in 1975, revived at the Almeida Theatre, London, with Harold Pinter as Hirst and revived by the National Theatre, directed by Harold Pinter, in 2001.The Penelopiad
Margaret Atwood returns with a shrewd, funny, and insightful retelling of the myth of Odysseus from the point of view of Penelope. Describing her own remarkable vision, the author writes in the foreword, I've chosen to give the telling of the story to Penelope and to the twelve hanged maids. The maids form a chanting and singing Chorus, which focuses on two questions that must pose themselves after any close reading of the Odyssey: What led to the hanging of the maids, and what was Penelope really up to? The story as told in the Odyssey doesn't hold water: there are too many inconsistencies. I've always been haunted by the hanged maids and, in The Penelopiad, so is Penelope herself." One of the high points of literary fiction in 2005, this critically acclaimed story found a vast audience and is finally available in paperback.Night Train to Lisbon

老残游记(精装典藏本)
《老残游记》是小说家刘鹗的代表作,被鲁迅先生评为晚清四大谴责小说之一,后翻译成多国文字,在国内外影响巨大。小说以一位走方郎中老残的游历为主线,对社会矛盾进行深度开掘,尤其是他在书中敢于直斥清官误国、清官害民,指出有时清官的昏庸并不比贪官好多少。这一点对清廷官场的批判是切中时弊、独具慧眼的。英文爱藏:转个弯人生更开阔

我认为,人有两次诞生。第一次,是生理学意义上的;第二次,是社会学意义上的。人类文明的推进,依靠文化的历代积累,知识的薪火相传。一个没受过学校教育的人,是很难适应社会的,尤其是在文明程度越来越高的今天与明天。从这个意义上说,学校是人所必经的第二个母体;获得一定的文化知识,踏出学校步入社会,则为人的第二次诞生。这个过程,正所谓“呱呱之子,各识其亲;譊譊之学,各习其师”。
