A Descent into the Maelstrom 莫斯可漩涡沉溺记(英文版)

状态:连载作者:(美)Edgar Allan Poe
0000.7万字

This is couched as a story within a story, a tale told at the summit of a mountain climb in Lofoten, Norway. The story is told by an old man who reveals that he only appears old? "You suppose me a very old man," he says, "but I am not. It took less than a single day to change these hairs from a jetty black to white, to weaken my limbs, and to unstring my nerves." The narrator, convinced by the power of the whirlpools he sees in the ocean beyond, is then told of the "old" man's fishing trip with his two brothers a few years ago. Driven by "the most terrible hurricane that ever came out of the heavens", their ship was caught in the vortex.

  • Mary Barton(V) 玛丽·巴顿(英文版)

    Mary Barton(V) 玛丽·巴顿(英文版)

    Mary Barton is the first novel published in 1848 by English author Elizabeth Gaskell. The story is set in Manchester, and deals with the difficulties faced by the Victorian lower class. It is a subject of some debate whether the first person narrator in Mary Barton is synonymous with Gaskell. The story begins in Manchester, where we are introduced to the Bartons and the Wilsons, two working-class families. John Barton is a questioner of the distribution of wealth and the relations between rich and poor. Soon his wife dies—he blames it on her grief over the disappearance of her sister Esther. Having already lost his son Tom at a young age, Barton is left to raise his daughter, Mary, alone and now falls into depression and begins to involve himself in the Chartist, trade-union movement.

Molly forms a close attachment with Mrs. Hamley, who embraces her almost as a daughter. Molly also befriends the younger son, Roger. Molly is aware that she would not be considered a suitable match for the sons of Squire Hamley because of her status. However, she has always preferred Roger's good sense and honourable character and soon falls in love with him. Unfortunately, Roger falls in love with other girl. Molly is heartbroken, and struggles with her sorrow and her knowledge that the girl lacks affection for Roger.
