  • 你往何处去(英文版)

    你往何处去(英文版)

    长篇历史小说《你往何处去》是波兰作家显克威支的代表作,出版发行于1896年,写的是公元一世纪中叶古罗马在尼禄皇帝的统治之下走向衰落和早期基督教徒罹难的故事。作者因这部作品获得1905年诺贝尔文学奖。作品名字来源于1893年显克微支第二次重游罗马时,看到古卡丕城门附近一座小教堂门楣上用拉丁文写的“你往何处去”的题词。这句题词是早期基督教徒遭受迫害的史迹。传说被追捕的基督使徒彼得匆匆逃离罗马城,在路上问耶稣:“主啊,你往何处去?”耶稣回答说:“你既然遗弃了我的人民,我便要回罗马去,让他们再次把我钉在十字架上。”彼得于是返回罗马城,不久便真的被钉上了十字架。早期基督教徒为信仰献身的精神,深深触动了作者的灵感,震撼了作者的心灵。他决定用这句题词作为书名,再现尼禄统治下那个充满血和泪的时代。作品被两次改编成电影。1951年上映的《暴君屠城录》,在1952年第24届奥斯卡颁奖会中,获得包括最佳电影等7项提名,值得一看。2001年《你往何处去》再次登上银幕。

  • Pacific Onslaught

    Pacific Onslaught

    Japan had mighty ambitions—to control the Western Pacific. The attack on Pearl Harbor devastated the American Pacific fleet, their primary obstacle, and they swept across the region. What ensued was a bitter struggle in which many thousands of soldiers lost their lives on both sides.This is the first book in Paul Kennedy's chronicle of the Pacific conflict in World War II, concluded in Pacific Victory. Featuring a new introduction by the author, this book provides a close, step-by-step narrative of the Japanese expansion into the Western Pacific during some of the most brutal years of World War II. Offering contemporary analysis of war strategy, it includes a riveting look at Japan's tightening grip on Hong Kong, New Guinea, the Philippines, and other key strategic locations—and the Allies' inexorable struggle against it. These works on the War in the Pacific are as gripping today as when they were first published.
