0005.0万字

Nestled deep in the South is a tiny Academy that teaches classes in the most important subject in the world: the domestic arts. The Academy's unique curriculum includes everything from cocktail-party etiquette to business entertaining, dealing with household guests, and cooking for the holidays. Here, after a little gentle instruction from Deans Pollak and Manigault, interspersed with plenty of humor, students find they are living healthier, having stronger ties to friends and family, and using their houses to branch out in ways they never dreamed possible. Since not everyone can get to their sold-out classes in Charleston, the Deans are now offering this book so happier living can be within everyone's grasp, not just the select few.

    Fly By Night

    Everybody knew that books were dangerous. Read the wrong book, it was said, and the words crawled around your brain on black legs and drove you mad, wicked mad. Mosca Mye was born at a time sacred to Goodman Palpitattle, He Who Keeps Flies out of Jams and Butterchurns, which is why her father insisted on naming her after the housefly. He also insisted on teaching her to read—even in a world where books are dangerous, regulated things. Eight years later, Quillam Mye died, leaving behind an orphaned daughter with an inauspicious name and an all-consuming hunger for words. Trapped for years in the care of her cruel Uncle Westerly and Aunt Briony, Mosca leaps at the opportunity for escape, though it comes in the form of sneaky swindler Eponymous Clent. As she travels the land with Clent and her pet goose, Saracen, Mosca begins to discover complicated truths about the world she inhabits and the power of words.

    楚辞(中华国学经典精粹)

    《楚辞》是我国古代一部重要的诗歌作品集。《楚辞》之所以称为“楚”,是因为它的声韵、歌调、思想乃至精神风貌,都带有鲜明的楚地特点。从形式上看,《楚辞》打破了《诗经》以四言为主的句式,而代之以五、六言乃至七、八言的长句句式,并保留了咏唱中的叹声词“兮”;从体制上看,它突破了《诗经》以短章、复叠为主的局限,发展成为“有节有章”的长篇巨幅,更适合表现繁复的社会生活内容和抒写在较大时段跨度中经历的复杂情感。
