繁体
作者 : 查尔斯·兰姆
兰姆的散文早已成为经典。这经典中都写了些什么呢？什么都写，涉及人生与社会的各个方面：读书、论画、说牌、叙旧、怀古、言情、修传、拾轶……总之，社会百般无所不谈。但其精彩还不在其题材和内容，而在他在这些题材和内容里发掘了赋予了新的意义。他作品有鲜明的个人特色，高度个性化的吐属中包含了众多不同的声音，清浅通俗的表达中伴随着凝重文雅的情调，亲切易解的文句中而兼具着古香古色的气氛，日常现实的题材中凝聚着传统与文化的积淀，民俗与历史的联想，诗情与画意的沾润，因而比一般文人笔下的东西丰富得多，具有了多方面的广阔与厚度。本文是一件多彩衣，一具百宝箱，一座众生相的活画廓和一部最迷人心魂的有趣的散文集。英国散文家查尔斯·兰姆（1775—1834）是与蒙田并列的具有世界声誉的一大家.兰姆在他的随笔中使用了一种特殊的文风，那是个性毕露、披肝沥胆的——读了他的随笔，就了解了他的个人经历、性格和感受。因此，他说过：他的随笔集，不需要序言来介绍，因为他的每篇随笔都是自己的序言。他的文章写得文白交错、迂回曲折而又跌宕多姿、妙趣横生——这是由他那不幸遭遇所形成的性格，以及他那博览群书所养成的杂学所整个决定的。他的风格像是突破了重重障碍、从大石下弯弯曲曲发芽生长、终于开放的一朵奇花。他的随．笔写作，是把个人的不幸升华为美妙的散文作品。他常常板着面孔说笑话。两剿伊利亚随笔肿贯串着一种别人无从模仿的幽默感。这种幽默乃是一颗善良的心所发出的含泪微笑。

明万历十五年，即公元1587年，在中国历史上原本是极其普通的年份。作者以该年前后的史事件及生活在那个时代的人物为中心，抽丝剥茧，梳理了中国传统社会管理层面存在的种种问题，并在此基础上探索现代中国应当涉取的经验和教训。作者以其大历史观而闻名于世，本书中这一观念初露头角，叙事不妨细致，但是结论却要看远不顾近。本书自80年代初在中国大陆出版以来，好评如潮，在学术界和文化界有广泛的影响。这本《万历十五年》，意在说明16世纪中国社会的传统的历史背景，也就是尚未与世界潮流冲突时的侧面形态。有了这样一个历史的大失败，就可以保证冲突既开，恢复故态决无可能，因之而给中国留下了一个翻天覆地、彻底创造历史的机缘。

本书收录了张小娴七十多篇散文随笔。我仍然记得，《贴身感觉》出版的第一天，我怀着战战兢兢的心情准备到香港书展会场去为读者签名。我根本不知道会不会有读者来找我签名，也不知道这本书的销量好不好。当我坐车往会场的途中，我收到出版社负责人的电话，她告诉我，有很多读者正在等我。那一刻对我来说，是永远难忘的。。随后的《面包树上的女人》是我第一部长篇小说，当时是首先在香港《明报》连载的、因为是每天写一段，所以事先并不知道结局，只是随着自己的感觉去写。今天看来，当然有许多粗糙的地方。

Awarded the Booker Prize in 1981, Midnight's Children is Salman Rushdie's most highly regarded work of fiction, though not his best known. That distinction belongs to The Satanic Verses, the 1988 novel that prompted Iran's Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, who considered the book blasphemous, to declare Rushdie an enemy of Islam and put a $1.5 million bounty on his head. But in Midnight's Children, Rushdie had already produced a novel that not only risks offending some readers, but also fiercely challenges our understanding of history, nationhood, and narrative.

The Bloody chamber And Other Stories
作者 : 安吉拉·卡特
Published in 1979, The Bloody Chamber and Other Stories, which received the Cheltenham Festival Literary Prize, retells classic fairy tales. Angela Carter revises Puss-in-Boots and Sleeping Beauty, for example, from an adult, twentieth-century perspective. Her renditions are intended to disturb and titillate her audience, instead of lulling it to sleep. The title story recasts the legend of Bluebeard, the mysterious French nobleman who murders his many wives. The legend, as recorded by the seventeenth-century author Charles Perrault, begins with the marriage of a girl to an eccentric, wealthy man. Called away on business, the newlywed husband leaves his wife the keys to every room and cabinet in the house. This keyring includes one key that she must not use: the one to the room at the end of the great gallery. Of course, she eventually enters the room forbidden to her. In it she finds the corpses of her husband's previous wives, all with their throats cut. Startled, the girl drops the key, which is enchanted and permanently stained by the blood on the floor. From this stain, Bluebeard discovers her disobedience. He raises his scimitar, but just in time, her brothers arrive to slay the murderer.Though it follows the original tale in basic structure, The Bloody Chamber adds details of character and setting that raise issues of sexual awakening and sexual depravity, of the will to live, and of life in hell. In having the young bride be the one to tell her story and in having her courageous mother come to the rescue, moreover, Carter revisits an age-old tale with her feminist viewpoint.

L. Frank Baum never imagined the impact The Wonderful Wizard of Oz would have on children's writing or the appeal the book would have to generations of readers. Although he wrote numerous books, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz is easily his most enduring. Baum wanted to write a fairy tale that was American, not European, although he introduced elements of traditional European fairy tales (witches, castles, forests) into the story. By presenting a female protagonist, casual language, characters such as the Scarecrow and the Tin Woodman, and settings such as Kansas, Baum created a new approach to children's writing that is distinctly American.Before The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, children's books were stilted morality tales designed to instruct or to frighten readers into behaving properly. Baum, however, presented a thrilling adventure from a child's point of view, showing the child's ability to solve her own problems and return to the security of her home.The Wonderful Wizard of Oz received praise from critics and readers alike. Critics applauded Baum's simple storytelling, his message, and his imaginative, believable characters. Readers fell in love with the wonders of Oz and demanded more books about this enchanted land. Although the book did not win any awards during Baum's lifetime, it was given the Lewis Carroll Shelf Award in 1968.
