The Works of Charles and Mary Lamb ？ Volume 2 Elia and The Last Essays of Elia
Charles Lamb 试读
Charles Lamb (1775-1834) was an English essayist with Welsh heritage, best known for his Essays of Elia and for the children's book Tales from Shakespeare (1807), which he produced along with his sister, Mary Lamb (1764-1847). Charles and Mary both suffered periods of mental illness, and Charles spent six weeks in a psychiatric hospital during 1795. He was, however, already making his name as a poet. Despite Lamb's bouts of melancholia, both he and his sister enjoyed an active and rich social life. Their London quarters became a kind of weekly salon for many of the most outstanding theatrical and literary figures of the day. On her own, Mary Lamb published an epistolary work, Mrs Leicester's School (1809) which the poet Samuel Coleridge believed would and should be "acknowledged as a rich jewel in the treasury of our permanent English literature." Among their other famous works are: Specimens of English Dramatic Poets (1808) and Poetry for Children (1809).

Triumph of the Egg, and Other Stories
Sherwood Anderson 试读
Sherwood Anderson (1876-1941) was a novelist and short story writer who has been recognized as one of the most innovative and important American authors of his time. He was a prolific writer, publishing seven novels and myriad collections of essays, memoirs, poetry and short stories. Anderson wrote in a characteristically simple prose style, and his unconventional techniques caused him to at first be written off. However, his unique exploration of the unconscious and its effect on behavior created very vulnerable, human characters that evoke sympathy from readers. "Triumph of the Egg and Other Stories" is a collection of fifteen stories published in 1921. It includes some of his greatest works: "The Egg," a story about the struggle to find success and happiness in the American Midwest, "I'm a Fool," about a young man who sabotages his chance at love because of his own feelings of inferiority, and "I Want to Know Why," about the confusion and desperation felt by a boy entering adulthood.

A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthurs Court
Mark Twain 试读
This novel tells the story of Hank Morgan, the quintessential self-reliant New Englander who brings to King Arthur's Age of Chivalry the "great and beneficent" miracles of nineteenth-century engineering and American ingenuity. Through the collision of past and present, Twain exposes the insubstantiality of both utopias, destroying the myth of the romantic ideal as well as his own era's faith in scientific and social progress. A central document in American intellectual history, A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court is at once a hilarious comedy of anachronisms and incongruities, a romantic fantasy, a utopian vision, and a savage, anarchic social satire that only one of America's greatest writers could pen.

John Stuart Mill 试读
This two-volume work,first published in 1843,was John Stuart Mill's first major book.It reinvented the modern study of logic and laid the foundations for his later work in the areas of political economy,women's rights and representative government.In clear,systematic prose,Mill (1806 73) disentangles syllogistic logic from its origins in Aristotle and scholasticism and grounds it instead in processes of inductive reasoning.An important attempt at integrating empiricism within a more general theory of human knowledge,the work constitutes essential reading for anyone seeking a full understanding of Mill's thought.Volume 1 contains Mill's introduction,which elaborates upon his definition of logic as 'not the science of Belief,but the science of Proof,or Evidence'.It also discusses methods of logical reasoning propositions and syllogisms.Volume 2 contains 'On the Logic of the Moral Sciences',in which Mills applies empirical reasoning to human behaviour.

Barnaby Rudge – a tale of the Riots of eighty
Charles Dickens 试读
Charles Dickens's first historical novel–set during the anti—Catholic riots of 1780–is an unparalleled portrayal of the terror of a rampaging mob,seen through the eyes of the individuals swept up in the chaos. Those individuals include Emma,a Catholic,and Edward,a Protestant,whose forbidden love weaves through the heart of the story; and the simpleminded Barnaby,one of the riot leaders,whose fate is tied to a mysterious murder and whose beloved pet raven,Grip,embodies the mystical power of innocence. The story encompasses both the rarified aristocratic world and the volatile streets and nightmarish underbelly of London,which Dickens characteristically portrays in vivid,pulsating detail. But the real focus of the book is on the riots themselves,depicted with an extraordinary energy and redolent of the dangers,the mindlessness,and the possibilities–both beneficial and brutal–of the mob. One of the lesser—known novels,Barnaby Rudge is nonetheless among the most brilliant–and most terrifying–in Dickens's oeuvre.

Mansfield Park
简·奥斯汀 试读
"Mansfield Park"encompasses not only Jane Austen's great comedic gifts and her genius as a historian of the human animal,but her personal credo as well--her faith in a social order that combats chaos through civil grace, decency,and wit.At the novel's center is Fanny Price,the classic"poor cousin,"brought as a child to Mansfield Park by the rich Sir Thomas Bertram and his wife as an act of charity. Over time, Fanny comes to demonstrate forcibly those virtues Austen most admired: modesty, firm principles, and a loving heart. As Fanny watches her cousins Maria and Julia cast aside their scruples in dangerous flirtations (and worse),and as she herself resolutely resists the advantages of marriage to the fascinating but morally unsteady Henry Crawford,her seeming austerity grows in appeal and makes clear to us why she was Austen's own favorite among her heroines.
