宽容
《宽容》内容简介:宗教史上的对立与融合、迫害与反迫害,历来是个复杂而敏感的问题。房龙以他犀利的眼光,从不同宗教派别的冲突中去寻找背后的深层根源。最终他看到:历史上的宗教改革家假以“宗教改革”的名义,对一切不利于自己发展的思想创新进行残酷迫害,这种精神上的不宽容导致的恰是他们的“敌人”犯下的那些错误。借助于房龙的“宽容”之眼,我们不难对宗教史乃至一切精神文化现象的发展有一个清晰的轮廓。 -
Vanity Fair
在线阅读本书 "Vanity Fair", Thackeray's panoramic, satirical saga of corruption at all levels of English society, was published in 1847 but set during the Napoleonic Wars. It chronicles the lives of two women who could not be more different: Becky Sharp, an orphan whose only resources are her vast ambitions, her native wit, and her loose morals; and her schoolmate Amelia Sedley, a typically naive Victorian heroine, the pampered daughter of a wealthy family. Becky's fluctuating fortunes eventually bring her to an affair with Amelia's dissolute husband; when he is killed at Waterloo, Amelia and her child are left penniless, while Becky and her husband Rawdon Crawley rise in the world, managing to lead a high life in London solely on the basis of their shrewdness.(The chapter entitled "How to Live on Nothing" is a classic.) Thackeray's subtitle, "A Novel Without a Hero," is understating the case; his view of humanity in this novel is distinctly bleak and deliberately antiheroic. Critics of the time misunderstood the book, decrying it as (among other things) vicious, vile, and odious. But "Vanity Fair" has endured as one of the great comic novels of all time, and a landmark in the history of realism in fiction. -

Gulliver's Travels
Lemuel Gulliver, a surgeon on a merchant ship, is shipwrecked on the strange island of Lilliput where the inhabitants are only six inches tall. After they overcome their timidity about the giant in their midst, Gulliver becomes embroiled in the islanders petty disputes about such issues as whether it is better to break an egg at the big end or the little end, the rivalry between those who wear high heels and those who prefer low heels, and the ridiculous pomposity of their miniature emperor. This is not the end of Gulliver s adventures, for he later finds himself on Brobdingnag, where the natives are incredibly tall; the flying island of Laputo, where they intellectualise from dawn till dusk; and, finally, the country of the wise " Houyhnhnms and the vulgar Yahoos. All human life is satirised here, from politicians to priests and philosophers to poets. And yes, the truth is that we re all Yahoos. -
