`The road to the City of Emeralds is paved with yellow brick,' said the Witch; `so you cannot miss it. When you get to Oz do not be afraid of him, but tell your story and ask him to help you.' A cyclone hits Kansas and whirls away Dorothy and her little dog Toto to the magical Land of Oz, where wild beasts talk, silver shoes have magic powers, and good witches offer protection with a kiss. But Dorothy has made an enemy of the Wicked Witch of the West. With her new friends the Scarecrow, the Tin Woodman, and the Cowardly Lion, they brave many dangers in search of the Wonderful Wizard in his Emerald City at the heart of Oz to ask him to grant each of them what they most desire - only to find that they already possess it. Published at the dawn of the twentieth century, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz (1900) immediately captivated child and adult readers alike. This new edition includes many of W. W. Denslow's original illustrations, and the introduction considers both the famous MGM film version and recent literary theory in a fascinating discussion of this children's classic. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

从十五世纪下半叶起，以意大利为发源地，欧洲进入了文艺复兴时期。正如恩格斯曾经指出的，这是一次人类从来没有经历过的最伟大的、进步的变化，是一个需要巨人的时代，而且产生了巨人——在思维能力、热情和性格方面，在多才多艺和学识渊博方面的巨人时代。尼科洛·马基雅维里正是这个伟大时代的巨人之一。他是意大利佛罗伦萨的政治家、外交家，同时也是一位政治思想家。同时也是第一个使政治学独立，同伦理家彻底分家的人，有“资产阶级政治学奠基人”之称，并且是历史家、军事著作者、诗人和剧作家。
在作者的几部学术名著中，《君主论》是最小的一部，但也是最有名的，它使马基雅维里身后获得举世周知的名声。

Dear Reader， I m sorry to say that the book you are holding in your hands is extremely unpleasant. It tells an unhappy tale about three very unlucky children. Even though they are charming and clever， the Baudelaire siblings lead lives filled with misery and woe. From the very first page of this book when the children are at the beach and receive terrible news， continuing on through the entire story， disaster lurks at their heels. One might say they are magnets for misfortune.In this short book alone， the three youngsters encounter a greedy and repulsive villain， itchy clothing， a disastrous fire， a plot to steal their fortune， and cold porridge for breakfast.It is my sad duty to write down these unpleasant tales， but there is nothing stopping you from putting this book down at once and reading something happy， if you prefer that sort of thing.With all due respect，Lemony Snicket

Dumbledore lowered his hands and surveyed Harry through his half-moon glasses. It is time, he said, for me to tell you what I should have told you five years ago, Harry. Please sit down. I am going to tell you everything. Harry Potter is due to start his fifth year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizadry. He is desperate to get back to school and find out why his friends Ron and Hermione have been so secretive all summer. However, what Harry is about to discover in his new year at Hogwarts will turn his whole world upside down ... But before he even gets to school, Harry has an unexpected and frightening encounter with two Dementors, has to face a court hearing at the Ministry of Magic and has been escorted on a night-time broomstick ride to the secret headquarters of a mysterious group called The Order of the Phoenix . And that is just the start. A gripping and electrifying novel, full of suspense, secrets, and - of course - magic.

The summer holidays are dragging on and Harry Potter can't wait for the start of the school year. It is his fourth year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and there are spells to be learnt and (unluckily) Potions and Divination lessons to be attended. But Harry can't know that the atmosphere is darkening around him, and his worst enemy is preparing a fate that it seems will be inescapable ...With characteristic wit, fast-paced humour and marvellous emotional depth, J.K. Rowling has proved herself yet again to be a master story-teller.

Harry Potter is a wizard.He is in his second year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.Little does he know that this year will be just as eventful as the last…
