Oracle Bones 豆瓣 Goodreads
9.4 (26 个评分) 作者: Peter Hessler HarperCollins 2006 - 5
From the acclaimed author of River Town comes a rare portrait, both intimate and epic, of twenty-first-century China as it opens its doors to the outside world. A century ago, outsiders saw Chinaas a place where nothing ever changes. Today the coun-try has become one of the most dynamic regions on earth. That sense of time—the contrast between past and present, and the rhythms that emerge in a vast, ever-evolving country—is brilliantly illuminated by Peter Hessler in Oracle Bones , a book that explores the human side of China's transformation. Hessler tells the story of modern-day China and its growing links to the Western world as seen through the lives of a handful of ordinary people. In addition to the author, an American writer living in Beijing, the narrative follows Polat, a member of a forgotten ethnic minority, who moves to the United States in searchof freedom; William Jefferson Foster, who grew up in an illiterate family and becomes a teacher; Emily,a migrant factory worker in a city without a past; and Chen Mengjia, a scholar of oracle-bone inscriptions, the earliest known writing in East Asia, and a man whosetragic story has been lost since the Cultural Revolution. All are migrants, emigrants, or wanderers who find themselves far from home, their lives dramatically changed by historical forces they are struggling to understand. Peter Hessler excavates the past and puts a remarkable human face on the history he uncovers. In a narrative that gracefully moves between the ancient and the present, the East and the West, Hessler captures the soul of a country that is undergoing a momentous change before our eyes.
Jane Eyre 豆瓣
8.4 (8 个评分) 作者: Charlotte Brontë Bantam Classics 1983 - 10
Jane Eyre (originally published as Jane Eyre: An Autobiography) is a novel by English writer Charlotte Brontë, published under the pen name "Currer Bell", on 16 October 1847, by Smith, Elder & Co. of London, England. The first American edition was published the following year by Harper & Brothers of New York.[citation needed]
Primarily a bildungsroman, Jane Eyre follows the experiences of its eponymous heroine, including her growth to adulthood and her love for Mr. Rochester, the Byronic master of Thornfield Hall. The focus is on the gradual unfolding of Jane's moral and spiritual sensibility, and Jane Eyre revolutionised the art of fiction in the way that all the events are coloured by a heightened intensity that was previously the domain of poetry. Charlotte Brontë has been called the 'first historian of the private consciousness' and the literary ancestor of writers like Proust and Joyce. The novel contains elements of social criticism, with a strong sense of Christian morality at its core, and is considered by many to be ahead of its time because of Jane's individualistic character and how the novel approaches the topics of class, sexuality, religion, and feminism.

西潮 豆瓣
作者: 蔣夢麟 名田文化(業強)
本書記錄了自1842年到1941年在中國發生的重要事件,尤其後半段時期多為作者的親身見證,細讀全書,我們除了在歷史事件的骨架上,發現文化生命消長的脈動之外,更可以領略情意綿綿邈的文思與筆觸,以及冷靜沈注的哲理與智慧。
郝柏村解讀蔣公日記 一九四五~一九四九 豆瓣
作者: 郝柏村 天下文化 2011 - 6
蔣介石日記(1917 ~ 1972)自2006年開始,已於美國胡佛研究院陸續公開,全球學者專家紛往審閱、研讀,掀起一波波蔣介石研究的熱潮。而1945年到1949年,是中華民國歷史上翻天覆地巨變的五年,這段期間的日記,更受矚目。
親歷這五年巨變的郝柏村,1949年後,歷任中華民國參謀總長、國防部長。並曾於1965年到1971年間,擔任總統府侍衛長,親炙蔣介石多年。近年來,幾個問題常在他心中盤旋:為何國民政府要接受雅爾達密約?馬歇爾調停國共紛爭為什麼會失敗?為什麼堅持動員戡亂?為什麼國軍在軍事戰略上,始終犯同樣的錯誤而不知調整?
向歷史提問後的反饋,以及對公開日記史料的深掘,促成郝柏村以四年的時間,寫下近二十萬字「解讀」蔣介石日記的外交與軍事紀錄,將中華民國在大陸最後五年的軍事與談判失敗過程,對比當年的沙場經歷,以及與日記所及人物的互動、軍事外交的見解等,帶領讀者重回歷史現場,在硝煙彈雨中,重建兩岸分野的關鍵時點。

作者: 胡頌平 聯經 1984 - 5
胡頌平,浙江溫州人,他是前中華民國中央研究院院長胡適1958年至1962年去世前的秘書。
胡頌平編過《胡適之先生譜長編初稿》,全書長達三百餘萬字,是研究胡適的必備參考書。胡適晚年常同他談到一些歷史、文化、人物,胡頌平都記在《胡適之先生晚年談話錄》裡,他曾經想讓胡適看這些記錄,但胡適最後還是沒看,胡適說「你還是當做我不知道的記下去,不要給我看」。唐德剛在《民主先生與自由男神》一文中曾暗示胡頌平本來是奉命監控胡適,但後來竟成了「胡學」的「程門立雪派」。

The Problem of China 豆瓣
作者: Bertrand Russell BiblioBazaar 2007 - 2
A European lately arrived in China, if he is of a receptive and reflective disposition, finds himself confronted with a number of very puzzling questions, for many of which the problems of Western Europe will not have prepared him. Russian problems, it is true, have important affinities with those of China, but they have also important differences; moreover they are decidedly less complex.
The Elements of Style, Fourth Edition 豆瓣
9.2 (55 个评分) 作者: William Strunk Jr. / E. B. White Longman 1999 - 8
这是一本薄薄的小书。首版于1918年由纽约一家出版社出版。作者William Strunk,康耐尔大学英语教授,E.B.怀特对此书加以了修正。此书短小精悍,容量巨大。涵盖了母语英语的人写作和用法上常出的错误,也清晰地解释了一些语法书中很难找到的语言现象。虽然是为说英语的学生所写,但对于任何需要进一步了解英文用法,进而学习书写英文的人,这本书必不可少的。
一知半解及其他 豆瓣
作者: 温源宁 辽宁教育出版社 2001 - 10
《一知半解及其他》:“世界七奇,不对,应该说世界八奇:我就是第八奇。”吴赉熙先生这样说;你瞧着他,你就微笑了,又不愿失礼,只好在内心里同意他那句其实是很符合实际的断语。
他又高又瘦,像一根竹竿,他的头不像别的,就像个拖把,无论跟谁在一起,吴先生也惹人注意。他那一对大耳朵,支棱起来,跟脑袋成直角,实在算得上“一奇”,叫人一见就觉得有趣。然而,那一双陷在深深的眼窝里的又大又黑的眼睛,似乎与天相通,看得见凡人没见过或没听说过的东西,把“人皆有死”的想法传递给你,把你禁不住要笑的感觉立刻压下去了。
七十年代 豆瓣
8.3 (18 个评分) 作者: 北島 / 李陀 牛津大學出版社 2008
這是一本收錄了三十篇記憶文字的集子,內容很集中,都是對「七十年代」的追憶和回顧。對很多人來說,那一段歲月雖然不過是三四十年前的事,時間不算很長,可是感覺上,已經是屬於上個世紀的一個非常遙遠的年代了。在那些年代裏究竟發生了些甚麼事,有如影像早已漫漶不清的老照片,只留下了一點依稀的影子,難以辨認,也難以追尋。但是,我們相信,凡是讀過此書的讀者都會發現,原來那一段生活和歷史並沒有在忘卻的深淵裏淹沒,它們竟然在這本書的一篇篇的文字裏復活,栩栩如生,鮮活如昨。
