Rites of Passage目录

Trudchen grew up hearing Odette's stories of their monster-slaying mother and a magician's curse. But now that Tru's older, she's starting to wonder if her older sister's tales were just comforting lies, especially because there's nothing fantastic about her own life—permanently disabled and in constant pain from childhood polio. In 1909, after a two-year absence, Od reappears with a suitcase supposedly full of weapons and a promise to rescue Tru from the monsters on their way to attack her. But it's Od who seems haunted by something. And when the sisters' search for their mother leads them to a face-off with the Leeds Devil, a nightmarish beast that's wreaking havoc in the Mid-Atlantic states, Tru discovers the peculiar possibility that she and her sister—despite their dark pasts and ordinary appearances—might, indeed, have magic after all.

Darkness Visible opens at the height of the London Blitz, when a naked child steps out of an all-consuming fire. Miraculously saved but hideously scarred, soon tormented at school and at work, Matty becomes a wanderer, a seeker after some unknown redemption. Two more lost children await him, twins as exquisite as they are loveless. Toni dabbles in political violence; Sophy, in sexual tyranny. As Golding weaves their destinies together, his book reveals both the inner and outer darkness of our world. "An intensity of vision without parallel." (TLS). "A vision of elemental reality so vivid we seem to hallucinate the scenes…Magic." (New York Times Book Review).

"Sophie Love's ability to impart magic to her readers is exquisitely wrought in powerfully evocative phrases and descriptions….This is the perfect romance or beach read, with a difference: its enthusiasm and beautiful descriptions offer an unexpected attention to the complexity of not just evolving love, but evolving psyches. It's a delightful recommendation for romance readers looking for a touch more complexity from their romance reads."--Midwest Book Review (Diane Donovan re For Now and Forever)FOR YOU, FOREVER is book #7 in the #1 bestselling romance series THE INN AT SUNSET HARBOR, which begins with For Now and Forever (book #1)—a free download!

生活之中的花锦诺，是一个彻彻底底的宅女，但这一觉醒来看到的这是什么鬼？草屋、破碗加单衣，没钱、没粮没暖炉，拜托，这可是深秋，呆在这里可是要冻死人的。“我是孤儿，得自己奋斗。”花锦诺叹了口气，“好吧。”撸起袖子就干。“我是庶女，就要嫁给大我十二岁老男人？”花锦诺挑了挑眉，淡定自若“不就是个老男人嘛，嫁就嫁吧。”“你说你女儿叫蒋……映雪？”花锦诺大惊失色，天哪？这可是她看的小说之中的女主，“算了，这个老男人我也不要，还是快跑吧。”花若锦收拾收拾包袱，晚上就去爬墙。墙下，老男人负手而立，挑眉看着摔得十分狼狈的花锦诺，“想要爬墙，可曾问过我？”

文人画亦称“士夫画”，泛指中国封建社会中文人、士大夫所作之画，以别于民间画工和宫廷画院职业画家的绘画。苏轼第一个比较全面地阐明了文人画理论，对于文人画体系的形成起到了决定性的作用。文人画是画中带有文人情趣，画外流露着文人思想的绘画。文人画在发展过程中，创作的主体始终是文人，创作的思想源泉是传统文化，在表现形式上，不断吸收宫廷和民问艺术，在复古和创新的交织中演进。
