Conversation in the Cathedral目录

This short novel that is told with almost fable-like simplicity: Matt Harper is a first-time counselor at a boy's summer camp when he witnesses a casual brutality that leads to murder. The bullying, gluttonous headman Ed Nolan (who has "reduced Camp Pleasant to a microcosm of the Third Reich") is portrayed as one stereotype that the reader is not sorry to see killed off. Instead, all of our sympathy is reserved for the possible suspects: Merv Loomis, the homosexual counselor Nolan humiliates into quitting; the troubled ten-year-old Tony Rocca; Nolan's meek wife, Ellen; and several others. The setting and tone have the distinct feel of the early 1950s, but a casual reference to actress Catherine Deneuve places the action in the mid-60s or later.

'Each year Eliot's presence reasserts itself at a deeper level, to an audience that is surprised to find itself more chastened, more astonished, more humble.' Ted Hughes Poet, dramatist, critic and editor, T. S. Eliot was one of the defining figures of twentieth-century poetry. This edition of Collected Poems 1909-1962 includes his verse from Prufrock and Other Observations (1917) to Four Quartets (1943), and includes such literary landmarks as The Waste Land and Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats.

In Portland in 1983, girls are disappearing. Noah, a teen punk with a dark past, becomes obsessed with finding out where they've gone —and he's convinced their disappearance has something to do with the creepy German owners of a local brewery, the PfefferBrau Haus. Noah worries about the missing girls as a way of avoiding the fact that something's seriously wrong with his best friend, Evan. Could it be the same dark force that's pulling them all down? When the PfefferBrau Haus opens its doors for a battle of the bands, Noah pulls his band, the Gallivanters, back together in order to get to the bottom of the mystery. But there's a new addition to the band: an enigmatic David Bowie look-alike named Ziggy. And secrets other than where the bodies are buried will be revealed. From Edgar-nominated author M. J. Beaufrand, this is a story that gets to the heart of grief and loss while also being hilarious, fast paced, and heartbreaking.

“交易的成功，往往是口才的产物”，这是美国“超级推销大王”——弗兰克·贝特格近三十年推销生涯的经验总结。因此，可以这样说，对于销售人员，哪里有声音，哪里就有了力量；哪里有口才，哪里也就吹晌了战斗的号角，进而也就有了成功的希望。所谓“一人之辩，重于九鼎之宝；三寸之舌，强于百万之师。”口才的影响力将会贯穿于销售工作的整个过程，而推销口才的好坏，也将会在每一个环节上，对推销工作的成败产生决定性的影响。可以毫不夸张的说，销售的成功在很大程度上可以归结为推销人员对口才的合理运用与发挥。

俗话说:牙医虐我千百遍，我待牙医如初恋。婚前被牙医虐，她白芷千算万算没算到婚后还要被牙医虐。问白芷婚前怕什么，答:天不怕地不怕，就怕老妈逼相亲。问白芷婚后怕什么，答:天不怕地不怕，就怕腹黑男王臣。第一话，白芷:“你是不是喜欢我？”王臣:“不喜欢。”白芷:“那还好，我也不喜欢你，如果你喜欢我，我会很内疚的。”王臣脸上流过几道黑线。第二话，白芷:“老实交代，上次在你休息室里坐着的漂亮姐姐和你什么关系。”王臣:“没关系。”白芷:“你骗人，我都看见她对你眉来眼去了，还不承认。”王臣:“我的整颗心都被你占的满满的，装不下别人了。”白芷得意的拍了拍他的头，像对小孩一样说:“乖，睡觉吧。”第三话，王臣想要躺床上休息，白芷死活不让。拽着被子占了一大半的地方。“白芷，你又抽什么疯？”掀开被子就躺到里面。“什么味道？”白芷特别尴尬。“我刚刚放了个臭屁。”看着脸越来越黑的王臣，白芷心虚的说:“我都让你先别进来了。”总之白芷自从遇到王医生以后，老虎变成猫。都市，甜宠，总之是一个腹黑牙医与糊涂女作家的故事

姐姐凤玉的身后是弟弟映冰。两人一前一后，都在爬。后半夜那场雨，只是淋湿了地皮，路面恰好软滑，适宜爬行。但是，只爬了五六米，映冰就埋下头，没动静了。凤玉也停下来，把脸歪在手背上喘着气。几分钟后，凤玉想起自己是姐姐，就咬咬牙再度爬起来。她用脚尖敲敲地，映冰却毫无反应。她想，坏了，映冰的丝断了，先是爸爸的丝断了，再是弟弟的丝断了，看样子男人的丝才是丝，说断就断。她打算先回家给妈妈说一声，然后再出来。这时映冰抬起头对她一笑，笑容里沾了几片泥巴。两人重新向前爬，显得颇有信心。他们知道苜蓿地并不远，爬出巷道，向北一拐就到了。
