Nobel Prize winner Samuel Beckett was one of the most profoundly original writers of the 20th century. He gave expression to the anguish and isolation of the individual consciousness with a purity and minimalism that have altered the shape of world literature. A tremendously influential poet and dramatist, Beckett spoke of his prose fiction as the "important writing," the medium in which he distilled his ideas most powerfully. Here, for the first time, his short prose is gathered in a definitive, complete volume by leading Beckett scholar S. E. Gontarski.

'I read a book one day, and my whole life was changed'. So begins "e;The New Life"e;, Orhan Pamuk's fabulous road novel about a young student who yearns for the life promised by a dangerously magical book. He falls in love, abandons his studies, turns his back on home and family, and embarks on restless bus trips through the provinces, in pursuit of an elusive vision. This is a wondrous odyssey, laying bare the rage of an arid heartland. In coffee houses with black-and-white TV sets, on buses where passengers ride watching B-movies on flickering screens, in wrecks along the highway, in paranoid fictions with spies as punctual as watches, the magic of Pamuk's creation comes alive.

现代物理学研究认为，宇宙中存在黑洞、白洞和虫洞。黑洞具有超强的吸附力，物质一旦陷落进去便无法逃脱；白洞与黑洞恰好相反，其不但不吸收物质，还不断向外释放物质；虫洞即爱因斯坦最早提出的时空隧道，是介于黑洞与白洞之间的桥梁。在《虫洞》一书中，作者以白洞隐喻生命之诞生，以虫洞隐喻生命之旅程，以黑洞隐喻生命之死亡，试图围绕虫洞这一神秘的天体物理现象和物质运行规律重新认识世界和解读生命。

楚人以祝融为始祖，其历史的起点，原本在神话与传说之中。历经筚路蓝缕的岁月之后，楚国得以崛起于南方。楚人有着“蜚将冲天”、“鸣将惊人”的雄心，“抚有蛮夷”、“以属诸夏”的气魄，终于在春秋中期跻身五霸之列。然而在取得这样的成就后，政变与内乱让楚国招致了吴师入郢的巨大外患，实力大损。战国时代，楚国用吴起变法以求打破困局，为国家带来起色，楚国一度达到了强大和繁荣的顶点。但在怀王时代，遭遇连番挫折，势力顿衰。此后，郢都沦陷，半壁河山被秦人占领。楚人虽亡羊补牢，但已经无法改变“六王毕，四海一”的趋势。秦末起义中，“楚虽三户，亡秦必楚”，又给八百余年的楚国史留下了一个长长的尾声。

语言是一门艺术，亦是通于人情世故大门的关键；换言之人情世故，大半蕴藏于语言中。然良好的口才并不是天生而是可以通过学习和训练塑造出来的。再者人不是孤立存在于世，都是在与他人的交往中生存，而语言则是我们用来交往的基本手段。故本书通过大量贴近生活的事例和精炼的要点，使读者认识到表达的重要性，以及如何才能让自己更会说话，能迅速练就“三寸不烂之舌”。
