A Kiss for Queens (A Throne for Sisters—Book Six)目录

Originally published in 1965, The Painted Bird established Jerzy Kosinski as a major literary figure. Kosinski's story follows a dark-haired, olive-skinned boy, abandoned by his parents during World War II, as he wanders alone from one village to another, sometimes hounded and tortured, only rarely sheltered and cared for. Through the juxtaposition of adolescence and the most brutal of adult experiences, Kosinski sums up a Bosch-like world of harrowing excess where senseless violence and untempered hatred are the norm. Through sparse prose and vivid imagery, Kosinski's novel is a story of mythic proportion, even more relevant to today's society than it was upon its original publication.

作为20世纪初叶现代文学的鼻祖，卡夫卡一向以情节怪诞、内容深刻的小说著称于世，他在散文、随笔方面的创作虽贯穿其终生，而且其成就亦不亚于他的各类小说，却因卡夫卡的此类作品大多散见于本人书信、日记及杂感中，常常为一般读者所忽略。本书从全集中遴选作者思致深邃、文笔精美的片段，分告白、友情交流、爱情倾泻、随感、等几个部分，既有利于读者从整体上把握卡夫卡的散文风格，亦可以蠡测海，在有限的篇幅内细细品味栖居于布拉格保险公司办公室内的这位奥匈帝国晚期的作家、思想家的华美的文学盛馔。

中国古代选举制度既是选拔人才的制度，同时又是一种选官制度和文化制度。它经历了远古时代的“禅让制”、封建贵族的“世袭制”、两汉的“察举制”、魏晋南北朝时期的九品中正制及隋唐明清的“科举制”等发展阶段。大致分为以隋唐为分界线的“荐举”与“科举”考试选拔官吏的两种制度。郭强编著的《中国古代选举制度》介绍了科举制度的创立、发展、改革完善、科举制度的鼎盛和终结等内容
