PRESS

Sir, before you became Minister of Culture I believe you were the head of the Secret Police.

MINISTER

That is correct.

PRESS

Do you find any contradiction between those two roles?

MINISTER

None whatsoever. As head of Secret Police it was my responsibility, specifically, to protect and to safeguard our cultural inheritance against forces which were intent upon subverting it. We were defending ourselves against the worm. And we still are.

PRESS

The worm?

MINISTER

The worm.

PRESS

As head of the Secret Police what was your policy towards children?

MINISTER

We saw children as a threat if – that is – they were the children of subversive families.

PRESS

So how did you employ your policy towards them?

MINISTER

We abducted them and brought them up properly or we killed them.

PRESS

How did you kill them? What was the method adopted?

  • Ethiopia Boy

    Ethiopia Boy

    英文图书Faber & Faber
    Chris Beckett grew up in 1960s Ethiopia, a country he describes as a 'barefoot empire, home of black-maned lions… old priests decked out like butterflies and blazing young singers of Ethio-jazz'. Ethiopia Boy plunges the reader into praise poems that sing and boast and glory in the colours and textures of this extraordinary country. Here is a world of feasting on spicy kikwot and of famine sucking the water from rivers, of lion buses and a prayer child, where Earth sings greetings to the feet that walk on her. Haunted by the memory of his friend Abebe, the cook's son, Beckett celebrates and laments a lost boyhood in poems of vivid immediacy.

    Darkthaw

    英文图书Kate A. Boorman
    For as long as Emmeline can remember, she's longed to leave the isolated world of the settlement and explore the wilderness that calls to her in her dreams. And now that the Council has fallen, she will finally, finally get that chance. With First Peoples guide Matisa at her side, Emmeline rallies a brave group to join her on her quest into the unknown, including her beloved Kane and his two younger brothers. But the journey soon proves far more dangerous than Emmeline anticipated—with warring clans, slavers, colonists, disease, and natural disasters seemingly at every turn. After putting so many lives in danger, she starts to doubt everything she once knew. Did she make the right choice to leave the settlement—and can her relationship with Kane survive the ordeal? Matisa insists that to set things right and to fight the evil that is bringing all this danger and turmoil to the forest, Emmeline must journey to Matisa's people—even if that means leaving Kane behind.

    仙侠吾即正道
    吾住青湖边，颇有名气。远道而来的诗人在湖边吟诵着：一叶扁舟横，万点金光散。但见李仙缘，此生无可叹……醉意横生的文士在岸边高歌着：有波拍岸惊百里，不能渡我归家，有浪乘风横千丈，愿可荡吾生涯……文人墨客求见者络绎，赞美湖景者不绝。他们不知夏天水蚊子的狠毒，不知冬天冷风如刀刺骨……更不知吾之寿元不足一年。书生浩然之气，修士灵气之力，佛道功德香火，万民信仰。何以得长生？夜深人静时。远处湖泊寂静萧索，近旁湖面冷清无声。收拾行李，东市西市南市北市购置，绝尘而去。剑未佩妥，出门已是江湖。欲求长生。

    “哥哥，咱们会一起创建一个伟大的王朝的。”弟弟坐在屋脊上看着远方的旷野道。“你怎么知道？”哥哥揉了揉弟弟的脑袋，温柔地笑道：“就因为你是从未来来的？”“哎呀，哥哥你相信我啦。”弟弟吐了吐舌头“联突厥，破长安，平李密，灭窦建德，我的历史可是得过满分呢。”“那你是怎么过来的？”哥哥看着弟弟认真的面孔，深色依旧温柔。“我也不知道。”弟弟神色黯然道：“我记得我是和我的亲哥哥一起的，但是...我现在找不到他了。”“那你就把我当你的亲哥哥吧。反正咱们本来就是亲兄弟。”哥哥笑道：“按你说的，咱们一边创立一个伟大的朝代，一边找你的亲哥哥。”“好。”弟弟点头。“世民，快下来吧，赶紧睡觉。明天爹爹要去长安献马，别给他添乱。”母亲在院子里喊道。“来啦来啦。”弟弟慌忙答应，却扭头吐了吐舌头，轻声道：“我要告诉妈妈你也在上面。”“臭小子。”哥哥轻轻敲了下弟弟的脑门笑道：“赶紧去睡吧。”弟弟下了屋脊，年轻的哥哥看着满天星月，不由得轻轻叹了一声道：“你最终还是没和我说玄武门的事情。”
