书签收藏评论目录封面

This last volume of memoirs is for Irina Alexandrovna Lugovskaya who came from another world.

History, with its flickering lamp, stumbles along the trail of the past, trying to reconstruct its scenes, to revive its echoes, and kindle with pale flames the passions of former days.

-WINSTON CHURCHILL

What's important is not fame, nor glory, but the ability to endure, to be able to bear one's cross and have faith.

-ANTON CHEKHOV

The mystery and the immensity of human existence.

-RADHAKRISHNAN

Life, as it is imposed on us, is too hard; it brings us too many pains, disappointments, insoluable tasks.…The intention that man should be "happy" is not contained in the plan of "Creation."

-SIGMUND FREUD

No beast is more savage than man, when possessed with power answerable to his rage.

-PLUTARCH

A culture which disavowed the tragic sense of life does not find it easy to deal with life's deeper complexities without despair.

-REINHOLD NIEBUHR

Life must move forward, but it can only be understood backward.

-S?REN KIERKEGAARD

The universe was always insecure.

-HERBERT BUTTERFIELD

  • Opened Ground

    Opened Ground

    英文图书Faber & Faber
    This volume is a much-needed new selection of Seamus Heaney's work, taking account of recent volumes and of the author's work as a translator, and offering a more generous choice from previous volumes. Opened Ground: Poems 1966-1996 comes as close to being a 'Collected Poems' as its author cares to make it. It replaces his New Selected Poems 1966-1987, giving a fuller selection from each of the volumes represented there and adding large parts of those that have appeared since, together with examples of his work as a translator from the Greek, Latin, Italian and other languages. The book concludes with 'Crediting Poetry', the speech with which Seamus Heaney accepted the 1995 Nobel Prize in Literature, awarded to him, in the words of the Swedish Academy of Letters, for his 'works of lyrical beauty and ethical depth'.

    Hothouse

    英文图书Faber & Faber
    The Hothouse was first produced in 1980, though Harold Pinter wrote the play in 1958 just before commencing work on The Caretaker.'The Hothouse is one of Pinter's best plays: one that deals with the worm-eaten corruption of bureaucracy, the secrecy of government and the disjunction between language and experience.'Michael Billington.'The Hothouse is at once sinister and hilarious, suggesting an unholy alliance between Kafka and Fedyeau.'The National Theatre presented a major revival of The Hothouse in July 2007.'The foremost representative of British drama in the second half of the twentieth century.'Swedish Academy citation on awarding Harold Pinter the Nobel Prize for Literature, 2005
  • Signals for Strategists

    Signals for Strategists

    英文图书Rosetta
    This book is for strategists—leaders, managers, entrepreneurs—who are so caught up in the daily pressures of business that they're missing key signals of their future reality. It's like driving a car heads down, staring at the dashboard, rather than heads up, looking through the windshield. We need to do both. The book is devoted to the practice of sensing, or scanning the horizon for signs of emerging trends. The sooner we see them, the better our response.Each chapter starts with a set of signals—data we observed that, taken together, helped us to reveal a trend. The impact of new technology on strategy is a theme of the book, and each chapter looks at how organizations are using new technologies to their advantage.
