The Council of Mirrors (Sisters Grimm #9)评论

Each of these chapters in this book of political counterfactuals describes a premiership that never happened, but might easily have done had the chips fallen slightly differently. The contributors, each of them experts in political history, have asked themselves questions like: what shape would the welfare state and the cold war have taken if the Prime Minister had been Herbert Morrison instead of Clement Attlee? What would have been consequences for Northern Ireland had Norman Tebbit succeeded Margaret Thatcher? How would our present life be different without New Labour - a name we would never have heard if either Kinnock or Smith had become Prime Minister and not Tony Blair? Each of the chapters in this book describes events that really might have happened. And almost did.

Keith Stoner had been in a state of suspended animation for eighteen years. It was eighteen years earlier that Stoner had been an American member of a joint U.S. - Soviet venture to capture an alien ship, but when the Soviets had to pull out, Stoner willfully persisted and it was then, during that time on the strange ship that Stoner fell into the strange state that was neither here, nor there.Jo Camerata, the ambitious young student who fell in love with Stoner is now head of Vanguard Industries, which has recovered the alien ship. As a result, her company now controls the vast new technology and the fortune it reaps in - as well as control of Keith Stoner. What Camerata doesn't know, however, is that someone else has been awake, someone who dwells deep within the labyrinths of Stoner's mind.

At the beginning of the twentieth century, famed theologian Abraham Kuyper toured the Mediterranean world and encountered Islam for the first wkkk.net travelogue, part cultural critique, On Islam presents a European imperialist seeing firsthand the damage colonialism had caused and the value of a religion he had never truly understood. Here, Kuyper's doctrine of common grace shines as he displays a nuanced and respectful understanding of the Muslim world. Though an ardent Calvinist, Kuyper still knew that God's grace is expressed to unbelievers. Kuyper saw Islam as a culture and religion with much to offer the West, but also as a threat to the gospel of Jesus Christ. Here he expresses a balanced view of early twentieth-century Islam that demands attention from the majority world today as well. Essays by prominent scholars bookend the volume, showing the relevance of these teachings in our time.

词是一种配合新兴音乐的诗体，又称“曲子词”、“琴趣”、“乐府”、“诗余”等，因为词的句式长短不一，因此又有“长短句”之名。词按调填写而成，调有调名，又称“词牌名”。每种词调一般都分为上下两章，称“上片”、“下片”，或“上阕”、“下阕”，还有分为三片、四片的长调。词的形成经历了由民间到文人创作的长期过程，一般认为，词孕育于南北朝后期，产生于隋唐之际，中唐以后文人创作渐多，晚唐五代日趋繁荣。

我还在怀念从前。什么“从前”呢，还不过是写日记的年龄，有什么往事可言。日记，这东西有点伤感，翻开来都是一些晦涩的文字，写过了就没有重阅的意义。回忆也是一种陷阱吧，尤其是日记里头掺杂了许多虚设的情事，随时会让人失足，会让心情坠落深谷、黑渊。多愁善感，我想这与年龄无关。只是因为这雾吧。今天早上骑着脚踏车穿入烟雾之中，虽然有点呛鼻，但感觉还好。早上啊，路上的汽车行人都不多，可以加快速度。虽然很吃力，但是感觉到自己的校裙和肩上的辫子向后飞扬，啊——向前冲向前冲！浓雾之中有一种扑向死亡怀里的快感。真淋漓！
