Secrets of the Terra-Cotta Soldier

Best known as the basis for Alfred HItchcock's classic film The Lady Vanishes, Ethel White's book The Wheel Spins is a gripping and accomplished work in its own right. The plot is deceptively simple and the premise is classic: a woman meets a mysterious stranger during a long railway journey. It's easy to see in this novel what Hitchcock found so compelling and so well-suited to his particular brand of filmmaking.

In the late 1590s, the Sultan secretly commissions a great book: a celebration of his life and his empire, to be illuminated by the best artists of the day - in the European manner. At a time of violent fundamentalism, however, this is a dangerous proposition. Even the illustrious circle of artists are not allowed to know for whom they are working. But when one of the miniaturists is murdered, their Master has to seek outside help. Did the dead painter fall victim to professional rivalry, romantic jealousy or religious terror?With the Sultan demanding an answer within three days, perhaps the clue lies somewhere in the half-finished pictures … Orhan Pamuk is one of the world's leading contemporary novelists and in My Name is Red, he fashioned an unforgettable tale of suspense, and an artful meditation on love and deception.

The Nobel Lecture Seamus Heaney received the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1995 'for works of lyrical beauty and ethical depth, which exalt the every day miracles and the living past'. Crediting Poetry is the first publication of the lecture he delivered at the Swedish Academy on 7 December 1995.

John Wyndham's 1957 book The Midwich Cuckoos is better known by the more sensational title of its two film adaptations, Village of the Damned. The story begins with Richard and Janet Gayford who have spent the night of September 26 in London, returning to their home in Midwich the following day. Then, in ways that are difficult to pin down, the village seems changed--not quite the same place that it was before. The nightmare that descends on Midwich has dire implications for the rest of the world; whatever dwells there is sowing the seeds for a master race of ruthless and inhumane creatures who are bent on nothing less than absolute and total domination.

那些我给你写过的情书，都已经微微泛黄。我们都没变，也都变了。

雪花棉絮一般飞扬着。西北风凶猛而又匀称，雪花就旋动起来，一圈、两圈、三圈，然后像一群群飞累的鸟儿在远处飘落。天地也像被雪花旋动起来，如同一架摇动着的纺车。大雪已下了整整一天一宿。官庙镇被白茫茫厚雪包起来，已看不出房舍、院墙、树木和街巷的模样，倒像是两座平缓的小山耸起在无际的雪野中。将镇一分为二切割开的长街，如同冻结的山沟一样将镇子衬托得幽静而恬淡，好像这是天边的国度似的。驴的叫声打破了如梦的宁静，随之出现了狗叫的声音，甚至巢中的喜鹊也饮着雪片放喉长歌。随之，一缕缕炊烟从雪地里蹿出——是吃晌饭的时候了。
