Count Belisarius

状态：连载作者：Rosetta

20017.5万字

Threatened by invaders on all sides, the Roman Empire in the sixth century fought to maintain its borders. Leading its defense was the Byzantine general Belisarius, a man who earned the grudging respect of his enemies, and who rose to become the Emperor Justinian's greatest military leader.

Loosely based on Procopius' History of the Justinian Wars and Secret History, this novel tells the general's story through the eyes of Eugenius, a eunuch and servant to the general's wife. It presents a compelling portrait of a man bound by a strict code of honor and unrelenting loyalty to an emperor who is intelligent but flawed, and whose decisions bring him to a tragic end. Eminent historical novelist and classicist Robert Graves presents a vivid account of a time in history both dissolute and violent, and demonstrates one again his mastery of this historical period.

The Terrible Two Go Wild
英文图书 ABRAMS
Everyone's favorite pranksters are at it again! School's out, and Miles and Niles are running wild in the woods outside town: climbing trees, exploring caves, and, yes, pranking. But these leafy, lazy days of mischief darken when bully Josh Barkin and his cadets from a nearby kids' boot camp discover the merrymakers—and vow to destroy them. Are our heroes' sharp minds any match for these hooligans' hard fists? The latest installment of the witty, on-target illustrated series is another "fast paced, laugh-out-loud novel" (School Library Journal) that proves once again that, in the hands of the powerless, pranks can be tools of justice—plus, they're funny.

This Boy's Life
英文图书 Tobias Wolff
This unforgettable memoir, by one of our most gifted writers, introduces us to the young Toby Wolff, by turns tough and vulnerable, crafty and bumbling, and ultimately winning. Separated by divorce from his father and brother, Toby and his mother are constantly on the move, yet they develop an extraordinarily close, almost telepathic relationship. As Toby fights for identity and self-respect against the unrelenting hostility of a new stepfather, his experiences are at once poignant and comical, and Wolff does a masterful job of re-creating the frustrations and cruelties of adolescence. His various schemes - running away to Alaska, forging checks, and stealing cars - lead eventually to an act of outrageous self-invention that releases him into a new world of possibility.

中国哲学史大纲
哲学胡适
是胡适先生于20世纪初在北京大学教授中国哲学史时期写成的著作。被誉为“用现代学术方法系统研究中国古代哲学史的第一部著作。它的出版被视为中国哲学史学科成立的标志，虽然只有上卷，但是它的成就和特色足以为后世哲学史家开出全新的境界。”写法上摒弃了中国哲学史从三皇五帝的传说开始写起的传统，直接从《诗经》、老子、孔子讲起。考证先哲生存年代，辩识古人著作真伪，还原先秦诸子本来面目。既不随意藏否，也不轻薄评议古人，言必有据，不作无谓的意气之争，显出作者平和的大家风范。此外，本书考证先秦各家流派的师承、变迁痕迹及递次演进的脉络，可谓“一本书读懂诸子百家”之作。
