Milton's Paradise Lost is one of the greatest epic poems in the English language. It tells the story of the Fall of Man, a tale of immense drama and excitement, of rebellion and treachery, of innocence pitted against corruption, in which God and Satan fight a bitter battle for control of mankind's destiny. The struggle rages across three worlds - heaven, hell, and earth - as Satan and his band of rebel angels plot their revenge against God. At the center of the conflict are Adam and Eve, motivated by all too human temptations, but whose ultimate downfall is unyielding love.Marked by Milton's characteristic erudition is a work epic both in scale and, notoriously, in ambition. For nearly 350 years it has held generation upon generation of scholars, students and readers in rapt attention and its profound influence can be seen in almost every corner of Western culture.

白雪公主是家喻户晓的童话故事，本书中的白雪公主完全摆脱了童话的模式，成了一个普通的现代女性，有烦恼，有心事。会压抑，也会有妒忌心，还充满了女权意识。此书充满了一种黑色幽默，堪称荒诞派文学的经典之作。《白雪公主后传》是美国文学大师巴塞尔姆最重要的作品。在大师的笔下，白雪公主已成为一个普通的现代女性，是个有七情六欲的真实人：有压抑感，落魄感和妒忌心，也仍然想入非非，做着与现实生活格格不入的童话中的梦。她仍然希望像原来那样，成为关注的中心。她已经厌烦了这个家和自己的家庭角色，对歧视女性的社会忿忿不满，听厌了矮人们喋喋不休的陈问滥调，因此内心充满改变现状的渴求。绝望中，她甚至盼望着能有一次带性丑闻的冒险，能打破单凋乏味的生活……作家用貌似疯狂的叙述来表达一种玩世不恭的讥诮，以反映当代人滑稽无奈的众生相。

Common Sense was a pamphlet written by Thomas Paine. It was first published anonymously on January 10, 1776, during the American Revolution. Common Sense presented the American colonists with an argument for independence from British rule at a time when the question of independence was still undecided. Paine wrote and reasoned in a style that common people understood; forgoing the philosophy and Latin references used by Enlightenment era writers, Paine structured Common Sense like a sermon and relied on Biblical references to make his case to the people.Historian Gordon S.
