    被侮辱与被损害的人

    陀思妥耶夫斯基是一位超越时空的作家,又是一位充满矛盾的作家。正如世界有多复杂,人有多复杂,陀思妥耶夫斯基本人也有多复杂一样。现在,俄罗斯和全世界已悄然兴起一门新的学问——陀思妥耶夫斯基学。陀思妥耶夫斯基本人是个谜,他的作品也是个谜。破译这个谜,是全世界陀思妥耶夫斯基学家研究的基本课题。专家们把陀思妥耶夫斯基的生平与创作,一般分为两个时期:西伯利亚之前和西伯利亚之后。本书《被侮辱与被损害的人》(一八六一)则处于这两个时期之间,带有明显的过渡性质:既保留了四十年代作品的思想、内容和风格,又承上启下,开创了作家后期以探索社会秘密、人心秘密为主的社会-心理-哲理小说的先河。

  • 美国公民读本(彩色英文版+中文翻译阅读)

    美国公民读本(彩色英文版+中文翻译阅读)

    我希望这本书能实现双重功能:一方面能提供阅读练习,同时又能向读者提供一些知识;只要我们持之以恒地从书中汲取养分,而不是零星地、断断续续地这样做,那么这样的阅读可能会很有意义。我也希望本书能对老师在这些方面提供帮助,成为新的教学方式的核心,此类教学工作围绕它来进行。当然,每位老师都要以适合自己的方式来加以运用。我无意创作一部介绍公民学或研究美国历史的鸿篇巨著,而只是对我们政府的体制进行了概要描述,留给老师在其中填充血肉,并因地制宜地用于教学。至于历史,那似乎在了解特定的现存制度时才显得有用。倘若文中简洁的历史论述足以阐明政府的各方面主题,同时又能激发读者更广泛阅读,那么作者就非常满足了。
