The Cry of the Owl

First published in 1968, Desert Solitaire is one of Edward Abbey's most critically acclaimed works and marks his first foray into the world of nonfiction writing. Written while Abbey was working as a ranger at Arches National Park outside of Moab, Utah, Desert Solitaire is a rare view of one man's quest to experience nature in its purest form.Through prose that is by turns passionate and poetic, Abbey reflects on the condition of our remaining wilderness and the future of a civilization that cannot reconcile itself to living in the natural world as well as his own internal struggle with morality. As the world continues its rapid development, Abbey's cry to maintain the natural beauty of the West remains just as relevant today as when this book was written.

Lucius Apuleius, a young man of good parentage, takes a trip to Thessaly. Along the way, amidst a series of bizarre adventures, he inadvertently offends a priestess of the White Goddess, who promptly turns him into an ass. How Lucius responds to his new misfortune, and ultimately finds a way to become human again, makes for a funny and fascinating tale.The Metamorphosis of Apuleius, referred to by St. Augustine as The Golden Ass, is the oldest novel written in Latin to survive in its entirety. Originally written by Lucius of Patrae, this translation by Robert Graves highlights the ribald humor and vivid sense of adventure present in the original. Providing a rare window in to the daily lives of regular people in ancient Greece, Robert Graves' translation of this classic tale is at once hilarious, informative, and captivating.

The War of the End of the World is one of the great modern historical novels. Inspired by a real episode in Brazilian history, Mario Vargas Llosa tells the story of an apocalyptic movement, led by a mysterious prophet, in which prostitutes, beggars and bandits establish Canudos, a new republic, a libertarian paradise.

玉碎，出典于《北齐书》，原文为“大丈夫宁为玉碎，不为瓦全”，我国有谚语“玉碎昆冈”，同样将“玉碎”作为不屈不挠的象征。但这个词在太平洋战争开始后，被日军曲解借用，用来美化整个日军部队不肯投降，被盟军全歼的作战。日本官方承认的“玉碎战”一共有15次。通常是日军上层在明知战局已无可挽回的情况下，仍然依据东条英机的所谓《战阵训》和“武士道”思想，在可能通过投降或撤退的方式挽救其生命时，绑架下级官兵顽抗到底，直到全部被歼。日军常常会在作战前和作战中，以命令的形式要求所属部队“玉碎”，甚至日军军法中直接禁止指挥官在战败的情况下率部放下武器，否则按“亵职罪”论处。

青涩的年华里，遇见刻骨铭心的你。朦胧细雨是你我的点点滴滴，青葱光阴是你我刻骨的爱恋，匆匆岁月见证我们的花样年华。冉样是华语的青涩，是华语的懵懂，是华语念念不舍的刻骨岁月。她的初出懵懂，青涩花样，造就他毕生执念。华语是冉样的花样年华，是冉样的匆匆年华的那抹抹不掉的白月光，是冉样刻骨之殇。他的执念是她暖心的港湾，他的付出是她刻骨的爱。相遇时，他说‘别怕，我会一直在你身边保护你。’她瘪着小嘴，泪眼婆娑的看着他。她受伤哭泣时，他轻抚着她的小脑袋，柔声说：“宝贝乖，别怕，我在呢!”其实她不知道，他所说的‘保护你’，就是不管你飞的有多高多远，只要你回头，万家灯火下，灯火阑珊处，那个人一直默默在原地等着你。
