There Must Be Showers

In the underground city of Caverna, the world's most skilled craftsmen toil in the darkness to create delicacies beyond compare—wines that remove memories, cheeses that make you hallucinate, and perfumes that convince you to trust the wearer, even as they slit your throat. On the surface, the people of Caverna seem ordinary, except for one thing: their faces are as blank as untouched snow. Expressions must be learned, and only the famous Facesmiths can teach a person to express (or fake) joy, despair, or fear—at a steep price.

Neverfell's expressions are as varied and dynamic as those of the most skilled Facesmiths, except hers are entirely genuine. And that makes her very dangerous indeed…

'Malone', writes Malone, 'is what I am called now.' On his deathbed, and wiling away the time with stories, the octogenarian Malone's account of his condition is intermittent and contradictory, shifting with the vagaries of the passing days: without mellowness, without elegiacs; wittier, jauntier, and capable of wilder rages than Molloy. The sound I liked best had nothing noble about it. It was the barking of the dogs, at night, in the clusters of hovels up in the hills, where the stone-cutters lived, like generations of stone-cutters before them. it came down to me where I lay, in the house in the plain, wild and soft, at the limit of earshot, soon weary. The dogs of the valley replied with their gross bay all fangs and jaws and foam…

The second book in this hilarious, illustrated series cracks the imaginative world of minions wide open, and we meet the other schools and Evil Overlords that surround Dr. Critchlore's. Runt Higgins needs answers, fast. Someone cursed him to die on his sixteenth birthday, but no one seems to know who cursed him or why. Runt decides he must find the Great Library, where all true knowledge is hidden. Unfortunately, the only people who know the location of the Great Library are a covert network of librarian-spies who'd rather die than give up the Library's secrets. And when one of Runt's professors is attacked, it soon becomes clear that others are also out to find the Library at any cost. Meanwhile, Runt's not the only one whose days are numbered. To save the floundering school from an inevitable sale, Dr. Critchlore takes some desperate measures. His master plan to save the school: a fashion show.

小灯是五桩的妻，二桩是五桩的兄。二桩当过兵，是个体面漂亮的人，小灯对二桩曾起过心思，二桩对小灯亦起过心思。但是小灯和她的丈夫，男人仿佛一棵青壮的庄稼，汁水饱满，有一种藏不住的乡俗的野性，而小灯，就是近旁的那棵不知名的小草，同样的土壤，同在风雨中阳光下，根已绞在一起，叶子紧紧相依。在一起并属于着，互相接受并享受着。

汉魏六朝诗上承先秦，下启唐代，是中国古代诗歌发展过程中不可缺少的重要环节。从汉诗、汉乐府民歌，有古诗十九首、曹操、曹植、蔡文姬、嵇康、阮籍、陶渊明、谢灵运、庾信等大家名作，也有孔雀东南飞、木兰诗等优秀乐府民歌，《中华国学经典读本：古诗三百首》内容精彩纷呈，最大限度地反映了古代诗歌的全貌。古诗风格有质朴与瑰奇之别。但在直抒胸臆、自然成文上，则精神相通，从而将对声文辞采的追求与对自然情性的崇高统一起来，为唐人完成古今体分流，臻于“格高而律清”的艺术胜境，作好了准备。
