  • 中國小說史略

    by 魯迅，導讀：郭豫適 ...
    《中國小說史略》是魯迅開中國小說史研究先河的偉大著作，全書共二十八篇，從遠古神話傳說到清末民間小說，系統性地論說中國小說的醞釀、產生、發展和變遷歷程，評述歷代代表性作家及其作品，品析各類小說思想藝術特色。引證豐富翔實、論斷嚴謹精當，備受學界推崇—蔡元培：《中國小說史略》、《小說舊聞鈔》、《唐宋傳奇集》等已打破清儒輕視小說之習慣。胡適：這是一部開山的創作，搜集甚勤，取材甚精，斷制也甚謹嚴。郭沫若：王國維的《宋元戲曲史》和魯迅的《中國小說史略》，毫無疑問，是中國文藝史研究上的雙璧。鄭振鐸：近二十年來，研究中國古典小說的人很多，但像魯迅那樣氣吞全牛，一舉而奠定了研究的總方向，有了那麼偉大而正確的指示的，還不曾有過第二人。本書初版於1923年，不僅是拓荒的工作，結束了「中國之小說自來無史」的局面；而且是權威的成就，建立了中國小說的體系。後經數次修訂、補充和完善，流傳百年，至今仍深刻影響無數後學。 ...

    解放軍第一鷹派的夢囈與強國玻璃心的夢魘

    by 袁紅冰 ...
    Series series 袁紅冰作品
    袁紅冰點評　卷首語　　　　暴發戶總比衰敗的破落戶更具引人關注的「魅力」—這似乎是一項人性的定律。基於這項定律，二十一世紀以來，中國由於其經濟能量的暴發式增長而成為國際社會關注的焦點。關注是研究的起點，研究當代中國因此獲得顯學的地位。　　　　然而，外部世界在研究和理解中國的過程中湧現出一種普遍的焦慮。焦慮是因為無論做出怎樣的努力，都難以把一個真實的中國緊抱在懷中。對於外部世界，中國彷彿宿命地永遠是一個陌生的國度—當你自以為已經完全了解這個國家的時刻，常常又會突然發現自己離真實的中國還極其遙遠，遙遠得如同灰霧迷濛的地平線。　　　　千流歸海，真實理解當代中國的全部困難都可以歸結為一個原因：　　　　中共極權專制絕對控制的媒體，無時無刻不在透過製造漫天霧霾般的謊言信息，遮住北京的藍天，遮住中國的真相。　　　　唯有社會自由的海雨天風才能吹散謊言的霧霾，可是，自由對於中國依舊是精神的苦戀。　　　 ...
