本书由三个文本组成。 *个文本是D（狄亚努斯）的日志，它构成了被称为 鼠的故事 的*部分。这部分以D的视角展开，记述了他与B的情乱，同时，在这场混乱的激情中，A（阿尔法主教）作为一个衔接D与B之关系的人物在场。 *部分也涉及了D与E的情乱，而这构成了第二个文本的记述核心。第二部分被称为 狄亚努斯 ，是A的笔记。这部分以A的视角展开。 这两个文本共同结构了本书的故事。被称为 俄瑞斯忒斯 的第三部分则更像是一个总的视角，或者说，一则诗性概述。它由诗歌和诗论组成。巴塔耶写道： 为了在一片明显的不可能中抓住一丝可能，我必须首先想象相反的情境。

Set in late 1980s Europe at the time of the fall of the BerlinWall, Black Dogs is the intimate story of the crumbling of amarriage, as witnessed by an outsider. Jeremy is the son-in-law ofBernard and June Tremaine, whose union and estrangement beganalmost simultaneously. Seeking to comprehend how their deep lovecould be defeated by ideological differences Bernard and Junecannot reconcile, Jeremy undertakes writing June's memoirs, only tobe led back again and again to one terrifying encouner forty yearsearlier--a moment that, for June, was as devastating andirreversible in its consequences as the changes sweeping Europe inJeremy's own time.

In 1880 Dostoevsky completed "The Brothers Karamazov," theliterary effort for which he had been preparing all his life.Compelling, profound, complex, it is the story of a patricide andof the four sons who each had a motive for murder: Dmitry, thesensualist, Ivan, the intellectual; Alyosha, the mystic; andtwisted, cunning Smerdyakov, the bastard child. Frequently lurid,nightmarish, always brilliant, the novel plunges the reader into asordid love triangle, a pathological obsession, and a grippingcourtroom drama. But throughout the whole, Dostoevsky searhes forthe truth--about man, about life, about the existence of God. Aterrifying answer to man's eternal questions, this monumental workremains the crowning achievement of perhaps the finest novelist ofall time.

(Book Jacket Status: Jacketed) "Northanger Abbey" is a perfectlyaimed literary parody that is also a withering satire of thecommercial aspects of marriage among the English gentry at the turnof the nineteenth century. But most of all, it is the story of theinitiation into life of its naive but sweetly appealing heroine,Catherine Morland, a willing victim of the contemporary craze forGothic literature who is determined to see herself as the heroineof a dark and thrilling romance. When she is invited to NorthangerAbbey, the grand though forbidding ancestral seat of her suitor,Henry Tilney, she finds herself embroiled in a real drama ofmisapprehension, mistreatment, and mortification, until commonsense and humor-and a crucial clarification of Catherine'sfinancial status-resolve her problems and win her the approval ofHenry's formidable father. Written in 1798 but not published untilafter Austen's death in 1817, "Northanger Abbey" ischaracteristically clearheaded and strong, and infinitely subtle inits comedy.

These eleven tales, whose heroesage from ten to over thirty but remain at heart Olinger boys, arefollowed by groupings titled "Out in the World," "Married Life,"and "Family Life," tracing a common American trajectory.

Along with Blake and Dickens, Mark Twain was one of the nineteenth century s greatest chroniclers of childhood. These two novels reveal different aspects of his genius: Tom Sawyer is a much-loved story about the sheer pleasure of being a boy; Huckleberry Finn , the book Hemingway said was the source of all the American fiction that followed it, is both a hilarious account of an incorrigible truant and a tremendous parable of innocence in conflict with the fallen adult world.
