莲花高台上的佛与法，俗世凡尘间的情与爱。1650年前的丝绸之路上，龟兹国外的古道正驼铃悠悠。初次遇到穿越而来的现代女子艾晴时，鸠摩罗什十三岁。再次见到她时，他二十四岁，已是名扬西域的僧人。对他来说，她是爱而不得的女子；对她来说，他是注定许身佛门的千古高僧。即使早已情根深种，终究羁绊于那一颗坚定的向佛之心。他们之间横亘着的不仅仅是漫长的千年岁月，更有十六国时代满目苍痍的乱世纷争。他与她相识四十年，用三十六年的寂寞等待，换来与她四年相依。她与他相识十年，以穿越的强大辐射为代价，在他遭逢劫难时不弃不离。历经劫难之后，他不再是万人膜拜的皇家上宾，而是冲破戒律与妻子紧紧相依的普通男子，是走过人间地狱仍心怀大爱的慈悲和尚。驼铃悠悠，唱响西域，那段遗落在丝绸之路上的纯真爱情，如何做到不负如来不

The bad seeds on the family trees of the most powerful royalhouses of Europe often became the most rotten of apples:über-violent autocrats Vlad the Impaler and Ivan the Terribleliterally reigned in blood.

AndPauline Bonaparte scandalized her brother Napoleon by having agolden goblet fashioned in the shape of her breast.

Leo Tolstoy’s short works, like his novels, show readers his narrative genius, keen observation, and historical acumen—albeit on a smaller scale. This Norton Critical Edition presents twelve of Tolstoy’s best-known stories, based on the Louise and Aylmer Maude translations (except “Alyosha Gorshok”), which have been revised by the editor for enhanced comprehension and annotated for student readers. The Second Edition newly includes “A Prisoner in the Caucasus,” “Father Sergius,” and “After the Ball,” in addition to Michael Katz’s new translation of “Alyosha Gorshok.” Together these stories represent the best of the author’s short fiction before War and Peace and after Anna Karenina. “Backgrounds and Sources” includes two Tolstoy memoirs, A History of Yesterday (1851) and The Memoirs of a Madman (1884), as well as entries—expanded in the Second Edition—from Tolstoy’s “Diary for 1855” and selected letters (1858–95) that shed light on the author’s creative p

Product De*ion Edited and with an Introduction by David Stuart Davies 'The figure of my wife came in... it came straight towards the bed... its wide eyes were open and looked at me with love unspeakable' Edith Nesbit, best known as the author of The Railway Children and other children's classics, was also the mistress of the ghost story and tales of terror. She was able to create genuinely chilling narratives in which the returning dead feature strongly. Sadly, these stories have been neglected for many years, but now, at last, they are back in print. In this wonderful collection of eerie, flesh-creeping yarns, we encounter love that transcends the grave, reanimated corpses, vampiric vines, vengeful ghosts and other dark delights to make you feel fearful. These vintage spooky stories, tinged with horror, are told in a bold, forthright manner that makes them seem as fresh and unsettling as today's headlines.
