"The Wine of Wisdom: The Life, Poetry and Philosophy of Omar Khayyam" 《杯酒智慧：莪默·伽亚谟的人生、诗歌和哲学》 Khayyám's poem is as well-known for its soul-searching beauty as for the fact that a mathematician wrote it. Explorations of life's temporary nature jogs elbows with alcohol, as the author strives to make sense of the call of religion versus the immediacy of death – and the folly of trying to find Paradise on earth. 正如人人都知道这诗歌出自数学家之手，同样，莪默·伽亚谟的诗歌因其追寻灵魂之美而广为人知。对于生命转瞬即逝的本质探寻引发了杯酒之欢，作者试图理解宗教的召唤和突如其来的死亡间的关系，探究缘何人们愚笨地在地球上寻求天堂。 “The Three Musketeers” by Alexandre Dumas 亚历山大·仲马《三个火枪手》 There should be more book recommendations made on Dumas' masterpiece, than just for the worn-out Musketeers' quote on the magic blend of individuality and brotherly unity. There are enough quotable insults to sink a small Shakespearian ship, just between Athos and Aramis and Porthos, besides the wrangles they have with the young hothead D'Artagnan. There is villainy most foul, with Cardinal Richelieu trying to have young King Louis XIII assassinated. A host of minor characters, including the Musketeers' manservants, keep the dialogue lively, and the sinister blend of high-level politics and love keep everyone occupied. |
