Ten strangers, apparently with little in common, are lured to an island mansion off the coast of Devon by the mysterious U.N.Owen. Over dinner, a record begins to play, and the voice of an unseen host accuses each person of hiding a guilty secret. That evening, former reckless driver Tony Marston is found murdered by a deadly dose of cyanide. The tension escalates as the survivors realise the killer is not only among them but is preparing to strike again and again. -

Justice
《公正:该如何做是好?》内容简介:如果为了减轻病人的痛苦而向他提供致命性的药物,你认为这是对生命的亵渎吗?如果一个人的死能换来多数人的生,你会牺牲那个人面让自己和同伴们活下去吗?如果改进汽车的致命缺陷能挽救很多人的生命,你会愿意为此付出高额的改装费用吗?如果-项合同与传统道德桕冲突,法院判决合同无效,你会认为法院的判决是公正的吗?在这个日益物质化的年代,我们的行为选择总在人性和物质性之间摇摆不定。当我们遇到生死抉择的时候。我们常常因为尊重人的基本权利而违背利益最大化的理性原则;因此我们才会认为,19世纪遇险的英国船员为了存活下去杀死并吃掉一个病弱的奴仆,是有悖人道的。但是,当我们口口声声说个人的生命权利至上时,为什么像福特汽车这样的企业却会给生命贴上价格标签?如果我们尊重个体的权利。但为什么大多数人又会反对同性婚姻? 我们的社会、我们的思潮、我们的正义观。正陷入尴尬的两难选择当中。我们甚至怀疑法律是否公正,因为法律无法回避个人的道德判断,无法做到中立。这多少让习惯了传统道德观念和固定思维的我们感到不安,但这种不安,却能让我们的理性精神保持清醒的状态。 我们清醒的理性和人类的良知,会促发我们去寻找有关“公正”的“出路”。这条道路既能体现我们社会规范的人性,又能体现客观性。而这正是“世界最受欢迎的老师之一”的迈克尔·桑德尔教授寻找的有关公正的第三条进路:培养我们每个人的德性,作出我们应该作的、公正的选择。 《公正:该如何做是好?》中文最新超值版火热上市,点击进入 海报: 点击链接进入中文版: 公正:该如何做是好? -
The Picture of Dorian Gray
The Picture of Dorian Gray altered the way Victorians understood the world they inhabited. It heralded the end of a repressive Victorianism, and after its publication, literature had--in the words of biographer Richard Ellmann--"a different look." Yet the Dorian Gray that Victorians never knew was even more daring than the novel the British press condemned as "vulgar," "unclean," "poisonous," "discreditable," and "a sham." Now, more than 120 years after Wilde handed it over to his publisher, J. B. Lippincott & Company, Wilde's uncensored typescript is published for the first time, in an annotated, extensively illustrated edition. The novel's first editor, J. M. Stoddart, excised material--especially homosexual content--he thought would offend his readers' sensibilities. When Wilde enlarged the novel for the 1891 edition, he responded to his critics by further toning down its "immoral" elements. The differences between the text Wilde submitted to Lippincott and published versions of the novel have until now been evident to only the handful of scholars who have examined Wilde's typescript. Wilde famously said that Dorian Gray "contains much of me": Basil Hallward is "what I think I am," Lord Henry "what the world thinks me," and "Dorian what I would like to be--in other ages, perhaps." Wilde's comment suggests a backward glance to a Greek or Dorian Age, but also a forward-looking view to a more permissive time than his own, which saw Wilde sentenced to two years' hard labor for gross indecency. The appearance of Wilde's uncensored text is cause for celebration. -

This orphan girl dreamed of the day when she could call herself Anne of Green Gables. -

Ender's Game
Winer of the Hugo and Nebula Awards In order to develop a secure defense against a hostile alien race's next attack, government agencies breed child geniuses and train them as soldiers. A brilliant young boy, Andrew "Ender" Wiggin lives with his kind but distant parents, his sadistic brother Peter, and the person he loves more than anyone else, his sister Valentine. Peter and Valentine were candidates for the soldier-training program but didn't make the cut--young Ender is the Wiggin drafted to the orbiting Battle School for rigorous military training. Ender's skills make him a leader in school and respected in the Battle Room, where children play at mock battles in zero gravity. Yet growing up in an artificial community of young soldiers Ender suffers greatly from isolation, rivalry from his peers, pressure from the adult teachers, and an unsettling fear of the alien invaders. His psychological battles include loneliness, fear that he is becoming like the cruel brother he remembers, and fanning the flames of devotion to his beloved sister. Is Ender the general Earth needs? But Ender is not the only result of the genetic experiments. The war with the Buggers has been raging for a hundred years, and the quest for the perfect general has been underway for almost as long. Ender's two older siblings are every bit as unusual as he is, but in very different ways. Between the three of them lie the abilities to remake a world. If, that is, the world survives. -

Brideshead Revisited
Evelyn Waugh's most celebrated novel is a memory drama about the intense entanglement of the narrator, Charles Ryder, with a great Anglo-Catholic family. Written during World War II, the novel mourns the passing of the aristocratic world Waugh knew in his youth and vividly recalls the sensuous plea-sures denied him by wartime austerities; in so doing it also provides a profound study of the conflict between the demands of religion and the desires of the flesh. At once romantic, sensuous, comic, and somber, "Brideshead Revisited" transcends Waugh's familiar satiric exploration of his cast of lords and ladies, Catholics and eccentrics, artists and misfits, revealing him to be an elegiac, lyrical novelist of the utmost feeling and lucidity. The edition reprinted here contains Waugh's revisions, made in 1959, and his preface to the revised edition. -
