Tale有声小说

王尔德-快乐王子-thehappyprinceandothertales_英语有声小说。作者王尔德，一八五四年出生于英国的都柏林人。父亲是一名外科医生，母亲是一个诗人和小说家，而他从小就是在这样一个充满书香味的家庭里长大的。二十岁时，他就是优异的成绩进入了牛津大学，也是在这里，他接触到了拉斐尔派的作品，并为了日后的唯美写作风格奠定的基础以及写作方向。这个在当时倍受争议的作者，其实是现在人的眼光来看，也可能会相当的受争议。因为*********情，即使是在如今这样开放的社会，也为绝大多数的人所不接受，更何况是一百多年前思想保守的英国。但是，无论如何也不能否认，他为我们创造的许多好的作品，例如流传至今的快乐王子。而本书王尔德-快乐王子-thehappyprinceandothertales，就是他的第一部童话集，一共包括五个故事，第一个故事就是这个快乐王子的故事。这个故事起名叫做快乐王子，其实王子一点也不快乐，至少在他死后一点者不快乐。因为由于他的雕像站的很高，所以他能看到城里所有穷的困苦，而他动不能去帮助他们。终于一只燕子来到了他的身边，由于王子就请这只准备南迁的燕子来帮助这些穷人。当王子终于把自己身上所有金银和宝石送给那些穷人之后，所成了不个又丑又旧的雕像，最终被投入了熔炉里面熔化了。被冻死的燕子和王子心，最后被带去了天堂，在那里，他们可以永恒而快乐的生活了。喜欢王尔德作品的朋友还可以收听：王尔德童话集、王尔德童话集(双语版)。

《神秘及幻想故事集》讲述了：想象一下，你正置身于湖畔的一座古旧宅邸之中。时间是夜里，外面暴雨肆虐，狂风绕着灰色的石墙嘶吼。房子下面的一间阴森的地窖里放着一口棺材，里面躺着玛德琳小姐的尸体。同你一起待在房间里的是她的哥哥，正在用疯狂的目光望着你。想象一下吧……

过去，人们很少到别的地方去。他们往往会在一个村子里住一辈子。村里的人都彼此熟识，连别人家里的父母、孩子，甚至祖辈都一清二楚，这样的地方恐怕没有什么秘密可言。所以，当约翰拉克兰的儿子旅居美国30年后重返长池村的时候，他知道许多人家肯定还住在那里。他在城里搭上去长池的马车，一路上向同行的乘客打听村里的新闻……

《双城记》是狄更斯最重要的代表作之一。早在创作《双城记》之前很久，狄更斯就对法国大革命极为关注，反复研读英国历史学家卡莱尔的《法国革命史》和其他学者的有关著作。他对法国大革命的浓厚兴趣发端于对当时英国潜伏着的严重的社会危机的担忧。1854年底，他说：“我相信，不满情绪像这样冒烟比火烧起来还要坏得多，这特别像法国在第一次革命爆发前的公众心理，这就有危险，由于千百种原因——如收成不好、贵族阶级的专横与无能把已经紧张的局面最后一次加紧、海外战争的失利、国内偶发事件等等——变成那次从未见过的一场可怕的大火。”可见，《双城记》这部历史小说的创作动机在于借古讽今，以法国大革命的历史经验为借鉴，给英国统治阶级敲响警钟；同时，通过对革命恐怖的极端描写，也对心怀愤懑、希图以暴力对抗暴政的人民群众提出警告，幻想为社会矛盾日益加深的英国现状寻找一条出路……
