Tales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)。

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……
