——火麻雀《Jewish Antiquities犹太古事记》
《十日谈》:乔万尼·薄伽丘所著,是意大利文学史上第一部现实主义巨著,是世界文学史上具有巨大社会价值的文学作品;意大利近代著名评论家桑克提斯曾把《十日谈》与但丁的《神曲》并列,称之为“人曲”。 1348年,意大利一城市瘟疫流行,10名男女在乡村一所别墅里避难。他们终日游玩欢宴,每人每天讲一个故事,共住了10天讲了百个故事,这些故事批判天主教会,嘲笑教会传授黑暗和罪恶,赞美爱情是才华和高尚情操的源泉,谴责禁欲主义,无情暴露和鞭挞封建贵族的堕落和腐败,体现了人文主义思想。
《犹太古事记》:犹太人史籍,为投降罗马的犹太叛将约瑟夫斯(Flavius Josephus)在西元93年前后用希腊文写成,叙事起于远古,止于西元66年的反罗马起事。
《非洲之旅》:1799年,帕克的游记《非洲内陆之旅》1799年发行,初版的1500本在两周内售罄,当年即加印;法、德译本及美国版本在1800年出现。《非洲内陆之旅》一面世,就成为欧洲旅游文学的新典范。伤感与敏感从1760年代起成为旅游文学的主轴,帕克的书助长了这种气氛,性与奴隶成为此类文学的主题。伤感的旅游文学源起于生存文学的古老传统,一种充满船难、漂流、叛变、放逐与俘虏的故事。
在游记中,帕克并未述及地理发现、观察与搜集,反而谈的是个人的经验与冒险,他不断的描述自己,不像个科学家,倒像个多愁善感的英雄。非洲史学者菲利普·科汀说帕克只是单纯述说他所看到的,没有傲慢,没有特别的辩解,也没有判断。帕克在不直接质疑欧洲文化的同时,能够在某种程度上抱着人文主义的关怀和文化相对主义的容忍。
乔万尼·卜伽丘:1313-1375,是文艺复兴时期的意大利文艺复兴运动的杰出代表,人文主义者。代表作《十日谈》批判宗教守旧思想,主张“幸福在人间”,被视为文艺复兴的宣言。
弗拉维乌斯·约瑟夫斯: 约37--100 ,犹太历史学家和军人.原名约瑟夫.本.马赛厄斯.生于耶路撒冷.西元66年在反对罗马的犹太起义中他指挥一支加利利军队.在向罗马人投降时他施展手段获取优待,得以前往罗马,在那里写出几部关于犹太历史和宗教的著作,包括《犹太战争史》(History of the Jewish War,西元75--79年问世)和《犹太古事记》(Antiquities of the Jews,西元93年问世)卒于罗马。
蒙戈·帕克(Mungo Park,1771年9月11日-1806年)是一名英国探险家,被认为是第一个考察尼日尔河的西方人。生于苏格兰,1788年进入爱丁堡大学学习医学和植物学。1793年经博物学家约瑟夫·班克斯的推荐,他在一艘前往苏门答腊明古鲁的商船担任助理外科医生,前往明古鲁进行考察。
1795年-1797年受英国非洲协会委托经冈比亚河,寻找尼日尔河河源,东行至尼日尔河上游的塞古,断定尼日尔河是由西向东流注。
1805年-1806年受英国政府的派遣,再次考察尼日尔河,后在布萨(Bussa)附近被袭击,溺死。

内容简介:
1348.The Black Death is sweeping through Europe.In Florence,plague has carried off one hundred thousand people.In their Tuscan villas,seven young women and three young men tell tales to recreate the world they have lost,weaving a rich tapestry of comedy,tragedy,ribaldry and farce.Boccaccio's Decameron recasts the storytelling heritage of the ancient and medieval worlds into perennial forms that inspired writers from Chaucer and Shakespeare down to our own day.Boccaccio makes the incredible believable,with detail so sharp we can look straight into the lives of people who lived six hundred years ago.His Decameron hovers between the fading glories of an aristocratic past-the Crusades,the Angevins,the courts of France,the legendary East-and the colourful squalor of contemporary life,where wives deceive husbands,friars and monks pursue fleshly ends,and natural instincts fight for satisfaction.Here are love and jealousy,passion and pride-and a shrewd calculation of profit and loss which heralds the rise of a dynamic merchant class.These stories show us early capitalism during a moment of crisis and revelation.

内容简介:
The works of the Jewish writer Flavius Josephus represent one of the most important records of Judaism and the Jews that survive from the ancient world. The Jewish Antiquities, his largest historical enterprise, is an account in twenty books of Jewish history from the creation to the outbreak of the Jewish revolt against Rome in AD 66. Here is all the drama of the Old Testament transformed into a historical narrative of Greco-Roman character; and more important, our only continuous account of Middle Eastern affairs in the two hundred years that led up to the revolt. William Whiston, successor to Isaac Newton as Lucasian Professor of Mathematics at Cambridge, published his famous translation of Josephus' works in 1737. The modern system of chapter divisions has been added.

内容简介:
In 1795 Mungo Park, a twenty-four year old surgeon, set out from the Gambia to trace the course of the Niger, a river of which Europeans had no first-hand knowledge. Travels in the interior districts of Africa is his Journal of that extraordinary journey. He travelled on the sufferance of African rulers and soon came to depend for his survival on the charity of African villagers. Before he reached the Niger, he endured months of captivity in the camp of a Moorish chief. Yet throughout his travels, Park maintained a remarkable empathy for African societies and beliefs. He recorded what he saw as accurately as he could, and without presuming European superiority. He prefaced his Jornal with the disclaimer that it has nothing to recommend it but truth.It is a plain unvarnished tale,withort any pretensions of any kind Park's truthfulness and lack of pretension will endear him to nodern readers.
作者简介:
Mungo Park was born on 10 September 1771, at Foulshiels, Scotland. He excelled academically, studying medicine at the University of Edinburgh. His first major contribution was to be in the field of natural science, discovering eight new species of fish off Sumatra. His travels in Africa however, and his courageous attempts to map the course of the Niger river sealed his place in history. Many conflicting reports exist regarding Park's death, but it is generally accepted to have been in January 1806, on the Niger. --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.
