经典小说《傲慢与偏见》英文读后感通用20篇

《北京折叠》 中构建了一个不同空间、不同阶层的北京。

由于人口太多，等级分化，北京分为三个空间。第一空间，五百万人口，生存时间，清晨六点，到第二天清晨六点。翻转后，大地的另一面是第二第三空间。第二空间有两千五百万人口，生存时间是清晨六点到晚上十点。第三空间有五千万人，生存时间从晚上10点到第二天6点。48小时为一个周期，除非特殊许可，不可以跨越空间，逮到会被殴打，拘留，重罚。

毕竟是短篇小说，总共也就2.5万字的样子。可是越短，往往要越凝练。全文自然没有废话，一开始，说清时间“清晨4:50”主人公老刀在步行街出现，着急找一个人。因为，他要从第三空间偷偷去第一空间给人送信，找偷偷去过的人，问个路。要求送信的是第二空间的研究生，去第一空间实习，遇见了一个美人。

因为20万的好处，老刀不听劝阻，下决心铤而走险。作为50岁的老光棍，唯一的念想，就是收养的女儿能够有机会去上幼儿园。他每天辛苦工作，忍着饿不吃早饭，这样省下来的钱也就够两个月幼儿园费用。

结果不说了，有兴趣自己看，只说一下感想：

到了第一空间，老刀才发现，日出是那么的美。自己的生活里，看到的太阳一直是黄色， 第二空间看到太阳是黄色，而那一天，他才见到了很少见到的，蓝天白云，就把50岁的老刀看的入了神——这就是天堂。

当然，他去过第二空间，宽阔的街道，更多的车辆，空间转换时的优雅……尽管做了思想准备，朋友也提醒了：去了，回来只会觉得自己活得很操蛋。可是第一空间的各种景象依旧让老刀目瞪口呆。

自己从小就生活在满地的垃圾，拥堵的小巷，衣着褴褛的人们，斤斤计较，说话大声嚷嚷的居民，自己住的胶囊处所……用速度换生命，拼命干活挣一点存活的钱。仅仅是活着，没有质量可言。不过，不去和别人世界对比，一辈子也就窝窝囊囊这么过来了——这就是地狱。

第一空间的人再不济，也总是能够留下来，找个事情做。出生决定了很多事情，可以不用太辛苦，可以获得优异的生活条件，可以享受24小时的美好生活，呼吸更好的空气。

第一空间的人数正好占了总人口25%，符合二八理论，这个世界总是20%的人占据着80%的资源。

当然，想要改变，也不是绝对不可能。需要送信的研究生去过第一空间实习，也许会有机会留在那里。

老葛一眼就看出老刀从第三空间来，因为裤子的牌子只有那里有卖，而自己小时候经常穿。对，他也来自底层，靠着上军校，努力学习，研究，升值，专业……最后虽然留下做了蓝领的活，但是能够混迹于第一空间的，都是牛人。

这世界是不公平的，不论哪个时代。我们说，时间最公平，给了我们每天24小时。看看，好好珍惜吧，小说里，大家的时间居然都是不一样的。

唯一相同的，是烦恼。

这点倒是很公平，第一空间里，收信美女不开心，她不爱老头，哦，不，那是她老公，年龄差有点大，爱上研究生，又不会有未来，还抱着一丝幻想，希望老刀不要说出实情。

姑娘的老公有烦恼，自己太太那么年轻，不看紧点，麻烦不断，所以盯上老刀了。

就连负责启动城市转换的白发老者，依旧有满肚子心思：大到机器智能与人工就业之间的平衡，小到，发言稿来不及，需要延迟城市转换。

虽然很多人网评在责怪作者，说视野频发，想象力混乱，中间介绍缺少逻辑性，对于贫富两个阶层态度暧昧……可是，你能，你就写啊!国际性的奖，别人都是瞎颁的吗?作为短篇小说，我们不能要求太多。

也许，这不是科幻，未来的城市人口太多，真的会这么折叠。

也许，这不是科幻，只是暗示着现实社会的阶层状况。每个国家，都有着天堂富人区，以及地域穷人区。

也许，这不是科幻，只是特殊翻译的神学作品。那只能生活在黑暗里的肮脏的第三空间，不就是佛教里的地狱吗?地基就更厚重的高高在上的第一空间，就是天堂，只不过，住了六根并未清静的人。

也许，你看了，会有不同的注解，谁知道呢?

折叠的是北京，扭曲的是人心。

Informal feedbacks and opinions about “The Da Vinci Code”

Okay, at first I have to admit that “The Da Vinci Code” is an amazing book. When I read in mid-parts, sometimes I just wanna to ask, “Okay, okay, what is happening?” It is a horrible period to let an eastern person to understand western religions in sudden. And so, this book basically is in love with the western religion issues.

Honestly, the author is a genius that he organizes plots and conflicts so dramatically and delicately. It’s like a gift. Reading the book is taking a roller coaster, and even worse, your eyes are forced to be close, the world is full of empty black and you got no idea what the railway go next. Everybody seems like suspect. There is absolutely an organization that was killing people and tried to hide something, which is the secret truth. Langdon knows that. Langdon figured the secret organization--priory of Sion at last, and it shows everything is related, the death of Saunière led Langdon all the way to Rossiyn Chapel, with finding “the rose line” the first prime meridian (RGO) that located France, Paris, Louvre. Where the story ends.

I can not understand that why the followers of Christianity and Catholicism would ever think that pain is good for people and human kind is meant to be guilty because they make the “God” or “Guesses Christ” mad or hurt. Actually I am a real big fan of Christopher Hitches, so now you see. The keystones are in great demand. Everybody wants them, and the truth behind of the keystones. They are delish. Christianity and Catholicism want it because it tells where the secret documents that could destroy the religion is. Where the San-greal is. Dramatically, San-greal is not a real cup, but a woman. Mary Magdalene. Mary Magdalene was legend by the wife of Guesses, who born the true blood of royal (Guesses Christ). The conflict only have one aim that are the keystones and behind of them, which is the San-greal. The plot descripts different personality well, and discovers the characteristics behind different force that was struggling the San-greal distinctly. In order to understand what is happening, and what are the symbols, characters, numbers really mean, and understand why the followers of the religion will be so obsessed, the reader have to place himself in the version of a total western guy, or a follower. Because of the different believe probably, I could not comprehend some of the strange behaviors (I mean they are weirdoes) that author described in story, but as a horror plus suspense fiction, I think “The Da Vinci Code” is better then “Sherlock Homes”.

I quite enjoy the reading, and thanks for the ones that borrow the book to me.

“达文西密码”的非正式反馈与意见

首先，我必须承认“达文西密码”是一本了不起的书。当我在中间阅读时，有时我只想问：“好吧，发生了什么事?“让东方人突然了解西方宗教是一段可怕的时期。所以，这本书基本上是爱上了西方宗教问题。

老实说，作者是一个天才，他组织情节和冲突如此戏剧性和微妙。这就像一个礼物。读这本书是坐过山车，更糟糕的是，你的眼睛被迫关闭，世界充满了空黑色，你不知道什么是铁路去下一步。每个人似乎都怀疑。绝对有一个组织在杀害人们，试图隐藏一些东西，这就是秘密的真相。兰登知道。兰登认为，秘密组织——锡安隐修会在最后，它表明一切都是相关的，对sauniè重新死亡导致兰登一直到Rossiyn Chapel，找到“玫瑰线”第一本初子午线(RGO)，位于法国，巴黎，Louvre。故事结束的地方。

我不明白为什么基督教和天主教的信徒会认为痛苦是对人有益的，而人类是注定有罪的，因为他们使“上帝”或“猜测基督”疯狂或伤害。其实我是一个真正的Christopher Hitches的球迷，所以现在你看到的。重点是需求量很大。每个人都希望他们背后的真相，并重点。他们是美味。基督教和天主教希望它，因为它告诉的秘密文件，可以破坏宗教是。在三真是。戏剧性的是，三大是不是一个真正的杯，但一个女人。Mary Magdalene。Mary Magdalene是传说的猜测妻子，谁出生的皇家皇家血(猜测基督)。冲突的目标只有一个，为重点，在他们的背后，是三大。剧情描述了不同的个性，不同的特点，找出背后的力量，挣扎着的三大明显。为了了解发生了什么，什么是符号，人物，数字真的意味着，并理解为什么信徒的宗教将如此痴迷，读者必须把自己在版本的总西方家伙，或追随者。因为不同的相信，我不能理解一些奇怪的行为(我的意思是他们是怪物)，作者描述的故事，但作为一个恐怖加悬疑小说，我认为“达文西密码”比“家园”。

我很喜欢阅读，感谢那些借我的书。

这是一个关于摆渡人和被摆渡人的故事。

一个关于灵魂摆渡的故事。

一个关于生存、死亡和爱情的故事。

15岁的单亲女孩迪伦独自踏上一列火车去寻找自己的生父，不料遭遇一场火车事故，当她爬出火车残骸时，却发现世界已经变成一片荒原，她以为她是唯一的幸存者，但她却是唯一的逝世者。

走出火车残骸的仅仅是她的灵魂而已。

在一片荒原的世界里，迪伦见到了她的灵魂摆渡人——崔斯坦。他带领着她，保护着她，穿越茫茫荒原，护送她的灵魂到达应该去的地方。

不同于以往任何一个被摆渡的灵魂，在知道自己已经死亡的事实后，迪伦没有颓废和消沉，而是淡定的接受了死亡的事实，她在崔斯坦的引领下，与如影随形的恶魔们勇敢抗争，从最开始的依靠，信赖，慢慢变成了纯洁的爱恋。

被摆渡的灵魂爱上了灵魂摆渡人!

可是这份爱注定不被允许，迪伦有自己的归宿，崔斯坦有自己的使命，当迪伦跨越摆渡的终点边界线时，却没有看到答应与她一起离开的崔斯坦，痛苦欲绝的迪伦最终决定冒险尝试任何灵魂都没有做过的事情——返回崔斯坦的世界，去寻找自己的灵魂摆渡人，自己的爱人。

又是一条充满未知和艰险的路，为了爱，迪伦选择了一场可能让自己灵魂灰飞烟灭的豪赌，尽管前途未卜，可她依然步履坚定。

上天还是眷顾了这对有情人，在茫茫荒原，迪伦找到了朝思暮想的崔斯坦，她极力劝说崔斯坦跟随自己回到另一个世界，一个属于她的世界，尽管这是一件从未有过的事情，尽管一切都充满未知和风险，一切都有悖常理，但崔斯坦愿意冒险尝试，只因他曾答应过迪伦绝不会失去她，一定要保护她!

这一次，迪伦成了崔斯坦的摆渡人，带领着他义无反顾地找到了自己身故的那列火车，去寻找自己的身体。为了不再一次失去崔斯坦，迪伦在进入火车残骸后就紧紧抓着崔斯坦的手，可行走在错乱不堪，漆黑一片的车厢时，不慎摔倒的迪伦还是丢开了崔斯坦的手，再次醒来的迪伦如愿地回到了人间，满心却是失去崔斯坦的痛苦，她为丢开崔斯坦的手而懊悔不已，却看见向自己走来的崔斯坦对着她说：原来你在这里。I exist because you need me.因为迪伦的需要，所以崔斯坦一直存在和陪伴，陪伴她的灵魂，陪伴她的人，用陪伴守护她一生。

迪伦是幸运的，因为她有崔斯坦，摆渡了她的灵魂，摆渡了她的人生。

如果命运是一条孤独的河流，谁会是你灵魂的摆渡人?用不变的承诺，勇往直前的行动，摆渡你的灵魂，陪你抵达幸福的彼岸。

不记得是哪位大咖说过：经典是生生世世的诱惑。从来没有那么投入，那么认真地读完哪本现代著作，除了四大名著。而孩子给我推荐这本巫哲的《撒野》，让我从头到尾都被一个高中男孩所具有的细腻丰盈的情感所蛊惑，被那不离不弃、干净透明、惺惺相惜的非主流情感所感动着。

心灵细微之处的痛痒被这两位少年所牵引，所触动。

小说语言干净、明快、简洁，没有丝毫的扭捏作态、无病呻吟，有的只是日常的只言片语，生活琐碎。虽然是关于不被社会认可的非常态BL，但却令读者，无论他或她是同性或异性或双性恋者，都会被男孩细腻的情感，被他们年轻、淳朴、不带任何修饰的粗糙但率真的性情而触动。从头到尾，文字中扑面而来的满是青春的气息，干净如明媚的阳光。

小说中的人物，个个鲜活，形象跃然纸上。读者从中可以发现了自己的影子，朋友的影子，同学的影子，老师的影子或者父辈的影子。深切体会并理解了当时所不能理解也没想着去理解的许多人和事。也再次重温了一遍高中历史，自己青葱的岁月。

小说中的学霸蒋丞学渣顾飞，有着非同寻常的人生经历。他们两个相互救赎相互爱的点点滴滴，感动了读者。

也正是因为《撒野》，让读者对学霸有了全新的了解。学霸不是一副冷冰冰、拒人于千里之外的学习机器，而是有个性、有隐忍、有不堪的过往、有善良、有冷酷、有恩有义的有情少年。学渣也不再是放任自我，让人不屑的渣渣，而是有情有义有爱有责任感的，不该沉寂的一颗璀璨的金子，他因为太多的牵跘，太多的责任要去承担和梳理，他不能优秀，他不能拔萃，他刻意地淹没自己的才华，而默默地用自己年轻性感的肩膀扛起生活的重担。

最让人感慨的是，这对少年刚开始就对对方的颜值颇为欣赏，也正是应了这句话“始于颜值，陷于才华，终于人品”。

末尾，作者没有给读者一个交代，他两个是否最后能在一起，是以怎样的状态在一起，但读者已经很心安，这两个少年会有不错的未来，这是肯定的。

他们从太平洋出发，首先经过日本海和中国海，在海底森林打猎，游览了珊瑚王国，见识了印度洋的乳白色海，欣赏了锡兰海底椰子般大小的珍珠。之后经过红海，从神奇的“阿拉伯隧道”进入地中海，经直布罗陀海峡进入大西洋，见证了人类史前文明，亚特兰蒂斯的遗址;接着下潜到一万六千米的深海，来到自由之海的南极，又沿着南美洲车海岸向北，直到北美洲的纽芬兰岛附近，又穿过大西洋，经过英吉利海峡，最后尼摩艇长和他的“鹦鹉螺”号潜艇神秘地消失在挪威海域的迈尔大旋流中。

这本书中，我最喜欢两个人物—阿龙纳克斯教授和尼摩艇长。他们两人本应成为朋友的，但是面对尼摩艇长的复仇，阿龙纳克斯教授是想和平的，所以他们俩最终没有成为朋友。也让教授原来没有打算逃跑变成了计划逃跑了。尼摩这一词的另外一种意思就是“神秘”，确实这个词用在这个人身上再合适不过了，他一直都是那么神秘，让人猜不透。直到这本书写完了，我都不知道他的真正的名字和下落，还有他和岸上的人发生了什么。或许尼摩艇长和鹦鹉螺”号一样，对于生活在陆地上的人来说，是一个永恒的谜题。

《海底两万里》像一本百科全书，书中故事曲折离奇、充满悬念、引人入胜，读来不但让人觉得赏心悦目，也惊心动魄，不住的掩卷遐想，为尼摩艇长日后的命运猜想。我想说，它不愧是一部令人难忘的世界名著。

作为一个读书者，最大的乐趣便是能品读一本好书了！古今中外，许许多多的爱书的人都有这样一个共同的感受：漫步在浩如烟海的书籍中，形形色色的书种类繁多，但是却总是分辨不出它们内在的精神内涵的区别。众人的推选，我费尽心思挑选了一本可以称得上上乘的世界古典名著——《傲慢与偏见》！

这本书为什么深受广大读者喜爱呢？主要是这本书不同于其他的外国名著，将过多的笔墨投身于景色的壮丽和社会的纷杂繁复中去，而是用微观的笔调，写出了作者生活的那一个小世界，来淋漓尽致的展现当时的社会风情和社会风貌，真是管中窥豹，以小见大啊！

初次品读这本书，我还以为它是一本幽默小说，但其实不然。文中，“一个英俊的男人总是要配对一个漂亮的女人”，但是这本书却不是这样说的！仅仅是把金钱是金钱至上的观念，由于这本书中使人们感觉到当时欧洲社会的黑暗，以及人们价值观的扭曲。

“富有的单身男子肯定想要娶一位太太，这是举世公认的真理。”这句话是流传于这本书中的一句名言，它也生动的反映了当时的社会现实——对于男人，他们并不挑剔，不挑剔长相，不挑剔品格，更不挑剔性格，只是看中他那手中厚厚的一沓钞票？其实这在中国也是十分常见的，回首往事，我们可以看到任何一个文明的发展都要经历浴火的淬炼，但是任何一个感情的发展，绝不可能是因为钱而生存的！他也需要个人的品格以及性格的磨练。

文中所记叙的那些婚姻事件看起来很搞笑，但是却在幽默之中说明了真理，在真理之中，又道出了社会的风貌百态。其实，《傲慢与偏见》并不仅仅是对那爱情故事的描写，更表现的是从这样简简单单的平凡生活中，英国整个世纪的社会百态，人情世故。

对于世界来说，每个人都是平凡的;对于人类来说，其他人也是平凡的。套用小时代中的一句话：“对于浩瀚的宇宙来说，我们都是小小的星辰。”

在这本书中作者没有用华丽的辞藻来描述，没有用惊险离奇的情节来触动人心，没有用惊天动地的场面来吸引读者的目光，激发读者的兴趣，而这本书中有的只是平凡的人，平凡的事，平凡的生活，平凡的感情。就如同书名一样，一切都是平凡的故事。

未看这本书前，在我的世界观中，悲与欢、生与死、穷与富、世事的变更，都是世界上平凡的事。可是在看完这本书后，我的想法改变了。虽然这些事对于世界来说是平凡，但对于当事人来说，这些都不平凡。

这本书让我对农民重新定义了，原来农民并不是只面朝土地背朝天，埋着头一声不响地干活的。原来他们也是有自己的追求的，这本书中，给我印象最深的人应该是孙少平。他虽然只是一介农民，但他不甘于平凡，敢于向命运发出一次又一次的挑战，其实孙少平是一个悲催的人，他的爱情路不如意，明明与地主家庭出身的郝红梅产生情愫，在被同班同学侯玉英发现并当众说破后，与郝红梅关系渐变恶劣，。明明最后日子都过得好一些了，妻子秀莲却生了肺癌。而他的事业线也十分曲折，虽然前面一段由建筑工人转换成煤矿工人，转换的十分顺利，但是之后由于技师根本不懂技术，砖窑蒙受很大损失，不过好在最后少平在朋友和县长的帮助下使砖窑再度奋起，成为了当地社会主义建设的领头人。

虽然孙少平的命运十分坎坷曲折，但他身上那股子不服输的精神深深地震撼了我，他是一个纯粹的人，他觉得人活着不能光是为了钱，还要有更高的精神追求，要为了自己的理想去奋斗，少平骨子里与哥哥少安不同，他是一个高尚浪漫的人。

其实作为一个读者，你可以把这本书当做许多不同方面的书籍去解读。比如，你仅仅把他当做一本长篇小说来欣赏，因为它里面的情节内容丰富，人物形象塑造的饱满;再如，你可以把它当做一篇学术材料来研究，因为它里面的人物，风俗都是有原型，有依据的;或者，你还可以把它当做一本激励书籍，因为这里面的人物都是乐观向上，开朗大方，遇到困难不退缩，不屈服的。

延安大学文学研究所所长梁向阳曾经评价过：“部小说所传达出的精神内涵，正是对中华民族千百年来“自强不息、厚德载物”精神传统的自觉继承。这样的小说对底层奋斗者而言，无疑具有“灯塔效应”。这样，我们就不难理解路遥的《平凡的世界》能产生如此广泛而深刻的社会影响的原因。”是啊，这部小说写了中国当代城乡生活，体现了当代农民百姓的坚强。它通过复杂的感情纠葛，刻画出社会各阶层中众人的形象。让读者意识到了普通人的人生自尊，自强与自信。

“嗨。”

“嗨，原来你在这里!”

“我在这里”这是故事的结尾，故事的最后一句对白。他们在一起了，他们在最后一刻看到彼此，他们都为对方而努力着，迪伦对爱的执着，感染了按常规出牌的崔斯坦，也许是崔斯坦作为摆渡人的使命完成了，也许，是迪伦的爱感化了他，使他勇敢的走出了自己的内心。做出了勇敢的决定。

“如果我真的存在，也是因为你需要我。”

那么，“如果你需要我，我就真的存在。”

《摆渡人》的场景一幕幕的出现在我的脑海里，崔斯坦跟迪伦之间的那种神秘的爱恋令人动容，他们一起同生共死共患难的画面不断在我眼前闪现，我是不是应该去沉思，活着的意义以及爱的意义……

因此，即使是深夜2点，我依旧可以坐在书桌前去写下我对看完这本自认为不错的作品的想法，我害怕明天醒来，我会忘了现在的感受，我怕写不出崔斯坦与迪伦的种种磨难与爱恋。

“如果我真的存在，也是因为你需要我。”

“如果你需要我，那么，我就真的存在。”

I think that if a person has an unselfish love, then it is a person who has all the noble qualities. In "" Love of education "" This touching book, everywhere that has a high-quality people.

"" Love of education "" This book is the hero - a fourth-grade boy An Like a vision, in diary forms, ranging from four-year in October the first day of school, has been written in July next year. Record An Like moving around various stories, the parents wrote in his diary of the dissuasive enlightening article, as well as nine teachers in the classroom, read the exciting story of the month. Each article is touching.

"" Love of education "" one chapter is written in a child chimney sweeping chimney sweeping earned 30 coins lost, and not return home, so the students are passing with their own money to help him, did not take students put their own money, presented flowers to him. I think this section was the most moving, because we usually encounter difficulties in their own always wanted to get help, and we usually have difficulties encountered in man-hours should also do our best to help him, not being the person you help will be someone else, love to pass it down this way. I believe that children chimney sweeping re-later someone else will.

After reading the article, I thought of the Sichuan earthquake in May this year, the Shenzhen peoples active contributions to the disaster, donations, let me once again feel the Shenzhen this "city of love" love.

Some time ago， I read a persons fame Khvostov of as "Uncle Toms cabin." Integrity， good-natured， religious Uncle Tom; prudent， smart， studious Mestizo slave George; inexcusable ruthless slave traders Hailey; destroys human nature， conscience ruined the alegre; a sense of justice， but drift， such as the St. Clair lifelike characters left me a deep impression on him. What made me the most unforgettable is the smart and lively but wild full， and later transferred teach self-esteem a slave girlTOM love.

TOM blacks had the most black， a pair of round bright eyes as sparkling glass beads， like， look a bit strange face is a shrewd and crafty Kyrgyzstan wonderful binations， like a goblin-like. She loves to steal， stealing after lie， put an innocent expression; her misbehavior， all making her revenge， hoaxes; she would take advantage of the master out， crazy couple of hours to make his home mess. Her owner exhausted all ways to punish her， education， she tried to change her bad habits， but to no avail， this is only because there is no love!

Think about it! This was lovely child， born into slavery， she belonged to them all the only masters of the so-called masters of her fate. Her childhood on his masters scolding to grow up， so she formed the habit of lying， bad habit of stealing things， and that she was beautiful， tarnished the purity of heart. In this there is no dignity， experiencing being separated from being whipped all day circumstances， how can we have a noble moral character and firm in faith? Only pure， beautiful， selfless love can save her soul! When the angelic Eva to her love of her time，TOM eyes cast the tears that her heart has been ray of sunshine of love. Sure enough， after the changeTOM Well， her efforts to care for others. This is the punishment， not preaching Forever effect， full of love beyond all words! This is the power of love!

In our lives， there are many like TOM as children. Their bad behavior， there is no love， will not listen to reason， then do not hate him， to understand with love， tolerance， stripped away a layer of green shoots yellow things， with love to the hearts of probation numb. We should always remember; the power of love is enormous， and the supreme! "Uncle Toms cabin" This masterpiece has been published in 150 years， it has been able to make today is still deeply moved by readers， but also because the author in the book preached brotherhood and humanity in the disappearance of slavery today has been the eternal pursuit of mankind.

---Book Review: “Camille”

I read the Chinese version of “Camille” a few years ago. At that time I was deeply moved by the main character Marguerite Gautier. “Camille” or “The Lady of the Camellias” by Alexandre Dumas, fils, is the story of Marguerite Gautier, a young courtesan, or kept woman, in Paris in the mid 1800s, and how she falls in love with a young man, Armand Duval, and then tries to escape from her questionable past. Unfortunately, it comes back to haunt her and she ends up returning to that life and dies painfully and alone, but with the knowledge that she was a noble woman at heart. When I first began to read the book, I did not care for Marguerite or her attitude or lifestyle, but as I got further into the narrative, I realized that her saucy attitude was a front to cover the lonely woman that she really was. She felt used, abused and unloved, until the gentle Armand Duval came into her life and showed her that he loved her as a person and not for what she could do for him. It must have taken great courage for Marguerite to leave the life she had lived for so long, knowing all along that it was probably too good to be true and would not last indefinitely. And it also showed that Marguerite really loved Armand Duval for she could even change herself for him.

However, happiness didn’t last for long. When M. Duval, Armands father, came to her, pleading for her to leave Armand to save both Armands reputation and that of his younger innocent sister, Marguerite saw a way to become pure of heart, if not in body. She felt that it was her duty, because she loved Armand so much, to do this even though it meant giving up her own happiness and hurting Armand temporarily. She reluctantly returned to her former life, knowing that some day Armand would forgive her. Sadly, she died in debt and basically alone, except for her one female friend, Julie Duprat, who helped her during her illness. She had her journal sent to Armand after her death, explaining why she had made the choices she had. I think Dumass last few lines about Marguerite being the exception, not the rule were quite true, and I also agreed with his view that while her lifestyle could not be condoned, we as a society assume that all of these type of women are cold and heartless, while this may not always be the case. A person can make the wrong choices in life when they are young, and try to redeem themselves, but sometimes past situations prevent them from changing their lives, even though they desperately wish to do so. This applies to both men and women in many different types of circumstances: involvement in crime; drug or alcohol abuse; gambling; prostitution; financial problems; poor marriage choices; etc. And this is the fact, which exists in the whole society.

As far as the other characters in the book, I think Marguerite was right in saying that no one truly cared about her, but only wanted something from her, the only exceptions being Armand and Julie Duprat. Of course, the Comte de G. and Comte de N. wanted her body and appearance. The Duke needed to “wake up and smell the coffee” and realize that she could never replace his dead daughter. If he truly cared, he could have helped her leave her lifestyle without “keeping” her himself. And lastly, Prudence was a blood-sucking leech who used Marguerite almost worse than the men. I also think she was jealous of the fact that Marguerite had so much more courage than herself and someone truly loved her.

导语：《星际动物园》我们人类战无不胜是因为我们智力发达。我们会思想，会说话，会使用工具，会制造精妙的机器。我们是再聪明不过的动物……下面是yuwenmi小编为大家整理的优秀英语读后感，欢迎阅读与借鉴，谢谢!

As the only living things on a bare planet called “Just Like Home”, humans felt lonely and sad. In order to live, they must get married as often as possible and have children. Unwilling to get married, our 16-year-old protagonist named Humming Bird ran away from her planet and found a plastic space ship. There she met various kinds of animals, which frightened her even drove her crazy. She had never seen such things before. Only through ‘The Book Of Remembering’ did she get some rough idea of animals. After she took a small-copied cat home and showed it to the officials on her planet, the cat was shot to death and all the officials went crazy. Humming Brid didn’t give up her attempt to let people accept the animals. She decided to set about the job from children…

That’s the brief plot of Harry Gilbert’s science fiction—. Based on the reality of increasing environmental problems, the writer uses his full imagination and creativity to produce this vivid imaginative and thought-provoking story.

As far as we know, animal numbers are now diminishing all over the world every years, and the living conditions we depend on a getting worse. We dirty the air with gases and smoke, poison the water with chemicals and other substances and damage the soil with too many fertilizers and pesticides. We also pollute our surroundings in many other ways. Air, water and soil are all very important and necessary to the survival of all living things all over the world. If we human don’t pay more attention to that, there will come a day when we have to live the kind of life described in this novel. As we know, the world is made up not only of human beings but also a lot of other living things. If we don’t want to leave this perfect planet, we have to protect the environment; otherwise, without the company of other living things, people would only be half-alive, men only half-men.Nowadays, I should say, people have realized the importance of environmental protection and ecological balance. Slogans that remind us to save water and electricity are stuck everywhere, but how many are treated as requirements or duties and not just a piece of paper. If we pay a little attention to our working and study places, we always find some taps half opened with running water, and large numbers of people get used to leave lights on during the day. Dustbins for both recycled and unredeemable rubbish are placed in high density but no one bothers to throw the rubbish into the right dustbins. Nor do they even know what kind of rubbish could be recycled and what kind could not.Conservation centers for protecting animals are built in many countries. Our government also passed some acts to protect animals; however, there do exist some law-breakers who are driven by money. We plant trees very year, but no one bothers to water and care for them after planting them. For money, some farmers drive their sheep and cattle to grasslands and charge it into desert.All in all, to every one, I want to say, “Living on this wonderful planet earth, we are lucky and happy. In order to enjoy this kind of wonderful life, we must care for mother earth and put this kind of care into practice.”

Facing the world, to be or not to be, it’s up to you. We must make a choice without any hesitation!

车夫的圈子，大杂院的生活，随同祥子的命运走向绝望，走向暗淡。祥子带着中国农村破败凋敝的大背景，带着农民的质朴和固执，也带着自己一份勤劳与坚忍走向了我们的生活。也正因为如此，祥子认准了拉车一行，凭着他的坚毅和率性，终于成为了自食其力的上等车夫。坚韧不拔、恒心和毅力不正是做人处事之道?可歌可泣的故事，中国当时社会环境是军阀混战，容不得他有丝毫的个人幻想，不到半年，他就在兵荒马乱中被逃兵掳走，失去了洋车，只牵回了三匹骆驼。但是风雨吓不倒祥子，他倔强地反抗着命运，克己地拉车重新白手起家。

天有不测之风云，人有旦夕之祸福。正如俗语所言，人生的道路并不都是那么平坦的，千辛万苦得来的积蓄又被侦探敲诈洗劫一空，圆车梦再次成为泡影。为了追求自己一直向往的理想，他再一次拥有了自己的车子，但这一次是以与虎妞成就畸形的婚姻为代价的。好景不长，虎妞死于难产，祥子人车两空。加之又失去他喜爱的小福子，连遭生活打击的祥子再也无法鼓起生活的勇气，它不再像从前那样以拉车为豪，它厌恶拉车，厌恶劳作。的确，哀大莫过于心死，生活捉弄了他，他也开始游戏生活，吃喝嫖赌，出卖他人换钱，祥子彻底堕落为城市的垃圾，变成了一具失去灵魂的行尸走肉。祥子就这样走完了他曲曲折折的一生，不带走什么，留下一个悲哀的故事??可鄙、可悲的命运。

故事已结束了，闭目良思，它给予我们怎样的启迪?哲人察堂下之影而知日月之行，观一叶之落而知秋之将至。在整日的忙碌中，触风雨，犯寒暑，一路坎坷，挫折窘迫道不尽。回首望去，身后的小路曲折不平。清茶的芳醇，需要热水的滋润;人生的美丽，更需要挫折的鼓舞。

在面对挫折的时候，智者总是善于自己勾勒出一幅水墨画;而愈是心急如焚，一蹶不振者，才总是让油彩污染了画卷，不知所措。而祥子便是鲜活的一例。

暑假期间，有幸第二次拜读了《西游记》。读后让我爱不释手，连连赞叹。

本书作者吴承恩为读者讲述了唐僧以及其他的三个徒弟一路上历尽艰险、降妖伏魔经历了九九八十一难取得了真经的故事。文中曲折的故事情节和唐僧师徒的离奇经历又给我留下了深刻的印象。正是这离奇的故事情节赢得了广大读者的心，致使此书成为了我国古代的四大名著之一。

这是一部所有人都爱读的经典大作，每个人都能在解读它时获取不同的感受和启示。有人喜欢它鲜明的人物个性;有人喜欢它瑰丽的整体形象;有人喜欢它活泼诙谐的语言;有人干脆把它当作道德修养小说或政治寓言。在我看来，最喜欢它具有以下几点鲜明的特色：

一、向往自由孙悟空这个形象完全激发了人们内心潜在的，根深蒂固的向往——对彻底的自由的向往。孙悟空破时而出，“不优麒麟辖，不优凤凰管，又不优人间王位所拘束”，闯龙宫，闹冥司，在花果山自在称王，可以说已经达到人性摆脱一切束缚，彻底自由的状态。孙悟空其实就是自由的化身，他的品质中最突出的特点就是向往自由，他始终在追求自由，他的一切斗争也都是为了自由。这样一个鲜活的形象给予了我一种寻找自由、追逐自由的力量和勇气。

二、出神入化的故事情节小说中处处体现了作者丰富的想象力和对真理执著的向往。现实生活当中不可能发生的事，在吴承恩的笔下却发生了，而且合情合理，每一次唐僧遇难都会在孙悟空等神仙的保护下逢凶化吉，让人不得不感叹善有善报，恶有恶报。日常生活过于现实，使充满幻想的事物遭到排斥。神话在这样的条件下应运而生了。它具有深邃的哲学意义和丰富的文化内涵。有位学者曾经说过：“神话乃是各种艺术的必要条件的原始质料。”《西游记》是中国神话小说的颠峰，也是神话文化的至高境界，可见《西游记》的问世，在我国的神话创作是一个奇迹，对世人产生了非常深远的影响。

三、凸现英雄本色《辞海》中说英雄是杰出的人物，曹操说英雄要有包容宇宙之机，吞吐天地之胸。总之，英雄是那些顽强地掌握自己命运，并为崇高理想而奋斗的人。孙悟空无疑是一个大英雄，他为了自由，为了自己的尊严，对唐僧忠肝义胆，对猴子猴孙有情有意，不怕与一切艰难险阻作斗争。正因为这种大无畏的叛逆的精神，才使他最终保佑师傅唐僧取得真经，自己也修成正果，凸现出其英雄本色。

书中写唐僧师徒经理了八十一个磨难让我联想到了他们的执着、不畏艰险、锲而不舍的精神。这着实是一种值得我们学习的精神。只要我们能坚持把一件事情从头做到尾，不管是成功与否并不重要，只要尽力去做了，就是一种成功啊!

读罢《西游记》，回味良久，发现此书竟然给我带来源自内心的激励和无穷的力量。不愧被誉为四大名著之一。

因为遭遇意外鲁滨逊被卷到孤岛上，过起了一个人孤单的生活。在岛上，学会了他以前学不会的东西。他学会了乐观豁达，他学会了勇敢创造，他学会了坚持不懈，他学会了战胜自我，他学会了实现人生的价值，他也学

会了一样珍贵的东西——信念。鲁滨逊在严酷的现实生活面前，没有放弃活下去的希望，他战胜种种困难，顽强生存下来的精神，深深的打动了我。我想到自己人生的道路上，还有许许多多的困难、挫折等着我们解决，只有

学会像鲁滨逊那样不畏艰险、勇敢面对一切难题，拥有必胜的信念才能达到我们自己的人生目标。

虽然像《鲁滨逊漂流记》故事中的主人翁那样的遭遇和经历是极少见的到，但是在这个高速发展的现代社会中，我们的生活、工作中总会遇到些看似难以解决的问题和压力，要学鲁滨逊那样具备挖掘自我潜能的能力，面

对险境坚持自我的生存本领，是啊，信念是多么重要！我要学习这种顽强的信念。有了它，任何挫折，都会低下头来的！

信念，这是对我们每一个人都很重要的，信念是我们实际生活和工作的必需品。

《德伯家的苔丝》是哈代的代表作，是“威塞克斯系列”中的一部。它描写了一位农村姑娘的悲惨命运。看过这部小说后你有什么感触呢?下面是小编为大家整理的英文读后感范文，希望对你有帮助。

She was seduced by a so-called gentleman—Alec, and from then on her life totally changed from this loss of innocence. People looked down on her and respected her no more. Actually she did nothing wrong because before she was seduced she knew nothing of men. She was just a girl when she first met that terrible man.

She was forced by the gossips and the church to blame herself for this accident, so she thought she deserved nothing good. In order to get rid of the past she decided to go to a distant dairy farm but was still saying to herself that she was wrong. Maybe God didn’t agree with that, because the Lord gave her someone she loved with her whole heart and life—Angel Chare. Angel popped the question to her but she refused him without saying why. She said she loved him deeply and perhaps no one in the world could love him more than she did but she could not marry him for some unspoken reason. Angel wasn’t satisfied with this vague answer and did his best to win Tess. Somehow she agreed and they soon fixed the wedding day. Soon after their wedding Angel confessed the crime he committed to a woman long time ago and asked for Tess’s forgiveness. Tess was not at all angry and forgave Angel at once; in fact she was rather happy and excited for she also had things to confess.

She sat and told everything to Angel, hoping he would forgive her as he was forgiven but she was wrong. She was not forgiven, not as she thought she was. The woman pays.

Without Angel’s love, nothing meant anything to her. The result wasn’t important now. Tess was arrested for her murder of that so-called gentleman. Why? She still loved Angel and when he finally went back to her and asked for HER forgiveness, after he regretted what he had done unfair to Tess, she was desperate. That was too late—Alec had always told Tess that Angel would never come back so he won Tess’s trust. Unluckily Angel did come back and found Tess.! Everything was too late!

Tess was deceived and she lost Angel for the second time! The strengh of her love was so strong that she had forgotten the difference between right and wrong. Before that she had done nothing wrong but when she killed Alec, everything really changed! She became a criminal! How could it be? She was as pure and innocent as the good wife in the Bible. Her whole character was honest and faithful. Angel figured out at last that a person should be judged not only on what he has done but also on what he wanted to do!

Tess didn’t want to be seduced by man and she had no power to defend herself so she lost her innocence and that’s all! Angel also did the wrong thing and it was even more serious than Tess’s crime but HE was not blamed for it. Why it is always the woman who pays? Why they are always hurt? Why was Tess’s girlish purity lost? Why does the wrong man take the wrong woman? Why do the bad often ruin the good? Why is beauty damaged by ugliness? Women are too weak! Thousands of years of history have shown us that women have always been treated unfairly!

In old China there was a culture, which didn’t think of women as human beings. If you asked one if he was the oldest in his family, he would probably answer “the oldest one” even if he had some elder sisters. If you asked why then he would say, “Ha, they are not included!”

People gave birth to many girls in order to have only one boy to keep the family name going. They thought girls had no use for the family. They would be married and go to live with their husbands’ home and be their wives some day sooner or later. So they were extremely hard on girls.

Girls should be hard working, faithful, loyal, intelligent, and virtuous and the most important thing was she must be a maiden! If her husband was the first man who touched her then she was a good girl, a good wife no matter how she thought. If she wasn’t, then she would gain a very bad reputation and nobody would dare to go near her. What about men? People did not care whether he was an experienced man or not, nor did they care about his character. They thought man equals power and power equals rights…

Now let’s not be so bitter. Nowadays women’s situations have become much better. Some are because of the change of society and some are because of civilization. Just let those poor painful women like TESS be just a memory.

四大名著之一的水浒传，是我最爱的书之一。它讲述了一百零八位好汉从被逼上梁山落草为寇，到宋江招安，南征北战死伤无计，最后被__人所害被毒酒赐死，剩下的也隐居了。

其中我最喜欢的好汉是，宋江和林冲。宋江一门心思的正直为国，他为人友善，大气不拘小节。不计较李奎好赌，还借给他钱。虽说他有些唐僧一样的一根筋，但正直的心让我很佩服。林冲，是一个勇敢正直的人，他一而再再而三的选择去伏法律，但看到世道的黑暗之后他不再相信朝廷了。

我觉得笑的好汉，一定是李逵了。他大大咧咧，做事不顾后果，但他重情重义。他到处闯祸，他做事不计后果不考虑的习惯造成了他一次又一次的惹事，救宋江时别人都说，别伤人把官兵就好，但李逵一股脑往前杀。但他重情重义为兄弟不顾一切的义气让我佩服。他的毛病也带来了后果。他在带老母亲回梁山时因为走小路，再去找水喝时老母亲因为瞎了所以被老虎吃了。李逵是万分后悔把老虎一窝全杀了。

这本书最为人知的一个片段也就是武松打虎了。武松在景阳冈打虎，三碗不过岗。这都是大家熟悉的词语。武松是一个勇敢，面对困难无所畏惧的人。面对老虎很快站定，冷静应对。

这本书的转折点，就是招安。自从宋江招安之后，这支队伍的性质发生了改变，从正义的反贼成了朝廷的正规军。但兄弟们也在一次一次的战争中死去。我一开始不理解为什么这么做，但了解宋江之后，我觉得这对于宋江来说这可能是一种固执的相信自己可以改变。但宋江一味相信正道。但他这种信念是值得我们学习的。

对这篇小说我不想用太多的赞美之词来表达对此作品和作者的敬意，大学里我是学工科的，在此只想说，如果在大学里面我读了三体三部曲，也许我会积极地面对学科内知识——材料科学。

小说的大体内容是对当人类联系外星文明后，该文明与人类文明相应的对策和各自的发展趋势。首先先是“元接触”，经过发展，最终这个接触在全球公开并将酿成巨祸。借助于新颖的科幻题材，作者试图在本书中让读者同时对政治，宗教，以及人性善恶展开思考。

下面在回顾剧情的同时，我要写我的想法。

故事的开头是发生在“红太阳的时代”，(“太阳”一词在小说中出现很多，也代表着不同的寓意。)在那个时代背景下，物理系学生叶文洁亲眼看到了父亲，作为一名德高望重的物理学家，被“小将”们活活打死的情景，感受着最后的理性被野蛮践踏时的痛苦而苟且活着，在那个时候她迫不得已地对人性开始思考，并且看到人类毁坏自然时，开始怀疑人性和邪恶究竟能不能是可以划等号的。本来境遇很糟糕的她，因为写过一篇论文，后来被破格调到所谓国家的“太空研究中心”——红岸基地，在满足了某些人政治利益的同时，并且偶然发现了可能能与外星文明联系的方法。当她在按发射按钮的那一刻，我的想法是：她是无知的，对这种交流的后果无知，对星际间的交流准则的无知，但她绝对不是迷茫的，因为绝望，这个在全书里一直挥之不去的词眼充斥着她的内心，进而导致她对她所做所为毫无责任感，也许当她后来看到“孩子们开始上学，有的孩子还特地找她请教物理学问题”时也许感到过一丝悔意，(因为小说中说她怀疑自己是不是真正按了按钮，是不是真正收到了对方的信息。)但后来遇上伊文思，这个“人类仇视者”，和看到当年参加打死她父亲的人以“同样是受害者”的心态而不思悔改时，我相信即使之前有，也没了。正因为她的做法，地球的位置暴露无疑，三体星人决定侵略地球，并且四百年后会来到地球。后来在《三体》二中她提出了宇宙文明最基本的原则，我相信在那个时候她才有悔意，说明她对这个问题说明进行了思考。

下面在说说三体文明，小说没有对三体人的外貌进行直接的描写，而是用一种很新颖的手段—电子游戏来对三体文明发展历程进行阐述，第一遍读的时候我对“游戏”部分读的很快，但第二遍时恰恰这个部分最吸引我，与其说是介绍三体文明，不如是说在用人类思想家和科学家的学术来回顾人类科学发展历程。最终得出的结论是“三体文明”的生存环境及糟糕，经过反复的文明覆灭，但三体人经过“脱水”和特殊的繁殖方式使文明得以延续，并且拥有了极高的科技水平，人类在他们眼中就是“虫子”，在接到地球的讯息后，而迫于自身的生存需要，大举组织舰队侵略地球，并利用“智子”锁死了人类科技发展。

在科幻方面让我记着最深的有两点：第一个为了不发声响地获取关于外星人的情报，地球作战部决定用“纳米材料”丝对行进中的船进行切割和纳米材料在太空中的应用。第二个是锁死人类科技的“质子”制造过程，展现了三体人对维度的掌握技术，这些东西涉及到物理学前沿，我真正理解的东西不多，但作者描写的过程只能用四个字“波澜壮阔”来形容。

在之后谈谈我对作者关于政治的看法，这部小说只是个开头，但让我留意的地方有两点，第一点是三体元帅在讲这个文明能生存的原因是曾说道：“我们以前有过民主的时代，有过开明的时代，这它们面对灾难的时候，却不堪一击。第二点是叶文洁的理想“消灭暴政”以及她给外星文明的消息。这两点无疑是彻底矛盾的，对小说人物来讲是没法理解的，因为“人本”和“集体”这个东西孰对孰错到目前仍然是难下定论的，在一部中没有阐释很多，但在后面作者会对这个问题阐述淋漓尽致。

最后对于宗教，倒不如说是信仰，小说中让我感到震撼一句话是“愿佛祖保佑我主早日脱离苦海”，佛祖是宗教象征，现实中可能难以认同其存在，但这里面的“我主”可是存在的，即小说中的三体文明。同样都是信仰，一个存在一个不存在，不禁让我想到：其实每个人活着都有信仰，比如信仰上帝，信仰佛祖，信仰真善，信仰美好，信仰金钱，信仰权力..你难道可以说那个信仰我说的这世界上没有?我们的字典里面的“信仰”后面往往加个伟人的主义，所以对于我们来说可能是个极好的词，但我如果信仰邪教是不是也可以说是一种信仰?以前听过老罗说过他学点心理学后他明白了“自控型”和“他控型”，他控型的人需要宗教支撑，他说他那种人不需要。所以别把信仰和宗教搞混了，这两个词不能说同义，也不能说没有一点联系。

这部小说的总体感觉是篇幅简短，但内容精悍。从一个简单信息，进而引出一个文明，宇宙奥秘的一角慢慢地掀开，这只是宏伟的三体小说的一个简简单单的开头而已，其实整个这部小说都应该只算个前言，在三体2和三体3中，会有更加动人心魄的情节，作者会更加从人性角度去深刻地去评判去反思，并且主角也将会变化，毕竟四百年浩瀚的历史，需要不同的传奇人物来书写!

在人们的记忆中，春天永远都是那么生机勃勃，鸟儿在枝头歌唱，天空中下着蒙蒙细雨，发出沙沙的响声，鱼也争先恐后地从水中跃出水面。但在这本书中的春天却与人们记忆中的春天有着很大不同。书中的春天是寂静的，鸟儿奄奄一息，只有寂静覆盖着田野，树林和湿地。

是什么导致了这样寂静的春天呢?在这个寒假，我阅读了《寂静的春天》这本书，并在这本书中找到了这个问题的答案。

这不是魔法，也不是敌对的行为，这全都是那些无知的人们咎由自取。他们为了自身利益，为了使自己种的农作物不被害虫破坏，滥用农药，但这种办法不但杀死了害虫，同时杀死了其他所有昆虫，破坏了生物圈的平衡。大自然不知用了多久，才创造出了一个平衡的世界。在这个世界中，所有的东西都是环环相扣的，而人类却用农药打破了这种平衡，破坏了土地，河流，乃至整个生物圈。与其称这些为“杀虫剂”，还不如称这些为“杀生剂”。

现在，人类已然意识到农药对地球的严重危害，对于农药的使用已经在逐渐减少。但是，随着世界的发展，可能人们也没有注意到，他们仍在用些不同的方式给地球带来危害。在许多超市和菜市场，塑料袋的使用依旧很普遍，许多人为了方便，仍会使用许多塑料袋，并且在使用一次后就把它扔掉。还有许多饭店会使用一次性塑料盒。这些再被人们埋入土中后，不易在土中被降解，仍然可以在土地中一直保留几百年之久。我们可以通过使用环保袋，或者将塑料袋循环使用来保护坏境。

所以，保护环境，我们必须一起团结起来，从我做起，保护美丽的地球。

Joy depicts the crisis of faith that overes Rabbi Banish of Komarov， who， having buried his four sons and two daughters. Only through the mercy of the God he has denied， manifest in a radiant vision of the dead Rebecca， his beloved youngest daughter， is the rabbi’s belief restored. The sense of wonder and the touch of heavenly joy that linger after the vision dissolves convince Rabbi Banish of the folly of judging God’s actions by human standards. The rabbi has interpreted the apparent tragedy of his children’s premature deaths as evidence of God’s alienation， forgetting that God is by definition inscrutable. That God’s purpose transcends man’s ability to prehend it is made clear to the expiring rabbi when the family dead approach his deathbed with arms outstretched to enfold him among them. For theirs is the kingdom of heaven to which a loving God has called them; and their deaths have evidenced not God’s wrath but his grace.

A version of Rabbi Banish’s deathbed revelation appears to Rabbi Nechemia in Something Is There. At twenty-seven he is already racked by the doubts that torment Rabbi Banish. So shaken is his belief in God that he deserts his rabbinical post in provincial Bechev for the flesh-posts of Warsaw. Although the prostitutes， unclean food， and shady business dealings which he witnesses there hold no attraction for the erstwhile rabbi， they intensify his revulsion from the world created by God and therefore his alienation from God himself. Unlike Rabbi Bainish， whose intimations of immortality and consequent rededication to God precede his radiant deathbed vision， Rabbi Nechemia cannot allay his doubts until the very moment of death， when a light he never knew was there flickered in hid brain.

While his dying words—something is there—resolve his crisis of faith， they e too late to affect the spiritual renewal attained by Rabbi Banish. No explicit promise of immortality， let along of salvation， attends Rabbi Nechemia’s vision. Perhaps grace is accorded Rabbi Banish because his doubt is triggered by devastating personal losses， and withheld from Rabbi Nechemia because his despair is the bitter fruit of idle speculation about the unknown. Whatever the reason， relatively few of Singer’s characters are granted at the moment of death the transcendent vision of unity between man and God that appears to Rabbi Banish in Joy. For the fortunate few， release from time into eternity is affected by a divine visitation which obliterates distinctions between past and present， living and dead.

These kinds of characters are lost in their world because of the seducement of the material world. They doubt their formal faith and gradually give up what they believed. But after they have experienced so much hardship， they realize that they cannot adapt to the life of the outer world so they regress to the former life with formal faith. They realize the importance of God and they begin to think seriously about the relationship between man and God. At last they find their right way of their life.

This book is simply wonderful. The tales involved are tales of the Persian Gulf, of Bagdhad, Arabia, and tales that we as adults should revisit for some enjoyable light reading that will make us smile and wonder at the old folklore of the Arabian Peninsula.

Sinbad the Sailor is in there, as is Aladdin in its original form, and the story begins of a king who is so upset by his wifes unfaithfulness that he will now only accept virgins for one night and then have them killed. A smart virgin begins her night with the infamous king by telling him stories, and she so fascinates him and enthralls him with her tales that the tales turn into folklore for readers of the ages. I wont tell you what happens in the end to the virgin princess, but you will find humor, enchantment, wisdom and fantasy for those times when stress becomes a factor in your life.

I highly recommend the tale of "The Historic Fart" as a both funny and inspiring tale of human nature. Please buy this book and remember to become a nine -12 year old again as you read with curiosity and wonder at the fabulous enchanting, lively stories. I was beginning to wish my children were a bit younger so I could read these to them. Any child would enjoy these stories, and any adult will find them simply relaxing and a reflection of medieval Islam.
