Charles Darwin's On the Origin of Species, published on 24 November 1859, is a work of scientific literature which is considered to be the foundation of evolutionary biology. Its full title was On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life. For the sixth edition of 1872, the short title was changed to The Origin of Species. Darwin's book introduced the scientific theory that populations evolve over the course of generations through a process of natural selection. It presented a body of evidence that the diversity of life arose by common descent through a branching pattern of evolution. Darwin included evidence that he had gathered on the Beagle expedition in the 1830s and his subsequent findings from research, correspondence, and experimentation. Various evolutionary ideas had already been proposed to explain new findings in biology. There was growing support for such ideas among dissident anatomists and the general public, but during the first half of the 19th century the English scientific establishment was closely tied to the Church of England, while science was part of natural theology. Ideas about the transmutation of species were controversial as they conflicted with the beliefs that species were unchanging parts of a designed hierarchy and that humans were unique, unrelated to animals. The political and theological implications were intensely debated, but transmutation was not accepted by the scientific mainstream. The book was written for non-specialist readers and attracted widespread interest upon its publication. As Darwin was an eminent scientist, his findings were taken seriously and the evidence he presented generated scientific, philosophical, and religious discussion. The debate over the book contributed to the campaign by T.H. Huxley and his fellow members of the X Club to secularise science by promoting scientific naturalism. Within two decades there was widespread scientific agreement that evolution, with a branching pattern of common descent, had occurred, but scientists were slow to give natural selection the significance that Darwin thought appropriate. During the "eclipse of Darwinism" from the 1880s to the 1930s, various other mechanisms of evolution were given more credit. With the development of the modern evolutionary synthesis in the 1930s and 1940s, Darwin's concept of evolutionary adaptation through natural selection became central to modern evolutionary theory, now the unifying concept of the life sciences.

1:1 [hgb]  提 阿 非 罗 大 人 哪 ， 有 好 些 人 提 笔 作 书 ， 述 说 在 我 们 中 间 所 成 就 的 事 ， 是 照 传 道 的 人 ， 从 起 初 亲 眼 看 见 ， 又 传 给 我 们 的 。    [kjv]  Forasmuch as many have taken in hand to set forth in order a declaration of those things which are most surely believed among us,    [bbe]  As a number of attempts have been made to put together in order an account of those events which took place among us,1:2 [hgb]      [kjv]  Even as they delivered them unto us, which from the beginning were eyewitnesses, and ministers of the word;    [bbe]  As they were handed down to us by those who saw them from the first and were preachers of the word,

Set on a communal farm called Blithedale, "The Blithedale Romance" is the story of four inhabitants of the commune: Hollingsworth, a misogynist philanthropist obsessed with turning Blithedale into a colony for the reformation of criminals; Zenobia, a passionate feminist; Priscilla, who turns out to be Zenobia's half-sister; and Miles Coverdale, the narrator of the story. The story concerns the freindship of the four at the commune, which starts intensely during the spring and summer but as autumn approaches begins to disintegrate towards a tragic end. A classic of American literature, "The Blithedale Romance" is a compelling narrative set against the backdrop of many important social and political issues of the 19th century.

南极有一座房子，叫阿蒙森—斯科特南极站。室内暖融融的，无论夏冬，人们都可以在那儿生活、工作。飞机毫不费力地便能飞抵或是飞离南极站。从这儿到世界其他地方，要不了多少小时。但是从南极站出来走上500米，那是地球上最寒冷、最空旷的地区。1911年，当时的南极既没见过飞机也没建有住房。除了茫茫大雪、冰封天地与凛凛寒风外，一无所有。没有英国国旗，没有挪威国旗。但是，有几个人缓慢地向南走着，横穿冰封大地。斯科特率领的人配备了小马，而阿蒙森率领的人配备了狗与滑雪板。当时的温度为-30℃或者更糟。这些人忍受着疲倦、饥饿和寒冷……他们中谁将是到达南极的第一人呢？目前，在阿蒙森—斯科特南极站内墙上写着一些字，是斯科特队长于 1912年写在日记里的一句话： “天啊，这地方太可怕了！”

美国作家亨利·詹姆斯创作的中篇小说，首次发表于1898年。该书在118年间，被翻译成15种语言，畅销30多个国家。内容简介：一个年轻纯朴的姑娘应聘到一个大户人家担任家庭教师。开始时，一切都令她满意。她的学生，两个小姐弟天真烂漫，活泼可爱；乡下环境优美，空气清新。后来这种平静的生活突然被打破了，这种变化犹如一头猛兽一跃而起。不久之后就发生了一系列难解的事情：古堡寂静的走廊里传来神秘的脚步声；暮色中的塔楼顶上突然出现一个陌生男子；午夜时烛光摇曳，窗外鬼影幢幢；两个学生的行为变得越来越怪异，犹如幽灵附体。悬疑和紧张步步堆迭，如同螺丝拧得越来越紧。几周之后，在一个孤寂的傍晚，家庭女教师的幻象中出现了一个披肩长发的男人，头发酒红色，风度翩翩。格罗斯太太猜测女家教看到的鬼魂正是主人的前贴身男仆——彼德·昆特。他生前放荡不羁，形象极其丑陋，后来他的罪恶终于到了尽头，晚上喝醉酒从结冰的山坡上摔了下去，受了致命伤。紧接着，女教师的幻觉中又出现了一个身穿黑色丧服，神态沮丧，面色苍白的女鬼魂，格罗斯太太推断女鬼就是之前那位专门做家教的年轻女士，杰赛尔小姐。前女家庭教师深受彼德·昆特的引诱，与他坠入爱河，最终在离开庄园之后不久就去世了。家庭女教师觉得彼德·昆特和杰赛尔两个鬼魂出现在庄园的目的是侵蚀迈尔斯与弗洛拉的纯真心灵，占有他们的灵魂。所以女家教奋力与两个鬼魂做斗争，然而一次都没有成功。故事结尾，两个小姐弟一个发了疯，一个死在了女家教的怀中。
