简介： 艾米蒂是美国长岛的一座小镇，以其海滨浴场吸引了大批游客。突然，一条巨大的食人鲨——大白鲨——在海滨出现，咬死了一位度假者。为了避免悲剧再次发生，警察局长马丁·布罗迪下令关闭了海滩。但镇长拉里·沃恩坚决反对这一措施，理由是关闭海滩会给市镇经济带来灾难性影响，实际上他是害怕自己经营的房地产公司倒闭，而操纵该公司的则是臭名昭著的黑手党。沃恩威胁布罗迪，如不立即开放海滩，就要把他解职。布罗迪顶不住以沃恩为首的镇管委会的压力，被迫开放了海滩。但海滩重新开放后不久，又接连发生两起鲨鱼吃人事件，布罗迪再次下令关闭了海滩，并在捕鲨能手昆特和海洋专家胡珀的协助下，与大白鲨进行了一场惊心动魄的殊死博斗，终于将大白鲨刺死，但是胡珀和昆特却为此献出了宝贵的生命。 这就是美国作家彼得·本奇利所著长篇小说《大白鲨》的故事梗概。本奇利于1940年5月生于纽约市。1961年从哈佛大学毕业后，任《华盛顿邮报》记者，后到《新闻周刊》当了三年编辑。从1967年3月到约翰逊总统任期期满，他是白宫的演讲稿撰写人。此后，他作为一个自由撰稿者，曾当过电视评论员，并为多种杂志如《纽约人》、《国家地理》、《电视导报》等写稿。 本奇利祖孙三代都是作家。祖父罗伯特是位幽默作家，父亲纳撒尼尔是位小说家。《大白鲨》（直译《鲨颚》）是本奇利创作的第一部长篇小说，于1974年出版，被列为美国70年代十大畅销书之一。美国评论家认为，“这部作品极其成功地将惊险故事和道德寓言结合了起来”，对一位年仅34岁的青年作家来说，头一部作品就获得如此巨大的成功，在美国文学史上是罕见的。他的第二部小说《深海潜行》，描写潜入海底寻找沉宝的故事。1979年作者写了第三部长篇小说《海岛》，又被列为美国畅销书。三部小说都与大海有关，这是跟作者的生活经历分不开的。他的祖父在20年代就常到马萨诸塞州的海岛上去避暑，他的父母曾是该岛的居民。因此，他从小就熟悉大海，热爱大海；成为作家后，擅长以大海为题材进行创作本奇利说：“夏季，我和父母经常租船出海钓鲨，对鲨鱼的兴趣油然而生。” 1975年《读者文摘》出版了《大白鲨》的压缩本（不是简写本）本书就是根据这个压缩本排印的，加上中译文，与原文对照。文字经过压缩后，主题更加突出，情节更加紧凑，语言更加简练，更具有吸引力。根据同名小说改编的电影1975年在美国上映，成为美国70年代最卖座的影片之一，是灾难片的代表作。美国八大电影公司之一的环球公司为了拍摄这部影片，专门拔出巨款，制作了用电脑控制的大白鲨。影片拍完后，该公司又将道具大白鲨作为展品作现场表演，吸引了来自美国及世界各地的大批参观者和游客，再次为该公司赚取了大量金钱。由于影片取得巨大成功，不久后又拍了续集。1984年环球公司以佛罗里达的海滩为外景拍摄了《大白鲨》第3集。

简介：[This is the Audiobook CASSETTE Library Edition in vinyl case.] [Read by Grace Conlin] She was known for her outrageous one-liners, her ruthless theater criticism, her clever verses and bittersweet stories. But there was another side of Dorothy Parker: a private life set on a course of destruction through two divorces, a string of painful affairs, a lifelong problem with alcohol, and several suicide attempts. In this lively, absorbing biography, Marion Meade illuminates both sides of the fascinating Parker: her dark days, as well as her days in the sun at the Algonquin Round Table with Robert Benchley, George Kaufman, and Harold Ross and in Hollywood with S. J. Perelman, William Faulkner, and Lillian Hellman.

简介：When Harold Ross founded The New Yorker in 1925, he described it as a "comic weekly." And although it has become much more than that, it has remained true in its irreverent heart to the description, publishing the most illustrious literary humorists of the modern era, from Robert Benchley and Dorothy Parker to Woody Allen and Steve Martin. This anthology gathers together the funniest work of more than seventy contributors. Parodists take on not only writers like Hemingway and Kerouac, but TV documentaries, Italian cinema, and etiquette books. Other pieces offer perspectives on the heights of fame, the depths of social embarrassment, and the ups and downs of love and sex. A rich selection of humorous verse includes caustic gems by Dorothy Parker, the effortless whimsy of Phyllis McGinley, and Ogden Nash's unforgettable slapstick prosody, as well as forays by luminaries who ought to have known better.--From publisher description.
