简介：
There was once a woman who lived with her daughter in a beau-tiful cabbage garden… Ordered by her mother to drive away the rabbit who is eating up all their cabbages, our maiden obediently "shoo-shoos" the intruder. This is to no effect, and instead of contin- uing her efforts, she climbs upon the rabbit for a ride that ends in a most unexpected situation.
Animal guests are gathered and a wedding under way, as the maiden weeps. Ordered by the Rabbit to do what she will not, our bride-to-be takes matters into her own hands.
Caldecott Honor artist Holly Meade invokes the Brothers Grimm in a fairy tale she has made her distinctive own. Vibrant water- colors depict seemingly innocent events furthering the overall effect that this is no ordinary story.

简介："Most people think of fairy tales as having been created anonymously and almost magically long ago, and later discovered and recorded by scholars such as the Brothers Grimm. In fact original fairy tales are still being written. Over the last century and a half many well-known authors have used the characters and settings and themes of traditional tales such as 鈥機inderella鈥? 鈥橦ansel and Gretel鈥? and 鈥橞eauty and the Beast鈥?to produce new and characteristic works of wonder and enchantment. The Oxford Book of Modern Fairy Tales brings together forty of the best of these stories by British and American writers from John Ruskin and Nathaniel Hawthorne to I. B. Singer and Angela Carter." "These tales are full of princes and princesses, witches and dragons and talking animals, magic objects, evil spells, and unexpected endings. Some of their authors, like John Ruskin and Oscar Wilde, use the form to point a social or spiritual moral; others such as Jeanne Desy and Richard Kennedy, turn the traditional stories inside out to extraordinary effect. James Thurber, Bernard Malamud, and Donald Barthelme, among many others, bring the characters and plots of the traditional fairy tale into the contemporary world to make satiric comments on modern life." "The literary skill, wit, and sophistication of these stories appeal to an adult audience, even though some of them were originally written for children. They include light-hearted comic fairy stories like Charles Dickens鈥檚 鈥橳he Magic Fishbone鈥?and L. F. Baum鈥檚 鈥橳he Queen of Quok鈥? thoughtful and often moving tales like Lord Dunsany鈥檚 鈥橳he Kith of the Elf Folk鈥?and Philip K. Dick鈥檚 鈥橳he King of the Elves鈥? and profoundly disturbing ones like Lucy Lane Clifford鈥檚 鈥橳he New Mother鈥? and Ursula Le Guin鈥檚 鈥橳he Wife鈥檚 Story鈥? Together they prove that the fairy tale is not only one of the most popular and enduring forms, but a significant and continually developing part of literature."--BOOK JACKET.

简介：Summary: Publisher Summary 1 In the New Literatures in English, nature has long been a paramount issue: the environmental devastation caused by colonialism has left its legacy, with particularly disastrous consequences for the most vulnerable parts of the world. At the same time, social and cultural transformations have altered representations of nature in postcolonial cultures and literatures. It is this shift of emphasis towards the ecological that is addressed by this volume. A fast-expanding field, ecocriticism covers a wide range of theories and areas of interest, particularly the relationship between literature and other 'texts' and the environment. Rather than adopting a rigid agenda, the interpretations presented involve ecocritical perspectives that can be applied most fruitfully to literary and non-literary text. Some are more general, 'holistic' approaches: literature and other cultural forms are a 'living organism', part of an intellectual ecosystem, implemented and sustained by the interactions between the natural world, both human and non-human, and its cultural representations. 'Nature' itself is a new interpretative category in line with other paradigms such as race, class, gender, and identity. A wide range of genres are covered, from novels or films in which nature features as the main topic or 'protagonist' to those with an ecocritical agenda, as in dystopian literature. Other concerns are: nature as a cultural construct; 'gendered' natures; and the city/country dichotomy. The texts treated challenge traditional Western dualisms (human/animal, man/nature, woman/man). While such global phenomena as media ('old' or 'new'), tourism, and catastrophes permeate many of these texts, there is also a dual focus on nature as the inexplicable, elusive 'Other' and the need for human agency and global responsibility. Laurenz Volkmann is Professor of EFL Teaching at Friedrich Schiller University, Jena, where NAncy Grimm and Katrin Thomson also teach. Ines Detmers is a lecturer in English literature at the Technical University of Chemnitz.   Publisher Summary 2 Volkmann (EFL teaching, Friedrich Schiller U., Jena, Germany) et al. bring together 24 essays that examine nature and the environment in literary texts and how they contribute to a sense of global responsibility. Essays range in topic from literature as a living organism to nature as a category like race, class, and gender. They include discussion of ecocriticism and News from Nowhere, Herland, and Men Like Gods; novels and films that feature nature, or have an ecocritical or dystopian theme, such as The Hungry Tide, The Hunter, Shallows, and River Thieves; nature as a cultural construct; notions of place; Western dualisms like human versus animal and man versus nature in books such as The Whale Caller, Foe, and Heart of Darkness; and representations of ecological disasters in novels and films like Frankenstein, Oryx and Crake, The Day After Tomorrow, and Videodrome. Papers are revised from presentations given at the nineteenth annual conference of the German Society for the Study of New English Literatures, held in Jena, Germany, in May 2007. Contributors work in literature, languages, and cultural studies around the world. Annotation 漏2010 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

简介：When Bill Moyer's PBS special on Robert Bly, "A Gathering of Men," aired in the winter of 1990, it brought forth an unprecedented flood of calls and letters from both men and women attesting to the pain and confusion experienced by many contemporary men. Iron John is Robert Bly's long-awaited book on male initiation and the role of the mentor, the result of ten years' work with men to discover the truths about masculinity that get beyond the stereotypes of our popular culture. In the tradition of Blake, Yeats, and D.H. Lawrence, Bly has turned to the most ancient stories and legends to remind men and women of welcome image long forgotten, images of a vigorous masculinity both protective and emotionally centered. Bly takes as the frame for his book the tale of "Iron John." Which the Grimm brothers collected in the early nineteenth century, but which in its themes and motifs goes back thousands of years, In the story, an ancient "hairy man" - Iron John - becomes mentor to a young boy, and each event or adventure is regarded as a stage of male growth. As Bly retells the story, he stops at times to reflect on initiation rituals for men which still go on in some parts of the world or are still remembered in epics such as The Odyssey. As the book progresses, it brings together a rich and coherent picture of what it meant through time to pass from boyhood into manhood. Throughout that long history of initiation the role of the older man has been central. Yet in our own time, the young men Bly observes are hungering for the father and the mentor as intensely as they hunger for food. Some stay stuck in the "tough guy" mode. Others linger in the na茂vet茅 that destroys relationships, so doubtful of themselves that they can be life preserving ... but not life giving. Such men in recent times have been directed toward some form of "higher" consciousness, or perhaps "higher" achievement. Bly offers instead the way of descent, in which the psyche learns to grieve. As "Iron John" and so many other stories show us, grief - the time of ashes - is the door to feelings. Iron John also points the way toward developing what Bly calls the "inner warrior," whose task is not hostility and aggression but a steady resolve to know and to defend what one lives. This initiatory path, which is long, begins by getting in touch with the "Wild Man" who reconnects us to the earth and who helps us, in the terms given by the story, "steal the key from under the mother's pillow." But unlike Freud, Bly does not "blame the mother" for the boy's problems. The initiatory process as Bly presents it honors the feminine and involves partnership with the feminine. This book returns responsibility to the older males for bringing the boy into the world of men. Iron John is at the same time a new vision and a very ancient vision of adult manhood, one that has depth, vividness, and solidarity. It reconfirms the power of ancient stories to guide, to heal, and to convey the deepest truths, and it will be read by men and women for decades. - Dust jacket.

简介： 　　《声梦奇缘》讲述了来自爱尔兰的天资非凡的小提琴家与年轻的女大提琴家在纽约市的华盛顿广场相遇，并迅速坠入爱河，但却因故被迫分开。而两人的一夜情产物——奥古斯特·拉什也因此成为了孤儿！10年后，无依无靠的奥古斯特只能在纽约街头卖艺为生。他那超强的音乐天赋引起了一位名为“巫师”的浪人歌手注意，在“巫师”的帮助下，奥古斯特带着心中的那份执着，开始一段用音乐寻找失散父母的非凡旅程…… 　　凯丽·拉塞尔：1998年，凯丽·拉塞尔开始出演让自己的名字家喻户晓的角色，WB剧集《Felicity》中的同名主人公，这是一位为了自己心爱的人而放弃去斯坦福医学院的机会，跨越大半个美国追寻他的女大学生的角色；本片在1999年为她赢得了一座金球奖杯。甜美的凯丽拥有一头金黄、卷曲的长发，Felicity的这一特征如此受到观众的喜爱，以致于第二季开播凯丽将头发剪短时引发了强烈的不满，甚至造成剧集收视率的急剧下降。这次事件也带来了一次改革，那就是以后剧集的签约演员们必须得到电视台的同意之后才可以改变自己的发型。收视不良使得《Felicity》的播放被改在了周日晚上不利的时间，这次发型事件对于凯丽的事业造成了难以估计的影像。该剧拍摄期间，凯丽出演的影片《Eight Days a Week》、《The Curve》、《Mad About Mambo》都仅仅在北美少量影院上映，没有引起大的反响，直到2002年在梅尔·吉布森的影片《We Were Soldiers》里出演一位美国大兵的妻子，影片在《Felicity》结束的两个月之后上映。然而离开成名作《Felicity》之后，凯丽暂时停止了工作，甚至考虑一度放弃演员事业。她搬家到纽约，和朋友一起度过了两年时间，试图远离好莱坞的喧嚣。2004年，凯丽首次登上了外百老汇的舞台，同Jeremy Piven、Andrew McCarthy、Ashlie Atkinson合作演出尼尔·拉布特戏剧《Fat Pig》；2005年凯丽重新回归大小银幕，接拍剧集《Into the West》，电视电影《The Magic of Ordinary Days》以及讽刺喜剧《The Upside of Anger》等。尽管《Felicity》的大部分演员通过新剧《Alias》重新聚集到制片人J.J. 艾布斯麾下，但是凯丽拒绝了演出邀请；2007年次邀请她出演自己导演的影片《碟中谍3》，这次凯丽答应了。2006年5月影片上映之后，凯丽·拉塞尔被挑选为化妆品品牌CoverGirl的代言人。接下来她曾读过影片《超人归来》的剧本并试镜，但Lois Lane一角她最终输给了凯特·波茨沃斯，两人2007年又在《The Girl In The Park》一片中合作。之后凯丽·拉塞尔客串出演了NBC剧集《Scrubs》的第二季，并凭借独立电影《Waitress》中扮演一位意外怀孕的女招待的演技受到评论界好评；此外她还出演了《Butterfly: A Grimm Love Story》里一位在报纸上发表关于连环谋杀案件的专稿的女研究生，原定在德国上映的该片却最终被法庭宣判禁止登陆德国。 　　弗莱迪·海默：来自伦敦的海默的父亲即是一位演员，两人还在电视剧Jack and the Beanstalk: The Real Story扮演过父子。2004年，他和约翰尼·德普合作了《寻找梦幻岛》，在其中扮演了激发德普灵感的小飞侠原型的小孩Peter。片中他的表演让德普惊为天人，所以在和老搭档蒂姆·波顿合作《查理和巧克力工厂》时，德普力荐海默扮演片中善良的穷人家的孩子查理。结果他的表演没有让大家失望，也让越来越多的人认识了这个单纯可爱的英国小演员。2006年，海默出演了法国大导演吕克·贝松的影片《亚瑟和他的迷你王国》，扮演片中主角勇敢的少年亚瑟。之后又在《一年好时光》里扮演澳洲天王罗素·克劳的少年时代。2007年他又与乔纳森·莱斯·梅耶斯、凯丽·拉塞尔等联袂出演了《声梦奇缘》，在其中扮演一个音乐神童，2008年主演《奇幻精灵事件簿》，一人分饰两角，扮演一对性格相反的孪生兄弟，相当有难度，而海默完成得十分出色。接下来的两三年间，海默都片约满满，2009年他还要为《铁臂阿童木》中的阿童木配音。

简介：《格林童话杰克与豆梗?世界名著经典童话》内容简介：你想快速提高听力水平而又节约时间吗？你想掌握地道的发音而又无需寻找外籍人士交流吗？你想体味原汁原味的英文对白而又不必远涉重洋吗？你想成为博览群书的人才而又不必天天苦读名著吗？那就打开你的耳朵，静静地听吧，这套世界名著英文初级听力正是为你量身打造的听力教程。它能帮助你全方位提高英文水平，掌握更多的测试技巧。 怎么才能提高英语听力水平呢？ 或许有人会说：“只要长期坚持听下去，耳朵自然而然就会‘开窍’了。”这种说法固然有一定的道理，但它却忽略了一个重要的前提条件。那就是在听之前必须首先具备一定的词汇量和相当的语法基础。因此，对中学生、大学生及具有初级英语水平的读者来说。盲目地收听连意思都弄不太明白的英语广播，或者去学习难度较高的听力教材，对提高听力水平是没有什么太大帮助的。 每天反复收听与自己水平相符的听力材料 对英语学习者来说，提高听力的最好方法就是选择与自己水平相符的听力材料，坚持每天反复收每天反复收听与自己水平相符的听力材料听，以熟悉英语特有的音调和节奏。如果听力材料的内容又是听者所熟悉并感兴趣的题材，学习就更会事半功倍了。 本套教材中，每《格林童话杰克与豆梗?世界名著经典童话》里都收录了一篇或多篇为大众所熟知的英文小说名作，使用的词汇也是日常生活中最基本、最常用的700个左右的单词。之所以选择这些通俗易懂的小说名篇作听力材料，是为了让读者通过反复听这些浅显的句子，来熟悉英语的音调和节奏，并培养类推能力。 摆脱单词的桎梏，把握故事的脉络 对英语学习者来说，最必要的听力训练不是死抠每一个单词的意义，而是利用自己在听的过程中所捕捉到的几个关键词去推测、把握整个故事的内容梗概。如果先对材料内容有一个大概的了解。然后再去听的话，这种听力训练的效果会更加明显。 磁带语速为较正常语速稍慢的每分钟120词 为方便读者学习。本套教材配备的磁带以较正常语速（每分钟140-160词）稍慢的每分钟约120词的语速录制。另外。磁带中以大约每五分钟为一个听力小单元，在每个大段落的课文录音结束之后，还有该课文段落中出现的听力点部分的重复录音，以帮助听者进行完整的听力训练。这是本套教材的主要特色。这些听力点包括听者在进行该段落听力练习时需要掌握的音的省略、音的同化、辅音连辍、不完全爆破、失去爆破和连读及易混淆音等相关内容。 本套教材的课文总价采取英汉对照的形式，并且在每页的译文后都收录有选自原文的难度较大的单词、短语和句子，配以详细的注释和例句，以进一步提高听者的英文阅读和理解能力。

简介："Children’s literature? Have children really ever had a literature of their own? Jack Zipes - translator of the Grimm tales, teacher, storyteller, and scholar - has never flinched from the hard questions about kids and books. In Sticks and Stones he raises the stakes for everyone who cares about children’s literature and culture. From the grisly nineteenth-century moralism of Slovenly Peter (whose fingers get cut off) to the wildly successful Harry Potter books, children’s literature is in many ways the "grown-ups’ version" - a story about childhood that adults tell to kids. And that, argues Jack Zipes, can be a problem: even the experts don’t really know what children make of what we give them." "Sticks and Stones argues that despite common American assumptions about children’s books, our investment in children is paradoxically curtailing their freedom and creativity."--BOOK JACKET.
