欧洲中世纪的传说，与希腊神话一般，引起了一切诗人、艺术家的感兴。他们以这些传说为骨子，做了许多鸿篇，或为华丽的诗歌，或为怆凉的歌剧。给欧洲的文艺界以陆离的光彩的，是这些传说。因此，如果忽略了欧洲的传说，则泰西文艺的一半所含有的滋味，便不能尝到了。具体包括：夏莱曼王与罗兰特的传说、贝奥武尔夫故事、埃塞王和圆桌骑士的传说、兰斯罗德的传说、泥柏隆根故事等。

Leaving the secluded home of her guardian for the first time, beautiful Evelina Anville is captivated by her new surroundings in London's beau monde--and in particular by the handsome, chivalrous Lord Orville. But her enjoyment soon turns to mortification at the hands of her vulgar and capricious grandmother, and the rakish Sir Clement Willoughby, who torments the naive young woman with his unwanted advances. And while her aristocratic father refuses to acknowledge her legitimacy, Evelina can hold no hope of happiness with the man she loves. Published anonymously in 1778, Frances Burney's epistolary novel brought her instant fame when the secret of its authorship was revealed. With its ingenious combination of romance and satire, comedy and melodrama, Evelina is a sparkling depiction of the dangers and delights of fashionable society.

Together they give clues to the location of Captain Harry Grant, whose ship the Britannia was lost at sea. While the latitude of Grant is known from the notes, the longitude is a mystery. Lord Glenarvan makes it his quest to find Grant; together with his wife, Harry Grant's two children, and the crew of his yacht the Duncan, they set off for South America.

Includes 90 vintage illustrations from the original 1873 edition.

"Mansfield Park"encompasses not only Jane Austen's great comedic gifts and her genius as a historian of the human animal,but her personal credo as well--her faith in a social order that combats chaos through civil grace, decency,and wit.At the novel's center is Fanny Price,the classic"poor cousin,"brought as a child to Mansfield Park by the rich Sir Thomas Bertram and his wife as an act of charity. Over time, Fanny comes to demonstrate forcibly those virtues Austen most admired: modesty, firm principles, and a loving heart. As Fanny watches her cousins Maria and Julia cast aside their scruples in dangerous flirtations (and worse),and as she herself resolutely resists the advantages of marriage to the fascinating but morally unsteady Henry Crawford,her seeming austerity grows in appeal and makes clear to us why she was Austen's own favorite among her heroines.

Mark Twain is best known for his novels and short stories. Twain uses his incredible whit to depict life in America. His books Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn have been read by school children for generations. His life on the Mississippi River has peeked the imagination of boys to go and build a raft and sail off into unknown adventures. Double Barrelled Detective Story is a story in which Sherlock Holmes finds himself in the Old West. From Wikipedia, At a mining camp in California, Fetlock Jones, a nephew of Sherlock Holmes, kills his master, a silver-miner, by blowing up his cabin. Since this occurs when Holmes happens to be visiting, he brings his skills to bear upon the case and arrives at logically worked conclusions that are proved to be abysmally wrong by an amateur detective with an extremely keen sense of smell, which he employs in solving the case. This could be seen as yet another piece where Twain tries to prove that life does not quite follow logic.

"At sea, when the nets are out and the pipes are lit, then will some ancient hoarder of tales become loquacious, telling his histories to the tune of the creaking of the boats.

The boy, quivering with rage, had sprung to his feet, and, losing his balance, he fell forward clutching at the table, whilst with a convulsive movement of the lids, he tried in vain to suppress the tears of shame which were blinding him. "Coward " He tried to shout the insult so that all might hear, but his parched throat refused him service, his trembling hand sought the scattered cards upon the table, he collected them together, quickly, nervously, fingering them with feverish energy, then he hurled them at the man opposite, whilst with a final effort he still contrived to mutter: "Coward "
