  MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 1942Dearest Kitty,Today I'll tell you the general news here in the Annex. A lamp has been mounted above my divan bed so that in the future, when I hear the guns going off, I'll be able to pull a cord and switch on the light. I can't use it at the moment because we're keeping our window open a little, day and night.The male members of the van Daan contingent have built a very handy wood-stained food safe, with real screens. Up to now this glorious cupboard has been located in Peter's room, but in the interests of fresh air it's been moved to the attic. Where it once stood, there's now a shelf. I advised Peter to put his table underneath the shelf, add a nice rug and hang his own cupboard where the table now stands. That might make his little cubbyhole more comfy, though I certainly wouldn't like to sleep there.Mrs. van Daan is unbearable. I'm continually being scolded for my incessant chatter when I'm upstairs. I simply let the words bounce right off me! Madame now has a new trick up her sleeve: trying to get out of washing the pots and pans. If there's a bit of food left at the bottom of the pan, she leaves it to spoil instead of transferring it to a glass dish. Then in the afternoon when Margot is stuck with cleaning all the pots and pans, Madame exclaims, "Oh, poor Margot, you have so much work to do!"Every other week Mr. Kleiman brings me a couple of books written for girls my age. I'm enthusiastic about the loop ter Heul series. I've enjoyed all of Cissy van Marxveldt's books very much. I've read The Zaniest Summer four times, and the ludicrous situations still make me laugh.Father and I are currently working on our family tree, and he tells me something about each person as we go along. I've begun my schoolwork. I'm working hard at French, cramming five irregular verbs into my head every day. But I've forgotten much too much of what I learned in school.Peter has taken up his English with great reluctance. A few schoolbooks have just arrived, and I brought a large supply of notebooks, pencils, erasers and labels from home. Pim (that's our pet name for Father) wants me to help him with his Dutch lessons. I'm perfectly willing to tutor him in exchange for his assistance with French and other subjects. But he makes the most unbelievable mistakes!I sometimes listen to the Dutch broadcasts from London. Prince Bernhard recently announced that Princess juliana is expecting a baby in January, which I think is wonderful. No one here understands why I take such an interest in the Royal Family.A few nights ago I was the topic of discussion, and we all decided I was an ignoramus. As a result, I threw myself into my schoolwork the next day, since I have little desire to still be a freshman when I'm fourteen or fifteen. The fact that I'm hardly allowed to read anything was also discussed. At the moment, Mother's reading Gentlemen, Wives and Servants, and of course I'm not allowed to read it (though Margot is!). First I have to be more intellectually developed, like my genius of a sister. Then we discussed my ignorance of philosophy, psychology and physiology (I immediately looked up these big words in the dictionary!). It's true, I don't know anything about these subjects. But maybe I'll be smarter next year!I've come to the shocking conclusion that I have only one long-sleeved dress and three cardigans to wear in the winter. Father's given me permission to knit a white wool sweater; the yarn isn't very pretty, but it'll be warm, and that's what counts. Some of our clothing was left with friends, but unfortunately we won't be able to get to it until after the war. Provided it's still there, of course.I'd just finished writing something about Mrs. van Daan when she walked into the room. Thump, I slammed the book shut."Hey, Anne, can't I even take a peek?""No, Mrs. van Daan.""Just the last page then?""No, not even the last page, Mrs. van Daan."Of course, I nearly died, since that particular page contained a rather unflattering description of her.There's something happening every day, but I'm too tired and lazy to write it all down.Yours, Anne

摘要:序章乌黑发亮的太空飞船的了望台上,霸主领事端坐在施坦威钢琴前,弹奏着拉赫马尼诺夫的《升C小调前奏曲》,虽然钢琴已是一件古董,却保存得完好如初。此时,舱下沼泽中,巨大的绿色蜥蜴状生物蠕动着,咆哮着。北方正酝酿着一场雷暴。长满巨大裸子植物的森林在乌青的黑云下现出黑色影像,而层积云就像万米高塔直插入狂暴天穹。闪电在地平线上肆虐。 [点击阅读]

摘要:“大江山高生野远山险路遥不堪行,未尝踏入天桥立,不见家书载歌来。”这是平安时期的女歌人小式部内侍作的一首和歌,被收录在百人一首中,高宫明美特别喜欢它。当然其中一个原因是歌中描绘了她居住的大江町的名胜,但真正吸引她的是围绕这首和歌发生的一个痛快淋漓的小故事,它讲述了作者如何才华横溢。小式部内侍的父亲是和泉国的国守橘道贞,母亲是集美貌与艳闻于一身,同时尤以和歌闻名于世的女歌人和泉式部。 [点击阅读]

摘要:这部作品于二零零一年春动笔,二零零二年秋在日本刊行。《海边的卡夫卡》这部长篇小说的基本构思浮现出来的时候,我脑袋里的念头最先是写一个以十五岁少年为主人公的故事。至于故事如何发展则完全心中无数(我总是在不预想故事发展的情况下动笔写小说),总之就是要把一个少年设定为主人公。这是之于我这部小说的最根本性的主题。 [点击阅读]

摘要:烟头的火光渐渐暗了下来。我们也渐渐感觉到一种幻灭般的失落:老同学又相聚在一起,发现彼此之间比原来想象的少了许多共同语言,这使得我们有一些难过。现在卢瑟福在写小说,而维兰德在使馆当秘书。维兰德刚刚在特贝霍夫饭店请我们吃饭,我觉得气氛并不热烈,席间,他都保持着作为一个外交官在类似场合必须具有的镇静。 [点击阅读]

摘要:莫泊桑是世界上数一数二的短篇小说大师,他在长篇小说创作上的成就往往因此而被湮没。其实,他在长篇小说创作上颇有建树:他继承了巴尔扎克、司汤达、福楼拜的现实主义传统,在心理描写上又开拓出新路。《漂亮朋友》就是前者的一部代表性*作品。莫泊桑从事长篇创作是在写作短篇小说之后,其时他并不满足于短篇小说所取得的成就。随着他声誉鹊起,他经常涉足上流社会,开阔了眼界,便想到从更广阔的背景上去反映社会现实。 [点击阅读]
