Historical novel set in Spain, where the British battled the French in the Napoleonic Wars. The Preface begins: ""As many boys into whose hands the present volume may fall will not have read my last year's book, With Moore in Corunna, of which this is a continuation, it is necessary that a few words should be said, to enable them to take up the thread of the story. It was impossible, in the limits of one book, to give even an outline of the story of the Peninsular War, without devoting the whole space to the military operations. It would, in fact, have been a history rather than a tale; and it accordingly closed with the passage of the Douro, and the expulsion of the French from Portugal." According to Wikipedia: "George Alfred Henty (8 December 1832 - 16 November 1902), referred to as G. A. Henty, was a prolific English novelist, special correspondent, and Imperialist born in Trumpington, Cambridgeshire, England. He is best known for his historical adventure stories that were popular in the late 19th century. His works include Out on the Pampas (1871), The Young Buglers (1880), With Clive in India (1884) and Wulf the Saxon (1895)."

In 1900, while excavating on Crete, the charismatic Victorian archaeologist Arthur Evans unearthed inscribed clay tablets amid the ruins of a lavish Bronze Age palace. Written by palace scribes circa 1450 b.c., the * they displayed featuring outline drawings of swords, chariots, and horses' heads, as well as other tiny pictograms resembled no alphabet ever seen. Evans named the * Linear B, and from the start it posed a deep mystery. No one knew what language Linear B recorded, much less what the curious in*ions meant. If the tablets could be deciphered, they would open a portal onto a refined, wealthy, and literate society that had flourished in Greek lands three thousand years earlier, a full millennium before the glories of the Classical Age.The Riddle of the Labyrinth is the true story of the quest to solve one of the most mesmerizing riddles in history Linear B and of the three brilliant, obsessed, and ultimately doomed investigators whose combined work would eventually crack the code. There was Evans, who had discovered the * but could never unravel it; Alice Kober, the fiery American scholar whose vital work on Linear B never got the recognition it deserved; and Michael Ventris, the haunted English architect who would solve the riddle triumphantly at the age of thirty only to die four years later under circumstances that remain the subject of speculation even now.For half a century some of the world's foremost scholars tried to coax the tablets to yield their secrets. Then, in 1952, the * was deciphered seemingly in a single stroke not by a scholar but by Ventris, an impassioned amateur whose obsession with the tablets had begun in childhood. The decipherment brought him worldwide acclaim. But it also cost him his architectural career, his ties to his family, and quite possibly his life.That is the narrative of the decipherment as it has been known thus far. But a major actor in the drama has long been missing: Alice Kober, a classicist at Brooklyn College. Though largely forgotten today, she came within a hair's breadth of deciphering Linear B before her own untimely death in 1950. As The Riddle of the Labyrinth reveals, it was Kober who built the foundation on which Ventris's decipherment stood, an achievement that until now has been all but lost to history. Drawing on a newly opened archive of Kober's papers, Margalit Fox restores this unsung heroine to her rightful place at last.Above all, this book is a detective story in the tradition of Dava Sobel and Simon Winchester. As Fox narrates the lives of Evans, Kober, and Ventris, she takes readers step-by-step through the forensic process involved in cracking a secret code from the past. Following the three investigators as they hunt down, analyze, and interpret a series of linguistic clues hidden within the * itself, The Riddle of the Labyrinth offers the first complete account of one of the most fascinating conundrums of all time.

《图解法语语法》系我社自德国PONS出版社引进并加以翻译改编的法语教辅，面向广大社会读者。 该书的主要特点有：1. 一图胜千言；2. 简化的视觉学习法；3. 有利于调动读者的情感。语法内容和视觉化表现形式结合，让读者学习语法更加轻松和积极。 【简化的视觉学习】 图片——不仅仅是图片，包括示意图、公式以及色彩都有助于我们的大脑构建和理解文章。正是利用了这一原理，本书使复杂枯燥的语法规则一目了然。本书并不是单纯的图册形式，它更多地以文章视觉化为基础，打破了纯文字这种单一的形式，以便读者更好地理解和吸收语言方面的内容。 【一图胜千言】 这一说法并非毫无依据，比起一篇文章来，我们的大脑可以更快地接受与之内容相对应的图片和视觉化的形式。事实也证明这一过程只需很短的时间。 【调动情感……】 ……比起未被关注的事物，我们能够更好地记下我们关注的词汇。图片和视觉化的表现形式非常适合传递情感，便于记忆并能促进学习动机的形成，而这正是有效学习的基础。语法内容和视觉化表现形式相互结合，形成了轻松且积极的学习条件。

《共产党宣言》是马克思主义学说的一座丰碑。不过，就文学性而言，这篇纲领也堪称佳作。仅看“一个幽灵，一个共产主义的幽灵，在欧洲游荡”这样的头，我们可能很难想像，它引出的是一篇战斗檄文。其实，非灵气在腕，曷能臻此。马克思还是语言艺术家。在1865年给恩格斯的信中，他就自己的作品这样说：“不管它们会有怎样的不足，我文章的优都是艺术性的整体。”长期以来，《共产党宣言》的政治因素往往遮盖了它的艺术色彩。而其犀利的笔锋、形象的比喻及晓畅的文字，不读原文，又是很难真正领略的。本书选篇能给中国的德语学习者，提供欣赏马克思主义创始人笔墨之美的契机。
