Verse translation, in rhyming couplets. According to Wikipedia: "Homer is a legendary ancient Greek epic poet, traditionally said to be the author of the epic poems the Iliad and the Odyssey. The ancient Greeks generally believed that Homer was a historical individual, but modern scholars are skeptical: no reliable biographical information has been handed down from classical antiquity, and the poems themselves manifestly represent the culmination of many centuries of oral story-telling and a well-developed "formulaic" system of poetic composition."

This is illustrated and translated version od the "Jaufry the Knight and the Fair Brunissende" & “A Tale of the Times of King Arthur" Now of a tale of chivalry, of proper fashion, great allurement, full of-wise and courteous instances, and wherein abound acts of great prowess, strange adventures, assaults, encounters, and dread battles, you may list the telling. An it amuse you, I will relate thereof all that I do know, or that it please you to give ear unto. Let me know only that which ye desire, and if ye be inclined to listen in good sooth. When the minstrel doth indeed recite, neither should hearers buy nor sell, nor in low voice hold council; for thus the recital is lost to him who speaketh, and they methinks who listen cannot find therein great pleasure. I come, then, to recount to you tidings of the court of good King Arthur; he who was so worthy, so valiant, and so wise, that his name shall never die, but whereof shall eternally be spoken the mighty things he did; and the good knights, all for their prowess known, whom he did gather at his famed Round Table. In that court, the fairest and most loyal that ever shone beneath the stars, all men did find that counsel and that aid of which they stood in need. There triumphed right, and there were wrongs redressed. There dames and damsels, widows and orphans attacked unjustly, or disinherited by force, ne'er failed to meet with champions. The oppressed of all conditions there did find a refuge, and none e'er sought protection there in vain. Give, then, sweet welcome to a poem the fruit of such good place, and deign to listen unto it in peace. The troubadour who rhymed it never knew King Arthur; but he heard the entire story told at the court of the king of Aragon, the best of monarchs in this world. * Don Pedro III., killed in 1213 at the battle of Muret. A worthy father and a famous son, lord of goodly fortunes, humble in heart, and frank in nature as in mind, the king of Aragon loveth God and feareth Him; he maintaineth faith and loyalty, peace and justice: thus God protecteth him, giveth him the victory when he raiseth his banner against the infidel, and placeth him above all those who are alike worthy and bold. Where shall we seek youthful brows wearing a crown which emitteth rays of greater splendour He giveth good gifts to minstrels and to knights, and his court is the resort of all those who are esteemed brave and courteous. It was before him the troubadour heard related, by a stranger-knight of kin to Arthur and Sir Gawain, the song he here hath rhymed; and whereof the first adventure occurred while the king of the Round Table held his court at Carlisle on the day of Pentecost. The Adventure of the Forest Twas on the day of Pentecost, a feast which to Carlisle had drawn a host of knights, that Arthur, King of Briton's isle, his crown placed on his brows, and to the old monastic church proceeded to hear mass. And with him went a brilliant train, the Knights of the Round Table. There were Sir Gawain, Lancelot du Lac, Tristrem, and Ivan bold, Eric frank of heart, and Quex the seneschal, Percival and Calogrant, Cliges the worthy, Coedis the handsome knight, and Caravis short i' the arm; the whole of his bright court, indeed, was there, and many more whose names I have forgot. When mass was done, they to the palace home returned 'mid laughter and loud noise, the thoughts of each on pleasure only bent. Each on arrival gave his humour play. Some spoke of love, and some of chivalry; and some of ventures they were going to seek. Quex at this moment came into the hall, holding a branch of apple in his hand. All made room for him; for there were few who did not fear his tongue and the hard words which it was wont to utter. This baron bold held nothing in respect. E'en of the best he ever said the worst. But this apart, he was a brave stout knight, in council sage, a valiant man of war, and lord of lineage high..

在《新文科建设宣言》和区域国别研究人才紧缺的背景下，国家对外语专业提出了新的要求：培养一批“会语言、通规则、精领域”的区域国别研究人才。这就要求外语专业的学生不仅要精通外语，还要熟悉对象国的政治、经济、历史、外交、文化、社会等方方面面的知识。本书正是在这种背景下编纂而成，作为韩国国情概况类教材，本书的编写目的就是服务于区域国别研究，特别是韩国学研究人才培养的需求。因此，本书涵盖的时间维度和空间维度都较为广泛，从韩国的自然环境、历史、社会、礼仪、教育、文学、民俗、语言发展等各个方面对韩国的历史和现状行了深的考查和分析。

《诗翁彼豆故事集》几个世纪以来一直是巫师家庭中受欢迎的床边故事。这些经典的故事充满了魔法和诡计，并且寓教于乐；时至今日，小巫师们仍然沉迷于这些故事，就像十五世纪彼豆刚刚用羽毛笔在羊皮纸上写下这些故事时一样。书中共有五个故事：哈迷在《哈利·波特与死亡圣器》中见过的《三兄弟的传说》，还有《好运泉》《男巫的毛心脏》《巫师和跳跳埚》和《兔子巴比蒂和她的呱呱树桩》。这些叙事佳作还伴有阿不思·邓布利多教授的点评(由霍格沃茨档案馆友情提供)，他那富有启发性的见解让人看到，这些故事远远不只是道德寓言而已；并且，他让兔子巴比蒂和吐鼻涕虫的跳跳埚在麻瓜世界中变得和白雪公主和灰姑娘一样有名。魔法世界受欢迎的寓言故事新版上市，采用J.K.罗琳的原创文本，配上约翰尼·达德尔绘制的华丽封面，以及托米斯拉夫·托米奇的插图。本电子书一切收益归“荧光闪烁”基金会所有。“荧光闪烁”基金会是英国的注册慈善组织，注册号是1112575。“荧光闪烁”致力于结束儿童的孤儿院寄养，全世界有多达八百万弱势儿童寄居在孤儿院，这对他们其实有不良影响。这些儿童多很多并非孤儿，只是出身贫穷、先天残疾、患有疾病、少数族裔或生在一个有矛盾的家庭中。“荧光闪烁”的目标是将儿童和他们的家庭重新联结起来，倡导家庭形式的帮助方案，并帮助有能力的机构进行环境的改善，关闭孤儿院。

　　这本书的主要目的是给零基础的朋友们普及法语语音。法语的发音相对来说还是非常有规律的。每个字母或是字母组合，都对应着一个特定的发音，（也就是我们要学习的音素）。只要记住了这些字母和字母组合的发音规则，那么我们便可以自己拼读所有的法语单词。想要接触一门新的语言，直观的身体感受就是用耳听，用口读。这也是为什么我认为语音很重要的原因：自己能读会说，并且读得好听、说得漂亮，自然会收获自信和愉悦，也就有了更加深入学习的动力——好的开始是成功的一半。对于希望和将要在法国学习、工作、生活的朋友来说，法语不仅仅是你们与人交流的工具，也是帮助你们了解法国文化，融入法国社会的必要条件，更是你们在异国生活的某些情况下，保护自己，捍卫自己权利的有利武器。

"A historic cruise ship, a haunted ship, the Celtic American Line's Destiny sets sail from the Port of New Orleans - with a killer on board. He's known as the Archangel because of the way he displays his victims in churches. And the way he places a different saint's medallion on each one. No one knows exactly who he is or why he's doing this. Jackson Crow - head of the FBI's Krewe of Hunters, a special unit of paranormal investigators - is assigned to the case, along with local agent Jude McCoy. Then Alexi Cromwell, who works in the ship's piano bar, is drawn into the situation when a victim's ghost appears to her - and to Jude. A victim who knows only that the man who killed him and his finacee had boarded the Destiny. There are many suspects, but one by one they're ruled out... Or are they? In the end Jude and Alexi have to rely on each other to catch the killer and to escape his evil plans for her"--Provided by publisher.
