Face au drapeau est un roman d'anticipation de Jules Verne, paru en 1896. L'auteur fait part dans cette œuvre de son inquiétude face aux progrès techniques dans le domaine des explosifs, qui transparaissait déjà (mais avec une teinte d'humour) dans De la Terre à la Lune et qui s'affirme dans Les Cinq Cents Millions de la Bégum, en imaginant une bombe d'une puissance inouïe. Le héros tragique du roman, Thomas Roch, qui se trouve dans la position d'un moderne Coriolan, aurait été inspiré par l'inventeur de la mélinite, Eugène Turpin. Ce dernier traîna Jules Verne et son éditeur en justice pour diffamation. L'écrivain et Louis-Jules Hetzel furent défendus par Raymond Poincaré.

Persuasion is the last novel fully completed by Jane Austen. It was published at the end of 1817, six months after her death. The story concerns Anne Elliot, a young Englishwoman of 27 years, whose family is moving to lower their expenses and get out of debt, at the same time as the wars come to an end, putting sailors on shore. They rent their home to an Admiral and his wife. The wife’s brother, Navy Captain Frederick Wentworth, had been engaged to Anne in 1806, and now they meet again, both single and unattached, after no contact in more than seven years.
本书是蒋光慈旅居东京的日记，起于1929年8月25日，止于当年11月9日。日记中间有失记的地方；也许是作者公开出版时抽掉了，因为《序》中说“这是我在东京养病时一部分的日记”。这册日记的一部分，曾发表于《拓荒者》创刊号上，题为《东京之旅》。《异邦与故国》是部极好的抒情散文。1929年8月，作者迫于国内的险恶政治形势和个人处境，又加以肺病缠身，所以东渡日本去治病和创作，而日记中流露出的却是爱国的挚情，却是对政治和文艺动向的关心。日记的主调是对故国之思，书名为《异邦与故国》，也表明了这一点。《异邦与故国》又是具有极高史料价值的日记册。日记真实地记录了当年蒋光慈的革命工作和创作活动。
American Notes for General Circulation（美国纪行） 立即阅读
American Notes for General Circulation is a travelogue by Charles Dickens detailing his trip to North America from January to June 1842. While there he acted as a critical observer of North American society, almost as if returning a status report on their progress. This can be compared to the style of his Pictures from Italy written four years later, where he wrote far more like a tourist. His American journey was also an inspiration for his novel Martin Chuzzlewit. Having arrived in Boston, he visited Lowell, New York, and Philadelphia, and travelled as far south as Richmond, as far west as St.
