叶紫的第一部短篇小说。描写老农民云普叔一家头年因水灾丢了一老一小两条人命。次年高利借贷，卖女卖房，求神拜佛，再加上日夜苦干才夺得一个好收成。他满心欢喜，打算把债统统还清，再叫孩子饱饱地吃它几顿。不料，丰收后粮价猛跌，物价飞涨，高利贷和各种名目的捐税一齐涌进门来，半点钟功夫，一年辛苦所得的一仓谷被抢劫一空，而且还有捐税未清。云普叔气得倒地吐血，这才模模糊糊地意识到：只是苦吃苦做不行，还要像儿子立秋说的那样，“准备好不理他们”，或是来一次“大的拼命”才有出头之日。小说描写天灾人祸威逼下农民的苦难生活，揭示了陷农民于水火的人祸——封建官僚地主的黑暗统治，描写了农民的觉醒，显示了农村革命的前景。
Michael Strogoff: The Courier of the Czar (French: Michel Strogoff) is a novel written by Jules Verne in 1876. Critics, including Leonard S. Davidow,[1] consider it one of Verne's best books. Davidow wrote, "Jules Verne has written no better book than this, in fact it is deservedly ranked as one of the most thrilling tales ever written." Unlike some of Verne's other novels, it is not science fiction, but a scientific phenomenon (Leidenfrost effect) is a plot device. The book was later adapted to a play, by Verne himself and Adolphe d'Ennery. Incidental music to the play was written by Alexandre Artus in 1880.

周作人生前亲自编定的最全面、最权威的文集。学者止庵穷数年之力校订，力求还原周作人作品原貌。全面的关于鲁迅青少年时代的回忆录，真实还原有血有肉的“人”之鲁迅。周作人，鲁迅二弟，中国现代文学史上百科全书式的人物，最了解鲁迅的人之一。本书为鲁迅去世二十周年时，周作人应报刊之邀所写纪念文字的结集，是继《鲁迅的故家》《鲁迅小说里的人物》之后又一种关于鲁迅的著作。其在前者的基础上，补充了新的事实，且更为系统地介绍了鲁迅早年生活情状、学问兴趣所在、思想形成根基等。有别于当时诸多片面化、概念化的神化鲁迅之作，知堂尤为强调的是鲁迅作为“人”的一面，如《鲁迅的笑》《鲁迅与弟兄》各篇，让我们看到了“横眉怒目”而外“和蔼可亲”的鲁迅。
