Three Ghost Stories（三个鬼故事） 立即阅读
As a gifted writer with a strong interest in supernatural phenomena, Charles Dickens produced a string of ghost stories with enduring charm. Three of them are presented here, of which The Signal Man is one of the best known. Though quite different from his most celebrated realistic and humorous critical novels, these ghost stories, Gothic and grotesque as they are, are of good portrayal, and worth a read/listen.

姐妹俩梅英、菊芬因为读了革命文学家江霞的进步文章而受到革命的鼓舞，决定逃出家庭的桎梏，在外面闯荡革命，在同江霞认识之后，更激起了两人革命的热情，使她们可以毫不畏惧的为革命牺牲生命。在蒋光慈的想象中，男性革命者只要坚持进行革命活动和创作，就不愁女性同胞的青睐，更主要的是男性可以直接用自己的言行、思想左右女性的想法与行动，他们通过对女性的教育改造以获得对自我价值的认同感，达到内心世界的满足。一方面男性用男权文化侵蚀着女性，另一方面，这些接受了五四新文化的现代女性，仍旧是表面现代、内心传统的旧时代女性，她们本身不具有任何价值，只有当其满足男性的某种需要或是激发男性的革命的热情时才能证明其存在的价值，这种男性中心意识在蒋光慈的作品中表现的是如此赤裸裸。
