1. 简爱 Oliver Twist, one of the most famous works of Charles Dickens’, is a novel reflecting the tragic fact of the life in Britain in 18th century. The author who himself was born in a poor family wrote this novel in his twenties with a view to reveal the ugly masks of those cruel criminals and to expose the horror and violence hidden underneath the narrow and dirty streets in London. The hero of this novel was Oliver Twist, an orphan, who was thrown into a world full of poverty and crime. He suffered enormous pain, such as hunger, thirst, beating and abuse. While reading the tragic experiences of the little Oliver, I was shocked by his sufferings. I felt for the poor boy, but at the same time I detested the evil Fagin and the brutal Bill. To my relief, as was written in all the best stories, the goodness eventually conquered devil and Oliver lived a happy life in the end. One of the plots that attracted me most is that after the theft, little Oliver was allowed to recover in the kind care of Mrs. Maylie and Rose and began a new life. He went for walks with them, or Rose read to him, and he worked hard at his lessons. He felt as if he had left behind forever the world of crime and hardship and poverty. How can such a little boy who had already suffered oppressive affliction remain pure in body and mind? The reason is the nature of goodness. I think it is the most important information implied in the novel by Dickens-he believed that goodness could conquer every difficulty. Although I don’t think goodness is omnipotent, yet I do believe that those who are kind-hearted live more happily than those who are evil-minded. For me, the nature of goodness is one of the most necessary character for a person. Goodness is to humans what water is to fish. He who is without goodness is an utterly worthless person. On the contrary, as the famous saying goes, ‘The fragrance always stays in the hand that gives the rose’, he who is with goodness undoubtedly is a happy and useful person. People receiving his help are grateful to him and he also gets gratified from what he has done, and thus he can do good to both the people he has helped and himself. To my disappointment, nowadays some people seem to doubt the existence of the goodness in humanity. They look down on people’s honesty and kindness, thinking it foolish of people to be warm-hearted. As a result, they show no sympathy to those who are in trouble and seldom offer to help others. On the other hand, they attach importance to money and benefit. In their opinion, money is the only real object while emotions and morality are nihility. If they cannot get profit from showing their ‘kindness’, they draw back when others are faced with trouble and even hit a man when he is down. They are one of the sorts that I really detest. Francis Bacon said in his essay, ‘Goodness, of all virtues and dignities of the mind, is the greatest, being the character of the Deity, and without it, man is a busy, mischievous, wretched thing, no better than a kind of vermin.’ That is to say a person without goodness is destined to lose everything. Therefore, I, a kind person, want to tell those ‘vermin-to-be’ to learn from the kind Oliver and regain the nature of goodness.2.双城记 After reading A tale of two cities A tale of two cities is one of Dickens's most important representative works.The novel profoundly exposed the society contradiction before the French Revolution,intensely attacks the aristocratic social class is dissolute and cruel,and sincerely sympathizes with the depressed classes.The novel also described many magnificent scenes like the revolt people attacked Bastille and so on,which displayed people's great strength.

When I read the senior fisherman think: Here to the seacoast really was too near, perhaps could have a bigger fish in a farther place... When, I extremely admire this senior fisherman, because he by now already projected on some fish, but he had not settled to the present situation, but was approaches the bigger goal advance. Again has a look us, usually meets one slightly is difficult, we all complain incessantly. We will be the motherland future, will be supposed to like this old person same mind lofty aspiration, will even better pursue even better, the bigger goal.

When, my heart also liked together the big stone falls. I extremely admire old person that kind do not dread, the relentless spirit, although knows the match strength is very strong, but he not slightly flinches, but is welcomes difficultly above. Just because had this kind of spirit, the senior fisherman only then achieved this life and death contest success. We also must study senior fisherman's spirit in life, handles the matter does not fear the difficulty, only then can obtain successfully.

But the big fish's meat was already eaten one most, but the old person also charmingly criticized oneself the left hand this work time actually was resting time, I also was subdued by the old person optimistic spirit. In the life, some losses are inevitable, we should treat by the optimistic manner, cannot be calculating. Finally, the novel sees by one youth the senior fisherman fully has 18 foot long big marlin in the measure, once more described this fish's hugeness, explained senior fisherman overcomes the difficulty was big, non- was more common than. The novel eulogized the spirit which the senior fisherman fear hard and dangerous diligently did not struggle, we also should like his such, could not satisfy the present situation, should positively to above, do any matter all is relentless, meets difficultly must welcome difficultly above, could give up halfway in no way. Only has this, we only then can obtain a bigger success and the victory. 4.雾都孤儿 To Regain the Nature of Goodness -- Review of ‘Oliver Twist’ Oliver Twist, one of the most famous works of Charles Dickens’, is a novel reflecting the tragic fact of the life in Britain in 18th century.

人类简史 读后感800字
当我看完了这本书,我真的给赫拉利的这套惊艳到了,原史还可以从这种角度进看去理解。
我们人类作为万物之灵,并不是因为单纯的我们拥有语言和会使用工具。
人类之所以凌驾于万物之上,是因为整个地球上唯一突破了邓巴数字的物种。
(当然我们也拥有最复杂的语言和最先进的工具)所以人类崛起的秘密在于集体的协作集体的崛起,并不是个体的崛起。
人类崛起以后我们就开始了出现新的思维,这我们就开始学会讲故事了(所以说谎言从我们开始思考就出现了)。
传说,神话以及宗教就开始出现了。
其中有一个最成功的故事那就是货币,以前我总是不明白一张纸为什么会拥有购买力,现在明白了那是因为这是一个我们共同相信的故事,一个很发达很完善的故事。
所以购买力的强弱就跟讲出这个故事的主人挂钩(这个在经济学上称之为背书)了。
当这个故事的主人(一般是一个国家)他很有实力,相信的人越多,购买力就强。
其中在科技革命有一个很犀利的观点,那就是科学革命的本质就是承认无知的革命。
然后去探索未知,取得新的知识。
这让我想起了我们国家的清朝政府,如果他们当时能够早点摆脱自己是天朝大国的这种思想,承认自己的科学并不能解释所有的问题。
可能就不会出现后来的闭关锁国和被侵略的事情。
但这些都是如果而已了。
引用作者的一句话那就是“历史的铁则就是:事后看来无可避免的事,在当时看来总是毫不明显”。
最后看这本书让我感受最深的就是当你的知识足够全面足够多时,你就能组成一套自己逻辑正确(一定意义上的正确)地去理解社会和历史,甚至去推演未来。
钱钟书《围城》中体现的爱情观
爱情是荒芜的人性中的一点稀微的灵光,却又被情欲与私欲糟蹋得面目全非。
同鲍小姐的荒唐劣迹,同苏小姐的虚以逶迤,同苏小姐堂妹的一厢情愿,同孙小姐的仓促婚礼。
全程都体现着一个主题,爱欲与私欲的交织与纠缠。
围城中的爱情观,说得明白一点儿,其实就是一种回归现实的思考,是突破浪漫与野蛮的混杂氛围的理性觉察。
它打破了恋爱神圣的精神幻想,展现给读者一个清晰的真实地恋爱到婚姻现实历程。
套用它的名句来说,婚姻就像围城,外面的人想进去,里面的人想出来。
这本书就是给外面的人以窥探城里人真实生活的机会,同时让城里人倾诉进城后的感知。
房龙的全部作品和生平
房龙1882年出生于荷兰鹿特丹一个富裕家庭。
自幼对历史、地理、船舶、绘画和音乐等发生兴趣。
1902年只身赴美国,入康奈尔大学,1905年获学士学位,1911年在慕尼黑大学获博士学位。
房龙早年的生活并不顺利,他的第一部著作《荷兰共和国的覆亡》虽然得到了一定认可,但销路并不理想。
1920年他应书商要约写作《古人类》,才取得一定销量,然而却并不足以扭转他的经济状况。
此后房龙写出多部畅销全美市场的作品,其中《圣经的故事》、《人类的故事》和《宽容》最为著名。
至1920年代末期他积累到一定财富,在美国和欧洲购置了房产,不再受限于经济问题,可以自由地从事创作和社会活动了。
房龙曾在康奈尔大学(1915-1917)和俄亥俄州安条克学院(1921-1922)取得过教职,校方认为他的课非常吸引学生,但是缺乏科学性,且无助于提高学生的历史成绩。
房龙曾以记者身份报道1905年俄国革命和第一次世界大战。
房龙常以自己手绘的漫画作为自己作品的插图。
房龙结过三次婚:1906年,他与来自马萨诸塞州上流家庭的Eliza Ingersoll Bowditch (数学家Nathaniel Bowditch的后代)结婚,育有两子。
1920年娶第二任妻子Eliza Helen Criswell(昵称“吉米”)。
在第三段婚姻结束后房龙一直与吉米同居直到去世。
《房龙传》的作者,房龙次子杰勒德·威廉·房龙认为房龙并不爱吉米,而只是把她看作工作和生活秘书。
房龙身高达2.08米,亦相当肥胖,有“大象”的绰号。
他的身体状况一直不甚理想,最后死于心脏病发。
此外因长期从事写作,房龙长期患有神经衰弱。
