2017 film by David Leitch

梁光正的世界，梁光正的儿女们知道得并不多。
他在一个充满饥饿、批斗和动乱的年代里，拥有瘫痪在床的妻子、年幼的四子、一两个情人、四五个继子和用不完的热情。他一厢情愿地将这些“家人”捏合在一起，并全力爱他们，在养家糊口的路上意气风发地狂奔、头破血流地栽倒、不知 休止地反复。
故事以他老年执意寻亲报恩为起点，子女们得以回顾父亲如西西弗般屡战屡败、永不言弃的奋斗史和爱情史。随着记忆的深入，一件尘封多年的可怕往事浮出水面，子女们不得不重新面对自己的良心和对父亲爱恨难明的情感纠葛。
梁光正是从不害怕的，他内心自有“道理”，世间一切事必得循此发生，否则难逃他的檄文。他随时随地的不识时务令儿女们厌烦，但他从不迷茫，即使撒泼打滚、做小伏低也要贯彻自己的“道理”。梁光正的世界就像一团孤独的乱麻，热情地席卷过所有人，留下一地慌乱。
他是一个农民，也是个斗士，他的一生就这么愚蒙而固执、仁厚而浪漫、自大而狂热地战斗着，像一条无理取闹的“老狗”。直到他棺材落地，人们才突然发觉，这世界过于空旷。

20世纪60年代，旅居英美数十载的蒋彝带着他的乡愁行至日本。
抛开所有对这片土地的固有印象，他的足迹远超大多数日本国人之所及。
去东京观看国际大都会的繁华演绎；
到古都奈良寻找千年前的一株八重樱；
在河口湖畔等待云消雾霁后富士山的笑靥；
于十和田的风雨里探访传说中耶稣的坟茔。
兴之所至，
雍容古雅的伊势神乐信手成诗；
华丽摩登的宝冢歌舞挥笔成画。
蒋彝用他中国传统文人的行游方式，
一程又一程地描绘这个国度的别样风情。
是为《日本画记》。

扁脸；鼻子没有什么鼻梁；头发乌黑，夹着几丝白发；双眼微微地斜着，往下而不是朝上；身穿英国五十先令定制的灰色外套；走路不像英国人；兴许是个白痴，因为他两眼不眨地久久盯着一棵小枫树，盯着湖上的三只白鸭，看的时间更长；漫步而行，仿佛大病住院了多年似的。 ——蒋彝“自画像”

他是中国文化的国际使者，英国皇家艺术学会会员，美国科学院艺术学院院士。
他是饮誉国际的散文家、画家、诗人、书法家，受到西方学界和艺术界的高度评价，贡布里希盛赞他“才华洋溢又迷人”。
他交游广阔，朋友圈里有杨联陞、徐悲鸿、刘海粟、梅兰芳、熊式一、萧乾、叶君健、吴世昌、铃木大拙、华兹生……
他在旅行中喜欢沉默不语，抛开政治、战争等因素描绘异乡的风景人文，一系列隽永的画记却成功打通中西文化成为经典，经久不衰。
今天我们重读他这些出版于上世纪中叶的作品，不仅仅是为了解一个遥远国度的文化历史背景，更在于享受那份行走观察中淡然的快乐，体悟文化与人生的心境，重新认识周遭的世界，感受生命的美好。

▼内容简介
查尔斯•W. 艾略特（Charles W. Eliot，1834—1926），哈佛大学第21任校长，曾任美国中等教育十人委员会主席、美国进步教育协会第一任名誉主席，美国近代最伟大的教育家，被罗斯福总统誉为“共和国第一公民”。
自1869年上任，艾略特在哈佛大 学实施了一系列改革——主张自然科学与人文科学并重，积极倡导选修制，提高入学标准，加强教师队伍建设，开展研究生教育，倡导学术自由……这些教育改革措施对美国教育界乃至整个人类教育的进步产生了深远影响。在他的带领下，哈佛大学从偏安一隅的传统学院发展成为世界顶尖大学。
1909年从哈佛退休后，艾略特积极投身公共教育事业，并主编了闻名全球学术界的“哈佛经典”丛书，该丛书在五四时期即被胡适、赵元任等人介绍引进中国，又称“五尺丛书”。
本书详述查尔斯•艾略特长达40年的哈佛校长生涯，介绍了传主独特的教育思想以及在大学管理方面的卓越贡献，并从家庭环境、学校教育、人生经历等方面剖析其取得成功的原因，梳理出艾略特极富人文关怀的教育思想及其形成过程。
▼媒体推荐
艾略特不仅影响了哈佛大学的一切，而且使哈佛成为美国一流大学。从大西洋到太平洋，没有一所高校不受艾略特哈佛改革的深远影响……在美国，没有哪位教育家、大学校长、教授、教师或助教没有受到艾略特的直接影响。每一本教科书都按照他的标准修订，每一名学生都能感受到他有形的影响。就伟人的胸襟和永恒成就而言，我们发现同时代的美国人中，没人能与之匹敌。由于贡献卓越，他和爱默生及林肯一同成为那个时代国家的功臣。
——威廉•尼尔森（美国历史学家）
哈佛大学今天的辉煌源于历史……其中又以查尔斯•威廉•艾略特的功绩居首位。正是他的思想和实践扭转了哈佛大学的困境，使其成功地从一所地区性院校成长为一所国家性大学，为哈佛大学今后的国际教育界霸主地位奠定了基础。我国“十二五”教育规划纲要提出要提升本科教育质量，建设若干所世界一流大学，此时追溯世界一流大学哈佛大学的成长轨迹，研究其校长的本科教育思想和实践具有重要的现实意义。

The twenty-first century is replete with uncertainty and complexity: game-changing events and trends are transforming the world beyond recognition. For the first time in human history more people live in cities than in the countryside and greater numbers suffer from obesity than from hunger. Emerging economies now represent half of the global economy and during the next few decades India will be the biggest country in terms of population, China the largest in output and the United States the richest among the major economies on a per capita income basis. Food and water shortages will likely become humankind's most important challenge. In this accessible introduction, Mauro Guillen and Emilio Ontiveros deploy the tools of economics, sociology and political science to provide an analytical perspective on both the problems and opportunities facing business in the modern world.

Using three Mini Coopers, a couple of Jaguars, and a bus, he hopes to bring Torino to a standstill, steal a fortune in gold and escape in the chaos.

Between the winter of 1936 and the autumn of 1938, approximately three quarters of a million Soviet citizens were subject to summary execution. More than a million others were sentenced to lengthy terms in labour camps. Commonly known as 'Stalin's Great Terror', it is also among the most misunderstood moments in the history of the twentieth century. The Terror gutted the ranks of factory directors and engineers after three years in which all major plan targets were met. It raged through the armed forces on the eve of the Nazi invasion. The wholesale slaughter of party and state officials was in danger of making the Soviet state ungovernable. The majority of these victims of state repression in this period were accused of participating in counter-revolutionary conspiracies. Almost without exception, there was no substance to the claims and no material evidence to support them. By the time the terror was brought to a close, most of its victims were ordinary Soviet citizens for whom 'counter-revolution' was an unfathomable abstraction. In short, the Terror was wholly destructive, not merely in terms of the incalculable human cost, but also in terms of the interests of the Soviet leaders, principally Joseph Stalin, who directed and managed it. The Great Fear presents a new and original explanation of Stalin's Terror based on intelligence materials in Russian archives. It shows how Soviet leaders developed a grossly exaggerated fear of conspiracy and foreign invasion and lashed out at enemies largely of their own making.

Kim Philby was the greatest spy in history, a brilliant and charming man who rose to head Britain’s counterintelligence against the Soviet Union during the height of the Cold War—while he was secretly working for the enemy. And nobody thought he knew Philby like Nicholas Elliott, Philby’s best friend and fellow officer in MI6. The two men had gone to the same schools, belonged to the same exclusive clubs, grown close through the crucible of wartime intelligence work and long nights of drink and revelry. It was madness for one to think the other might be a communist spy, bent on subverting Western values and the power of the free world.
But Philby was secretly betraying his friend. Every word Elliott breathed to Philby was transmitted back to Moscow—and not just Elliott’s words, for in America, Philby had made another powerful friend: James Jesus Angleton, the crafty, paranoid head of CIA counterintelligence. Angleton's and Elliott’s unwitting disclosures helped Philby sink almost every important Anglo-American spy operation for twenty years, leading countless operatives to their doom. Even as the web of suspicion closed around him, and Philby was driven to greater lies to protect his cover, his two friends never abandoned him—until it was too late. The stunning truth of his betrayal would have devastating consequences on the two men who thought they knew him best, and on the intelligence services he left crippled in his wake.
Told with heart-pounding suspense and keen psychological insight, and based on personal papers and never-before-seen British intelligence files, A Spy Among Friends is Ben Macintyre’s best book yet, a high-water mark in Cold War history telling.
