公元前431—404年，以雅典为首的提洛同盟和以斯巴达为首的伯罗奔尼撒同盟为了争夺在希腊的霸权，断断续续打了二十七年恶仗，这便是历史上所说的“伯罗奔尼撒战争”。这场战争的事迹，绝大部分是赖有大历史家修昔底德（Thucydides）的记载而流传下来的。修昔底德在战争之初即而立之年开始搜集资料准备写一部战史，倾其毕生精力撰写其《伯罗奔尼撒战争史》，直至生命的最后时刻。修昔底德的史学成就足以代表希腊古典史学的最高水平。

《物种起源》是达尔文论述生物进化的重要著作，出版于1859年11月24日。第一次把生物学建立在完全科学的基础上，确定了物种的变异性和承续性，以全新的生物进化思想推翻了“神创论”和“物种不变”理论，生物普遍进化的思想以及“物竞天择，适者生存”的进化机制成为学术界、思想界的公论。

摩尔·弗兰德斯生于新门监狱。她孩提时被人收养，她自小希望自立，用诚实的劳动实现“贵妇人”的理想。可是她15岁时遭主人家大少爷******，后嫁给小少爷为妇。此后，她做了***女，先后嫁过5次，与各种人私通，又做了贼，成了赫赫有名的扒手，最终被捕并像她母亲一样被投入新门监狱，后也被发配到弗吉尼亚……最后她成为一个诚实的妇人，过着富裕满足的生活，并在死前真诚忏悔自己从前的罪恶生涯

她本来是一个残废的病人，生命，只剩下一长串没有欢乐的日子；青春，在生与死的边缘上黯然消逝。如今，在迟暮的岁月里赶上了早年的爱情。然而，她只能流着泪，用无情的沉默来回答一声声爱情的呼唤。但是，爱情战胜了死亡，从死亡的阴影里救出了一个已经放弃了生命的人。就象神话中的英雄在悬崖边救出了被供奉给海怪的公主，替公主打开了裹在她周身的铁链；她那不知疲倦的情人也帮着她摆脱了她的惊慌、她的疑虑、她的哀怨，扶着她一步步来到了阳光底下。她动荡不安的感情逐渐变得稳定了；她对于人生开始有了信心，产生了眷恋。未来的幸福，不再是一团强烈的幻光，叫她不敢逼视，不敢伸出手去碰一下了。她敢于拿爱情来报答爱情了。
