这部感人的诗集就是他们爱情生活的真实写照。它是英国文学史上的珍品之一。其美丽动人,甚至超过莎士比亚的十四行诗集。有多人译过这本诗集,如闻一多,查良铮(金庸)等。但我认为方平译得最好,令人爱不释手。这里Post的就是方平译本。白朗宁夫人最初开始写这十四行组诗大概是在她答应了白朗宁的求婚以后那一段时期。直到他们婚后住到了比萨,白朗宁才读到这本诗集。他不敢把这文学上的无价之宝留给他一个人享受。1850年白朗宁夫人出版了一卷诗集,把这组十四行诗也收进在内,共四十四首,还取了一个总名,叫做《葡萄牙人十四行诗集》,用以掩饰作者身分,因白朗宁夫人不愿意把个人情诗发表今将这本诗集奉献给大家,希望大家会喜欢。

《史蒂夫·乔布斯传》是史蒂夫·乔布斯唯一授权的官方传记,在2011年上半年由美国出版商西蒙舒斯特对外发布出版消息以来,备受全球媒体和业界瞩目,《史蒂夫·乔布斯传》的全球出版日期最终确定为2011年11月21日,简体中文版也将同步上市。史蒂夫·乔布斯是一位极具创造力的企业家,史蒂夫·乔布斯有如过山车般精彩的人生和犀利激越的性格,充满追求完美和誓不罢休的******,史蒂夫·乔布斯创造出个人电脑、动画电影、音乐、手机、平板电脑以及数字出版等6大产业的颠覆性变革。史蒂夫·乔布斯的个性经常让周围的人愤怒和绝望,但其所创造出的产品也与这种个******息相关,全然不可分割的,正如苹果的硬件和软件一样。两年多的时间,与史蒂夫·乔布斯40多次的面对面倾谈,以及与史蒂夫·乔布斯一百多个家庭成员、朋友、竞争对手、******的不受限的采访,造就了这本独家传记。史蒂夫·乔布斯的故事既具有启发意义,又有警示意义,充满了关于创新、个性、领导力以及价值观的教益。
