A laugh-out-loud, adults-only bedtime story for parents familiar with the age-old struggle of putting their kids to bed “Hell no, you can’t go to the bathroom. You know where you can go? The f**k to sleep.” Go the Fuck to Sleep is a book for parents who live in the real world, where a few snoozing kitties and cutesy rhymes don’t always send a toddler sailing blissfully off to dreamland. Profane, affectionate, and radically honest, it captures the familiar—and unspoken—tribulations of putting your little angel down for the night. Read by a host of celebrities, from Samuel L. Jackson to Jennifer Garner, this subversively funny bestselling storybook will not actually put your kids to sleep, but it will leave you laughing so hard you won’t care.

海明威是一百年来所有诺贝尔文学奖获得者中最受我国广大学者推崇和广大读者喜爱的一位。他的《老人与海》为广大教师推荐给学生，成为经久不衰的畅销书。 但是海明威最早成名是靠他的开创一代文风的短篇小说。他以陈述句为主，以精确的描写和简短的对白给读者以直接生动的印象。可以说，自此以后，世界许多现当代作家都或多或少地受到他的影响。 本书精选他最有名最具代表性的短篇，如《乞力马扎罗的雪》，《大双心河》，《杀手》等，从中可以窥见海明威创作风格的全豹。译文全部经过认真校订，力求在内容形式上更加贴近原作。

"The Adventures of Tom Sawyer" (1876) is Mark Twain's most popular book, and its hero is a national icon, celebrated as a distinctively American figure both at home and abroad. Tom Sawyer's bold spirit, winsome smile, and inventive solutions to the problems of everyday life in fictional St Petersburg - whether getting his friends to whitewash a fence for him, or escaping the demands of his vigilant Aunt Polly - have won him the hearts of generations. The very success of the novel has obscured its contradictions and the extent to which the author's response to contemporary cultural developments was a mixed one. "Tom Sawyer" is not only a deft comedy and a powerful celebration of childhood. It also reflects how Mark Twain was in the process of finding his distinctive voice, a voice with which he could express the conflicts he felt about coming of age in America. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
