Emily Jane Brontë (30 July 1818 – 19 December 1848) was an English writer best known for her 1847 novel Wuthering Heights. She also co-authored a book of poetry with her sisters Charlotte and Anne entitled Poems by Currer, Ellis, and Acton Bell.
Emily Brontë’s Wuthering Heights was first published in London by Thomas Cautley Newby, shortly after the publication and immediate success in October 1847 of Charlotte Brontë’s Jane Eyre. Thomas Newby, who had been very slow to deal with Emily and Anne, finally saw the advantage of using the family connection, and published Wuthering Heights in December 1847.
The novel, a Gothic story of doomed love, hate, revenge and the supernatural, deals with the relationships of various couples in and around the farmhouse of the title.
Despite mixed reviews at the time, Wuthering Heights is now widely regarded as one of the greatest novels in English literature. It is controversial for its depictions of psychological and physical abuse (including domestic violence) and its challenge to the moral, religious, and class systems of the Victorian era.
《呼啸山庄》是英国女作家勃朗特姐妹之一艾米莉·勃朗特创作的长篇小说,首次出版于1847年,是19世纪英国文学的代表作之一。
该书描写的吉卜赛弃儿希斯克利夫被山庄老主人收养后,因不堪受辱和恋爱受挫,外出致富。回来后发现女友凯瑟琳已与地主林顿结婚,继而产生对地主及其子女进行报复的故事。全篇充满了强烈的反压迫、求自由的斗争精神,又始终笼罩着离奇、紧张、浪漫的艺术气氛。作品开始曾被人称作是年轻女作家脱离现实的天真幻想,但结合其所描写地区激烈的阶级斗争和英国当时的社会现象,不久又被评论界给予高度肯定,并受到广大读者的热烈欢迎。 [12]小说以一种“灭亡”性的态度来展现,带有非常强的悲剧意识,不仅仅是人物命运方面的悲剧,还反映了当时社会的悲剧。作品当中的悲剧色彩十分浓厚,也具有非常强的艺术风格,哲学意识浓烈,在整体上极大的展现出美学、哲学以及艺术方面的统一性。
《呼啸山庄》被公认为世界名著,英国作家毛姆甚至把它奉为世界最杰出的十部小说之一,与《战争与和平》并列 。根据这部小说改编拍摄的电影从1939年已多达十多部。

The Diamond Sutra: The Perfection of Wisdom Jingangjing 金刚经英文版本在竹和松出版社出版了。
The Buddhist scriptures are as vast as the great ocean and as brilliant as a sky full of stars. Yet for modern readers, it can feel difficult to know where to begin – and few have the time to study them all.
In truth, among the many Buddhist texts, there are two that stand above the rest, each word precious and profound. Reading these two is equivalent to absorbing the very essence of Buddhism. Moreover, both are concise and refined – perfectly suited for modern people to read, recite, and reflect upon in daily life to cultivate inner peace and virtue.
These two scriptures are The Diamond Sutra and The Heart Sutra. Of these, The Heart Sutra is particularly short – just two pages long – and thus cannot form a standalone book. Therefore, Bamboo & Pine Press has included it as an appendix, for readers’ convenience and easy reference.
The Diamond Sutra is also relatively short. Bamboo & Pine Press has previously published it as part of The Ten Great Buddhist Sutras, but it is somewhat inconvenient to flip through such a thick volume daily just to read The Diamond Sutra. Hence, this time, Bamboo & Pine Press is publishing it separately, making it easier for Buddhist practitioners and enthusiasts to carry, read, and recite at any time.
If this publication brings even a little convenience or benefit to students of Buddhism, then our purpose has been fulfilled.
May your reading bring you joy and fill you with the bliss of Dharma.
Supplementary Note on the English Edition:
After the Simplified Chinese edition of the Diamond Sutra was published in 2022, it was very well received by the public. Therefore, we have now made the heartfelt decision to publish an English edition, and we hope everyone will enjoy it.

佛教的經典如浩瀚之大海,璀璨之群星,現代人想讀卻總覺得無從入門,而且找不到那麼多的時間研讀。但其實佛教的經典中有兩部經典是重中之重,字字珠璣。讀完那兩部,就等於吸取了佛教中最精華的部分。而且,那兩部經典簡短精煉,非常適合現代人平日受持讀誦,修心養性。那兩部經典就是《金剛經》和《心經》。其中,《心經》尤其短,只有短短兩頁,無法單獨成書,所以竹和松出版社就把它放在附錄,以方便讀者隨時翻閱。《金剛經》也不長,竹和松出版社曾把它放在《十大經典佛經》中出版過,但每天要翻閱這麼厚的《十大經典佛經》來讀誦《金剛經》就有點不那麼方便。所以這次竹和松出版社把它單獨拿出來出版,以方便佛教愛好者們每天翻閱,隨身攜帶,受執讀誦。如果我們的出版給佛學愛好者們帶來那麼一點點的方便,那我們的出版目的也就達到了。願大家閱讀愉快,法喜充滿。
繁體版出版補充說明:簡體版《金剛經》於2022年出版後,深受大眾喜歡,所以這次我們發心出版了繁體版,希望大家喜歡。

This author has presented a translation of Shanghaijing ‘s old text into a new translation in present day Chinese, tracing the terms in the old text back to their roots in the Pu speech。 Besides restoring the historical information of geography and ethnology to their roots, and doing my best in decoding the text, I wish to make a statement that the long-held opinion that Yelang Guo only started to become cultured after Si Ma Xiangru arrived is not valid. The concept of culture is not decided on whether Chinese language or script had arrived。The reason why the cultures of Shang and Zhou dynasties failed to block the transmission of Shanhaijing is because the desire of the following generations of readers to know what secret information it contains between its lines.

《华严经》是释迦牟尼成佛后,首先讲的第一部经,最适合的也是大根器的人。释迦牟尼初成佛时,犹如太阳刚升出来,光芒照耀高山。所讲的《华严经》,下面中小根器的人尚听不见,或者听见了,也等于没听见。到了最后讲《妙法莲华经》的时候,又似太阳快落山了,照的又是山顶上的人。相对而言,《楞严经》、《金刚经》、《心经》等则是如日当空,可照遍全人。《华严经》很长,比《妙法莲华经》、《楞严经》都长,可看其中有名的几品,比如普贤菩萨行愿品、普贤菩萨净行品等。
