印刷不錯很超值 比其他地方都便宜

這是一款本好書，價格實在是給力啊。

有人說，夜鶯為瞭學生而獻齣心血，令玫瑰染上血紅，綻開絕美的花瓣，可是學生卻在被女孩拒絕之後心灰意冷地丟棄玫瑰，這讓他們感覺不值，感覺夜鶯太可悲。可是，在我看來，夜鶯並不是可悲的。如果站在夜鶯的角度來看待整個故事，能為所愛之人付齣自己能夠付齣的最大代價，這本身就是一種幸福。再加之夜鶯本就不求任何迴報，又有什麼遺憾的呢？隻要自己心甘情願，哪怕對方並不知曉，也並不是件可悲的事情吧。這樣偉大的覺悟，就個人而言，完全可以與安徒生筆下的海的女兒媲美。 　　 又有人認為，故事中的女孩過於勢利，可是換個角度來看待，女孩也沒有過錯。這個世界本就物欲橫流，麵包比水仙花更容易吸引人去追逐。寶石的閃亮掩蓋瞭玫瑰的淒艷，女孩的舉動雖讓人能夠理解，卻更覺得無奈。 　　 窮學生最終從中悟齣瞭道理：“在現實的世界裏，首要的是實用。”這種領悟我們不能說不對，但卻為之感到悲哀，少年還未體會愛情的美妙滋味，就已經被情所傷，隻能迴到他的“哲學和玄學書”的世界中去，將自己的性靈囚禁在高高的象牙塔中，不再接觸世事。這固然不會再受到傷害，但也不能再親身去品味人世滄桑，去瞭解復雜多樣的人性……由此而言，學生纔是故事中最悲哀的角色。 　　 在整個童話集中，我最喜歡的童話實際上是《巨人的花園》。 　　 世人稱這篇童話是王爾德所著九篇童話中最美的一篇。王爾德是英國唯美主義藝術運動的開創者，《巨人的花園》就充斥著明顯的唯美情調和宗教氛圍。 無論是小孩們攀上樹枝使得花開滿樹、鶯啼燕舞，抑或是巨人死在大樹之下，身上覆滿瞭白花，這些唯美的情景都有中世紀油畫般的典雅精緻，和天主教對死亡意義的神聖追溯。 王爾德在這個故事裏，似乎僅僅傳達著一種“善有善報”的因果論，但是實際上，更多的反而是在體現某種宗教情結。故事中，巨人最喜歡的小孩——手掌和腳掌上分彆都有一清晰的釘子印——他是耶穌的化身，是神的孩子，令巨人顫抖下跪，發自內心地敬畏喜愛，並在他的指引下，靈魂前往這個小孩的花園——天堂。 1900年，王爾德在自己友人的幫助下，改信天主教。也許，這篇童話早早地便預示瞭這樣的結果吧。 《快樂王子》也是讓人讀後忍不住落淚的美妙之作。這個故事中的王子雕像與小燕子身上都存在著一種崇高偉大、無私忘我的精神特質。王子將自己身上的寶石和金子委托給燕子，讓他送給那些需要這些東西的人們——也許是窮睏潦倒的戲作傢，也許是賣不齣火柴的小女孩，也許是那些忍飢挨餓的乞丐
