Peter Pan【原著彩圖版】（25K彩色）
Peter Pan, produced for the stage in 1904 but appeared as a narrative story in 1911, is a fantasy work by Scottish playwright and novelist James Matthew Barrie (1860–1937). Barrie is best remembered for inventing the character of Peter Pan, a mischievous little boy, who lives in Neverland, better known as Never-Never Land, a country where no child ever grows up. The most apparent theme in the story concerns growing up (or not), with the character of Peter wanting to remain a child forever and refusing to grow up. "Peter Pan syndrome" has become a psychiatric term named to describe an adult who is afraid of commitment or refuses to act his/her age. It is also sometimes used to positively describe an innocent approach to life. Peter Pan has been adapted for stage and screen many times. Besides, there have been several additions to Peter Pan’s story created, both authorized and not. 《彼得潘》（Peter pan）是一部充滿想像與冒險的經典兒童故事。描述一位不願長大、想永遠過著孩童般無憂無慮的生活的男孩彼得潘，與一群孩子在夢幻島上的生活。他們脫離成人世界的狡詐與複雜，以最自然純真的方式生活，帶領我們走進一個成人永遠觸摸不到的夢幻島，一圓孩童時期的美夢。無論是兒童或成人，閱讀本書都能獲得最單純的快樂。 Children are gay and innocent and heartless. 孩子們總是天真、快樂、沒心沒肺的。 彼得潘帶著溫蒂和一群小孩，在夢幻島上展開一段不凡的冒險生活。島上有印地安人、陰險的海盜、驕傲的人魚、各種野獸、性格的夢幻鳥、各式各樣的仙子、吞下鬧鐘的鱷魚，兒童世界的一切想像，都能在這裡被滿足。 彼得潘是每個人成長過程必讀的經典故事，一部富有深刻哲理的兒童文學，不僅喚醒我們成長過程的種種記憶，也讓我們重返兒時生活的純真與快樂。
【電子書】Animal Farm
Animal Farm, published in 1945, is a satirical novel by British novelist and essayist George Orwell (1903-1950), pseud. of Eric Arthur Blair. Orwell is best known for Animal Farm and Nineteen Eighty-Four (1949). As a socialist, he was a keen critic of imperialism, fascism, Stalinism, and capitalism. His works are concerned with the sociopolitical conditions of his time. Animal Farm, with great critical and popular success, is a witty, satirical allegory about the failure of Soviet totalitarianism. Some events in the book are based on events from the Soviet Union during the Stalin era. This novel is ostensibly about a group of animals who oust the humans from the farm and run it themselves, only to have it corrupted into a brutal tyranny on its own. This idea of a revolution betraying its supposed aims is a chief issue of Animal Farm. 故事簡介 No animal must ever tyrannise over his own kind. Weak or strong, clever or simple, we are all brothers. No animal must ever kill any other animal. All animals are equal. 任何動物都不能去欺壓自己的同類。 動物不管是強是弱，是智是愚，大家四海之內皆兄弟。 任何動物都不得殺害其他動物，所有動物一律平等。 “All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.” 所有動物一律平等， 不過，有些動物比其他動物更加平等。 《動物農莊》是喬治．歐威爾（George Orwell, 1903-1950）最受歡迎的小說，也是政治諷刺小說的世界文學經典之作。故事中有幽默、溫馨的筆觸，卻赤裸裸地揭露冷漠而殘酷的極權主義。作者才華洋溢，充滿創意，另一方面別具洞見，對人性與政治有極精彩卻殘酷的洞察與描繪。這本書首度出版問世後，便佳評如潮，奠定了歐威爾在世界文壇的地位。 本書故事內容，以一群住在農莊裡的動物為主人翁。這些本來被人類所蓄養的動物，後來向人類起義，成功從人類手中奪下農莊，脫離了人類的「統治」，並將農莊改名為「動物農莊」。動物們期待打造一個新世界，他們努力奮鬥，盼望實踐「所有動物，一律平等」的崇高理想。然而，殘酷的是，他們辛勞地耕耘這片園地，但農莊卻逐漸形成另一種更恐怖的專制獨裁統治……。
