Our Old Home
Our Old Home, a series of English sketches by Nathaniel Hawthorne. This volume of charming sketches was published in 1863, and (in the words of the author) presents “a few of the external aspects of English scenery and life, especially those that are touched with the antique charm to which our countrymen are more susceptible than are the people among whom it is of native growth.”

盧濟塔尼亞人之歌
《盧濟塔尼亞人之歌》(原文 Os Lusíadas,常譯為 The Lusiads)是葡萄牙詩人路易斯·德·卡蒙斯(Luís de Camões)所撰寫的史詩巨作,最早於一五七二年出版。這部作品被公認為葡萄牙語文學中最重要的經典,時常被拿來與維吉爾的《埃涅阿斯紀》相提並論。
全詩的核心主題是頌揚葡萄牙探險家瓦斯科·達伽馬(一四六九至一五二四)開闢通往印度海路的偉大航程。詩作共分為十個篇章,採用「奧塔瓦里馬」(ottava rima)的格律寫成,全文共計一千一百零二個詩節。
據考證,這部史詩大約在一五五六年完稿,屬於文藝史上「古典主義」時期的產物,在作者由東方歸國三年後正式付梓。每一詩節皆為十音節的八行體,遵循固定的韻律格式 ABABABCC——後世稱之為「卡蒙斯式八行韻」。除了達伽馬的遠航事蹟之外,詩中亦穿插描繪了葡萄牙歷史上的其他重要篇章,熱情謳歌這個民族的開拓精神與光榮傳統。
