We have the impression that the solar system is perfectly regular like a clock, or a planetarium instrument. On a short timescale it is. But, seen in a longer perspective, the planets, and their satellites, have exciting lives, full of events - for example, did you know that Saturn's moon, Titan, boasts lakes which contain liquid methane surrounded by soaring hills and valleys,...(展开全部)

丹尼洛·契斯（Danilo Kiš，1935—1989） 二十世纪南斯拉夫最重要的作家。契斯出生于南斯拉夫的苏博蒂察市，“二战”期间，他的父亲在纳粹集中营遇害，母亲带着他和姐姐逃难到黑山，直到战争结束才回到南斯拉夫。他在贝尔格莱德大学比较文学系毕业后开始文学生涯，作品有《花园，灰烬》《沙漏》《达维多维奇之墓》《死亡百科全书》等，曾获得塞尔维亚NIN 文学奖、美国布鲁诺·舒尔茨奖等诸多文学奖项,并被授予法国文学艺术骑士勋章。他的作品虽受到国际瞩目，在本国出版时却常引起奇特的骚动：《达维多维奇之墓》被诬蔑抄袭了索尔仁尼琴、乔伊斯、曼德尔施塔姆、博尔赫斯、梅德韦杰夫兄弟等作家，布罗茨基对此评论说：“一位作者若能在一本135页的小说里模仿这么多位风格迥异的作者，那么怎样赞美他都不为过。”他还称扬契斯是“一位独具风格的作家，他的作品几乎重新定义了悲剧”。197...(展开全部)
