The subject of Danièle Huillet and Jean-Marie Straub’s Der Tod des Empedokles (The Death of Empedocles, 1987) is the Greek pre-Socratic philosopher Empedocles (c. 490 BC – 430 BC), who lived in the Greek colony of Agrigentum in Sicily. His theories are mentioned in several of Plato’s dialogues. He maintained that all matter is made up of four irreducible elements: water, earth, air and fire. A mystic and a poet, he is considered to be the founder of classical rhetoric. He is also thought to be the last Greek philosopher to write in verse; two fragments of his works survive: Katharmoi (Purifications) and Peri Phuseôs (On Nature). An advocate of democracy, he came into conflict with his fellow citizens of Agrigentum and, as result, was banished with his young disciple, Pausanius. When he was asked to return, he preferred to commit suicide by throwing himself into the active volcano at Mount Aetna. The German writer Friedrich Hölderlin wrote two versions of Der Tod des Empedokles in 1798 and 1800, and a final third version in 1820, all three ultimately unfinished. They were conceived as five-act tragedies and all three differ in plot. According to Michael Hamburger, Hölderlin’s English-language translator, the main reason why Hölderlin finished no version of the play must be that he remained too closely identified with Empedocles, at the very period in his life when his own view of the poet as philosopher, prophet and priest – and as tragic hero – was subject to perpetual crisis and re-examination. Huillet-Straub’s The Death of Empedocles is based on Hölderlin’s first version (the longest of the three), whereas Black Sin is based on the third version.

此次，来自挪威的科学家们在斯匹茨卑尔根岛总共发现了28具蛇颈龙和鱼龙化石。科学家介绍说，蛇颈龙是海洋中的肉食性凶猛动物，蛇颈龙和鱼龙一起统治着中生代的海洋。作为海洋中的肉食性凶猛动物，蛇颈龙的牙齿锐利，多以鱼类为食。头小，颈长似蛇，善于左右弯曲方便捕食。体躯宽扁，最长的可达17～18米。四肢呈鳍状，可在水中推动躯体游动。\n\n　　据奥斯陆大学一位研究人员介绍，其中一个大家伙的椎骨有餐桌那么大，牙齿有黄瓜那么长。身长10米左右，并且整个骨架保存完好。\n\n　　科学家介绍说，蛇颈龙的化石曾在英国和阿根廷发现过，但是从来没有保存如此完整的。科学家戏称此次发现的蛇颈龙有可能是苏格兰“尼斯湖\n水怪”的“远亲”。\n\n　　科学家表示，很难想象，有这么多化石集中在一个地方，这种情况是很少见的。因为动物死后的尸体往往会成为其他物种的食物。他们猜想，这些爬行动物可能不是在同一时间死亡，只不过是死在同一个地点而已。\n\n　　科学家们称，此次发现为近几十年最重要的一个海生爬行动物化石群。他们也表示，有趣的是，此次发现也为地质学家们在巴伦支海峡搜寻石油天然气矿藏提供了新的线索。“让他们嗅到了汽油的味道。”

Poirot pays what appears to be a routine visit to Dr. Morley, his dentist, but shortly after he leaves the clinic, the doctor is found dead with a gunshot wound to his temple, an apparent suicide. Poirot suspects foul play, and all those who entered the doctor's offices after Poirot left are suspect. They include Alaistair Blunt, a prominent and very influential bank director, Frank Carter, a young fascist thug with a personal grudge against Morley, Mr. Amberiotis, an enigmatic recent arrival from India suffering from a toothache, and Mabelle Sainsbury-Seale, a charity worker also recently returned from India. When Amberiotis is found dead in his hotel room from an overdose of Novocaine and Sainsbury-Seale disappears, Poirot rightly expands his list of suspects and connects the crime to events that occurred in India 12 years earlier.
