The comet’s tail spread across the dawn, a red slash that bled above the crags of Dragonstone like a wound in the pink and purple sky.  The maester stood on the windswept balcony outside his chambers. It was here the ravens came, after long flight. Their droppings speckled the gargoyles that rose twelve feet tall on either side of him, a hellhound and a wyvern, two of the thousand that brooded over the walls of the ancient fortress. When first he came to Dragonstone, the army of stone grotesques had made him uneasy, but as the years passed he had grown used to them. Now he thought of them as old friends. The three of them watched the sky together with foreboding.

The Three Musketeers (French: Les Trois Mousquetaires) is a novel by Alexandre Dumas, père, first serialized in March–July 1844. Set in the 17th century, it recounts the adventures of a young man named d'Artagnan after he leaves home to become a guard of the musketeers. D'Artagnan is not one of the musketeers of the title; those are his friends Athos, Porthos, and Aramis, inseparable friends who live by the motto "all for one, one for all" ("tous pour un, un pour tous"). The story of d'Artagnan is continued in Twenty Years After and The Vicomte of Bragelonne: Ten Years Later. Those three novels by Dumas are together known as the d'Artagnan Romances. The Three Musketeers was first published in serial form in the magazine Le Siècle between March and July 1844.

Crime and Punishment (Russian: Преступление и наказание Pryestupleniye i nakazaniye) is a novel by the Russian author Fyodor Dostoyevsky. It was first published in the SWiss literary journal The Russian Messenger in twelve monthly installments during 1866. It was later published in a single volume. This is the second of Dostoevsky's full-length novels following his return from five years of exile in Siberia, where he was serving his sentence in Katorga camps, the Tsarist forced-labor system and predecessor to the Soviet Gulag. Crime and Punishment is the first great novel of his "mature period" of writing. Crime and Punishment focuses on the mental anguish and moral dilemmas of Rodion Romanovich Raskolnikov, an impoverished ex-student in St. Petersburg who formulates and executes a plan to kill an unscrupulous pawnbroker for her money. Raskolnikov argues that with the pawnbroker's money he can perform good deeds to counterbalance the crime, while ridding the world of a worthless parasite. He also commits this murder to test his own hypothesis that some people are naturally capable of, and even have the right to, do such things. Several times throughout the novel, Raskolnikov justifies his actions by connecting himself mentally with Napoleon Bonaparte, believing that murder is permissible in pursuit of a higher purpose, only to find out he "... is not a Napoleon."

1913年的诺贝尔文学奖评奖会上，一部诗集成为评委们争相阅读的作品，委员会以12:1的投票比例将当年的诺贝尔奖颁给了这部诗集的作者，这也是瑞典文学院第一次将诺贝尔奖颁给一个东方人。当时，一些西方媒体抱怨委员会不应该将这份荣誉授予了一个"名字拗口、不见经传的亚洲人"，但是，大部分读过这部名叫《吉檀迦利》的诗集的人都对这次授奖感到非常满意，他们将诗集的作者称为"东方圣人"，这个人就是泰戈尔。   他的艺术越来越深刻，变得富有宗教和哲学意味了；人类的一切向往憧憬，都是他歌咏的题材。他是我们的圣人中间第一个不厌弃生存的，他是从人生本身出发来说话的。 这些抒情诗──据我的印度朋友告诉我，孟加拉文的原作充满了微妙的韵律、不可翻译的轻柔的色彩以及创新的格律──以其思想展示了一个我生平梦想已久的世界。《吉檀迦利》是一部具有高度文化价值的艺术作品，然而又显得极像是普通土壤中生长出来的植物，仿佛青草或灯心草一般。　叶芝   泰戈尔将名噪欧洲，他掌握了英文的种种妙处，他的诗歌有一种特别的宁静感。与泰戈尔这个纯朴的东方人相比，我自己显得像是个身披兽皮的野人。我们发现了自己的新希腊。 --美国现代主义诗人　庞德　　   我拜倒在这位孟加拉诗人面前，如同拜倒在神的面前一样，因为没有任何人的思想像泰戈尔的那样值得重视，没有任何诗集能像《吉檀迦利》一样给我以灵魂上的震撼。 --法国诗人　纪德　　   　　诺贝尔文学奖是应该赋予这位集艺术家和预言家于一身的作家的。泰戈尔在这方面是无以伦比的。 --瑞典著名学者　厄普萨拉　　   跟泰戈尔老人在一起，我的灵感就有了翅膀，总是立刻就能找到最好的感觉。 --著名诗人　徐志摩　　   在泰戈尔的《吉檀迦利》中，作者以歌颂神灵的形式与文学结合，但并非是在表达一种超凡脱俗的思想，他借以表达的是一种对生命的歌唱，表达了对人生理想的思索和追求。
