在这部关于民国初年历史的力作中，作者史谦德巧妙地抓住了当时“每天必开会，开会必演说”的现象，从政治文化的角度重新思考了辛亥革命的成败问题。作者以1912年8月25日湖广会馆演讲台上的风波为枢纽，分别追溯了唐群英、陆徵祥等人的政治生命。他们的身份、地位、际遇并不相同，但共同的一点是，演说在他们的政治活动中都发挥着重要作用。虽然新生的民国陷于运转不良的困境，演说本身及其带来的反响也可能有种种问题，但政治领袖对民意基础的依赖与日俱增，国民成为政治权威的来源，说明共和的价值取向已经深入人心。从这个意义上讲，辛亥革命并没有失败，只是在当时尚未完成。

Bridge Xiatu from denial a revolution isMARIN SORESCU (1936 1996) was a cheerfully melancholic comic genius, and one of the most original voices in Romanian literature. This book of wryly quizzical poems his testament not just to human mortality and pain but to resistance and creative transformation was composed over five weeks just before his death. Like a medieval dance of death but somber in movement, it's a procession of breathlessly spoken, painfully comic poems.
