The novel sales hit the one hundred million mark from its release. And its Chinese version also gains much popularity among Chinese readers. Up to now, fantasy novel and its translation have drawn increasing attention of scholars from home and abroad.

Having spent most of the nineties as a buzz-word in literature and culture,its haunting presence appears to have faded somewhat. With the end of TV serials such as Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel and the current lack of interest in the so-called Gothic images that used to inundate media and popular culture,the question arises yet again as to what significance the Gothic bears for contemporary literature?Importantly,what remains to be taken into account by such critics is the presence of fundamental Gothic elements in literary postmodernist texts. By this,I refer to works definable under the paradigm of postmodernism; experimental,radical and often metalfictional literature which problematises the relationship between reality and fiction,reader and text. The purpose of this article is to fill this gap in literary criticism by proposing a theoretical approach to postmodernist texts that are definitively Gothic.展开更多

In 2007 and 2008, the Sky Quality Meter (SQM) was used in four regions in Malaysia to measure the brightness at night, pseudo dawn, true dawn, true dusk and pseudo dusk. The measurements were taken when the device was directed to the position of sunrise and sunset at the horizontal angle of the sunrise or sunset and at five degrees above the horizon during the entire monitoring period. The altitude of the sun for the true dusk was found to be -14.38°± 0.91°and for the beginning of the pseudo dusk was found to be -14.86°± 0.91°and the end of the pseudo dusk is -17.8°± 0.7°, while for the beginning of the true dawn it was found to be -14.19°± 0.52°(for high confidence -14.71°) and for the pseudo dawn was found to be -18.62°± 0.82°. The light magnitude of the full night after the pseudo dusk was found to be 20.77 ± 0.93 mag./arcsec<sup>2</sup>, while it was found to be 22.17 ± 0.1 mag./arcsec<sup>2</sup> before the pseudo dawn.展开更多

The series is both an unbelievable romance of a 17-year-old girl and a 104-year-old vampire and an exquisite fantasy of the supernatural and impossible.

Thus, the present paper attempts to explore how such irresistible attraction is made possible by employing these fantasy elements.展开更多
