夏濟安先生所著《黑暗的閘門》（The Gate of Darkness）自1968年英文版問世以來，便在英文世界產生極大影響，成為中國左翼文學研究領域一本劃時代的傑作。儘管該書部分篇章曾翻譯成中文並以單篇論文形式發表，遺憾的是此後近半個世紀之久，中文讀者始終無緣窺其全貌。此次中文大學出版社對英文版全書重新翻譯，增錄夏濟安先生另一篇相關的重要論文，並邀請翻譯學研究專家王宏志教授對譯稿全文審訂，首次推出這本經典著作的完整中文版。本書細緻梳理文學與時代政治的糾纏，深入揭示左翼文學運動的兩難境地。書中所論作家包括魯迅、蔣光慈、左聯五烈士以及瞿秋白等人，他們都是1949年以前共產黨理念的同情者乃至實踐者。在1960年代國際上反共仇共的大環境中，夏濟安下筆敏銳痛快而不失同情，充滿耐心，既給左翼作家及其作品一個恰當公允的評價，更為他們身上的悲劇意義而深深歎息。

The origins of modern Daoism can be traced to the Church of the Heavenly Master (Tianshidao), reputedly established by the formidable Zhang Daoling. In 142 CE, according to Daoist tradition, Zhang was visited by the Lord on High, who named him his vicar on Earth with the title Heavenly Master. The dispensation articulated an eschatological vision of saving initiates—the pure, those destined to become immortals— by enforcing a strict moral code. Under evolving forms, Tianshidao has remained central to Chinese society, and Daoist priests have upheld their spiritual allegiance to Zhang, their now divinized founder. This book tells the story of the longue durée evolution of the Heavenly Master leadership and institution. Later hagiography credits Zhang Daoling’s great-grandson, putatively the fourth Heavenly Master, with settling the family at Longhushan (Dragon and Tiger Mountain); in time his d
