The Roman Republic was one of the most remarkable achievements in the history of civilization. After its founding in 509 BCE, the Romans refused to allow a single leader to seize control of the state and grab absolute power. The Roman commitment to cooperative government and peaceful transfers of power was unmatched in the history of the ancient world. But by the year 133 BCE, the republican system was unable to cope with the vast empire Rome now ruled. Almost as soon as they had conquered the Mediterranean, Rome became engulfed in violent political conflicts and civil wars that would destroy the Republic less than a century later. Chronicling the years 133-80 BCE, The Storm Before the Storm is a rollicking deep-dive into the bloody battles, political machinations, and human drama that defined a dangerous new political environment--a stark warning for modern readers about what happens to a civilization driven by increasing economic inequality, political polarization, and ruthless ambition.",USD 27.00,9781610397216,1610397215 reading,2018-09-10T10:21:28Z,0,0.0,Stephen R.

Nearly six hundred years ago, a short, genial, cannily alert man in his late thirties took a very old manuscript off a library shelf, saw with excitement what he had discovered, and ordered that it be copied. That book was the last surviving manuscript of an ancient Roman philosophical epic, On the Nature of Things , by Lucretius—a beautiful poem of the most dangerous ideas: that the universe functioned without the aid of gods, that religious fear was damaging to human life, and that matter was made up of very small particles in eternal motion, colliding and swerving in new directions. The copying and translation of this ancient book-the greatest discovery of the greatest book-hunter of his age-fueled the Renaissance, inspiring artists such as Botticelli and thinkers such as Giordano Bruno; shaped the thought of Galileo and Freud, Darwin and Einstein; and had a revolutionary influence on writers such as Montaigne and Shakespeare and even Thomas Jefferson. 16 pages full-color illustrations",USD 26.95,9780393064476,0393064476 read,2018-09-09T04:22:16Z,60,8.3,Min Jin Lee,Hardcover,496,Grand Central Publishing,Pachinko,https://book.douban.com/subject/26950218/,,"Pachinko follows one Korean family through the generations, beginning in early 1900s Korea with Sunja, the prized daughter of a poor yet proud family, whose unplanned pregnancy threatens to shame them all.

Is the world really falling apart? Is the ideal of progress obsolete? In this elegant assessment of the human condition in the third millennium, cognitive scientist and public intellectual Steven Pinker urges us to step back from the gory headlines and prophecies of doom, which play to our psychological biases. Instead, follow the data: In seventy-five jaw-dropping graphs, Pinker shows that life, health, prosperity, safety, peace, knowledge, and happiness are on the rise, not just in the West, but worldwide. This progress is not the result of some cosmic force. It is a gift of the Enlightenment: the conviction that reason and science can enhance human flourishing. Far from being a naïve hope, the Enlightenment, we now know, has worked. But more than ever, it needs a vigorous defense. The Enlightenment project swims against currents of human nature–tribalism, authoritarianism, demonization, magical thinking–which demagogues are all too willing to exploit. Many commentators, committed to political, religious, or romantic ideologies, fight a rearguard action against it. The result is a corrosive fatalism and a willingness to wreck the precious institutions of liberal democracy and global cooperation.

Alexander von Humboldt (1769–1859) was an intrepid explorer and the most famous scientist of his age. In North America, his name still graces four counties, thirteen towns, a river, parks, bays, lakes, and mountains. His restless life was packed with adventure and discovery, whether he was climbing the highest volcanoes in the world or racing through anthrax-infected Siberia or translating his research into bestselling publications that changed science and thinking. Among Humboldt’s most revolutionary ideas was a radical vision of nature, that it is a complex and interconnected global force that does not exist for the use of humankind alone. Now Andrea Wulf brings the man and his achievements back into focus: his daring expeditions and investigation of wild environments around the world and his discoveries of similarities between climate and vegetation zones on different continents. She also discusses his prediction of human-induced climate change, his remarkable ability to fashion poetic narrative out of scientific observation, and his relationships with iconic figures such as Simón Bolívar and Thomas Jefferson. Wulf examines how Humboldt’s writings inspired other naturalists and poets such as Darwin, Wordsworth, and Goethe, and she makes the compelling case that it was Humboldt’s influence that led John Muir to his ideas of natural preservation and that shaped Thoreau’s Walden.

It was a secretive, glamorous, often brutal business—one where teas and silks and porcelain were purchased with profits from the opium trade.

Drawing on historical records as well as his conversations with Chinese leaders over the past forty years, Kissinger examines how China has approached diplomacy, strategy, and negotiation throughout its history, and reflects on the consequences for the global balance of power in the 21st century. Since no other country can claim a more powerful link to its ancient past and classical principles, any attempt to understand China's future world role must begin with an appreciation of its long history. For centuries, China rarely encountered other societies of comparable size and sophistication; it was the ""Middle Kingdom,"" treating the peoples on its periphery as vassal states. At the same time, Chinese statesmen-facing threats of invasion from without, and the contests of competing factions within-developed a canon of strategic thought that prized the virtues of subtlety, patience, and indirection over feats of martial prowess. In On China, Kissinger examines key episodes in Chinese foreign policy from the classical era to the present day, with a particular emphasis on the decades since the rise of Mao Zedong. He illuminates the inner workings of Chinese diplomacy during such pivotal events as the initial encounters between China and modern European powers, the formation and breakdown of the Sino-Soviet alliance, the Korean War, Richard Nixon's historic trip to Beijing, and three crises in the Taiwan Straits. Drawing on his extensive personal experience with four generation of Chinese leaders, he brings to life towering figures such as Mao, Zhou Enlai, and Deng Xiaoping, revealing how their different visions have shaped China's modern destiny. With his singular vantage on U.S.-China relations, Kissinger traces the evolution of this fraught but crucial relationship over the past 60 years, following its dramatic course from estrangement to strategic partnership to economic interdependence, and toward an uncertain future.

Harold Bloom is Sterling Professor of Humanities, Yale University, and author of numerous volumes of literary criticism.","Originally published in 1949, Gilbert Highet's seminal The Classical Tradition is a herculean feat of comparative literature and a landmark publication in the history of classical reception. As Highet states in the opening lines of his Preface, this book outlines <""the chief ways in which Greek and Latin influence has moulded the literatures of western Europe and America.>"" With that simple statement, Highet takes his reader on a sweeping exploration of the history of western literature. To summarize what he covers is a near-impossible task. Discussions of Ovid and French literature of the Middle Ages and Chaucer's engagement with Virgil and Cicero lead, swiftly, into arguments of Christian versus <""pagan>"" works in the Renaissance, Baroque imitations of Seneca, and the (re)birth of satire. Building momentum through Byron, Tennyson, and the rise of <""art of art's sake,>"" Highet, at last, arrives at his conclusion: the birth and establishment of modernism. Though his humanist style may appear out-of-date in today's postmodernist world, there is a value to ensuring this influential work reaches a new generation, and Highet's light touch and persuasive, engaging voice guarantee the book's usefulness for a contemporary audience. Indeed, the book is free of the jargon-filled style of literary criticism that plagues much of current scholarship.

You'd be wrong. When he buys a beach house on the Carolina coast, Sedaris envisions long, relaxing vacations spent playing board games and lounging in the sun with those he loves most. And life at the Sea Section, as he names the vacation home, is exactly as idyllic as he imagined, except for one tiny, vexing realization: it's impossible to take a vacation from yourself. With Calypso, Sedaris sets his formidable powers of observation toward middle age and mortality. Make no mistake: these stories are very, very funny - it's a book that can make you laugh 'til you snort, the way only family can. Sedaris's writing has never been sharper, and his ability to shock readers into laughter unparalleled. But much of the comedy here is born out of that vertiginous moment when your own body betrays you and you realize that the story of your life is made up of more past than future. This is beach reading for people who detest beaches, required reading for those who loathe small talk and love a good tumour joke.

The extraordinary Siddhartha Mukherjee has a written a biography of the gene as deft, brilliant, and illuminating as his extraordinarily successful biography of cancer. Weaving science, social history, and personal narrative to tell us the story of one of the most important conceptual breakthroughs of modern times, Mukherjee animates the quest to understand human heredity and its surprising influence on our lives, personalities, identities, fates, and choices. Throughout the narrative, the story of Mukherjee’s own family—with its tragic and bewildering history of mental illness—cuts like a bright, red line, reminding us of the many questions that hang over our ability to translate the science of genetics from the laboratory to the real world. In superb prose and with an instinct for the dramatic scene, he describes the centuries of research and experimentation—from Aristotle and Pythagoras to Mendel and Darwin, from Boveri and Morgan to Crick, Watson and Franklin, all the way through the revolutionary twenty-first century innovators who mapped the human genome.

The epic story of the development of the American industrial experience is inextricably related to the history of the Morgan banks. Though this fascinating story is virtually the same as that told by Kathleen Bunk in Morgan Grenfell 1838-1988 ( LJ 12/89), Chernow adds color and personality with an emphasis on the 20th-century development of the bank.

Acclaimed by The Wall Street Journal as ""brilliantly researched and written,"" the book tells the rich, panoramic story of four generations of Morgans and the powerful, secretive firms they spawned. It is the definitive account of the rise of the modern financial world. A gripping history of banking and the booms and busts that shaped the world on both sides of the Atlantic, The House of Morgan traces the trajectory of the J. P. Morgan empire from its obscure beginnings in Victorian London to the crash of 1987. Ron Chernow paints a fascinating portrait of the private saga of the Morgans and the rarefied world of the American and British elite in which they moved. Based on extensive interviews and access to the family and business archives, The House of Morgan is an investigative masterpiece, a compelling account of a remarkable institution and the men who ran it, and an essential book for understanding the money and power behind the major historical events of the last 150 years.

Ron Chernow, whom the New York Times called ""as elegant an architect of monumental histories as we've seen in decades,"" now brings to startling life the man who was arguably the most important figure in American history, who never attained the presidency, but who had a far more lasting impact than many who did. An illegitimate, largely self-taught orphan from the Caribbean, Hamilton rose with stunning speed to become George Washington's aide-de-camp, a member of the Constitutional Convention, coauthor of The Federalist Papers , leader of the Federalist party, and the country's first Treasury secretary. With masterful storytelling skills, Chernow presents the whole sweep of Hamilton's turbulent life: his exotic, brutal upbringing; his brilliant military, legal, and financial exploits; his titanic feuds with Jefferson, Madison, Adams, and Monroe; his illicit romances; and his famous death in a duel with Aaron Burr in July 1804. For the first time, Chernow captures the personal life of this handsome, witty, and perennially controversial genius and explores his poignant relations with his wife Eliza, their eight children, and numberless friends. This engrossing narrative will dispel forever the stereotype of the Founding Fathers as wooden figures and show that, for all their greatness, they were fiery, passionate, often flawed human beings. Alexander Hamilton was one of the seminal figures in our history. His richly dramatic saga, rendered in Chernow's vivid prose, is nothing less than a riveting account of America's founding, from the Revolutionary War to the rise of the first federal government.",USD 35.00,9781594200090,1594200092 wish,2017-09-23T00:19:43Z,348,7.9,李永平,平装,339,上海人民出版社,大河尽头 上卷,https://book.douban.com/subject/10430611/,"李永平 1947年生于英属婆罗洲沙捞越邦古晋市。台湾大学外文系毕业后,留系担任助教,并任《中外文学》杂志执行编辑。后赴美深造,获美国纽约州立大学比较文学硕士、圣路易华盛顿大学比较文学博士。曾先后任教台湾中山大学、东吴大学、东华大学。 著有《婆罗洲之子》《拉子妇》《吉陵春秋》《海东青:台北的一则寓言》《朱鸰漫游仙境》《雨雪霏霏:婆罗洲童年记事》,并有译作《大河湾》《幽黯国度》《纸牌的秘密》《道德剧》《尽得其妙:如何读西方正典》《布鲁克林的纳善先生》等。 《吉陵春秋》入选“二十世纪中文小说一百强”,英译本于2003年由美国哥伦比亚大学出版社出版。《大河尽头》上、下卷分别入选2008、2010 《亚洲周刊》十大华文小说,并荣获第三届“红楼梦奖:世界华文长篇小说奖”决审团奖。其他作品曾获时报文学推荐奖、联合报小说奖、联合报读书人年度最佳书奖、中央日报出版等奖项之肯定。","生命的源头……不就是一堆石头、性和死亡? 上、下卷分别入选2008、2010 《亚洲周刊》十大华文小说 2008 《中国时报》“开卷”十大好书(中文创作类) 2010 第三届“红楼梦奖:世界华文长篇小说奖”决审团奖 2010 九歌年度小说选年度小说奖 河源,天际,赤道那大日头下,苍莽雨林中,拔地而起,阴森森赤条条耸立着开天辟地时布龙神遗落的一块巨石──原住民达雅克人的冥山禁地“峇都帝坂”;传说,那是生命的源头。 十五岁那年的夏天,少年“永”与荷兰姑妈克莉丝汀娜·房龙小姐——这对刚结识的异国姑侄踏上大河溯源之旅,沿婆罗洲第一大河卡布雅斯河而上,尽头是达雅克人的圣山“峇都帝坂”。 姑侄俩一路上见识人性的纯真和黑暗,经历土人部落的夜宴与笙歌,游赏雨林的纯净且原始,在大河中游的新唐,更被迫面对房龙小姐不为人知不堪回首的过去…… 雨林原始氛围令西方男女放浪形骇,刚步入青春期的华人少年情欲之弦也被拨响,但更震撼的,他目睹东西方世界的不平等,资本主义和帝国主义外来者对自然资源野蛮的“物掠夺”,以及对土著妇女残暴的“性掠夺”。小女孩惨遭蹂躏、低呼“血”、“痛”的童音,“注定要在我耳边呢喃一辈子,幽灵似的纠缠我整世人”。 ——亚洲周刊 《大河尽头(上卷:溯流)》是李永平写作计划的上卷,但以气势和情节而言,已经可以当作一本完整的小说阅读……创作四十年,李永平写出了一本既好看也令人看好的作品。《大河尽头》的下半部因此尤其令人期待。 ——哈佛大学教授 王德威",32.00元,9787208105041,7208105049 reading,2017-09-18T03:14:13Z,1,0.0,Robert A.

In the early hours of January 31, 1968, the North Vietnamese launched over one hundred attacks across South Vietnam in what would become known as the Tet Offensive. The lynchpin of Tet was the capture of Hue, Vietnam’s intellectual and cultural capital, by 10,000 National Liberation Front troops who descended from hidden camps and surged across the city of 140,000. Within hours the entire city was in their hands save for two small military outposts. American commanders refused to believe the size and scope of the Front’s presence, ordering small companies of marines against thousands of entrenched enemy troops. After several futile and deadly days, Lieutenant Colonel Ernie Cheatham would finally come up with a strategy to retake the city, block by block and building by building, in some of the most intense urban combat since World War II. With unprecedented access to war archives in the U.S. and Vietnam and interviews with participants from both sides, Bowden narrates each stage of this crucial battle through multiple viewpoints. Played out over 24 days and ultimately costing 10,000 lives, the Battle of Hue was by far the bloodiest of the entire war.

Trevor was born to a white Swiss father and a black Xhosa mother at a time when such a union was punishable by five years in prison. Living proof of his parents’ indiscretion, Trevor was kept mostly indoors for the earliest years of his life, bound by the extreme and often absurd measures his mother took to hide him from a government that could, at any moment, steal him away. Finally liberated by the end of South Africa’s tyrannical white rule, Trevor and his mother set forth on a grand adventure, living openly and freely and embracing the opportunities won by a centuries-long struggle. Born a Crime is the story of a mischievous young boy who grows into a restless young man as he struggles to find himself in a world where he was never supposed to exist. It is also the story of that young man’s relationship with his fearless, rebellious, and fervently religious mother—his teammate, a woman determined to save her son from the cycle of poverty, violence, and abuse that would ultimately threaten her own life. The stories collected here are by turns hilarious, dramatic, and deeply affecting. Whether subsisting on caterpillars for dinner during hard times, being thrown from a moving car during an attempted kidnapping, or just trying to survive the life-and-death pitfalls of dating in high school, Trevor illuminates his curious world with an incisive wit and unflinching honesty. His stories weave together to form a moving and searingly funny portrait of a boy making his way through a damaged world in a dangerous time, armed only with a keen sense of humor and a mother’s unconventional, unconditional love.

It’s hard to imagine anyone else doing a finer job of it.”—The Seattle Times “Powerful prose . . . told through stories and vignettes that are sharply observed, deftly conveyed and consistently candid.

Born a Crime offers Americans a second introduction to Trevor Noah, and he makes a real impression.”—Newsday “An affecting memoir, Born a Crime [is] a love letter to his mother.”—The Washington Post “Witty and revealing . . . Noah’s story is the story of modern South Africa; though he enjoyed some privileges of the region’s slow Westernization, his formative years were shaped by poverty, injustice, and violence. Noah is quick with a disarming joke, and he skillfully integrates the parallel narratives via interstitial asides between chapters. . . . Perhaps the most harrowing tales are those of his abusive stepfather, which form the book’s final act (and which Noah cleverly foreshadows throughout earlier chapters), but equally prominent are the laugh-out-loud yarns about going to the prom, and the differences between ‘White Church’ and ‘Black Church.’”—Publishers Weekly (starred review) “[A] substantial collection of staggering personal essays . . .

It’s aimed at beginning programmers, but even if you’ve written programs before and just want to add Python to your list of languages, Introducing Python will get you started. It’s an unhurried introduction, taking small steps from the basics to more involved and varied topics. I mix cookbook and tutorial styles to explain new terms and ideas, but not too many at once. Real Python code is included early and often. Even though this is an introduction, I include some topics that might seem advanced, such as NoSQL databases and message-passing libraries. I chose these because they can solve some problems better than standard solutions.

For more than forty years, Bloom has transformed college students into lifelong readers with his unrivaled love for literature. Now, at a time when faster and easier electronic media threaten to eclipse the practice of reading, Bloom draws on his experience as critic, teacher, and prolific reader to plumb the great books for their sustaining wisdom. Shedding all polemic, Bloom addresses the solitary reader, who, he urges, should read for the purest of all reasons: to discover and augment the self. Always dazzling in his ability to draw connections between texts across continents and centuries, Bloom instructs readers in how to immerse themselves in the different literary forms. Probing discussions of the works of beloved writers such as William Shakespeare, Ernest Hemingway, Jane Austen, Walt Whitman, Emily Dickinson, Charles Dickens, and William Faulkner highlight the varied challenges and delights found in short stories, poems, novels, and plays. Bloom not only provides illuminating guidance on how to read a text but also illustrates what such reading can bring -- aesthetic pleasure, increased individuality and selfknowledge, and the lifetime companionship of the most engaging and complex literary characters. Bloom's engaging prose and brilliant insights will send you hurrying back to old favorites and entice you to discover new ones. His ultimate faith in the restorative power of literature resonates on every page of this infinitely rewarding and important book.

Next Hessler spends six years in Sancha, a small farming village in the mountains north of Beijing, which changes dramatically after the local road is paved and the capital's auto boom brings new tourism. Finally, he turns his attention to urban China, researching development over a period of more than two years in Lishui, a small southeastern city where officials hope that a new government-built expressway will transform a farm region into a major industrial center.

The decline of this group, a demographic of our country that has been slowly disintegrating over forty years, has been reported on with growing frequency and alarm, but has never before been written about as searingly from the inside. J. D. Vance tells the true story of what a social, regional, and class decline feels like when you were born with it hung around your neck. The Vance family story begins hopefully in postwar America. J. D.’s grandparents were “dirt poor and in love,” and moved north from Kentucky’s Appalachia region to Ohio in the hopes of escaping the dreadful poverty around them. They raised a middle-class family, and eventually their grandchild (the author) would graduate from Yale Law School, a conventional marker of their success in achieving generational upward mobility. But as the family saga of Hillbilly Elegy plays out, we learn that this is only the short, superficial version. Vance’s grandparents, aunt, uncle, sister, and, most of all, his mother, struggled profoundly with the demands of their new middle-class life, and were never able to fully escape the legacy of abuse, alcoholism, poverty, and trauma so characteristic of their part of America. Vance piercingly shows how he himself still carries around the demons of their chaotic family history. A deeply moving memoir with its share of humor and vividly colorful figures, Hillbilly Elegy is the story of how upward mobility really feels.

Neil Gaiman has long been inspired by ancient mythology in creating the fantastical realms of his fiction. Now he turns his attention back to the source, presenting a bravura rendition of the great northern tales. In Norse Mythology, Gaiman stays true to the myths in envisioning the major Norse pantheon: Odin, the highest of the high, wise, daring, and cunning; Thor, Odin’s son, incredibly strong yet not the wisest of gods; and Loki―son of a giant―blood brother to Odin and a trickster and unsurpassable manipulator. Gaiman fashions these primeval stories into a novelistic arc that begins with the genesis of the legendary nine worlds and delves into the exploits of deities, dwarfs, and giants. Once, when Thor’s hammer is stolen, Thor must disguise himself as a woman―difficult with his beard and huge appetite―to steal it back. More poignant is the tale in which the blood of Kvasir―the most sagacious of gods―is turned into a mead that infuses drinkers with poetry. The work culminates in Ragnarok, the twilight of the gods and rebirth of a new time and people. Through Gaiman’s deft and witty prose emerge these gods with their fiercely competitive natures, their susceptibility to being duped and to duping others, and their tendency to let passion ignite their actions, making these long-ago myths breathe pungent life again.",USD 25.95,9780393609097,039360909X read,2017-03-28T09:06:23Z,1182,9.3,Peter Hessler,Hardcover,512,Harper,Oracle Bones,https://book.douban.com/subject/1790547/,"Letters From China Review by JONATHAN SPENCE Published: April 30, 2006 HOW can one catch today's China in words? It is a country in constant motion, defying the laws of economic gravity, reaching out insistently around the world for raw materials to fuel its growth, eating up its land and its past, enticing outsiders to help it achieve new levels of wealth and power, opening up class fissures that were thought to be closed, testing the limits of rapid urban growth while giving its people chances for self-exploration and intellectual transformation they have not known for over half a century. Fortunately, Peter Hessler has not been dismayed by the challenge. Instead, after teaching English and freelancing as a journalist, he decided to give up the world of deadlines and throw himself into this boisterous hurly-burly of noise and images as the Beijing correspondent for The New Yorker. Serenely confident, he has a marvelous sense of the intonations and gestures that give life to the moment; he knows when to join in the action and when simply to wait for things to happen. Today's China could have been made for him. If you don't believe me, dip into the chapters in ""Oracle Bones"" called ""Starch"" and ""Wonton Western,"" which focus on the worlds of industry in Manchuria and film-making on the edge of the Tarim Basin. You will be hooked. Hessler must have spent a good deal of mental energy developing a structure for his book, determined to strike an aesthetic balance between the personal lives of the individual Chinese whose stories he tells and the physical and historical spaces they inhabit. He achieved this by constructing a narrative scaffolding some readers may initially find distracting. But rest assured: everything soon falls into place. What you might call the horizontal level is provided by 24 chapters covering Hessler's experiences in China from May 1999 (when the Chinese Embassy in Belgrade was bombed by American planes during NATO's intervention in the Balkans) to June 2002 (when Hessler, on a return trip to the United States, visited two elderly Chinese scholars at a retirement home in Reston, Va.). Intersecting these modern chapters are 13 others, the vertical shafts that Hessler calls ""Artifacts"" since each is related to events deep in China's past — or to those who excavate and study that past. The ""oracle bones"" of Hessler's title, found in profusion in and around the ancient city of Anyang, date from the second millennium B.C. and are incised with divination texts written in the first known form of what we now call Chinese. When the diviners applied searing heat to the bones — many were in fact the flat lower carapace of tortoises — the surfaces cracked, yielding patterns that predicted the chance of success for a given enterprise. Though the inscriptions are often brief and fragmentary, they are a source of passionate interest to scholars, both Chinese and Western. They also provide a rich metaphor for the search for meaning in China's past — and for prognostications about its future. In these separate ""Archives"" chapters, Hessler plays elaborate and intriguing games with the possibilities of the bones: with the scholars who have excavated and interpreted them and with the Chinese written language as it developed from these beginnings. Elsewhere, Hessler offers unexpected views of the West. Particularly chilling is a vivid portrait of hostility to the United States, in part due to the Belgrade bombing and the downing of an American spy plane two years later, that spilled out in the days after 9/11, when China was flooded with doctored DVD's of the wrecked twin towers and the damaged Pentagon, interspersed with clips from miscellaneous Hollywood disaster films and vignettes of American leaders uttering random, often unintelligible, pronouncements. A good part of the modern story line is provided by the coming-of-age of three of Hessler's Chinese students from his language-teaching days in Sichuan Province in the late 1990's (the subject of his first book, ""River Town""), conveyed through their letters and their occasional meetings. Written in an English that is idiomatic and frank with just occasional slips of usage or spelling, the students' letters are entrancing and genuinely moving. (""My parents and relatives all wanted to introduce girlfriends to me,"" one of his former student wrote. ""So they introduced one and one, but the one and one passed me and didn't become my wife."") The students provide an absorbing view of the difficulties faced by young Chinese from remote provinces as they try to find decent jobs in the sweatshops and the sleazily managed schools of boom areas like Shenzhen or Wenzhou. Their new world is fiercely competitive: through their eyes, Hessler shows us the difficulties of maintaining honesty in the cutthroat system of present-day China. Their stories also contain intriguing subsidiary characters like the radio-show call-in hostesses, often from rural backgrounds themselves, whose sympathy and common-sense advice play a crucial role in boosting the morale of hundreds of thousands of migrants. Appearing at intervals in various locales is another figure who also provides narrative continuity: a middle-aged Uighur from Xinjiang Province whom Hessler calls Polat, to prevent him from being identified by the authorities in either China or the United States. Polat and Hessler became friends in the spring of 1999 in a Uighur restaurant in Beijing, after Polat defended Hessler against Chinese diners angered by the Belgrade bombing. The Uighurs, many of whom are Muslim and have distinctly un-Chinese features, have been designated as one of the state's official ""minority peoples."" Some are also separatists and support the East Turkestan Islamic Movement, which the Chinese government eventually persuaded the United States to designate a terrorist organization. Though Polat does not seem to have had terrorist contacts, he operated a host of illegal commercial activities, including black-market money-changing. He and Hessler, both stuck in grubby and unattractive lodgings, used to meet at a restaurant in the former Russian section of Beijing for beer and dumplings and to talk about the world. Some time later, a Chinese ""visa consultant"" created a fictitious identity for Polat, which enabled him to obtain a visa and enter the United States. After a brief stopover in Oklahoma, he moved to Washington, D.C., and found a job delivering takeout Asian food. His is an astonishing story, full of racial tensions, finely told — and not one to inspire readers who are security-conscious. Demonstrating his versatility, Hessler intersperses Polat's story and those of his other Chinese acquaintances with accounts of the different archaeologists who featured in the hunt for and decipherment of the oracle bones. Here too there are dark ripples, some of them circling out from the death of one of China's finest scholars, Chen Mengjia, who was denounced as a ""Rightist"" in 1957 and committed suicide during the Cultural Revolution. At least one of those who denounced him is still living, and in a rare burst of moralistic posturing, Hessler confronts him, pushing him to make a confession of regret. Hessler is surely right about the echoes that still vibrate from China's unvarnished past. The bones, like the country, need endless deciphering. But as an 80-year-old Chinese scholar, who suffered humiliations of his own, says to Hessler, there is little point in trying to settle old scores. ""The things that people said and wrote in those days don't count,"" he explains. ""The ones who criticized me the harshest, I hardly remember them. I don't hate them."" The bones, like the lives of China's people, can swirl into unexpected conjunctions.","From the acclaimed author of River Town comes a rare portrait, both intimate and epic, of twenty-first-century China as it opens its doors to the outside world. A century ago, outsiders saw Chinaas a place where nothing ever changes. Today the coun-try has become one of the most dynamic regions on earth. That sense of time—the contrast between past and present, and the rhythms that emerge in a vast, ever-evolving country—is brilliantly illuminated by Peter Hessler in Oracle Bones , a book that explores the human side of China's transformation. Hessler tells the story of modern-day China and its growing links to the Western world as seen through the lives of a handful of ordinary people. In addition to the author, an American writer living in Beijing, the narrative follows Polat, a member of a forgotten ethnic minority, who moves to the United States in searchof freedom; William Jefferson Foster, who grew up in an illiterate family and becomes a teacher; Emily,a migrant factory worker in a city without a past; and Chen Mengjia, a scholar of oracle-bone inscriptions, the earliest known writing in East Asia, and a man whosetragic story has been lost since the Cultural Revolution. All are migrants, emigrants, or wanderers who find themselves far from home, their lives dramatically changed by historical forces they are struggling to understand. Peter Hessler excavates the past and puts a remarkable human face on the history he uncovers. In a narrative that gracefully moves between the ancient and the present, the East and the West, Hessler captures the soul of a country that is undergoing a momentous change before our eyes.",USD 26.95,9780060826581,0060826584 read,2017-03-26T06:18:35Z,16621,8.9,白先勇,精装,392,广西师范大学出版社,台北人,https://book.douban.com/subject/5337248/,白先勇,小说家、散文家、评论家、剧作家。1937年生,广西桂林人。台湾大学外文系毕业,美国爱荷华大学“作家工作室”(Writer's Workshop)文学创作硕士。他的小说被译成英、法、德、意、日、韩等多种语言文字,在海内外拥有读者无数。著有短篇小说集《寂寞的十七岁》、《台北人》、《纽约客》,长篇小说《孽子》,散文集《蓦然回首》、《明星咖啡馆》、《第六只手指》、《树犹如此》,电影剧本《金大班的最后一夜》、《玉卿嫂》、《孤恋花》、《最后的贵族》等,重新整理明代大剧作家汤显祖的戏曲《牡丹亭》、高濂《玉簪记》,并撰有父亲白崇禧及家族传记。,作为20世纪中文小说100强的《台北人》,是一部深具复杂性的短篇小说集,由十四个一流的短篇小说构成,串联成一体,则效果遽然增加,不但小说之幅面变广,使我们看到社会之“众生相”,更重要的,由于主题命意之一再重复,与互相陪衬辅佐,使我们能更进一步深入了解作品之含义,并使我们得以一窥隐藏在作品内的作者之人生观与宇宙观。《台北人》之人物,可以说囊括了台北都市社会之各阶层:从年迈挺拔的儒将朴公(《梁父吟》)到退休了的女仆顺恩嫂(《思旧赋》),从上流社会的窦夫人(《游园惊梦》)到下流社会的“总司令”(《孤恋花》)。有知识分子,如《冬夜》之余嵚磊教授;有商人,如《花桥荣记》之老板娘;有帮佣工人,如《那血一般红的杜鹃花》之王雄;有军队里的人,如《岁除》之赖鸣升;有社交界名女,如尹雪艳;有低级舞女,如金大班。这些“大”人物、“中”人物与“小”人物,来自中国大陆不同的省籍或都市(上海、南京、四川、湖南、桂林、北平等),他们贫富悬殊,行业各异,但没有一个不背负着一段沉重的、斩不断的往事。而这份“过去”,这份“记忆”,或多或少与中华民国成立到大陆沦陷那段“忧患重重的时代”,有直接的关系。,38.00元,9787563397648,7563397647 read,2017-03-21T08:56:07Z,70,8.0,Ruth Ozeki,Hardcover,432,Viking Books,A Tale for the Time Being,https://book.douban.com/subject/12273660/,,"A brilliant, unforgettable, and long-awaited novel from bestselling author Ruth Ozeki “Atime being is someone who lives in time, and that means you, and me, and every one of us who is, or was, or ever will be.” In Tokyo, sixteen-year-old Nao has decided there’s only one escape from her aching loneliness and her classmates’ bullying.

He is the author of River Town, which won the Kiriyama Prize; Oracle Bones, which was a finalist for the National Book Award; and, most recently, Country Driving. He won the 2008 National Magazine Award for excellence in reporting, and he was named a MacArthur Fellow in 2011. He lives in Cairo. Biography Peter Hessler, one of four children, was born in 1969, in Pittsburgh, but moved shortly thereafter to Columbia, Missouri. His father is a recently retired professor of sociology at the University of Missouri, and his mother teaches history at Columbia College. Hessler attended Princeton University, where he majored in English and Creative Writing. The summer before graduation, he worked as a researcher for the Kellogg Foundation in southeastern Missouri, where he wrote a long ethnography about a small town called Sikeston. This became his first significant publication, appearing in the Journal for Applied Anthropology. In 1992, Hessler entered Oxford University, where he studied English Language and Literature at Mansfield College. After graduating in 1994, he traveled for six month in Europe and Asia. One of the highlights of that trip was taking the trans-Siberian train from Moscow to Beijing. That journey resulted in his first published travel story, an essay that appeared in The New York Times in 1995. And that journey was his first introduction to China. He spent the following year freelancing and attempting to write a book about his travels. Although the book didn't work out, he was able to publish travel stories in a range of newspapers, including The New York Times, The Philadelphia Inquirer, The Washington Post, and The Newark Star-Ledger, among others. In 1995, he received the Stratton Fellowship, a grant from the Friends of Switzerland and spent two months hiking 650 miles across the Alps. Afterwards he continued to freelance, writing travel stories for American newspapers while teaching freshman composition at the University of Missouri. He also organized volunteer projects for students on campus. In 1996 he joined the Peace Corps and was sent to China. For two years, he taught English at a small college in Fuling, a city on the Yangtze River. While living in Fuling, he studied Mandarin Chinese and became proficient in the language. After completing his Peace Corps service in 1998, he traveled to Tibet, where he researched a long article, ""Tibet Through Chinese Eyes,"" which appeared in the Atlantic Monthly in February of 1999. Following that trip, he returned to Missouri and wrote River Town: Two Years on the Yangtze. While working on the book, he continued to write travel stories for The New York Times and other newspapers. In March of 1999, Hessler decided to return to China independently and try to establish himself as a freelance writer. Over the following years, he traveled widely in China and freelanced for a variety of publications. For a brief spell, he was accredited as the Boston Globe stringer in Beijing. In 2000, The New Yorker began publishing some of his stories; the following year, he became the first New Yorker correspondent to be accredited as a full-time resident correspondent in the People's Republic. In 2000, Hessler also started researching stories for National Geographic Magazine. The first assignment was a story about Xi'an archaeology, which sparked his interest in researching antiquities. Subsequently he accepted an assignment for a story about China's bronze-age cultures, which led to his interest of the oracle bones of the Anyang excavations. River Town was published in 2001. It won the Kiriyama Prize for outstanding nonfiction book about the Pacific Rim and South Asia. It was also a finalist for the Barnes & Noble Discover award, and in the United Kingdom it was shortlisted for the Thomas Cook Travel Book Award. The book has been translated into Korean, Thai, and Hungarian. The Hungarian translation won the Elle Literary Prize for nonfiction in 2004. Peter Hessler's magazine stories have been selected for the Best American Travel Writing anthologies of 2001, 2004 and 2005, and also for the Best American Sports Writing anthology of 2004. ""Chasing the Wall,"" a National Geographic story published in 2003, was nominated for a National Magazine Award. Hessler first conceived of Oracle Bones at the end of 2001 and spent the next four years researching and writing the book. He currently lives in Beijing. Author biography courtesy of HarperCollins. Good To Know ""The only steady job I ever held in journalism was delivering the Columbia Missourian,"" Hessler revealed in our interview. ""I knew I wanted to be a writer since I was sixteen years old. Mary Racine, who taught sophomore English at Hickman High School, first encouraged me to take writing seriously. Mary Ann Gates taught juniors and Khaki Westerfield taught seniors; they were all remarkable teachers It makes a big difference to be encouraged at such an early stage.""","A New York Times Notable Book Winner of the Kiriyama Book Prize In the heart of China's Sichuan province, amid the terraced hills of the Yangtze River valley, lies the remote town of Fuling. Like many other small cities in this ever-evolving country, Fuling is heading down a new path of change and growth, which came into remarkably sharp focus when Peter Hessler arrived as a Peace Corps volunteer, marking the first time in more than half a century that the city had an American resident. Hessler taught English and American literature at the local college, but it was his students who taught him about the complex processes of understanding that take place when one is immersed in a radically different society. Poignant, thoughtful, funny, and enormously compelling, River Town is an unforgettable portrait of a city that is seeking to understand both what it was and what it someday will be.

Pulitzer Prize-winning Washington Post senior Pentagon correspondant Thomas E. Ricks's Fiasco is masterful and explosive reckoning with the planning and execution of the American military invasion and occupation of Iraq, based on the unprecedented candor of key participants. The American military is a tightly sealed community, and few outsiders have reason to know that a great many senior officers view the Iraq war with incredulity and dismay. But many officers have shared their anger with renowned military reporter Thomas E. Ricks, and in Fiasco, Ricks combines these astonishing on-the-record military accounts with his own extraordinary on-the-ground reportage to create a spellbinding account of an epic disaster. As many in the military publicly acknowledge here for the first time, the guerrilla insurgency that exploded several months after Saddam's fall was not foreordained. In fact, to a shocking degree, it was created by the folly of the war's architects. But the officers who did raise their voices against the miscalculations, shortsightedness, and general failure of the war effort were generally crushed, their careers often ended. A willful blindness gripped political and military leaders, and dissent was not tolerated. There are a number of heroes in Fiasco-inspiring leaders from the highest levels of the Army and Marine hierarchies to the men and women whose skill and bravery led to battlefield success in towns from Fallujah to Tall Afar-but again and again, strategic incoherence rendered tactical success meaningless. There was never any question that the U.S. military would topple Saddam Hussein, but as Fiasco shows there was also never any real thought about what would come next.

In this superlative volume, Jean Edward Smith combines contemporary scholarship and a broad range of primary source material to provide an engrossing narrative of one of America’s greatest presidents. This is a portrait painted in broad strokes and fine details. We see how Roosevelt’s restless energy, fierce intellect, personal magnetism, and ability to project effortless grace permitted him to master countless challenges throughout his life. Smith recounts FDR’s battles with polio and physical disability, and how these experiences helped forge the resolve that FDR used to surmount the economic turmoil of the Great Depression and the wartime threat of totalitarianism. Here also is FDR’s private life depicted with unprecedented candor and nuance, with close attention paid to the four women who molded his personality and helped to inform his worldview: His mother, Sara Delano Roosevelt, formidable yet ever supportive and tender; his wife, Eleanor, whose counsel and affection were instrumental to FDR’s public and individual achievements; Lucy Mercer, the great romantic love of FDR’s life; and Missy LeHand, FDR’s longtime secretary, companion, and confidante, whose adoration of her boss was practically limitless. Smith also tackles head-on and in-depth the numerous failures and miscues of Roosevelt’s public career, including his disastrous attempt to reconstruct the Judiciary; the shameful internment of Japanese-Americans; and Roosevelt’s occasionally self-defeating Executive overreach. Additionally, Smith offers a sensitive and balanced assessment of Roosevelt’s response to the Holocaust, noting its breakthroughs and shortcomings. Summing up Roosevelt’s legacy, Jean Smith declares that FDR, more than any other individual, changed the relationship between the American people and their government. It was Roosevelt who revolutionized the art of campaigning and used the burgeoning mass media to garner public support and allay fears. But more important, Smith gives us the clearest picture yet of how this quintessential Knickerbocker aristocrat, a man who never had to depend on a paycheck, became the common man’s president. The result is a powerful account that adds fresh perspectives and draws profound conclusions about a man whose story is widely known but far less well understood. Written for the general reader and scholars alike, FDR is a stunning biography in every way worthy of its subject.

Marie-Laure lives with her father in Paris near the Museum of Natural History, where he works as the master of its thousands of locks. When she is six, Marie-Laure goes blind and her father builds a perfect miniature of their neighborhood so she can memorize it by touch and navigate her way home. When she is twelve, the Nazis occupy Paris and father and daughter flee to the walled citadel of Saint-Malo, where Marie-Laure’s reclusive great-uncle lives in a tall house by the sea. With them they carry what might be the museum’s most valuable and dangerous jewel. In a mining town in Germany, the orphan Werner grows up with his younger sister, enchanted by a crude radio they find. Werner becomes an expert at building and fixing these crucial new instruments, a talent that wins him a place at a brutal academy for Hitler Youth, then a special assignment to track the resistance. More and more aware of the human cost of his intelligence, Werner travels through the heart of the war and, finally, into Saint-Malo, where his story and Marie-Laure’s converge. Doerr’s “stunning sense of physical detail and gorgeous metaphors” (San Francisco Chronicle) are dazzling.

Perlstein's epic account begins in the blood and fire of the 1965 Watts riots, nine months after Lyndon Johnson's historic landslide victory over Barry Goldwater appeared to herald a permanent liberal consensus in the United States. Yet the next year, scores of liberals were tossed out of Congress, America was more divided than ever, and a disgraced politician was on his way to a shocking comeback: Richard Nixon. Between 1965 and 1972, America experienced no less than a second civil war. Out of its ashes, the political world we know now was born. It was the era not only of Nixon, Johnson, Spiro Agnew, Hubert H. Humphrey, George McGovern, Richard J. Daley, and George Wallace but Abbie Hoffman, Ronald Reagan, Angela Davis, Ted Kennedy, Charles Manson, John Lindsay, and Jane Fonda. There are tantalizing glimpses of Jimmy Carter, George H. W. Bush, Jesse Jackson, John Kerry, and even of two ambitious young men named Karl Rove and William Clinton -- and a not so ambitious young man named George W. Bush.

His other widely praised books are 1776, Brave Companions, The Great Bridge, and The Johnstown Flood. He has been honored with the National Book Foundation Distinguished Contribution to American Letters Award, the National Humanities Medal, and the Presidential Medal of Freedom.","The Greater Journey is the enthralling, inspiring—and until now, untold—story of the adventurous American artists, writers, doctors, politicians, architects, and others of high aspiration who set off for Paris in the years between 1830 and 1900, ambitious to excel in their work. After risking the hazardous journey across the Atlantic, these Americans embarked on a greater journey in the City of Light. Most had never left home, never experienced a different culture. None had any guarantee of success. That they achieved so much for themselves and their country profoundly altered American history. As David McCullough writes, “Not all pioneers went west.” Elizabeth Blackwell, the first female doctor in America, was one of this intrepid band. Another was Charles Sumner, who enrolled at the Sorbonne because of a burning desire to know more about everything. There he saw black students with the same ambition he had, and when he returned home, he would become the most powerful, unyielding voice for abolition in the U.S. Senate, almost at the cost of his life. Two staunch friends, James Fenimore Cooper and Samuel F. B. Morse, worked unrelentingly every day in Paris, Cooper writing and Morse painting what would be his masterpiece. From something he saw in France, Morse would also bring home his momentous idea for the telegraph. Pianist Louis Moreau Gottschalk from New Orleans launched his spectacular career performing in Paris at age 15. George P. A. Healy, who had almost no money and little education, took the gamble of a lifetime and with no prospects whatsoever in Paris became one of the most celebrated portrait painters of the day. His subjects included Abraham Lincoln. Medical student Oliver Wendell Holmes wrote home of his toil and the exhilaration in “being at the center of things” in what was then the medical capital of the world. From all they learned in Paris, Holmes and his fellow “medicals” were to exert lasting influence on the profession of medicine in the United States. Writers Ralph Waldo Emerson, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Mark Twain, and Henry James were all “discovering” Paris, marveling at the treasures in the Louvre, or out with the Sunday throngs strolling the city’s boulevards and gardens. “At last I have come into a dreamland,” wrote Harriet Beecher Stowe, seeking escape from the notoriety Uncle Tom’s Cabin had brought her. Almost forgotten today, the heroic American ambassador Elihu Washburne bravely remained at his post through the Franco-Prussian War, the long Siege of Paris and even more atrocious nightmare of the Commune. His vivid account in his diary of the starvation and suffering endured by the people of Paris (drawn on here for the first time) is one readers will never forget. The genius of sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens, the son of an immigrant shoemaker, and of painters Mary Cassatt and John Singer Sargent, three of the greatest American artists ever, would flourish in Paris, inspired by the examples of brilliant French masters, and by Paris itself. Nearly all of these Americans, whatever their troubles learning French, their spells of homesickness, and their suffering in the raw cold winters by the Seine, spent many of the happiest days and nights of their lives in Paris. McCullough tells this sweeping, fascinating story with power and intimacy, bringing us into the lives of remarkable men and women who, in Saint-Gaudens’s phrase, longed “to soar into the blue.” The Greater Journey is itself a masterpiece.",USD 37.50,9781416571766,1416571760 read,2016-02-23T09:58:47Z,2,0.0,Rick Perlstein,Paperback,704,Nation Books,Before the Storm,https://book.douban.com/subject/3887025/,,"Acclaimed historian Rick Perlstein chronicles the rise of the conservative movement in the liberal 1960s.

In reviewing his recent collection of essays, The Death of the Banker, The New York Times called the author ""as elegant an architect of monumental histories as we've seen in decades and chose the paperback original as one of the year's Notable Books.","John D. Rockefeller, Sr.--history's first billionaire and the patriarch of America's most famous dynasty--is an icon whose true nature has eluded three generations of historians. Now Ron Chernow, the National Book Award-winning biographer of the Morgan and Warburg banking families, gives us a history of the mogul ""etched with uncommon objectivity and literary grace . . . as detailed, balanced, and psychologically insightful a portrait of the tycoon as we may ever have"" (Kirkus Reviews). Titan is the first full-length biography based on unrestricted access to Rockefeller's exceptionally rich trove of papers. A landmark publication full of startling revelations, the book will indelibly alter our image of this most enigmatic capitalist. Born the son of a flamboyant, bigamous snake-oil salesman and a pious, straitlaced mother, Rockefeller rose from rustic origins to become the world's richest man by creating America's most powerful and feared monopoly, Standard Oil. Branded ""the Octopus"" by legions of muckrakers, the trust refined and marketed nearly 90 percent of the oil produced in America. Rockefeller was likely the most controversial businessman in our nation's history. Critics charged that his empire was built on unscrupulous tactics: grand-scale collusion with the railroads, predatory pricing, industrial espionage, and wholesale bribery of political officials. The titan spent more than thirty years dodging investigations until Teddy Roosevelt and his trustbusters embarked on a marathon crusade to bring Standard Oil to bay. While providing abundant new evidence of Rockefeller's misdeeds, Chernow discards the stereotype of the cold-blooded monster to sketch an unforgettably human portrait of a quirky, eccentric original. A devout Baptist and temperance advocate, Rockefeller gave money more generously--his chosen philanthropies included the Rockefeller Foundation, the University of Chicago, and what is today Rockefeller University--than anyone before him. Titan presents a finely nuanced portrait of a fascinating, complex man, synthesizing his public and private lives and disclosing numerous family scandals, tragedies, and misfortunes that have never before come to light. John D. Rockefeller's story captures a pivotal moment in American history, documenting the dramatic post-Civil War shift from small business to the rise of giant corporations that irrevocably transformed the nation. With cameos by Joseph Pulitzer, William Randolph Hearst, Jay Gould, William Vanderbilt, Ida Tarbell, Andrew Carnegie, Carl Jung, J. Pierpont Morgan, William James, Henry Clay Frick, Mark Twain, and Will Rogers, Titan turns Rockefeller's life into a vivid tapestry of American society in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

A man on the curb handed him an envelope whose contents stunned U.S. intelligence: details of top-secret Soviet research and developments in military technology that were totally unknown to the United States. In the years that followed, the man, Adolf Tolkachev, an engineer in a Soviet military design bureau, used his high-level access to hand over tens of thousands of pages of technical secrets. His revelations allowed America to reshape its weapons systems to defeat Soviet radar on the ground and in the air, giving the United States near total superiority in the skies over Europe. One of the most valuable spies to work for the United States in the four decades of global confrontation with the Soviet Union, Tolkachev took enormous personal risks—but so did the Americans. The CIA had long struggled to recruit and run agents in Moscow, and Tolkachev was a singular breakthrough. Using spy cameras and secret codes as well as face-to-face meetings in parks and on street corners, Tolkachev and his handlers succeeded for years in eluding the feared KGB in its own backyard, until the day came when a shocking betrayal put them all at risk. Drawing on previously secret documents obtained from the CIA and on interviews with participants, David Hoffman has created an unprecedented and poignant portrait of Tolkachev, a man motivated by the depredations of the Soviet state to master the craft of spying against his own country.

Rowling, the author of the Harry Potter series and The Casual Vacancy. Rowling was born to Peter James Rowling, a Rolls-Royce aircraft engineer, and Anne Rowling (née Volant), on 31 July 1965 in Yate, Gloucestershire, England, 10 miles (16 km) northeast of Bristol. Her mother Anne was half-French and half-Scottish. Her parents first met on a train departing from King's Cross Station bound for Arbroath in 1964. They married on 14 March 1965. Her mother's maternal grandfather, Dugald Campbell, was born in Lamlash on the Isle of Arran. Her mother's paternal grandfather, Louis Volant, was awarded the Croix de Guerre for exceptional bravery in defending the village of Courcelles-le-Comte during the First World War. Rowling's sister Dianne was born at their home when Rowling was 23 months old. The family moved to the nearby village Winterbourne when Rowling was four. She attended St Michael's Primary School, a school founded by abolitionist William Wilberforce and education reformer Hannah More. Her headmaster at St Michael's, Alfred Dunn, has been suggested as the inspiration for the Harry Potter headmaster Albus Dumbledore. As a child, Rowling often wrote fantasy stories, which she would usually then read to her sister. She recalls that: ""I can still remember me telling her a story in which she fell down a rabbit hole and was fed strawberries by the rabbit family inside it. Certainly the first story I ever wrote down (when I was five or six) was about a rabbit called Rabbit. He got the measles and was visited by his friends, including a giant bee called Miss Bee."" At the age of nine, Rowling moved to Church Cottage in the Gloucestershire village of Tutshill, close to Chepstow, Wales. When she was a young teenager, her great aunt, who Rowling said ""taught classics and approved of a thirst for knowledge, even of a questionable kind,"" gave her a very old copy of Jessica Mitford's autobiography, Hons and Rebels. Mitford became Rowling's heroine, and Rowling subsequently read all of her books. Rowling has said of her teenage years, in an interview with The New Yorker, ""I wasn’t particularly happy. I think it’s a dreadful time of life."" She had a difficult homelife; her mother was ill and she had a difficult relationship with her father (she is no longer on speaking terms with him). She attended secondary school at Wyedean School and College, where her mother had worked as a technician in the science department. Rowling said of her adolescence, ""Hermione [a bookish, know-it-all Harry Potter character] is loosely based on me. She's a caricature of me when I was eleven, which I'm not particularly proud of."" Steve Eddy, who taught Rowling English when she first arrived, remembers her as ""not exceptional"" but ""one of a group of girls who were bright, and quite good at English."" Sean Harris, her best friend in the Upper Sixth owned a turquoise Ford Anglia, which she says inspired the one in her books.","When a mysterious package is delivered to Robin Ellacott, she is horrified to discover that it contains a woman's severed leg.

England, the 1520s. Henry VIII is on the throne, but has no heir. Cardinal Wolsey is his chief advisor, charged with securing the divorce the pope refuses to grant. Into this atmosphere of distrust and need comes Thomas Cromwell, first as Wolsey's clerk, and later his successor. Cromwell is a wholly original man: the son of a brutal blacksmith, a political genius, a briber, a charmer, a bully, a man with a delicate and deadly expertise in manipulating people and events. Ruthless in pursuit of his own interests, he is as ambitious in his wider politics as he is for himself. His reforming agenda is carried out in the grip of a self-interested parliament and a king who fluctuates between romantic passions and murderous rages.

Bayes' rule appears to be a straightforward, one-line theorem: by updating our initial beliefs with objective new information, we get a new and improved belief. To its adherents, it is an elegant statement about learning from experience. To its opponents, it is subjectivity run amok. In the first-ever account of Bayes' rule for general readers, Sharon Bertsch McGrayne explores this controversial theorem and the human obsessions surrounding it.

She reveals why respected statisticians rendered it professionally taboo for 150 years - at the same time that practitioners relied on it to solve crises involving great uncertainty and scanty information, even breaking Germany's Enigma code during World War II, and explains how the advent of off-the-shelf computer technology in the 1980s proved to be a game-changer.

Vintage Atwood creativity, intelligence, and humor: think Alias Grace. Margaret Atwood turns to short fiction for the first time since her 2006 collection, Moral Disorder, with nine tales of acute psychological insight and turbulent relationships bringing to mind her award-winning 1996 novel, Alias Grace. A recently widowed fantasy writer is guided through a stormy winter evening by the voice of her late husband in ""Alphinland,"" the first of three loosely linked stories about the romantic geometries of a group of writers and artists. In ""The Freeze-Dried Bridegroom,"" a man who bids on an auctioned storage space has a surprise. In ""Lusus Naturae,"" a woman born with a genetic abnormality is mistaken for a vampire.

Amazon.com Review An Amazon Best Book of the Month, September 2014: “Stop trying to pimp me out to all these groupies,” a famous author and infamous cad utters in “Revenant,” one of three cleverly interconnected tales that begin Margaret Atwood’s superbly sardonic Stone Mattress. He is referring to an impending visit from an infatuated graduate student who is supposedly writing a thesis about his sonnets…which aren’t really sonnets (long story). Naveena—her name, he derisively but accurately points out, “sounds like cheese food slices. Or better—like a hair-removal cream”—is insufferable enough to be sure. The depiction makes yours truly nervous to be writing this review, but it’s all part of the fun, and these tales are fun, which is odd considering the sinister current that runs through many of them. But it’s as if the reader is privy to some sort of inside joke. This is especially evident in “The Dead Hand Loves You,” when Atwood playfully skewers the horror genre then gleefully indulges in it, and the ominously tongue-in-cheek “Torching the Dusties.” Fans of Margaret Atwood will certainly delight in this collection. But beware, the Stone Mattress will make groupies of old and new readers alike. –Erin Kodicek Review ""Witty and frequently biting ... this book’s stories offer characters a chance to put their own understandings of gallantry, courage and revenge to the test, in ways both mundane and extraordinary."" —The New York Times Book Review ""In Stone Mattress [Atwood is] having a high old time dancing over the dark swamps of Horror on the wings of satirical wit ...

Born into a minor noble family, Catherine transformed herself into Empress of Russia by sheer determination. Possessing a brilliant mind and an insatiable curiosity as a young woman, she devoured the works of Enlightenment philosophers and, when she reached the throne, attempted to use their principles to guide her rule of the vast and backward Russian empire. She knew or corresponded with the preeminent historical figures of her time: Voltaire, Diderot, Frederick the Great, Empress Maria Theresa of Austria, Marie Antoinette, and, surprisingly, the American naval hero, John Paul Jones. Reaching the throne fired by Enlightenment philosophy and determined to become the embodiment of the “benevolent despot” idealized by Montesquieu, she found herself always contending with the deeply ingrained realities of Russian life, including serfdom. She persevered, and for thirty-four years the government, foreign policy, cultural development, and welfare of the Russian people were in her hands. She dealt with domestic rebellion, foreign wars, and the tidal wave of political change and violence churned up by the French Revolution that swept across Europe. Her reputation depended entirely on the perspective of the speaker. She was praised by Voltaire as the equal of the greatest of classical philosophers; she was condemned by her enemies, mostly foreign, as “the Messalina of the north.” Catherine’s family, friends, ministers, generals, lovers, and enemies—all are here, vividly described. These included her ambitious, perpetually scheming mother; her weak, bullying husband, Peter (who left her lying untouched beside him for nine years after their marriage); her unhappy son and heir, Paul; her beloved grandchildren; and her “favorites”—the parade of young men from whom she sought companionship and the recapture of youth as well as sex. Here, too, is the giant figure of Gregory Potemkin, her most significant lover and possible husband, with whom she shared a passionate correspondence of love and separation, followed by seventeen years of unparalleled mutual achievement. The story is superbly told. All the special qualities that Robert K. Massie brought to Nicholas and Alexandra and Peter the Great are present here: historical accuracy, depth of understanding, felicity of style, mastery of detail, ability to shatter myth, and a rare genius for finding and expressing the human drama in extraordinary lives.

It is sure to be a literary event. Toru, a quiet and preternaturally serious young college student in Tokyo, is devoted to Naoko, a beautiful and introspective young woman, but their mutual passion is marked by the tragic death of their best friend years before. Toru begins to adapt to campus life and the loneliness and isolation he faces there, but Naoko finds the pressures and responsibilities of life unbearable. As she retreats further into her own world, Toru finds himself reaching out to others and drawn to a fiercely independent and sexually liberated young woman. A poignant story of one college student's romantic coming-of-age, Norwegian Wood takes us to that distant place of a young man's first, hopeless, and heroic love. Amazon.co.uk ""I once had a girl, or should I say, she once had me"" ""Norwegian Wood"" (Lennon/McCartney). With Norwegian Wood Murakami, best known as the author of off-kilter classics such as the Wind Up Bird Chronicle, A Wild Sheep Chase and Hard Boiled Wonderland, finally achieved widespread acclaim in his native Japan. The novel sold upwards of 4 million copies and forced the author to retreat to Europe, fearful of the expectations accompanying his new-found cult status. The novel is atypical for Murakami: seemingly autobiographical, in the tradition of many Japanese ""I"" novels, Norwegian Wood is a simple coming of age tale set, primarily, in 1969/70, the time of Murakami's own university years. The political upheavals and student strikes of the period form the backdrop of the novel but the focus here is the young Watanabe's love affairs and the pain (and pleasure) of growing up with all its attendant losses, (self-)obsessions and crises. The novel is split into two volumes and beautifully presented here in a ""gold"" box containing both the green book and the red book. Young Japanese fans became so obsessed with the work that they would dress entirely in one or other colour denoting which volume they most identified with. And the novel is hugely affecting, reading like a cross between Plath's Bell Jar and Vizinczey's In Praise of Older Women, if less complex and ultimately less satisfying than Murakami's other, more allegorical, work. He captures the huge expectation of youth, and of this particular time in history, for the future and for the place of love in it. He also saturates the work with sadness, an emotion that can cripple a novel but which here underscores the poignancy of the work's rather thin subject matter.                              --Mark Thwaite Amazon.com In 1987, when Norwegian Wood was first published in Japan, it promptly sold more than 4 million copies and transformed Haruki Murakami into a pop-culture icon. The horrified author fled his native land for Europe and the United States, returning only in 1995, by which time the celebrity spotlight had found some fresher targets. And now he's finally authorized a translation for the English-speaking audience, turning to the estimable Jay Rubin, who did a fine job with his big-canvas production The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle. Readers of Murakami's later work will discover an affecting if atypical novel, and while the author himself has denied the book's autobiographical import--""If I had simply written the literal truth of my own life, the novel would have been no more than fifteen pages long""--it's hard not to read as at least a partial portrait of the artist as a young man. Norwegian Wood is a simple coming-of-age tale, primarily set in 1969-70, when the author was attending university. The political upheavals and student strikes of the period form the novel's backdrop. But the focus here is the young Watanabe's love affairs, and the pain and pleasure and attendant losses of growing up. The collapse of a romance (and this is one among many!) leaves him in a metaphysical shambles: I read Naoko's letter again and again, and each time I read it I would be filled with the same unbearable sadness I used to feel whenever Naoko stared into my eyes. I had no way to deal with it, no place I could take it to or hide it away. Like the wind passing over my body, it had neither shape nor weight, nor could I wrap myself in it. This account of a young man's sentimental education sometimes reads like a cross between Sylvia Plath's The Bell Jar and Stephen Vizinczey's In Praise of Older Women. It is less complex and perhaps ultimately less satisfying than Murakami's other, more allegorical work. Still, Norwegian Wood captures the huge expectation of youth--and of this particular time in history--for the future and for the place of love in it. It is also a work saturated with sadness, an emotion that can sometimes cripple a novel but which here merely underscores its youthful poignancy.                               --Mark Thwaite From Publishers Weekly In a complete stylistic departure from his mysterious and surreal novels (The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle; A Wild Sheep Chase) that show the influences of Salinger, Fitzgerald and Tom Robbins, Murakami tells a bittersweet coming-of-age story, reminiscent of J.R. Salamanca's classic 1964 novel, LilithAthe tale of a young man's involvement with a schizophrenic girl. A successful, 37-year-old businessman, Toru Watanabe, hears a version of the Beatles' Norwegian Wood, and the music transports him back 18 years to his college days. His best friend, Kizuki, inexplicably commits suicide, after which Toru becomes first enamored, then involved with Kizuki's girlfriend, Naoko. But Naoko is a very troubled young woman; her brilliant older sister has also committed suicide, and though sweet and desperate for happiness, she often becomes untethered. She eventually enters a convalescent home for disturbed people, and when Toru visits her, he meets her roommate, an older musician named Reiko, who's had a long history of mental instability. The three become fast friends. Toru makes a commitment to Naoko, but back at college he encounters Midori, a vibrant, outgoing young woman. As he falls in love with her, Toru realizes he cannot continue his relationship with Naoko, whose sanity is fast deteriorating.

He lives in Brooklyn, New York.","""Nate Silver's The Signal and the Noise is The Soul of a New Machine for the 21st century."" —Rachel Maddow, author of Drift Nate Silver built an innovative system for predicting baseball performance, predicted the 2008 election within a hair’s breadth, and became a national sensation as a blogger—all by the time he was thirty. The New York Times now publishes FiveThirtyEight.com, where Silver is one of the nation’s most influential political forecasters. Drawing on his own groundbreaking work, Silver examines the world of prediction, investigating how we can distinguish a true signal from a universe of noisy data. Most predictions fail, often at great cost to society, because most of us have a poor understanding of probability and uncertainty. Both experts and laypeople mistake more confident predictions for more accurate ones. But overconfidence is often the reason for failure. If our appreciation of uncertainty improves, our predictions can get better too. This is the “prediction paradox”: The more humility we have about our ability to make predictions, the more successful we can be in planning for the future. In keeping with his own aim to seek truth from data, Silver visits the most successful forecasters in a range of areas, from hurricanes to baseball, from the poker table to the stock market, from Capitol Hill to the NBA. He explains and evaluates how these forecasters think and what bonds they share. What lies behind their success? Are they good—or just lucky? What patterns have they unraveled? And are their forecasts really right? He explores unanticipated commonalities and exposes unexpected juxtapositions. And sometimes, it is not so much how good a prediction is in an absolute sense that matters but how good it is relative to the competition. In other cases, prediction is still a very rudimentary—and dangerous—science. Silver observes that the most accurate forecasters tend to have a superior command of probability, and they tend to be both humble and hardworking. They distinguish the predictable from the unpredictable, and they notice a thousand little details that lead them closer to the truth. Because of their appreciation of probability, they can distinguish the signal from the noise. With everything from the health of the global economy to our ability to fight terrorism dependent on the quality of our predictions, Nate Silver’s insights are an essential read.",USD 27.95,9781594204111,159420411X read,2014-11-26T01:11:56Z,19,8.5,Haruki Murakami,Paperback,384,Vintage,"Blind Willow, Sleeping Woman",https://book.douban.com/subject/2719380/,,"From the bestselling author of Kafka on the Shore and The Wind-up Bird Chronicles comes this superb collection of twenty-four stories that generously expresses Murakami’s mastery of the form.From the surreal to the mundane, these stories exhibit his ability to transform the full range of human experience in ways that are instructive, surprising, and relentlessly entertaining.

In revealing how Moses did it--how he developed his public authorities into a political machine that was virtually a fourth branch of government, one that could bring to their knees Governors and Mayors (from La Guardia to Lindsay) by mobilizing banks, contractors, labor unions, insurance firms, even the press and the Church, into an irresistible economic force--Robert Caro reveals how power works in all the cities of the United States. Moses built an empire and lived like an emperor. He personally conceived and completed public works costing 27 billion dollars--the greatest builder America (and probably the world) has ever known. Without ever having been elected to office, he dominated the men who were--even his most bitter enemy, Franklin D. Roosevelt, could not control him--until he finally encountered, in Nelson Rockefeller, the only man whose power (and ruthlessness in wielding it) equalled his own.",USD 25.00,9780394720241,0394720245 reading,2014-10-25T04:12:15Z,121,8.7,Anand Rajaraman; Jeffrey David Ullman,Hardcover,326,Cambridge University Press,Mining of Massive Datasets,https://book.douban.com/subject/6853651/,,"The popularity of the Web and Internet commerce provides many extremely large datasets from which information can be gleaned by data mining.

Although they are often labeled ""quiet,"" it is to introverts that we owe many of the great contributions to society--from van Gogh’s sunflowers to the invention of the personal computer. Passionately argued, impressively researched, and filled with indelible stories of real people, Quiet shows how dramatically we undervalue introverts, and how much we lose in doing so.

With access to newly discovered primary sources from archives in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Russia and India—including a series of previously untranslated Afghan epic poems and biographies—the author gives us the most immediate and comprehensive account yet of the spectacular first battle for Afghanistan: the British invasion of the remote kingdom in 1839. Led by lancers in scarlet cloaks and plumed helmets, and facing little resistance, nearly 20,000 British and East India Company troops poured through the mountain passes from India into Afghanistan in order to reestablish Shah Shuja ul-Mulk on the throne, and as their puppet. But after little more than two years, the Afghans rose in answer to the call for jihad and the country exploded into rebellion. This First Anglo-Afghan War ended with an entire army of what was then the most powerful military nation in the world ambushed and destroyed in snowbound mountain passes by simply equipped Afghan tribesmen. Only one British man made it through. But Dalrymple takes us beyond the bare outline of this infamous battle, and with penetrating, balanced insight illuminates the uncanny similarities between the West’s first disastrous entanglement with Afghanistan and the situation today. He delineates the straightforward facts: Shah Shuja and President Hamid Karzai share the same tribal heritage; the Shah’s principal opponents were the Ghilzai tribe, who today make up the bulk of the Taliban’s foot soldiers; the same cities garrisoned by the British are today garrisoned by foreign troops, attacked from the same rings of hills and high passes from which the British faced attack. Dalryrmple also makes clear the byzantine complexity of Afghanistan’s age-old tribal rivalries, the stranglehold they have on the politics of the nation and the ways in which they ensnared both the British in the nineteenth century and NATO forces in the twenty-first.

A Blaze of Glory takes us to the action-packed Western Theater for a vivid re-creation of one of the war’s bloodiest and most iconic engagements—the Battle of Shiloh. It’s the spring of 1862. The Confederate Army in the West teeters on the brink of collapse following the catastrophic loss of Fort Donelson. Commanding general Albert Sidney Johnston is forced to pull up stakes, abandon the critical city of Nashville, and rally his troops in defense of the Memphis and Charleston Railroad. Hot on Johnston’s trail are two of the Union’s best generals: the relentless Ulysses Grant, fresh off his career-making victory at Fort Donelson, and Don Carlos Buell. If their combined forces can crush Johnston’s army and capture the railroad, the war in the West likely will be over. There’s just one problem: Johnston knows of the Union plans, and is poised to launch an audacious surprise attack on Grant’s encampment—a small settlement in southwestern Tennessee anchored by a humble church named Shiloh. With stunning you-are-there immediacy, Shaara takes us inside the maelstrom of Shiloh as no novelist has before. Drawing on meticulous research, he dramatizes the key actions and decisions of the commanders on both sides: Johnston, Grant, Sherman, Beauregard, and the illustrious Colonel Nathan Bedford Forrest. Here too are the thoughts and voices of the junior officers, conscripts, and enlisted men who gave their all for the cause, among them Confederate cavalry lieutenant James Seeley and Private Fritz “Dutchie” Bauer of the 16th Wisconsin Regiment—brave participants in a pitched back-and-forth battle whose casualty count would far surpass anything the American public had yet seen in this war.

Book Four of Robert A. Caro’s monumental The Years of Lyndon Johnson displays all the narrative energy and illuminating insight that led the Times of London to acclaim it as “one of the truly great political biographies of the modern age. A masterpiece.” The Passage of Power follows Lyndon Johnson through both the most frustrating and the most triumphant periods of his career—1958 to1964. It is a time that would see him trade the extraordinary power he had created for himself as Senate Majority Leader for what became the wretched powerlessness of a Vice President in an administration that disdained and distrusted him. Yet it was, as well, the time in which the presidency, the goal he had always pursued, would be thrust upon him in the moment it took an assassin’s bullet to reach its mark. By 1958, as Johnson began to maneuver for the presidency, he was known as one of the most brilliant politicians of his time, the greatest Senate Leader in our history. But the 1960 nomination would go to the young senator from Massachusetts, John F. Kennedy. Caro gives us an unparalleled account of the machinations behind both the nomination and Kennedy’s decision to offer Johnson the vice presidency, revealing the extent of Robert Kennedy’s efforts to force Johnson off the ticket. With the consummate skill of a master storyteller, he exposes the savage animosity between Johnson and Kennedy’s younger brother, portraying one of America’s great political feuds. Yet Robert Kennedy’s overt contempt for Johnson was only part of the burden of humiliation and isolation he bore as Vice President. With a singular understanding of Johnson’s heart and mind, Caro describes what it was like for this mighty politician to find himself altogether powerless in a world in which power is the crucial commodity. For the first time, in Caro’s breathtakingly vivid narrative, we see the Kennedy assassination through Lyndon Johnson’s eyes. We watch Johnson step into the presidency, inheriting a staff fiercely loyal to his slain predecessor; a Congress determined to retain its power over the executive branch; and a nation in shock and mourning. We see how within weeks—grasping the reins of the presidency with supreme mastery—he propels through Congress essential legislation that at the time of Kennedy’s death seemed hopelessly logjammed and seizes on a dormant Kennedy program to create the revolutionary War on Poverty. Caro makes clear how the political genius with which Johnson had ruled the Senate now enabled him to make the presidency wholly his own. This was without doubt Johnson’s finest hour, before his aspirations and accomplishments were overshadowed and eroded by the trap of Vietnam. In its exploration of this pivotal period in Johnson’s life—and in the life of the nation— The Passage of Power is not only the story of how he surmounted unprecedented obstacles in order to fulfill the highest purpose of the presidency but is, as well, a revelation of both the pragmatic potential in the presidency and what can be accomplished when the chief executive has the vision and determination to move beyond the pragmatic and initiate programs designed to transform a nation. It is an epic story told with a depth of detail possible only through the peerless research that forms the foundation of Robert Caro’s work, confirming Nicholas von Hoffman’s verdict that “Caro has changed the art of political biography.”",USD 35.00,9780679405078,0679405070 read,2014-05-11T11:45:42Z,276,8.1,Haruki Murakami,Hardcover,944,Knopf,1Q84,https://book.douban.com/subject/6073632/,,"“Murakami is like a magician who explains what he’s doing as he performs the trick and still makes you believe he has supernatural powers . . . But while anyone can tell a story that resembles a dream, it's the rare artist, like this one, who can make us feel that we are dreaming it ourselves.” — The New York Times Book Review The year is 1984 and the city is Tokyo. A young woman named Aomame follows a taxi driver’s enigmatic suggestion and begins to notice puzzling discrepancies in the world around her. She has entered, she realizes, a parallel existence, which she calls 1Q84 —“Q is for ‘question mark.’ A world that bears a question.” Meanwhile, an aspiring writer named Tengo takes on a suspect ghostwriting project. He becomes so wrapped up with the work and its unusual author that, soon, his previously placid life begins to come unraveled. As Aomame’s and Tengo’s narratives converge over the course of this single year, we learn of the profound and tangled connections that bind them ever closer: a beautiful, dyslexic teenage girl with a unique vision; a mysterious religious cult that instigated a shoot-out with the metropolitan police; a reclusive, wealthy dowager who runs a shelter for abused women; a hideously ugly private investigator; a mild-mannered yet ruthlessly efficient bodyguard; and a peculiarly insistent television-fee collector. A love story, a mystery, a fantasy, a novel of self-discovery, a dystopia to rival George Orwell’s— 1Q84 is Haruki Murakami’s most ambitious undertaking yet: an instant best seller in his native Japan, and a tremendous feat of imagination from one of our most revered contemporary writers.",USD 35.00,9780307593313,0307593312 read,2014-05-07T19:14:53Z,12,9.8,Robert A.

Master of the Senate takes Johnson’s story through one of its most remarkable periods: his twelve years, from 1949 through 1960, in the United States Senate. Once the most august and revered body in politics, by the time Johnson arrived the Senate had become a parody of itself and an obstacle that for decades had blocked desperately needed liberal legislation. Caro shows how Johnson’s brilliance, charm, and ruthlessness enabled him to become the youngest and most powerful Majority Leader in history and how he used his incomparable legislative genius--seducing both Northern liberals and Southern conservatives--to pass the first Civil Rights legislation since Reconstruction. Brilliantly weaving rich detail into a gripping narrative, Caro gives us both a galvanizing portrait of Johnson himself and a definitive and revelatory study of the workings of legislative power.",USD 22.00,9780394720951,0394720954 read,2014-04-21T23:33:14Z,745,8.8,Jared M.

Frankl is among the most influential works of psychiatric literature since Freud. The book begins with a lengthy, austere, and deeply moving personal essay about Frankl's imprisonment in Auschwitz and other concentration camps for five years, and his struggle during this time to find reasons to live. The second part of the book, called ""Logotherapy in a Nutshell,"" describes the psychotherapeutic method that Frankl pioneered as a result of his experiences in the concentration camps. Freud believed that sexual instincts and urges were the driving force of humanity's life; Frankl, by contrast, believes that man's deepest desire is to search for meaning and purpose. Frankl's logotherapy, therefore, is much more compatible with Western religions than Freudian psychotherapy. This is a fascinating, sophisticated, and very human book. At times, Frankl's personal and professional discourses merge into a style of tremendous power. ""Our generation is realistic, for we have come to know man as he really is,"" Frankl writes. ""After all, man is that being who invented the gas chambers of Auschwitz; however, he is also that being who entered those gas chambers upright, with the Lord's Prayer or the Shema Yisrael on his lips."" --This text refers to the Mass Market Paperback edition.

Ulysses Grant rose from obscurity to discover he had a genius for battle, and he propelled the Union to victory in the Civil War. After Abraham Lincoln's assassination and the disastrous brief presidency of Andrew Johnson, America turned to Grant again to unite the country, this time as president. In Brands's sweeping, majestic full biography, Grant emerges as a heroic figure who was fearlessly on the side of right.

He worked valiantly to protect the rights of freedmen in the South; Brands calls him the last presidential defender of black civil rights for nearly a century. He played it straight with the American Indians, allowing them to shape their own fate even as the realities of Manifest Destiny meant the end of their way of life. He was an enormously popular president whose memoirs were a huge bestseller; yet within decades of his death his reputation was in tatters, the victim of Southerners who resented his policies on Reconstruction.

Thomas Jefferson: The Art of Power gives us Jefferson the politician and president, a great and complex human being forever engaged in the wars of his era. Philosophers think; politicians maneuver. Jefferson’s genius was that he was both and could do both, often simultaneously. Such is the art of power. Thomas Jefferson hated confrontation, and yet his understanding of power and of human nature enabled him to move men and to marshal ideas, to learn from his mistakes, and to prevail. Passionate about many things—women, his family, books, science, architecture, gardens, friends, Monticello, and Paris—Jefferson loved America most, and he strove over and over again, despite fierce opposition, to realize his vision: the creation, survival, and success of popular government in America. Jon Meacham lets us see Jefferson’s world as Jefferson himself saw it, and to appreciate how Jefferson found the means to endure and win in the face of rife partisan division, economic uncertainty, and external threat. Drawing on archives in the United States, England, and France, as well as unpublished Jefferson presidential papers, Meacham presents Jefferson as the most successful political leader of the early republic, and perhaps in all of American history. The father of the ideal of individual liberty, of the Louisiana Purchase, of the Lewis and Clark expedition, and of the settling of the West, Jefferson recognized that the genius of humanity—and the genius of the new nation—lay in the possibility of progress, of discovering the undiscovered and seeking the unknown. From the writing of the Declaration of Independence to elegant dinners in Paris and in the President’s House; from political maneuverings in the boardinghouses and legislative halls of Philadelphia and New York to the infant capital on the Potomac; from his complicated life at Monticello, his breathtaking house and plantation in Virginia, to the creation of the University of Virginia, Jefferson was central to the age. Here too is the personal Jefferson, a man of appetite, sensuality, and passion. The Jefferson story resonates today not least because he led his nation through ferocious partisanship and cultural warfare amid economic change and external threats, and also because he embodies an eternal drama, the struggle of the leadership of a nation to achieve greatness in a difficult and confounding world.",USD 35.00,9780307990877,0307990877 read,2013-11-02T09:04:17Z,2,0.0,Robert Graves,Paperback,448,Penguin Classics,Count Belisarius,https://book.douban.com/subject/3547757/,,"在线阅读本书 The sixth century was not a peaceful time for the Roman empire.

This leads to graphics that lack context and provide little value. Visualize This teaches you a data-first approach. Explore what your data has to say first, and you can design graphics that mean something. Visualization and data design all come easier with practice, and you can advance your skills with every new dataset and project. To begin though, you need a proper foundation and know what tools are available to you (but not let them bog you down). I wrote Visualize This with that in mind. You'll be exposed to a variety of software and code and jump right into real-world datasets so that you can learn visualization by doing, and most importantly be able to apply what you learn to your own data. Three Data Visualization Steps: 1) Ask a Question (Click Graphic to See Larger Version) When you get a dataset, it sometimes is a challenge figuring out where to start, especially when it's a large dataset. Approach your data with a simple curiosity or a question that you want answered, and go from there. 2) Explore Your Data (Click Graphic to See Larger Version) A simple curiosity often leads to more questions, which are a good guide for what stories to dig into. What variables are related to each other? Can you see changes over time? Are there any features in the data that stand out? Find out all you can about your data, because the more you know what's behind the numbers, the better story you can tell. 3) Visualize Your Data (Click Graphic to See Larger Version) Once you know the important parts of your data, you can design graphics the best way you see fit.

Like his masterly, Pulitzer Prize-winning biography Truman, David McCullough's John Adams has the sweep and vitality of a great novel. It is both a riveting portrait of an abundantly human man and a vivid evocation of his time, much of it drawn from an outstanding collection of Adams family letters and diaries. In particular, the more than one thousand surviving letters between John and Abigail Adams, nearly half of which have never been published, provide extraordinary access to their private lives and make it possible to know John Adams as no other major American of his founding era. As he has with stunning effect in his previous books, McCullough tells the story from within -- from the point of view of the amazing eighteenth century and of those who, caught up in events, had no sure way of knowing how things would turn out. George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, John Jay, the British spy Edward Bancroft, Madame Lafayette and Jefferson's Paris ""interest"" Maria Cosway, Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, the scandalmonger James Callender, Sally Hemings, John Marshall, Talleyrand, and Aaron Burr all figure in this panoramic chronicle, as does, importantly, John Quincy Adams, the adored son whom Adams would live to see become President. Crucial to the story, as it was to history, is the relationship between Adams and Jefferson, born opposites -- one a Massachusetts farmer's son, the other a Virginia aristocrat and slaveholder, one short and stout, the other tall and spare. Adams embraced conflict; Jefferson avoided it. Adams had great humor; Jefferson, very little. But they were alike in their devotion to their country. At first they were ardent co-revolutionaries, then fellow diplomats and close friends. With the advent of the two political parties, they became archrivals, even enemies, in the intense struggle for the presidency in 1800, perhaps the most vicious election in history. Then, amazingly, they became friends again, and ultimately, incredibly, they died on the same day -- their day of days -- July 4, in the year 1826. Much about John Adams's life will come as a surprise to many readers. His courageous voyage on the frigate Boston in the winter of 1778 and his later trek over the Pyrenees are exploits that few would have dared and that few readers will ever forget. It is a life encompassing a huge arc -- Adams lived longer than any president. The story ranges from the Boston Massacre to Philadelphia in 1776 to the Versailles of Louis XVI, from Spain to Amsterdam, from the Court of St. James's, where Adams was the first American to stand before King George III as a representative of the new nation, to the raw, half-finished Capital by the Potomac, where Adams was the first President to occupy the White House. This is history on a grand scale -- a book about politics and war and social issues, but also about human nature, love, religious faith, virtue, ambition, friendship and betrayal, and the far-reaching consequences of noble ideas. Above all, John Adams is an enthralling, often surprising story of one of the most important and fascinating Americans who ever lived. Amazon.com Review Left to his own devices, John Adams might have lived out his days as a Massachusetts country lawyer, devoted to his family and friends. As it was, events swiftly overtook him, and Adams--who, David McCullough writes, was ""not a man of the world"" and not fond of politics--came to greatness as the second president of the United States, and one of the most distinguished of a generation of revolutionary leaders. He found reason to dislike sectarian wrangling even more in the aftermath of war, when Federalist and anti-Federalist factions vied bitterly for power, introducing scandal into an administration beset by other difficulties--including pirates on the high seas, conflict with France and England, and all the public controversy attendant in building a nation. Overshadowed by the lustrous presidents Washington and Jefferson, who bracketed his tenure in office, Adams emerges from McCullough's brilliant biography as a truly heroic figure--not only for his significant role in the American Revolution but also for maintaining his personal integrity in its strife-filled aftermath. McCullough spends much of his narrative examining the troubled friendship between Adams and Jefferson, who had in common a love for books and ideas but differed on almost every other imaginable point. Reading his pages, it is easy to imagine the two as alter egos. (Strangely, both died on the same day, the 50th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence.) But McCullough also considers Adams in his own light, and the portrait that emerges is altogether fascinating. --Gregory McNamee From Publishers Weekly Here a preeminent master of narrative history takes on the most fascinating of our founders to create a benchmark for all Adams biographers. With a keen eye for telling detail and a master storyteller's instinct for human interest, McCullough (Truman; Mornings on Horseback) resurrects the great Federalist (1735-1826), revealing in particular his restrained, sometimes off-putting disposition, as well as his political guile. The events McCullough recounts are well-known, but with his astute marshaling of facts, the author surpasses previous biographers in depicting Adams's years at Harvard, his early public life in Boston and his role in the first Continental Congress, where he helped shape the philosophical basis for the Revolution. McCullough also makes vivid Adams's actions in the second Congress, during which he was the first to propose George Washington to command the new Continental Army. Later on, we see Adams bickering with Tom Paine's plan for government as suggested in Common Sense, helping push through the draft for the Declaration of Independence penned by his longtime friend and frequent rival, Thomas Jefferson, and serving as commissioner to France and envoy to the Court of St. James's. The author is likewise brilliant in portraying Adams's complex relationship with Jefferson, who ousted him from the White House in 1800 and with whom he would share a remarkable death date 26 years later: July 4, 1826, 50 years to the day after the signing of the Declaration.

In this volume, we witness the war within, before the colossal war to come. During this period, Churchill was tested as few men are: relentlessly pursued by creditors, disowned by his own party, vociferously dismissed by the press as a warmonger, and twice nearly lost his seat in Parliament. Yet despite his personal and political troubles, Churchill managed to assemble a vast, underground intelligence network-both within the British government and on the continent-which provided him with more complete and accurate information on Germany than the British government. Recognizing the horrifying truth, Churchill stood almost alone against Nazi aggression and the sordid British and French policy of appeasement.

Gaiman tackles everything from the onslaught of the information age to the meaning of death, but he doesn't sacrifice the razor-sharp plotting and narrative style he's been delivering since his Sandman days. Shadow gets out of prison early when his wife is killed in a car crash. At a loss, he takes up with a mysterious character called Wednesday, who is much more than he appears. In fact, Wednesday is an old god, once known as Odin the All-father, who is roaming America rounding up his forgotten fellows in preparation for an epic battle against the upstart deities of the Internet, credit cards, television, and all that is wired. Shadow agrees to help Wednesday, and they whirl through a psycho-spiritual storm that becomes all too real in its manifestations. For instance, Shadow's dead wife Laura keeps showing up, and not just as a ghost--the difficulty of their continuing relationship is by turns grim and darkly funny, just like the rest of the book. Armed only with some coin tricks and a sense of purpose, Shadow travels through, around, and underneath the visible surface of things, digging up all the powerful myths Americans brought with them in their journeys to this land as well as the ones that were already here. Shadow's road story is the heart of the novel, and it's here that Gaiman offers up the details that make this such a cinematic book--the distinctly American foods and diversions, the bizarre roadside attractions, the decrepit gods reduced to shell games and prostitution. ""This is a bad land for Gods,"" says Shadow. More than a tourist in America, but not a native, Neil Gaiman offers an outside-in and inside-out perspective on the soul and spirituality of the country--our obsessions with money and power, our jumbled religious heritage and its societal outcomes, and the millennial decisions we face about what's real and what's not. --Therese Littleton, Amazon.com",26.99美元,9780380973651,0380973650 reading,2013-04-27T00:58:47Z,6,0.0,Robin Williams,Paperback,168,Peachpit Press,The Non-Designer's Presentation Book,https://book.douban.com/subject/4136356/,,"These days, it's not just corporate marketing directors tasked with giving computer-based presentations-anyone forced to stand in front of a crowd and talk for more than three minutes had better know how to put together a slide presentation.

Kushner and a new Biographical Afterword by William J. Winslade Psychiatrist Viktor Frankl's memoir has riveted generations of readers with its descriptions of life in Nazi death camps and its lessons for spiritual survival. Between 1942 and 1945 Frankl labored in four different camps, including Auschwitz, while his parents, brother, and pregnant wife perished. Based on his own experience and the experiences of others he treated later in his practice, Frankl argues that we cannot avoid suffering but we can choose how to cope with it, find meaning in it, and move forward with renewed purpose. Frankl's theory-known as logotherapy, from the Greek word logos (""meaning"")-holds that our primary drive in life is not pleasure, as Freud maintained, but the discovery and pursuit of what we personally find meaningful. At the time of Frankl's death in 1997, Man's Search for Meaning had sold more than 10 million copies in twenty-four languages.

Chernow makes familiar scenes fresh (like the crossing of the Delaware) and expertly brings the provisional revolutionary and early Republican eras to life.

Mukherjee's debut book is a sweeping epic of obsession, brilliant researchers, dramatic new treatments, euphoric success and tragic failure, and the relentless battle by scientists and patients alike against an equally relentless, wily, and elusive enemy. From the first chemotherapy developed from textile dyes to the possibilities emerging from our understanding of cancer cells, Mukherjee shapes a massive amount of history into a coherent story with a roller-coaster trajectory: the discovery of a new treatment--surgery, radiation, chemotherapy--followed by the notion that if a little is good, more must be better, ending in disfiguring radical mastectomy and multidrug chemo so toxic the treatment ended up being almost worse than the disease. The first part of the book is driven by the obsession of Sidney Farber and philanthropist Mary Lasker to find a unitary cure for all cancers. (Farber developed the first successful chemotherapy for childhood leukemia.) The last and most exciting part is driven by the race of brilliant, maverick scientists to understand how cells become cancerous. Each new discovery was small, but as Mukherjee, a Columbia professor of medicine, writes, ""Incremental advances can add up to transformative changes."" Mukherjee's formidable intelligence and compassion produce a stunning account of the effort to disrobe the ""emperor of maladies."" (Nov.)

Gombrich,Paperback,688,Phaidon Press,The Story of Art,https://book.douban.com/subject/1400833/,"Sir Ernst Hans Josef Gombrich, OM, CBE (30 March 1909 – 3 November 2001) was an Austrian-born art historian who became a naturalized British citizen in 1947.[1] He spent most of his working life in the United Kingdom. He is the author of many works of cultural history and art history, including The Story of Art, a book widely regarded as one of the most accessible introductions to the visual arts. BiographyThe son of Karl Gombrich and Leonie Hock, Gombrich was born in Vienna, Austria-Hungary, into an assimilated bourgeois family of Jewish origin who were part of a sophisticated social and musical milieu. His father was a lawyer and former classmate of Hugo von Hofmannsthal and his mother was distinguished pianist who graduated from the Vienna Conservatoire with the School's Medal of Distinction. At the Conservatoire she was a pupil of, amongst others, Anton Bruckner. However, rather than follow a career as a concert pianist (which would have been difficult to combine with her family life in this period) she became an assistant of Theodor Leschetizky. She also knew Arnold Schoenberg, Gustav Mahler, Hugo Wolf and Johannes Brahms [3]. Rudolf Serkin was a close family friend. Adolf Busch and members of the Busch Quartet regularly met and played in the family home. Throughout his life Gombrich maintained a deep love and knowledge of classical music. He was a competent cellist and in later life at home in London regularly played the chamber music of Haydn, Mozart, Schubert, Beethoven and others with his wife and elder sister Dea Forsdyke, a concert violinist. Gombrich was educated at Theresianum Secondary School and at Vienna University before coming to Britain in 1936, where he took up a post as a research assistant at the Warburg Institute, University of London. In 1936, he married Ilse Heller, a pupil of his mother, and herself an accomplished pianist. Their only child, Richard, went on to become a noted Indologist and scholar of Buddhism, acting as the Boden Professor of Sanskrit at Oxford University from 1976 to 2004. During World War II, Gombrich worked for the BBC World Service, monitoring German radio broadcasts. When in 1945 an upcoming announcement was prefaced by a Bruckner symphony written for Wagner's death, Gombrich guessed correctly that Hitler was dead and promptly broke the news to Churchill. He returned to the Warburg Institute in November 1945, where he became Senior Research Fellow (1946), Lecturer (1948), Reader (1954), and eventually Professor of the History of the Classical Tradition and director of the institute (1959–72). He was elected a Fellow of the British Academy in 1960, made CBE in 1966, knighted in 1972, and appointed a member of the Order of Merit in 1988. He was the recipient of numerous additional honours, including Goethe Prize 1994 and Balzan Prize in 1985 for History of Western Art. Gombrich was close to a number of Austrian émigrés who fled to the West prior to the Anschluss, among them Karl Popper (to whom he was especially close), Friedrich Hayek and Max Perutz. He was instrumental in bringing to publication Popper's magnum opus The Open Society and Its Enemies. Each had known the other only fleetingly in Vienna, as Gombrich's father served his law apprenticeship with Popper's father. They became lifelong friends in exile. [edit] WorkGombrich's first book, and the only one he did not write in English, was Eine kurze Weltgeschichte für junge Leser (A short history of the world for young readers), published in Germany in 1936. It was very popular and translated into several languages, but was not available in English until 2005, when a translation of a revised edition was published as A Little History of the World. He did most of this translation and revision himself, and it was completed by his long-time assistant and secretary Caroline Mustill and his granddaughter Leonie Gombrich after his death [4]. The Story of Art, first published in 1950 and currently in its 16th edition, is widely regarded as one of the most accessible introductions to the history of visual arts. Originally intended for adolescent readers, it has sold millions of copies and been translated into more than 30 languages. Other major publications include Art and Illusion (1960), regarded by critics to be his most influential and far-reaching work, and the essays gathered in Meditations on a Hobby Horse (1963) and The Image and the Eye (1981). Other important books are Aby Warburg: An Intellectual Biography (1970), The Sense of Order (1979) and The Preference for the Primitive (posthumously in 2002). The complete list of his publications, E.H. Gombrich: A Bibliography, was published by Joseph Burney Trapp in 2000.","The most famous and popular book on art ever published, this quintessential ""introduction to art"" has been a worldwide bestseller for over four decades.

System 1 is fast, intuitive, and emotional; System 2 is slower, more deliberative, and more logical. The impact of overconfidence on corporate strategies, the difficulties of predicting what will make us happy in the future, the profound effect of cognitive biases on everything from playing the stock market to planning our next vacation—each of these can be understood only by knowing how the two systems shape our judgments and decisions. Engaging the reader in a lively conversation about how we think, Kahneman reveals where we can and cannot trust our intuitions and how we can tap into the benefits of slow thinking. He offers practical and enlightening insights into how choices are made in both our business and our personal lives—and how we can use different techniques to guard against the mental glitches that often get us into trouble. Winner of the National Academy of Sciences Best Book Award and the Los Angeles Times Book Prize and selected by The New York Times Book Review as one of the ten best books of 2011, Thinking, Fast and Slow is destined to be a classic.

System 1 and System 2, the fast and slow types of thinking, become characters that illustrate the psychology behind things we think we understand but really don't, such as intuition. Kahneman's transparent and careful treatment of his subject has the potential to change how we think, not just about thinking, but about how we live our lives. Thinking, Fast and Slow gives deep--and sometimes frightening--insight about what goes on inside our heads: the psychological basis for reactions, judgments, recognition, choices, conclusions, and much more. --JoVon Sotak Review “A tour de force. . . Kahneman’s book is a must read for anyone interested in either human behavior or investing. He clearly shows that while we like to think of ourselves as rational in our decision making, the truth is we are subject to many biases. At least being aware of them will give you a better chance of avoiding them, or at least making fewer of them.”—Larry Swedroe, CBS News “Daniel Kahneman demonstrates forcefully in his new book, Thinking, Fast and Slow, how easy it is for humans to swerve away from rationality.”—Christopher Shea, The Washington Post “An outstanding book, distinguished by beauty and clarity of detail, precision of presentation and gentleness of manner. Its truths are open to all those whose System 2 is not completely defunct. I have hardly touched on its richness.”— Galen Strawson, The Guardian “Brilliant . . . It is impossible to exaggerate the importance of Daniel Kahneman’s contribution to the understanding of the way we think and choose. He stands among the giants, a weaver of the threads of Charles Darwin, Adam Smith and Sigmund Freud. Arguably the most important psychologist in history, Kahneman has reshaped cognitive psychology, the analysis of rationality and reason, the understanding of risk and the study of happiness and well-being . . . A magisterial work, stunning in its ambition, infused with knowledge, laced with wisdom, informed by modesty and deeply humane. If you can read only one book this year, read this one.”— Janice Gross Stein, The Globe and Mail “A sweeping, compelling tale of just how easily our brains are bamboozled, bringing in both his own research and that of numerous psychologists, economists, and other experts...Kahneman has a remarkable ability to take decades worth of research and distill from it what would be important and interesting for a lay audience...Thinking, Fast and Slow is an immensely important book. Many science books are uneven, with a useful or interesting chapter too often followed by a dull one. Not so here. With rare exceptions, the entire span of this weighty book is fascinating and applicable to day-to-day life. Everyone should read Thinking, Fast and Slow.” —Jesse Singal, Boston Globe “We must be grateful to Kahneman for giving us in this book a joyful understanding of the practical side of our personalities.” —Freeman Dyson, The New York Review of Books “Brilliant . . .

If you can read only one book this year, read this one.” — Janice Gross Stein, The Globe and Mail “It is an astonishingly rich book: lucid, profound, full of intellectual surprises and self-help value. It is consistently entertaining and frequently touching, especially when Kahneman is recounting his collaboration with Tversky . . . So impressive is its vision of flawed human reason that the New York Times columnist David Brooks recently declared that Kahneman and Tversky’s work ‘will be remembered hundreds of years from now,’ and that it is ‘a crucial pivot point in the way we see ourselves.’ They are, Brooks said, ‘like the Lewis and Clark of the mind’ . . . By the time I got to the end of Thinking, Fast and Slow, my skeptical frown had long since given way to a grin of intellectual satisfaction. Appraising the book by the peak-end rule, I overconfidently urge everyone to buy and read it. But for those who are merely interested in Kahenman’s takeaway on the Malcolm Gladwell question it is this: If you've had 10,000 hours of training in a predictable, rapid-feedback environment—chess, firefighting, anesthesiology—then blink. In all other cases, think.”—The New York Times Book Review “Ask around and you hear pretty much the same thing. 'Kahneman is the most influential psychologist since Sigmund Freud,' says Christopher Chabris, a professor of psychology at Union College, in New York. 'No one else has had such a broad impact on so many fields' . . . It now seems inevitable that Kahneman, who made his reputation by ignoring or defying conventional wisdom, is about to be anointed the intellectual guru of our economically irrational times.”— Evan R. Goldstein, The Chronicle of Higher Education “There have been many good books on human rationality and irrationality, but only one masterpiece. That masterpiece is Daniel Kahneman’s Thinking, Fast and Slow . . . This is one of the greatest and most engaging collections of insights into the human mind I have read.”—William Easterly, Financial Times “[Thinking, Fast and Slow] is wonderful, of course. To anyone with the slightest interest in the workings of his own mind, it is so rich and fascinating that any summary would seem absurd.”— Michael Lewis, Vanity Fair “Absorbingly articulate and infinitely intelligent . . . What's most enjoyable and compelling about Thinking, Fast and Slow is that it's so utterly, refreshingly anti-Gladwellian. There is nothing pop about Kahneman's psychology, no formulaic story arc, no beating you over the head with an artificial, buzzword-encrusted Big Idea. It's just the wisdom that comes from five decades of honest, rigorous scientific work, delivered humbly yet brilliantly, in a way that will forever change the way you think about thinking.”—Maria Popova, The Atlantic “I will never think about thinking quite the same. [Thinking, Fast and Slow] is a monumental achievement.”—Roger Lowenstein, Bloomberg/Businessweek “Profound . . . As Copernicus removed the Earth from the centre of the universe and Darwin knocked humans off their biological perch, Mr. Kahneman has shown that we are not the paragons of reason we assume ourselves to be.” —The Economist “[Kahneman’s] disarmingly simple experiments have profoundly changed the way that we think about thinking . . . We like to see ourselves as a Promethean species, uniquely endowed with the gift of reason. But Mr. Kahneman’s simple experiments reveal a very different mind, stuffed full of habits that, in most situations, lead us astray.” —Jonah Lehrer, The Wall Street Journal “[A] tour de force of psychological insight, research explication and compelling narrative that brings together in one volume the high points of Mr. Kahneman's notable contributions, over five decades, to the study of human judgment, decision-making and choice . . . Thanks to the elegance and force of his ideas, and the robustness of the evidence he offers for them, he has helped us to a new understanding of our divided minds—and our whole selves.” —Christoper F. Chabris, The Wall Street Journal “The ramifications of Kahenman’s work are wide, extending into education, business, marketing, politics . . . and even happiness research. Call his field “psychonomics,” the hidden reasoning behind our choices. Thinking, Fast and Slow is essential reading for anyone with a mind.” —Kyle Smith, The New York Post “A major intellectual event . . . The work of Kahneman and Tversky was a crucial pivot point in the way we see ourselves.” —David Brooks, The New York Times “Kahneman provides a detailed, yet accessible, description of the psychological mechanisms involved in making decisions.” —Jacek Debiec, Nature “With Kahneman’s expert help, readers may understand this mix of psychology and economics better than most accountants, therapists, or elected representatives. VERDICT A stellar accomplishment, a book for everyone who likes to think and wants to do it better.” —Library Journal “The mind is a hilariously muddled compromise between incompatible modes of thought in this fascinating treatise by a giant in the field of decision research. Nobel-winning psychologist Kahneman (Attention and Effort) posits a brain governed by two clashing decision-making processes. The largely unconscious System 1, he contends, makes intuitive snap judgments based on emotion, memory, and hard-wired rules of thumb; the painfully conscious System 2 laboriously checks the facts and does the math, but is so ""lazy"" and distractible that it usually defers to System 1.

In the streets below, a slew of ordinary lives become extraordinary in bestselling novelist Colum McCann’s stunningly intricate portrait of a city and its people. Let the Great World Spin is the critically acclaimed author’s most ambitious novel yet: a dazzlingly rich vision of the pain, loveliness, mystery, and promise of New York City in the 1970s. Corrigan, a radical young Irish monk, struggles with his own demons as he lives among the prostitutes in the middle of the burning Bronx. A group of mothers gather in a Park Avenue apartment to mourn their sons who died in Vietnam, only to discover just how much divides them even in grief. A young artist finds herself at the scene of a hit-and-run that sends her own life careening sideways. Tillie, a thirty-eight-year-old grandmother, turns tricks alongside her teenage daughter, determined not only to take care of her family but to prove her own worth. Elegantly weaving together these and other seemingly disparate lives, McCann’s powerful allegory comes alive in the unforgettable voices of the city’s people, unexpectedly drawn together by hope, beauty, and the “artistic crime of the century.” A sweeping and radical social novel, Let the Great World Spin captures the spirit of America in a time of transition, extraordinary promise, and, in hindsight, heartbreaking innocence.

An ambitious urban entrepreneur who rose up the social ladder, from leather-aproned shopkeeper to dining with kings, he seems made of flesh rather than of marble. In bestselling author Walter Isaacson's vivid and witty full-scale biography, we discover why Franklin seems to turn to us from history's stage with eyes that twinkle from behind his new-fangled spectacles. By bringing Franklin to life, Isaacson shows how he helped to define both his own time and ours. He was, during his 84-year life, America's best scientist, inventor, diplomat, writer, and business strategist, and he was also one of its most practical -- though not most profound -- political thinkers. He proved by flying a kite that lightning was electricity, and he invented a rod to tame it. He sought practical ways to make stoves less smoky and commonwealths less corrupt. He organized neighborhood constabularies and international alliances, local lending libraries and national legislatures. He combined two types of lenses to create bifocals and two concepts of representation to foster the nation's federal compromise. He was the only man who shaped all the founding documents of America: the Albany Plan of Union, the Declaration of Independence, the treaty of alliance with France, the peace treaty with England, and the Constitution. And he helped invent America's unique style of homespun humor, democratic values, and philosophical pragmatism. But the most interesting thing that Franklin invented, and continually reinvented, was himself. America's first great publicist, he was, in his life and in his writings, consciously trying to create a new American archetype. In the process, he carefully crafted his own persona, portrayed it in public, and polished it for posterity. Through it all, he trusted the hearts and minds of his fellow ""leather-aprons"" more than he did those of any inbred elite. He saw middle-class values as a source of social strength, not as something to be derided. His guiding principle was a ""dislike of everything that tended to debase the spirit of the common people."" Few of his fellow founders felt this comfort with democracy so fully, and none so intuitively. In this colorful and intimate narrative, Isaacson provides the full sweep of Franklin's amazing life, from his days as a runaway printer to his triumphs as a statesman, scientist, and Founding Father. He chronicles Franklin's tumultuous relationship with his illegitimate son and grandson, his practical marriage, and his flirtations with the ladies of Paris. He also shows how Franklin helped to create the American character and why he has a particular resonance in the twenty-first century.",USD 35.00,9780684807614,0684807610 reading,2012-07-12T19:28:15Z,8,0.0,Denis McNamara,Paperback,256,Rizzoli,How to Read Churches,https://book.douban.com/subject/6773498/,"Denis McNamara is a former lecturer in architectural history at the University of Virginia and has written two books on Christian architecture. He is currently assistant director of the Liturgical Institute, University of St. Mary of the Lake, Mundelein, Illinois.","Small enough to fit in a pocket yet serious enough to provide real answers, this primer is a must-have for architecture and history buffs, tourists, and churchgoers interested in decoding the styles and symbols of religious buildings. Every building contains clues embedded in its design that identify not only its architectural style but also who designed it, what kind of congregation it was built for, and why. This practical yet charming handbook is the key to decoding the style, history, evolution, and social significance of religious buildings. Not strictly limited to churches, it also covers abbeys, chapels, and monasteries, among other structures. Organized according to architectural element (windows, domes, arches, etc.), each element is presented in chronological order. Additional chapters explore the architectural influence of geography, history, and various creeds, along with an illustrated timeline showing how, where, and in many cases why certain church features evolved through the centuries. There is also a useful introduction to naming each component of a church, from vaults to buttresses and transepts to apses. All entries are illustrated with period engravings and line drawings. This book will be invaluable for architecture buffs and anyone who has ever wondered why classic New England churches are white with little ornament, why Quaker meetinghouses have no altars, or why Episcopalians traditionally favored the Gothic style.",US$17.95,9780847835980,0847835987 read,2012-07-09T04:10:26Z,169,9.3,George R.

The Iron Throne once united the Sunset Lands, but King Robert is dead, his widow is a traitor to his memory, and his surviving brothers are set on a path of war amongst themselves. At King's Landing, the head of Lord Eddard Stark rots on a spike for all to see.

Martin unfolds with astonishing skill a tale of truly epic dimensions, thronged with memorable characters, a story of treachery and ambition, love and magic.

It sounds simple enough, yet the travelling salesman problem is one of the most intensely studied puzzles in applied mathematics - and it has defied solution to this day. In this book, William Cook takes readers on a mathematical excursion, picking up the salesman's trail in the 1800s when Irish mathematician W. R. Hamilton first defined the problem, and venturing to the furthest limits of today's state-of-the-art attempts to solve it. Cook examines the origins and history of the salesman problem and explores its many important applications, from genome sequencing and designing computer processors to arranging music and hunting for planets. He looks at how computers stack up against the travelling salesman problem on a grand scale, and discusses how humans, unaided by computers, go about trying to solve the puzzle. Cook traces the salesman problem to the realms of neuroscience, psychology, and art, and he also challenges readers to tackle the problem themselves. The travelling salesman problem is - literally - a $1 million question. That's the prize the Clay Mathematics Institute is offering to anyone who can solve the problem or prove that it can't be done.

Tacitus, who condemns the depravity of these rulers, which he saw as proof of the corrupting force of absolute power, writes caustically of the brutal and lecherous Tiberius, the weak and cuckolded Claudius, and ""the artist"" Nero. In particular, his gripping account of the bloody reigns of Tiberius and Nero brims with plots, murder, poisoning, suicide, uprisings, death, and destruction. The Annals also provides a vivid account of the violent suppression of the revolt led by Boudicca in Britain, the great fire of Rome under Nero, and the subsequent bloody persecution of the Christians. J. C. Yardley's translation is vivid without sacrificing accuracy, and is based on the recent Latin Heubner text, with variations noted in an appendix. Anthony A. Barrett's introduction and notes provide invaluable historical and cultural context. This superb edition also includes maps, a glossary of Roman terms and place names, and a full index of names and places.","'He was atrocious in his brutality, but his lechery was kept hidden...In the end, he erupted into an orgy of crime and ignominy alike' Such is Tacitus' obituary of Tiberius, and he is no less caustic in his opinion of the weak and cuckolded Claudius and the 'artist' Nero. The Annals is a gripping account of the Roman emperors who followed Augustus, the founder of the imperial system, and of the murders, sycophancy, plotting, and oppression that marked this period in Rome. Tacitus provides the earliest and most detailed account of Boudicca's rebellion in Britain, and his history also relates the great fire of Rome in the reign of Nero, and the persecution of the Christians that followed. He deplores the depravity of the emperors, whose behaviour he sees as proof of the corrupting force of absolute power. J. C. Yardley's translation is vivid and accurate, and Anthony A. Barrett's introduction and notes provide invaluable historical and cultural context.

He is the author of Benjamin Franklin: An American Life and of Kissinger: A Biography, and the coauthor of The Wise Men: Six Friends and the World They Made. He lives in Washington, D.C., with his wife and daughter.","Based on more than forty interviews with Jobs conducted over two years—as well as interviews with more than a hundred family members, friends, adversaries, competitors, and colleagues—Walter Isaacson has written a riveting story of the roller-coaster life and searingly intense personality of a creative entrepreneur whose passion for perfection and ferocious drive revolutionized six industries: personal computers, animated movies, music, phones, tablet computing, and digital publishing. At a time when America is seeking ways to sustain its innovative edge, and when societies around the world are trying to build digital-age economies, Jobs stands as the ultimate icon of inventiveness and applied imagination. He knew that the best way to create value in the twenty-first century was to connect creativity with technology. He built a company where leaps of the imagination were combined with remarkable feats of engineering. Although Jobs cooperated with this book, he asked for no control over what was written nor even the right to read it before it was published. He put nothing off-limits. He encouraged the people he knew to speak honestly. And Jobs speaks candidly, sometimes brutally so, about the people he worked with and competed against. His friends, foes, and colleagues provide an unvarnished view of the passions, perfectionism, obsessions, artistry, devilry, and compulsion for control that shaped his approach to business and the innovative products that resulted. Driven by demons, Jobs could drive those around him to fury and despair. But his personality and products were interrelated, just as Apple’s hardware and software tended to be, as if part of an integrated system.

×      ×      ×      ×      ×      × 谈武侠小说,不能不谈梁羽生,不能忽略他在平淡中飘溢出来的独特韵味。就新派武侠小说而言,古龙是小字辈,金庸是后行一步的人,梁羽生则是时间上的“大哥大”。正是由于他无意闯入武林,才造成了本世纪最壮观的文化景致——武侠热。 梁羽生文学功底很深,言辞优美,描写生动,文中大量运用诗词,独树一帜。只是在情节上的描写稍逊与金庸与古龙,但其作品仍很值得一读,不愧为三大宗师之一。 梁羽生的武侠小说,上接《儿女英雄传》以来的侠义小说和民国旧武侠小说,开创新派武侠文学;下启金庸、古龙的一片天地。他这样评价自己在武侠小说界的地位:开风气者,梁羽生;发扬光大者,金庸。 在上世纪六七十年代,他和金庸共同扛起了新派武侠小说的大旗,“金梁并称,一时瑜亮”。梁金并世之时,曾主张“侠是下层劳动人民的智慧与品德的化身”,将侠行建立在正义、尊严、爱民的基础上,摒弃了旧派武侠小说一味复仇与嗜杀的倾向,金庸更将之提升为“为国为民,侠之大者”。 梁羽生小说以实在的文史知识和古代诗词见称。语言文采飞扬,字里行间透出浓郁的书卷气,故事中常常将诗词歌赋、民歌俗语点缀其间。他的小说技法以传统继承为主,多用章回小说的形式铺张故事,小说回目意境深远,对仗精巧,情节推展明显具有怡荡有致的韵律感,叙事中也带有明显的说书人的口气。其武侠小说中的人物道德色彩浓烈,正邪严格区分。他的武侠作品,每一部都有明确的历史背景,小说情节构置巧妙、稳厚绵密。有人认为梁羽生小说的缺憾在于“乏味”二字,究其原因,可能还是因为梁先生始终保有一种“正统”文人的姿态。梁先生自己也说:“可能我也犯过“离奇 ”的毛病。但我的作品中“离奇”不是主流,不是我的风格”。",30.0,9787805216379,7805216371 read,2011-08-10T15:19:04Z,26155,8.9,当年明月,平装,324,中国海关出版社,明朝那些事儿(柒):大结局,https://book.douban.com/subject/3626924/,当年明月,副研究员,明史学会会员,青年历史学者,心灵历史开创者,担任国内多家电视台文史类节目主讲人,畅销书作家,所著作品《明朝那些事儿》销量过五百万册,为三十年来最畅销之史学读本,多次获得“新浪图书风云榜”最佳图书、当当网“终身五星级最佳图书”、“卓越亚马逊畅销书大奖”等荣誉,位列全国十大畅销书之一,2007—2008年度系列畅销书第一名,该系列作品已被译为日、韩、英等多国文字出版发行。,"明朝最后一位皇帝,自来有许多传说。关于崇祯究竟是一个昏庸无能的皇帝,还是一个力图奋起的人,一直众说纷纭。不管怎么说,这是一个残酷的时代,也是一个精彩的时代。本书对这一段历史进行了分析梳理,引人思索。 在这一时期,北方的后金势力崛起,经过努尔哈赤的经营,势力急剧壮大。努尔哈赤死后,皇太极即位。袁崇焕就在这一时期迈上了历史的舞台。本文作者告诉我们,袁崇焕这个民族英雄,在历史上不过是个二流角色。为什么这样评价?因为我们所了解的历史是远远不够的,在这背后,还隐藏着许多不为人知的秘密。关于袁崇焕的死因,更是与我们之前知道的历史大不一样:一场与他无关的争权夺利,把他送上了死刑台。 大明的动乱此时才不过刚刚开始,随后陕西等地爆发了各路义军。也许你知道闯王高迎祥、闯将李自成、八大王张献忠,但你知道“薛仁贵”、“曹操”和“刘备”也到明末来了么?这绝对不是穿越小说里的场景。而你又知道竟然有义军队伍叫“逼上路”、“鞋底光”、“一块云”,甚至“三只手”这样的名字吗?

Mythologized as Custer's Last Stand, the June 1876 battle has been equated with other famous last stands, from the Spartans' defeat at Thermopylae to Davy Crockett at the Alamo. In his tightly structured narrative, Nathaniel Philbrick brilliantly sketches the two larger-than-life antagonists: Sitting Bull, whose charisma and political savvy earned him the position of leader of the Plains Indians, and George Armstrong Custer, one of the Union's greatest cavalry officers and a man with a reputation for fearless and often reckless courage. Philbrick reminds readers that the Battle of the Little Bighorn was also, even in victory, the last stand for the Sioux and Cheyenne Indian nations. Increasingly outraged by the government's Indian policies, the Plains tribes allied themselves and held their ground in southern Montana.

When he toured Europe in 1910 as plain “Colonel Roosevelt,” he was hailed as the most famous man in the world. Crowned heads vied to put him up in their palaces. “If I see another king,” he joked, “I think I shall bite him.” Had TR won his historic “Bull Moose” campaign in 1912 (when he outpolled the sitting president, William Howard Taft), he might have averted World War I, so great was his international influence. Had he not died in 1919, at the early age of sixty, he would unquestionably have been reelected to a third term in the White House and completed the work he began in 1901 of establishing the United States as a model democracy, militarily strong and socially just. This biography by Edmund Morris, the Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award–winning author of The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt and Theodore Rex, is itself the completion of a trilogy sure to stand as definitive. Packed with more adventure, variety, drama, humor, and tragedy than a big novel, yet documented down to the smallest fact, it recounts the last decade of perhaps the most amazing life in American history. What other president has written forty books, hunted lions, founded a third political party, survived an assassin’s bullet, and explored an unknown river longer than the Rhine? Colonel Roosevelt begins with a prologue recounting what TR called his “journey into the Pleistocene”—a yearlong safari through East Africa, collecting specimens for the Smithsonian. Some readers will be repulsed by TR’s bloodlust, which this book does not prettify, yet there can be no denying that the Colonel passionately loved and understood every living thing that came his way: The text is rich in quotations from his marvelous nature writing. Although TR intended to remain out of politics when he returned home in 1910, a fateful decision that spring drew him back into public life. By the end of the summer, in his famous “New Nationalism” speech, he was the guiding spirit of the Progressive movement, which inspired much of the social agenda of the future New Deal. (TR’s fifth cousin Franklin Delano Roosevelt acknowledged that debt, adding that the Colonel “was the greatest man I ever knew.”) Then follows a detailed account of TR’s reluctant yet almost successful campaign for the White House in 1912. But unlike other biographers, Edmund Morris does not treat TR mainly as a politician. This volume gives as much consideration to TR’s literary achievements and epic expedition to Brazil in 1913–1914 as to his fatherhood of six astonishingly different children, his spiritual and aesthetic beliefs, and his eager embrace of other cultures—from Arab and Magyar to German and American Indian. It is impossible to read Colonel Roosevelt and not be awed by the man’s universality. The Colonel himself remarked, “I have enjoyed life as much as any nine men I know.” Morris does not hesitate, however, to show how pathologically TR turned upon those who inherited the power he craved—the hapless Taft, the adroit Woodrow Wilson. When Wilson declined to bring the United States into World War I in 1915 and 1916, the Colonel blasted him with some of the worst abuse ever uttered by a former chief executive. Yet even Wilson had to admit that behind the Rooseveltian will to rule lay a winning idealism and decency. “He is just like a big boy—there is a sweetness about him that you can’t resist.” That makes the story of TR’s last year, when the “boy” in him died, all the sadder in the telling: the conclusion of a life of Aristotelian grandeur.",GBP 25.09,9780375504877,0375504877 read,2011-05-13T11:28:56Z,1819,9.2,J.K.

All under the watchful eye of Brown's most terrifying villain to date. Set within the hidden chambers, tunnels, and temples of Washington, D.C., The Lost Symbol accelerates through a startling landscape toward an unthinkable finale. As the story opens, Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon is summoned unexpectedly to deliver an evening lecture in the U.S. Capitol Building. Within minutes of his arrival, however, the night takes a bizarre turn. A disturbing object, artfully encoded with five symbols--is discovered in the Capitol Building. Langdon recognizes the object as an ancient invitation. One meant to usher its recipient into a long-lost world of esoteric wisdom. When Langdon's beloved mentor, Peter Solomon, a prominent Mason and philanthropist--is brutally kidnapped, Langdon realizes his only hope of saving Peter is to accept this mystical invitation and follow wherever it leads him. Langdon is instantly plunged into a clandestine world of Masonic secrets, hidden history, and never-before-seen locations, all of which seem to be dragging him toward a single, inconceivable truth. As the world discovered in The Da Vinci Code and Angels & Demons, Dan Brown's novels are brilliant tapestries of veiled histories, arcane symbols, and enigmatic codes.

D. Salinger,Hardcover,288,"Little, Brown and Company",The Catcher in the Rye,https://book.douban.com/subject/1449626/,"Jerome David Salinger (January 1, 1919 – January 27, 2010) was an American author, best known for his 1951 novel The Catcher in the Rye, as well as his reclusive nature. His last original published work was in 1965; he gave his last interview in 1980. Raised in Manhattan, Salinger began writing short stories while in secondary school, and published several stories in the early 1940s before serving in World War II. Salinger published his first stories in Story magazine which was started by Whit Burnett. In 1948 he published the critically acclaimed story ""A Perfect Day for Bananafish"" in The New Yorker magazine, which became home to much of his subsequent work. In 1951 Salinger released his novel The Catcher in the Rye, an immediate popular success. His depiction of adolescent alienation and loss of innocence in the protagonist Holden Caulfield was influential, especially among adolescent readers. The novel remains widely read and controversial, selling around 250,000 copies a year. Biography Jerome David Salinger, was born in New York City on Jan. 1, 1919, and established his reputation on the basis of a single novel, The Catcher in the Rye (1951), whose principal character, Holden Caulfield, epitomized the growing pains of a generation of high school and college students. The public attention that followed the success of the book led Salinger to move from New York to the remote hills of Cornish, New Hampshire. Before that he had published only a few short stories; one of them, ""A Perfect Day for Bananafish,"" which appeared in The New Yorker in 1949, introduced readers to Seymour Glass, a character who subsequently figured in Franny and Zooey (1961) and Raise High the Roof Beam, Carpenter and Seymour: An Introduction (1963), Salinger's only other published books. Of his 35 published short stories, those which Salinger wishes to preserve are collected in Nine Stories (1953). Author biography copyright 1993, Grolier, Inc.","Anyone who has read J. D. Salinger's New Yorker stories - particularly A Perfect Day for Bananafish, Uncle Wiggily in Connecticut, The Laughing Man, and For Esme - With Love and Squalor, will not be surprised by the fact that his first novel is full of children. The hero-narrator of The Catcher in the Rye is an ancient child of sixteen, a native New Yorker named Holden Caulfield. Through circumstances that tend to preclude adult, secondhand description, he leaves his prep school in Pennsylvania and goes underground in New York City for three days. The boy himself is at once too simple and too complex for us to make any final comment about him or his story. Perhaps the safest thing we can say about Holden is that he was born in the world not just strongly attracted to beauty but, almost, hopelessly impaled on it. There are many voices in this novel: children's voices, adult voices, underground voices-but Holden's voice is the most eloquent of all. Transcending his own vernacular, yet remaining marvelously faithful to it, he issues a perfectly articulated cry of mixed pain and pleasure. However, like most lovers and clowns and poets of the higher orders, he keeps most of the pain to, and for, himself. The pleasure he gives away, or sets aside, with all his heart. It is there for the reader who can handle it to keep. Salinger's classic coming-of-age story portrays one young man's funny and poignant experiences with life, love, and sex.",USD 25.99,9780316769532,0316769533 read,2010-08-08T07:51:36Z,81155,7.8,韩寒 主编,平装,128,书海出版社,独唱团(第一辑),https://book.douban.com/subject/4886245/,主编 韩寒:赛车手、作家、青年意见领袖。1998年“新概念”作文大赛以《杯中窥人》获一等奖,其文笔老练,语言犀利。2008年12月接受公盟法律中心颁发的“公民责任奖”;2008年12月19日韩寒与孔庆东、黄健翔、金晶等荣获年度十大博客;2009年《南方周末》2009年度人物;2009年12月《新世纪周刊》2009年度人物;2009年《亚洲周刊》2009年度风云人物;2009年 中国赛车风云榜年度冠军;2009年 时代周报“时代100人—2009推动中国进步100人”; 2010年1月9日,当选为“全国中小学生最喜爱的当代作家”;2010年4月 入选《时代周刊》“全球最具影响力一百人”排名第二 得到近一百万投票;2010年4月28日 在北京大学百年讲堂正式公布的“中国首届心灵富豪榜”中,与曹德旺、陈光标、王菲、范伟等一同入选“心灵富豪风云榜”十大人物。,“虽然作者们提供了非常优秀的文章,但它终究只是一本文艺读本,无论是从程序上还是从本质上,他都无法承载很多人对于改变现状,改善社会的期望。我们总说,这个社会需要常识,需要启蒙,但其实我认为,互联网十年,该启蒙的人已经被启蒙了,有常识的人一直有常识,大家其实都知道美和丑,好和恶,只是我们有不可抗力的因素导致我们在台面上要扭曲和违背一下自己。要改变靠自己,现在不是旧年代,资讯毕竟对我们开放了七八成,我们也已经了解了这个世界七八成。而一本文艺读物,除了能提供好的文艺作品以外,能量有限,如果你抱着想看战争片的心态误看了一部文艺片,无论这部文艺片多好,你都会失望。”(韩寒说《独唱团》),16.00元,9787805508405,7805508402 read,2010-08-03T23:49:27Z,1719,8.3,[日] 川端康成,平装,144,上海译文出版社,雪国,https://book.douban.com/subject/1885070/,,《雪国》,侍桁译本。“二十世纪外国文学丛书”一种。译笔明丽,意境渺远,在众译本中最靠近原著风格。十分可读。包括《雪国》与《伊豆的歌女》,0.58,,SH10188-213 read,2010-07-19T09:27:09Z,118,8.6,Aravind Adiga,Paperback,304,Free Press,The White Tiger,https://book.douban.com/subject/3243754/,,"Aravind Adiga's extraordinary and brilliant first novel takes the form of a series of letters to Wen Jiabao, the Chinese premier, from Balram Halwai, the Bangalore businessman who is the self-styled “White Tiger” of the title. Bangalore is the Silicon Valley of the subcontinent, and on the eve of a state visit by Jiabao, our entrepreneur Halwai wishes to impart something of the new India to the Chinese premier - “out of respect for the love of liberty shown by the Chinese people, and also in the belief that the future of the world lies with the yellow man and the brown man now that our erstwhile master, the white-skinned man, has wasted himself through buggery, mobile phone usage and drug abuse”. Halwai's lesson about the new India is drawn from the rags-to-riches story of his own life. For Halwai, the son of a rural rickshaw-puller, is from the “Darkness”: “Please understand, Your Excellency, that India is two countries in one: an India of Light, and an India of Darkness. The ocean brings light to my country. Every place on the map of India near the ocean is well-off. But the river brings darkness to India - the black river.” The black river is the Ganges, beloved of the sari-and-spices tourist image of India. (“No! - Mr Jiabao, I urge you not to dip in the Ganga, unless you want your mouth full of faeces, straw, soggy parts of human bodies, buffalo carrion, and seven different kinds of industrial acids.”) At first, this novel seems like a straightforward pulled-up-by-your-bootstraps tale, albeit given a dazzling twist by the narrator's sharp and satirical eye for the realities of life for India's poor. (“In the old days there were 1,000 castes...in India. These days, there are just two castes: Men with Big Bellies, and Men with Small Bellies.”) But as the narrative draws the reader further in, and darkens, it becomes clear that Adiga is playing a bigger game. For The White Tiger stands at the opposite end of the spectrum of representations of poverty from those images of doe-eyed children that dominate our electronic media - that sentimentalise poverty and even suggest that there may be something ennobling in it. Halwai's lesson in The White Tiger is that poverty creates monsters, and he himself is just such a monster.",GBP 11.47,9781416562603,1416562605 read,2010-07-02T06:31:06Z,1,0.0,Robert W. Merry,Hardcover,592,Simon & Schuster,A Country of Vast Designs,https://book.douban.com/subject/4879509/,,"When James K. Polk was elected president in 1844, the United States was locked in a bitter diplomatic struggle with Britain over the rich lands of the Oregon Territory, which included what is now Washington, Oregon, and Idaho. Texas, not yet part of the Union, was threatened by a more powerful Mexico. And the territories north and west of Texas -- what would become California, Nevada, Utah, Arizona, New Mexico, and part of Colorado -- belonged to Mexico. When Polk relinquished office four years later, the country had grown by more than a third as all these lands were added. The continental United States, as we know it today, was established -- facing two oceans and positioned to dominate both. In a one-term presidency, Polk completed the story of America's Manifest Destiny -- extending its territory across the continent, from sea to sea, by threatening England and manufacturing a controversial and unpopular two-year war with Mexico that Abraham Lincoln, in Congress at the time, opposed as preemptive. Robert Merry tells this story through powerful debates and towering figures -- the outgoing President John Tyler and Polk's great mentor, Andrew Jackson; his defeated Whig opponent, Henry Clay; two famous generals, Zachary Taylor and Winfield Scott; Secretary of State James Buchanan (who would precede Lincoln as president); Senate giants Thomas Hart Benton and Lewis Cass; Daniel Webster and John C. Calhoun; and ex-president Martin Van Buren, like Polk a Jackson protégé but now a Polk rival. This was a time of tremendous clashing forces. A surging antislavery sentiment was at the center of the territorial fight. The struggle between a slave-owning South and an opposing North was leading inexorably to Civil War.

原来庄主邀请武林高手在此会一位盖世英雄——雪山飞狐胡斐。午前胡斐派二童子送信,称午间践约。玉笔峰上众人重新争夺铁盒,宝树倚强将铁盒持在手中,令人打开,内装一柄宝刀。 宝树谈起宝刀的来历,继而,分别由宝树、金面佛大侠苗人凤之女苗若兰、平阿四及陶百岁之口讲述了与此相关的一段武林往事。 此宝刀乃闯王李自成之遗物。闯王兵败时,身边有胡苗范田四大侍卫。闯王被困九宫山时,派苗范田三人去求救援,胡侍卫护卫闯王。但救援未到、敌兵先至,胡侍卫以一死卒充闯王献于清兵,然后将闯王安置一隐秘庙中为僧。胡侍卫因得清兵信任升官,苗范田三人却以为胡出卖闯王,定计报仇。三人行刺吴三桂时巧遇胡,不及胡陈明原委即将胡杀死。以后胡之子以实情告知三人,三人当众自刎。三人后代未知内情,苗范田遂与胡世代为仇。百余年来,四家子孙怨怨相报,无一代能得善终。 至胡一刀、苗人凤一代仍继先辈之仇。胡一刀护妻去南方生产,至唐官屯突然临产,此时恰与来此寻仇之苗人凤、田归农等人相逢。胡一刀遣人将当年实情告苗,却因田归农从中做梗而未达。胡苗遂有一场苦战。交战几日,二人仗义行侠之豪气与各怀之绝艺使对方顿生钦佩,虽为仇家却彼此视为知己。因田归农在二人比武之兵器上暗涂毒药,胡一刀以小伤毙命,胡夫人将幼子托与苗人凤,随夫自尽,田归农欲加害幼子,幸为平阿四救下,抚养长大,取名胡斐,按胡一刀遗下之刀谱练成绝技,称名武林,为雪山飞狐。 这日正午,胡斐如约至玉笔峰,峰上诸人因各怀鬼胎,惧怕胡斐,俱避内室。苗若兰镇定而出,接待胡斐,二人顿生爱恋。因庄主不在,胡斐暂避峰下。峰上之人谈及宝刀为当年闯王获明皇室宝之藏处指南,遂按宝刀所示,众人于峰后寻巨宝藏处。行前宝树将苗若兰点穴、田青文脱去若兰衣裤置其床上帐内。胡斐再至峰上,进内室,忽闻庄主约大内侍卫与武林高手来此围捕自己与苗人风,急避帐内,遭遇只着内衣之若兰。苗人凤来至峰上,不意中奸人之计被绑,胡斐勇出杀敌救苗人凤。但当苗人凤又见胡斐所出之床上尚有只着内衣的女儿时,认为胡斐乃奸恶小人,追击胡斐。 胡抱若兰逃下峰去,巧见寻宝诸人于藏宝洞因贪婪彼此厮杀,遂将诸人关闭石门之内,使其永不见天日。二人倾诉爱意、私定永好,苗人凤却已赶到,约胡斐到一险处相斗,数十回合不分上下。当二人落至一悬岩之上,悬岩已然松动,不能承二人之重量。此时苗人凤进招现出弱点,胡斐趁机进招即可将其翻下悬崖,但对手乃恋人之父;若不下手,则对方进招自己当落得粉身碎骨。这一刀他是进是退?作者把答案留给了读者。",0,9787108012548,7108012545

金庸博学多才。就武侠小说方面,金庸阅历丰富,知识渊博,文思敏捷,眼光独到。他继承古典武侠小说之精华,开创了形式独特、情节曲折、描写细腻且深具人性和豪情侠义的新派武侠小说先河。举凡历史、政治、古代哲学、宗教、文学、艺术、电影等都有研究,作品中琴棋书画、诗词典章、天文历算、阴阳五行、奇门遁甲、儒道佛学均有涉猎,金庸还是香港著名的政论家、企业家、报人,曾获法国总统“荣誉军团骑士”勋章,英国牛津大学董事会成员及两所学院荣誉院士,多家大学名誉博士。 金庸一支笔写武侠,一支笔纵论时局,享誉香江;少年游侠,中年游艺,老年游仙;为文可以风行一世,为商可以富比陶朱,为政可以参国论要:金庸一生的传奇,可谓多姿多彩之至。佛学对金庸的影响很大。在他的文学作品中处处可见金庸中庸平和的风格。","《碧血剑》当代著名作家金庸著,著于1956年,是金庸的第二部武侠小说。至今为止,已经过三次修订。现收录在《金庸作品集》中。

It is thus crucial to provide statisticians with a practical understanding of those methods, and there is no better way to develop intuition and skills for simulation than to use simulation to solve statistical problems. Introducing Monte Carlo Methods with R covers the main tools used in statistical simulation from a programmer's point of view, explaining the R implementation of each simulation technique and providing the output for better understanding and comparison. While this book constitutes a comprehensive treatment of simulation methods, the theoretical justification of those methods has been considerably reduced, compared with Robert and Casella (2004). Similarly, the more exploratory and less stable solutions are not covered here. This book does not require a preliminary exposure to the R programming language or to Monte Carlo methods, nor an advanced mathematical background. While many examples are set within a Bayesian framework, advanced expertise in Bayesian statistics is not required. The book covers basic random generation algorithms, Monte Carlo techniques for integration and optimization, convergence diagnoses, Markov chain Monte Carlo methods, including Metropolis {Hastings and Gibbs algorithms, and adaptive algorithms. All chapters include exercises and all R programs are available as an R package called mcsm. The book appeals to anyone with a practical interest in simulation methods but no previous exposure. It is meant to be useful for students and practitioners in areas such as statistics, signal processing, communications engineering, control theory, econometrics, finance and more.

Young Nicholas Hook is dogged by a cursed past—haunted by what he has failed to do and banished for what he has done. A wanted man in England, he is driven to fight as a mercenary archer in France, where he finds two things he can love: his instincts as a fighting man, and a girl in trouble. Together they survive the notorious massacre at Soissons, an event that shocks all Christendom. With no options left, Hook heads home to England, where his capture means certain death. Instead he is discovered by the young King of England—Henry V himself—and by royal command he takes up the longbow again and dons the cross of Saint George. Hook returns to France as part of the superb army Henry leads in his quest to claim the French crown. But after the English campaign suffers devastating early losses, it becomes clear that Hook and his fellow archers are their king's last resort in a desperate fight against an enemy more daunting than they could ever have imagined. One of the most dramatic victories in British history, the battle of Agincourt—immortalized by Shakespeare in Henry V —pitted undermanned and overwhelmed English forces against a French army determined to keep their crown out of Henry's hands. Here Bernard Cornwell resurrects the legend of the battle and the ""band of brothers"" who fought it on October 25, 1415. An epic of redemption, Agincourt follows a commoner, a king, and a nation's entire army on an improbable mission to test the will of God and reclaim what is rightfully theirs. From the disasters at the siege of Harfleur to the horrors of the field of Agincourt, this exhilarating story of survival and slaughter is at once a brilliant work of history and a triumph of imagination—Bernard Cornwell at his best.",USD 27.99,9780061578915,0061578916 read,2010-03-01T09:56:29Z,148,9.0,Margaret Atwood,Paperback,544,Anchor Books,The Blind Assassin,https://book.douban.com/subject/1462628/,,"The Blind Assassin opens with these simple, resonant words: ""Ten days after the war ended, my sister Laura drove a car off a bridge.""

He misses the routine of the academic year and has lost his appetite for research. His wife Winifred’s late-flowering career goes from strength to strength, reducing his role to that of escort, while the rejuvenation of her appearance makes him uneasily conscious of the age gap between them. The monotony of his days is relieved only by wearisome journeys to London to check on his aged father who stubbornly refuses to leave the house he is patently unable to live in with safety. But these discontents are nothing compared to the affliction of hearing loss — a constant source of domestic friction and social embarrassment, leading Desmond into mistakes, misunderstandings and follies. It might be comic for others, but for the deaf person himself, it is no joke.

Beloved and hated, venerated and reviled, Andrew Jackson was an orphan who fought his way to the pinnacle of power, bending the nation to his will in the cause of democracy. Jackson’s election in 1828 ushered in a new and lasting era in which the people, not distant elites, were the guiding force in American politics. Democracy made its stand in the Jackson years, and he gave voice to the hopes and the fears of a restless, changing nation facing challenging times at home and threats abroad. To tell the saga of Jackson’s presidency, acclaimed author Jon Meacham goes inside the Jackson White House. Drawing on newly discovered family letters and papers, he details the human drama–the family, the women, and the inner circle of advisers–that shaped Jackson’s private world through years of storm and victory. One of our most significant yet dimly recalled presidents, Jackson was a battle-hardened warrior, the founder of the Democratic Party, and the architect of the presidency as we know it. His story is one of violence, sex, courage, and tragedy. With his powerful persona, his evident bravery, and his mystical connection to the people, Jackson moved the White House from the periphery of government to the center of national action, articulating a vision of change that challenged entrenched interests to heed the popular will–or face his formidable wrath. The greatest of the presidents who have followed Jackson in the White House–from Lincoln to Theodore Roosevelt to FDR to Truman–have found inspiration in his example, and virtue in his vision. Jackson was the most contradictory of men. The architect of the removal of Indians from their native lands, he was warmly sentimental and risked everything to give more power to ordinary citizens. He was, in short, a lot like his country: alternately kind and vicious, brilliant and blind; and a man who fought a lifelong war to keep the republic safe–no matter what it took. Jon Meacham in American Lion has delivered the definitive human portrait of a pivotal president who forever changed the American presidency–and America itself.

Here he examines the ultimate battle in that centuries-long war, which found Europe at its most vulnerable and Islam on the attack. This drama was propelled by two astonishing young sovereigns: Holy Roman Emperor Charles V and Turkish sultan Suleyman the Magnificent. Though they represented two colliding worlds, they were remarkably similar. Each was a poet and cultured cosmopolitan; each was the most powerful man on his continent; each was called “Defender of the Faith”; and each faced strident religious rebellion in his domain. Charles was beset by the “heresy” of Martin Luther and his fervid adherents, even while tensions between him and the pope threatened to boil over, and the upstart French king Francis I harried Charles’s realm by land and sea. Suleyman was hardly more comfortable on his throne. He had earned his crown by avoiding the grim Ottoman tradition of royal fratricide. Shiites in the East were fighting off the Sunni Turks’ cruel repression of their “heresy.” The ferocity and skill of Suleyman’s Janissaries had expanded the Ottoman Empire to its greatest extent ever, but these slave soldiers became rebellious when foreign wars did not engage them. With Europe newly hobbled and the Turks suffused with restless vigor, the stage was set for a drama that unfolded from Hungary to Rhodes and ultimately to Vienna itself, which both sides thought the Turks could win.

During these same years, Europe was roiled by constant internal tumult that saw, among other spectacles, the Diet of Worms, the Sack of Rome, and an actual wrestling match between the English and French monarchs in which Henry VIII’s pride was badly hurt.

In his Amazon.com interview, McCullough explains why he turned in his new book from the political battles of the Revolution to the battles on the ground, and he marvels at some of his favorite young citizen soldiers who fought alongside the remarkable General Washington.","From Publishers Weekly Starred Review. Bestselling historian and two-time Pulitzer winner McCullough follows up John Adams by staying with America's founding, focusing on a year rather than an individual: a momentous 12 months in the fight for independence. How did a group of ragtag farmers defeat the world's greatest empire? As McCullough vividly shows, they did it with a great deal of suffering, determination, ingenuity—and, the author notes, luck.Although brief by McCullough's standards, this is a narrative tour de force, exhibiting all the hallmarks the author is known for: fascinating subject matter, expert research and detailed, graceful prose. Throughout, McCullough deftly captures both sides of the conflict. The British commander, Lord General Howe, perhaps not fully accepting that the rebellion could succeed, underestimated the Americans' ingenuity. In turn, the outclassed Americans used the cover of night, surprise and an abiding hunger for victory to astonishing effect. Henry Knox, for example, trekked 300 miles each way over harsh winter terrain to bring 120,000 pounds of artillery from Fort Ticonderoga to Boston, enabling the Americans, in a stealthy nighttime advance, to seize Dorchester Heights, thus winning the whole city.Luck, McCullough writes, also played into the American cause—a vicious winter storm, for example, stalled a British counterattack at Boston, and twice Washington staged improbable, daring escapes when the war could have been lost. Similarly, McCullough says, the cruel northeaster in which Washington's troops famously crossed the Delaware was both ""a blessing and a curse."" McCullough keenly renders the harshness of the elements, the rampant disease and the constant supply shortfalls, from gunpowder to food, that affected morale on both sides—and it certainly didn't help the British that it took six weeks to relay news to and from London. Simply put, this is history writing at its best from one of its top practitioners.",GBP 26.89,9780743226714,0743226712 read,2009-04-20T18:35:18Z,14,8.2,Charles Dickens,Paperback,608,Wordsworth Editions,The Old Curiosity Shop,https://book.douban.com/subject/1576037/,,"The Old Curiosity Shop (1840-41), with its combination of the sentimental, the grotesque and the socially concerned, and its story of pursuit and courage, which sets the downtrodden and the plucky against the malevolent and the villainous, was an immediate popular success.

Virgil's Aeneid is as eternal as Rome itself, a sweeping epic of arms and heroism--the searching portrait of a man caught between love and duty, human feeling and the force of fate--that has influenced writers for over 2,000 years. Filled with drama, passion, and the universal pathos that only a masterpiece can express. The Aeneid is a book for all the time and all people.

W. Knox ""Mandelbaum has... given us a contemporary experience of the masterpiece, at last."" -- David Ignatow About the Author Throughout his life Virgil was a poet and as far as we know had no interest in pursuing any other career. He was born Publius Vergilius Maro in 70 BC near Mantua, in what now is northern Italy. His parents, farm owners, were people of property and substance, if not wealth, and were able to obtain for their son a first-rate education. On completing his education, he returned home and possibly began work on the Eclogues, which appeared between the years of 42 and 37 BC. In 41 BC, the Emperor Octavian (later known as Augustus) confiscated Virgil's family's property, and Virgil was obliged to travel to Rome to negotiate for its return. Fortunately for Virgil, one of the officials secured for him an introduction to the emperor; not only was his land returned, but he also met Octavian's confidant Maecenas, who became Virgil's patron for the rest of his life. An industrious, meticulous writer, Virgil was not prolific. In addition to the ten Eclogues, which apparently took at least five years to publish, Virgil wrote the four Georgics, which took seven years, and the Aeneid, his great masterwork. Virgil worked on the Aeneid for eleven years, until his death in 19 BC. Feeling, apparently, that the epic was still unfinished, he directed in his will that the manuscript be destroyed. To the great fortune of succeeding generations, the emperor, Virgil's most prominent friend and admirer, intervened to countermand this provision. He turned the manuscript over to two of Virgil's friends, Varius and Tucca, to edit only obvious errors and repetitions, without adding to the text. The result of their work is the beautiful and brilliant Aeneid we have today. Allen Mendelbaum's five verse volumes are: Chelmaxions; The Savantasse of Montparnasse; Journeyman; Leaves of Absence; and A Lied of Letterpress. His volumes of verse translation include The Aeneid of Virgil, a University of California Press volume (now available from Bantam) for which he won a National Book Award; the Inferno, Purgatorio, and Paradiso volumes of the California Dante (now available from Bantam); The Odyssey of Homer (now available from Bantam); The Metamorphoses of Ovid, a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in poetry; Ovid in Sicily; Selected Poems of Giuseppe Ungaretti; Selected Writings of Salvatore Quasimodo; and David Maria Turoldo. Mandelbaum is co-editor with Robert Richardson Jr. of Three Centuries of American Poetry (Bantam Books) and, with Yehuda Amichai, of the eight volumes of the JPS Jewish Poetry Series. After receiving his Ph.D. from Columbia, he was in the Society of Fellows at Harvard. While chairman of the Ph.D. program in English at the Graduate Center of CUNY, he was a visiting professor at Washington University in St. Louis, and at the universities of Houston, Denver, Colorado, and Purdue. His honorary degrees are from Notre Dame University, Purdue University, the University of Assino, and the University of Torino. He received the Gold Medal of Honor from the city of Florence in 2000, celebrating the 735th anniversary of Dante's birth, the only translator to be so honored; and in 2003 he received the President of Italy's award for translation. He is now Professor of the History of Literary Criticism at the University of Turin and the W.R. Kenan Professor of Humanities at Wake Forest University.

The Confederate Army of Northern Virginia is invading the North. General Robert E. Lee has made this daring and massive move with seventy thousand men in a determined effort to draw out the Union Army of the Potomac and mortally wound it. His right hand is General James Longstreet, a brooding man who is loyal to Lee but stubbornly argues against his plan. Opposing them is an unknown factor: General George Meade, who has taken command of the Army only two days before what will be perhaps the crucial battle of the Civil War.

The annual Nobel Prize winner in that field never receives as much publicity as his or her compatriots in peace, literature, or physics. But if such slights are based on the notion that economics is dull, or that economists are concerned only with finance itself, Steven D. Levitt will change some minds. In Freakonomics (written with Stephen J. Dubner), Levitt argues that many apparent mysteries of everyday life don't need to be so mysterious: they could be illuminated and made even more fascinating by asking the right questions and drawing connections. For example, Levitt traces the drop in violent crime rates to a drop in violent criminals and, digging further, to the Roe v. Wade decision that preempted the existence of some people who would be born to poverty and hardship. Elsewhere, by analyzing data gathered from inner-city Chicago drug-dealing gangs, Levitt outlines a corporate structure much like McDonald's, where the top bosses make great money while scores of underlings make something below minimum wage. And in a section that may alarm or relieve worried parents, Levitt argues that parenting methods don't really matter much and that a backyard swimming pool is much more dangerous than a gun. These enlightening chapters are separated by effusive passages from Dubner's 2003 profile of Levitt in The New York Times Magazine, which led to the book being written. In a book filled with bold logic, such back-patting veers Freakonomics, however briefly, away from what Levitt actually has to say.

The author seeks to dispels the doubts that chance is an expression of our ignorance which makes accurate prediction impossible and illustrates how our thinking has changed with quantification of uncertainty by showing that chance is no longer the obstructor but a way of expressing our knowledge. Indeed, chance can create and help in the investigation of truth. This theory is eloquently demonstrated with numerous examples of applications that statistics is the science, technology and art of extracting information from data and is based on a study of the laws of chance. It shows how statistical ideas played a vital role in scientific and other investigations even before statistics was recognized as a separate discipline, and how statistics is now evolving as a versatile, powerful and inevitable tool in diverse fields of human endeavour such as literature, legal matters, industry, archaeology and medicine. The use of statistics to the layman in improving the quality of life through wise decision-making is emphasized.",USD 52.00,9789810231118,9810231113 read,2009-02-01T17:59:28Z,9262,9.1,,平装,NA,少年儿童出版社,十万个为什么,https://book.douban.com/subject/2160556/,暂缺,内容包括天文、地理、生物、医学、物理、化学、数学、文学……包罗万象。是了解这个世界各种现象的通天大道。,,,SH13024-22 read,2009-01-28T19:56:58Z,27,7.4,左拉,平装,288,人民文学出版社,爱情一叶,https://book.douban.com/subject/1205536/,埃米尔•左拉(Émile Zola,1840—1902),19世纪后半期法国重要的批判现实主义作家,自然主义文学理论的主要倡导者。他主张以科学实验方法从事文学创作,按生物学定律描写人,无动于衷地记录现实生活的一切方面。他强调深入体察社会,大量掌握生活素材,一生写成数十部长篇小说,代表作为《卢贡—马卡尔家族》系列作品,《娜娜》《萌芽》等。,"埃莱娜是名寡妇,她的爱女雅娜体弱多病,在雅娜一次疾病发作时,亨利医生让其起死回生。在照料雅娜的过程中,埃莱娜和亨利也互生情愫,但亨利其实是有妇之夫,他们的理性没有战胜对彼此的情欲。最终雅娜还是急病夭亡,埃莱娜认为这是上帝对其行为的惩罚,于是结束了这段情感再婚后离开巴黎,在无尽的悔恨和回忆中度过余生。 左拉是十九世纪后半期法国重要的批判现实主义作家,以及自然主义文学流派的领袖。这部《爱情一叶》和他其他真实再现当时社会环境和社会矛盾的作品不同,这是“一些崭新的东西”。根据左拉自己的说法,在《小酒店》《娜娜》出版之间,他需要一次感情上的“幕间休息”,“希望在一位正派女人身上挖掘一种情欲冲动,一种爱情,它骤然来了,又不留痕迹地过去了”。我们似乎可以看到一个隐蔽的左拉,一个浪漫主义的左拉,但我们同样也能看到作品中潜伏着的左拉其他小说中的深沉力量。",45.00,9787806572276,7806572279 read,2009-01-23T10:52:54Z,16,7.4,KARL,简裝本,318,高等教育出版社,产品设计与开发,https://book.douban.com/subject/1671766/,,"《产品设计与开发(第3版)(翻译版)》原版是由宾夕法尼亚大学沃顿商学院副教授Karl T.Ulrich与麻省理工学院斯隆管理学院教授Steven D.Eppinger合作编写,由湖南大学詹涵菁翻译为中文版。《产品设计与开发(第3版)(翻译版)》将市场研究,工业设计、生产制造三方面有机地贯穿为一体,为产品的设计与开发提供了一条清晰而完整的思路,对全面理解产品的设计与开发过程有十分重要的意义。书中的每一种理论和方法均有具体的实例来加以说明,使原来枯燥乏味的理论阐述变得生动形象。《产品设计与开发(第3版)(翻译版)》可作为工业设计专业产品开发与设计课程的教材,也可作为机械及电气信息类等工程专业,MBA和设计管理方向研究生的教材。 为了满足双语教学的需要,《产品设计与开发(第3版)(翻译版)》的影印版也由高等教育出版社出版。",26.30元,9787040166057,7040166054 read,2009-01-23T10:52:35Z,3,0.0,迈克尔E.哈特斯利,简裝本,316,机械工业出版社,管理沟通,https://book.douban.com/subject/1256297/,,"所有管理者都必须有效沟通才能成功,哈特斯利和麦克詹妮特合著的《管理沟通:原理与实践》正是您的首选,其涵盖内容远远超出有效的演说和协作等核心技能。本教科书把学生置于在现实商务与管理情境中的决策制定者与沟通者的地位。本书特点是:(1)内容完整,包括电子沟通、公司道德、受众分析、跨文化沟通等;(2)更新了案例,为学生提供实战锻炼的机会;(3)各章目标提前,便于学生切实把握目标的重要性。 本书适合于高年级本科生和MBA学生,也可供商务和企业管理人员参考。",37.00元,9787111149972,7111149971 wish,2009-01-21T11:21:50Z,49,8.1,Philip Roth,Hardcover,192,Houghton Mifflin,Everyman,https://book.douban.com/subject/1765630/,,"""I'm thirty-four! Worry about oblivion, he told himself, when you're seventy-five."" Philip Roth's new novel is a fiercely intimate yet universal story of loss, regret, and stoicism. The best-selling author of The Plot Against America now turns his attention from ""one family's harrowing encounter with history"" (New York Times) to one man's lifelong confrontation with mortality. Roth's everyman is a hero whose youthful sense of independence and confidence begins to be challenged when illness commences its attack in middle age. A successful commercial advertising artist, he is the father of two sons who despise him and a daughter who adores him. He is the brother of a good man whose physical well-being comes to arouse his bitter envy. He is the lonely ex-husband of three very different women with whom he has made a mess of marriage. Inevitably, he discovers that he has become what he does not want to be. Roth has been hailed as ""the most compelling of living writers . . . [His] every book is like a dispatch from the deepest recesses of the national mind.""* In Everyman, Roth once again displays his hallmark incisiveness. From his first glimpse of death on the idyllic beaches of his childhood summers, through his vigorous, seemingly invincible prime, Roth's hero is a man bewildered not only by his own decline but by the unimaginable deaths of his contemporaries and those he has loved.

The adventures and misfortunes on the Thames of the three English friends and their pugnacious dog, Montmorency, provide rich humour, shrewd observations, lyrical reflections, and, predominantly, genially ironic perceptions of human fallibility.

Verne,1828.2.8~1905.3.25)生于法国西部海港南特,他在构成市区一部分的劳阿尔河上的菲伊德岛生活学习到中学毕业。父亲是位颇为成功的律师,一心希望子承父业。但是凡尔纳自幼热爱海洋,向往远航探险。11岁时,他曾志愿上船当见习生,远航印度,结果被家人发现接回了家。为此凡尔纳挨了一顿狠揍,并躺在床上流着泪保证:“以后保证只躺在床上在幻想中旅行。”也许正是由于这一童年的经历,客观上促使凡尔纳一生驰骋于幻想之中,创作出如此众多的著名科幻作品。 18岁时,他遵父嘱,去巴黎攻读法律,可是他对法律毫无兴趣,却爱上了文学和戏剧。一次,凡尔纳自一场晚会早退,下楼时他忽然童心大发,沿楼梯扶手悠然滑下,不想正撞在一位胖绅士身上。凡尔纳非常尴尬,道歉之后随口询问对方吃饭没有,对方回答说刚吃过南特炒鸡蛋。凡尔纳听罢摇头,声称巴黎根本没有正宗的南特炒鸡蛋,因为他即南特人而且拿手此菜。胖绅士闻言大喜,诚邀凡尔纳登门献艺。二人友谊从此开始,并一度合写戏剧,为凡尔纳走上创作之路创造了有利条件。这位胖绅士的名字是大仲马。毕业后,他更是一门心思投入诗歌和戏剧的创作,为此不仅受到父亲的严厉训斥,并失去了父亲的经济资助。他不得不在贫困中奋斗,以读书为乐。他十分欣赏雨果、巴尔扎克、大仲马和英国的莎士比亚。在巴黎,他创作了20个剧本(未出版)和一些充满浪漫激情的诗歌。 后来,凡尔纳与大仲马合作创作了剧本《折断的麦秆》并得以上演,这标志着凡尔纳在文学界取得了初步的成功。在继续创作的过程中,凡尔纳感到文学创作似乎缺乏出路,而且他发现当时文坛上的人都在找出路,都在试图把其他领域的知识融进戏剧。比如大仲马是将历史学融进文学,而巴尔扎克则把社会伦理学融进文学……这时凡尔纳发现,只剩下地理学还没有被开发。 于是凡尔纳利用一年的时间进行试验,创作出《冰川上面过冬》等作品,但未发表。 1856年,凡尔纳乘火车来到北部城市亚眠,遇到一名带着两个孩子的漂亮寡妇,一见钟情并求婚,继而结婚。接着凡尔纳搬家过去,从此开始认真创作。其时29岁。 凡尔纳创作出《气球上的五星期》后,16家出版社无人理睬,愤然投入火中,被妻子抢救出来,送入第17家出版社后被出版。赏识此书的编辑叫赫茨尔,从此凡尔纳遇到了知音,与之结下终身友谊。黑格尔与凡尔纳签订合同,一年为其出版两本科幻小说。 《气球上的五星期》出版之后,凡尔纳的创作进入了一个多方面的探索时期,他试验多种写法,朝多种方向进行探索,一发不可收拾。每年出版两本,总标题为《奇异的旅行》,包括《地心游记》《从地球到月球》《环绕月球》《海底两万里》《神秘岛》等等,囊括了陆地、海洋和天空……此后探索停止,开始成熟,进入平稳的发展时期,创作出《80天环绕地球》《太阳系历险记》《两年假期》等优秀作品。随着声望的增高,凡尔纳的财富也在迅速增长。 凡尔纳的晚年不是十分幸福,创作减少并进入衰弱期,其《卡尔巴阡的古堡》有一定的自传性,表现了生活中隐秘的侧面。 1905年3月17日凡尔纳出现偏瘫,24日失去知觉,25日晨8:00去世。 1905年3月28日大出殡,全世界纷纷电唁,悼念这位伟大的科幻作家。 凡尔纳的故事生动幽默,妙语横生,又能激发人们尤其是青少年热爱科学、向往探险的热情,所以一百多年来,一直受到世界各地读者的欢迎。据联合国教科文组织的资料表明,凡尔纳是世界上被翻译的作品最多的十大名家之一。 凡尔纳是一个非常优秀的通俗小说作家,有一种能够把自己的幻觉变得能够触摸的本领,其感觉是全方位的,从平淡的文学中传达出某种人类的热情。但凡尔纳的小说中人物除了少数几个外都是一模一样的,他似乎塑造不出更重要的人物,人物都是脸谱化的简单的好人坏人,没有什么心理活动;从其作品人物性别单一化上还可看出他对女人的偏见,隐隐流露出深受其苦的心态。此外凡尔纳的作品中充满了明显的社会倾向,是一个爱国者(法国人最好)、民族解放主义者(支持被压迫民族斗争),在某种程度上是一个无政府主义者(从某些作品中表现出无秩序者),最后还是一个银河帝国主义者(有缔造宇宙帝国的欲望)。 凡尔纳的作品里充满了知识,但他本人却是一名宇宙神秘主义者,对世界有一种神秘的崇拜。在他的小说中,有时候思考问题不够深刻,主题也常常重复。 但总的来说,凡尔纳的尝试仍然是伟大的。他写的虽然都是平凡小事,但读后仍使我们激动不已。正如1884年教皇在接见他时曾说:“我并不是不知道您的作品的科学价值,但我最珍重的却是它们的纯洁、道德价值和精神力量。” 儒勒·凡尔纳作品集 《八十天环游地球》 《海底两万里》

《迎着三色旗》","《气球上的五星期》是法国著名作家儒勒·凡尔纳的第一部科幻长篇小说,也是他的成名作。十九世纪上半叶,许多探险家、地理学家、旅行家对非洲这片广袤的大陆进行了艰辛的探险,留下了许多珍贵的资料和地图。但是由于自然的障碍和人为的困难,都无法深入非洲内地。英国探险旅行家弗格森博士决定针对前人探险的成果,对非洲地区的未知地带再次进行考察。他想出个大胆的计划,乘气球横越非洲。旅行的一切准备工作做好了,费尔久逊博士带着他的朋友凯乃第和仆人乔,从非洲东岸桑给巴尔出发,经过五星期劳累和惊险的生活,终于横贯非洲大陆到达非洲西岸法国在塞内加尔河的属地,从而完成了前人未竞的探险行程。 书中对非洲大陆的风景描写十分生动细腻,高山大海、沼泽洼地、沙漠河流,还有火山等热带地貌在小说中全部都有所涉及;猴面包树、无花果树、金合欢树、罗望子树等热带植物真是千奇百怪;大象、河马、鳄鱼、秃鹫、豹子、鬣狗等热带动物应有尽有,还有与野人、猴子斗智斗勇的惊心动魄的场面,这些都不禁使人浮想联翩,产生去非洲冒险旅行的冲动。 热气球是他们乘坐的交通工具,即使对今天的中国读者来说,它也是一个比较陌生的事物,而书中主人公早在19世纪上半叶已经想到了用它来当做探险的工具,更有趣的是,作者连气球的复杂结构也通过主人公详细地介绍给了读者,可见该书作者广博的知识和极其丰富的想像力。新奇的交通工具加上美丽的风景增添了该书的趣味性。 书中也体现了人与人之间的友谊和关怀:三位旅行家曾经不顾生命危险救了一位法国传教士;当气球快要坠入乍得湖的时候,为了让气球再次升起来,乔奋不顾身地跳入湖中,挽救了两位同伴的性命;而当乔在撒哈拉大沙漠逃命的时候,肯尼迪的一枪也将乔从野蛮民族那里挽救了回来。这种互爱互助的精神在当今个性张扬的时代是非常值得我们珍惜和发扬的。 《气球上的五星期》创作完后,凡尔纳先后给十六家出版社投稿,然而却无人欣赏他的作品,他愤然将书稿投入火中,被妻子及时抢救了出来,书稿送入第十七家出版社后才被接受。赏识此书的编辑叫赫茨尔,从此凡尔纳遇到了知音,与之结下终身友谊。这部小说充分展现了凡尔纳高超的写作技巧、极其丰富的知识和收集资料的非凡能力。",6.40,9787500609032,7500609035

1934年大学毕业后,他一边留校工作,一边为一些哲学杂志撰稿。他先后在宗教基金部、文化指导部等政府部门任职,曾任文学艺术最高理事会理事、电影局局长和文化部顾问。1970年退休后,他进入《金字塔报》编委会,任该报专职作家。 本世纪20-30年代的埃及正处于反帝爱国斗争的革命风暴之中,在家庭与社会的影响下,马哈福兹从一开始创作,便以明确的历史责任感,承担起了一个正直作家的责任。他最初发表的三部历史小说《命运的嘲弄》、《阿杜比斯》、《埃伊拜之战》都是表现爱国主义的。 40-50年代是马哈福兹现实主义创作阶段,发表了四部揭露社会黑暗、呼吁社会变革的小说《新开罗》、《赫利市场》、《梅达格胡同》、《始未记》。标志着他小说创作顶峰的三部曲:《宫间街》、《思宫街》、《甘露街》被公认为阿拉伯小说史上的里程碑。此后他还发表了《小偷与狗》、《道路》、《乞丐》、《尼罗河上的絮语》、《平民史诗》等作品。 他曾多次声明自己信仰社会主义和科学,提倡以科学反对宗教迷信,强调人要进行自我净化。 1970年获国家文学表彰奖,1988年获埃及最高奖赏——尼罗河勋章。1988年10月获诺贝尔文学奖,成为阿拉伯世界第一个获得此奖的人。","历史三部曲是诺贝尔文学奖获得者马哈福兹早期的重要作品.

Verne,1828.2.8~1905.3.25)生于法国西部海港南特,他在构成市区一部分的劳阿尔河上的菲伊德岛生活学习到中学毕业。父亲是位颇为成功的律师,一心希望子承父业。但是凡尔纳自幼热爱海洋,向往远航探险。11岁时,他曾志愿上船当见习生,远航印度,结果被家人发现接回了家。为此凡尔纳挨了一顿狠揍,并躺在床上流着泪保证:“以后保证只躺在床上在幻想中旅行。”也许正是由于这一童年的经历,客观上促使凡尔纳一生驰骋于幻想之中,创作出如此众多的著名科幻作品。 18岁时,他遵父嘱,去巴黎攻读法律,可是他对法律毫无兴趣,却爱上了文学和戏剧。一次,凡尔纳自一场晚会早退,下楼时他忽然童心大发,沿楼梯扶手悠然滑下,不想正撞在一位胖绅士身上。凡尔纳非常尴尬,道歉之后随口询问对方吃饭没有,对方回答说刚吃过南特炒鸡蛋。凡尔纳听罢摇头,声称巴黎根本没有正宗的南特炒鸡蛋,因为他即南特人而且拿手此菜。胖绅士闻言大喜,诚邀凡尔纳登门献艺。二人友谊从此开始,并一度合写戏剧,为凡尔纳走上创作之路创造了有利条件。这位胖绅士的名字是大仲马。毕业后,他更是一门心思投入诗歌和戏剧的创作,为此不仅受到父亲的严厉训斥,并失去了父亲的经济资助。他不得不在贫困中奋斗,以读书为乐。他十分欣赏雨果、巴尔扎克、大仲马和英国的莎士比亚。在巴黎,他创作了20个剧本(未出版)和一些充满浪漫激情的诗歌。 后来,凡尔纳与大仲马合作创作了剧本《折断的麦秆》并得以上演,这标志着凡尔纳在文学界取得了初步的成功。在继续创作的过程中,凡尔纳感到文学创作似乎缺乏出路,而且他发现当时文坛上的人都在找出路,都在试图把其他领域的知识融进戏剧。比如大仲马是将历史学融进文学,而巴尔扎克则把社会伦理学融进文学……这时凡尔纳发现,只剩下地理学还没有被开发。 于是凡尔纳利用一年的时间进行试验,创作出《冰川上面过冬》等作品,但未发表。 1856年,凡尔纳乘火车来到北部城市亚眠,遇到一名带着两个孩子的漂亮寡妇,一见钟情并求婚,继而结婚。接着凡尔纳搬家过去,从此开始认真创作。其时29岁。 凡尔纳创作出《气球上的五星期》后,16家出版社无人理睬,愤然投入火中,被妻子抢救出来,送入第17家出版社后被出版。赏识此书的编辑叫赫茨尔,从此凡尔纳遇到了知音,与之结下终身友谊。黑格尔与凡尔纳签订合同,一年为其出版两本科幻小说。 《气球上的五星期》出版之后,凡尔纳的创作进入了一个多方面的探索时期,他试验多种写法,朝多种方向进行探索,一发不可收拾。每年出版两本,总标题为《奇异的旅行》,包括《地心游记》《从地球到月球》《环绕月球》《海底两万里》《神秘岛》等等,囊括了陆地、海洋和天空……此后探索停止,开始成熟,进入平稳的发展时期,创作出《80天环绕地球》《太阳系历险记》《两年假期》等优秀作品。随着声望的增高,凡尔纳的财富也在迅速增长。 凡尔纳的晚年不是十分幸福,创作减少并进入衰弱期,其《卡尔巴阡的古堡》有一定的自传性,表现了生活中隐秘的侧面。 1905年3月17日凡尔纳出现偏瘫,24日失去知觉,25日晨8:00去世。 1905年3月28日大出殡,全世界纷纷电唁,悼念这位伟大的科幻作家。 凡尔纳的故事生动幽默,妙语横生,又能激发人们尤其是青少年热爱科学、向往探险的热情,所以一百多年来,一直受到世界各地读者的欢迎。据联合国教科文组织的资料表明,凡尔纳是世界上被翻译的作品最多的十大名家之一。 凡尔纳是一个非常优秀的通俗小说作家,有一种能够把自己的幻觉变得能够触摸的本领,其感觉是全方位的,从平淡的文学中传达出某种人类的热情。但凡尔纳的小说中人物除了少数几个外都是一模一样的,他似乎塑造不出更重要的人物,人物都是脸谱化的简单的好人坏人,没有什么心理活动;从其作品人物性别单一化上还可看出他对女人的偏见,隐隐流露出深受其苦的心态。此外凡尔纳的作品中充满了明显的社会倾向,是一个爱国者(法国人最好)、民族解放主义者(支持被压迫民族斗争),在某种程度上是一个无政府主义者(从某些作品中表现出无秩序者),最后还是一个银河帝国主义者(有缔造宇宙帝国的欲望)。 凡尔纳的作品里充满了知识,但他本人却是一名宇宙神秘主义者,对世界有一种神秘的崇拜。在他的小说中,有时候思考问题不够深刻,主题也常常重复。 但总的来说,凡尔纳的尝试仍然是伟大的。他写的虽然都是平凡小事,但读后仍使我们激动不已。正如1884年教皇在接见他时曾说:“我并不是不知道您的作品的科学价值,但我最珍重的却是它们的纯洁、道德价值和精神力量。” 儒勒·凡尔纳作品集 《八十天环游地球》 《海底两万里》

凡尔纳的作品里充满了知识,但他本人却是一名宇宙神秘主义者,对世界有一种神秘的崇拜。在他的小说中,有时候思考问题不够深刻,主题也常常重复。 但总的来说,凡尔纳的尝试仍然是伟大的。他写的虽然都是平凡小事,但读后仍使我们激动不已。正如1884年教皇在接见他时曾说:“我并不是不知道您的作品的科学价值,但我最珍重的却是它们的纯洁、道德价值和精神力量。” 儒勒·凡尔纳作品集 《八十天环游地球》 《海底两万里》

Verne,1828.2.8~1905.3.25)生于法国西部海港南特,他在构成市区一部分的劳阿尔河上的菲伊德岛生活学习到中学毕业。父亲是位颇为成功的律师,一心希望子承父业。但是凡尔纳自幼热爱海洋,向往远航探险。11岁时,他曾志愿上船当见习生,远航印度,结果被家人发现接回了家。为此凡尔纳挨了一顿狠揍,并躺在床上流着泪保证:“以后保证只躺在床上在幻想中旅行。”也许正是由于这一童年的经历,客观上促使凡尔纳一生驰骋于幻想之中,创作出如此众多的著名科幻作品。 18岁时,他遵父嘱,去巴黎攻读法律,可是他对法律毫无兴趣,却爱上了文学和戏剧。一次,凡尔纳自一场晚会早退,下楼时他忽然童心大发,沿楼梯扶手悠然滑下,不想正撞在一位胖绅士身上。凡尔纳非常尴尬,道歉之后随口询问对方吃饭没有,对方回答说刚吃过南特炒鸡蛋。凡尔纳听罢摇头,声称巴黎根本没有正宗的南特炒鸡蛋,因为他即南特人而且拿手此菜。胖绅士闻言大喜,诚邀凡尔纳登门献艺。二人友谊从此开始,并一度合写戏剧,为凡尔纳走上创作之路创造了有利条件。这位胖绅士的名字是大仲马。毕业后,他更是一门心思投入诗歌和戏剧的创作,为此不仅受到父亲的严厉训斥,并失去了父亲的经济资助。他不得不在贫困中奋斗,以读书为乐。他十分欣赏雨果、巴尔扎克、大仲马和英国的莎士比亚。在巴黎,他创作了20个剧本(未出版)和一些充满浪漫激情的诗歌。 后来,凡尔纳与大仲马合作创作了剧本《折断的麦秆》并得以上演,这标志着凡尔纳在文学界取得了初步的成功。在继续创作的过程中,凡尔纳感到文学创作似乎缺乏出路,而且他发现当时文坛上的人都在找出路,都在试图把其他领域的知识融进戏剧。比如大仲马是将历史学融进文学,而巴尔扎克则把社会伦理学融进文学……这时凡尔纳发现,只剩下地理学还没有被开发。 于是凡尔纳利用一年的时间进行试验,创作出《冰川上面过冬》等作品,但未发表。 1856年,凡尔纳乘火车来到北部城市亚眠,遇到一名带着两个孩子的漂亮寡妇,一见钟情并求婚,继而结婚。接着凡尔纳搬家过去,从此开始认真创作。其时29岁。 凡尔纳创作出《气球上的五星期》后,16家出版社无人理睬,愤然投入火中,被妻子抢救出来,送入第17家出版社后被出版。赏识此书的编辑叫赫茨尔,从此凡尔纳遇到了知音,与之结下终身友谊。黑格尔与凡尔纳签订合同,一年为其出版两本科幻小说。 《气球上的五星期》出版之后,凡尔纳的创作进入了一个多方面的探索时期,他试验多种写法,朝多种方向进行探索,一发不可收拾。每年出版两本,总标题为《奇异的旅行》,包括《地心游记》《从地球到月球》《环绕月球》《海底两万里》《神秘岛》等等,囊括了陆地、海洋和天空……此后探索停止,开始成熟,进入平稳的发展时期,创作出《80天环绕地球》《太阳系历险记》《两年假期》等优秀作品。随着声望的增高,凡尔纳的财富也在迅速增长。 凡尔纳的晚年不是十分幸福,创作减少并进入衰弱期,其《卡尔巴阡的古堡》有一定的自传性,表现了生活中隐秘的侧面。 1905年3月17日凡尔纳出现偏瘫,24日失去知觉,25日晨8:00去世。 1905年3月28日大出殡,全世界纷纷电唁,悼念这位伟大的科幻作家。 凡尔纳的故事生动幽默,妙语横生,又能激发人们尤其是青少年热爱科学、向往探险的热情,所以一百多年来,一直受到世界各地读者的欢迎。据联合国教科文组织的资料表明,凡尔纳是世界上被翻译的作品最多的十大名家之一。 凡尔纳是一个非常优秀的通俗小说作家,有一种能够把自己的幻觉变得能够触摸的本领,其感觉是全方位的,从平淡的文学中传达出某种人类的热情。但凡尔纳的小说中人物除了少数几个外都是一模一样的,他似乎塑造不出更重要的人物,人物都是脸谱化的简单的好人坏人,没有什么心理活动;从其作品人物性别单一化上还可看出他对女人的偏见,隐隐流露出深受其苦的心态。此外凡尔纳的作品中充满了明显的社会倾向,是一个爱国者(法国人最好)、民族解放主义者(支持被压迫民族斗争),在某种程度上是一个无政府主义者(从某些作品中表现出无秩序者),最后还是一个银河帝国主义者(有缔造宇宙帝国的欲望)。

“嗨,这已经是老事了,信纸都被海水给侵蚀了,说不定人都已经死了,我们还为什么要卖力去就一个生死未卜的人呢?”我承认,如果是我,我也不一定会像这群勇敢的人们,为了一个素不相识的人而放弃一切踏上这条旅程。这是一种精神,虽然这个故事是作者虚构的,但每一个故事的灵魂都是要告诉人们一些我们知道,但不一定能够办到的精神…… 格兰特船长会得救吗?这群勇敢的志者会遇到危险吗?大家会不会中途放弃呢?这一切的一切都是一个未知……而我们的人生,不也是等待着一个一个未知的成功与失败的到来吗……",28.40,9787500608837,7500608837

Verne,1828.2.8~1905.3.25)生于法国西部海港南特,他在构成市区一部分的劳阿尔河上的菲伊德岛生活学习到中学毕业。父亲是位颇为成功的律师,一心希望子承父业。但是凡尔纳自幼热爱海洋,向往远航探险。11岁时,他曾志愿上船当见习生,远航印度,结果被家人发现接回了家。为此凡尔纳挨了一顿狠揍,并躺在床上流着泪保证:“以后保证只躺在床上在幻想中旅行。”也许正是由于这一童年的经历,客观上促使凡尔纳一生驰骋于幻想之中,创作出如此众多的著名科幻作品。 18岁时,他遵父嘱,去巴黎攻读法律,可是他对法律毫无兴趣,却爱上了文学和戏剧。一次,凡尔纳自一场晚会早退,下楼时他忽然童心大发,沿楼梯扶手悠然滑下,不想正撞在一位胖绅士身上。凡尔纳非常尴尬,道歉之后随口询问对方吃饭没有,对方回答说刚吃过南特炒鸡蛋。凡尔纳听罢摇头,声称巴黎根本没有正宗的南特炒鸡蛋,因为他即南特人而且拿手此菜。胖绅士闻言大喜,诚邀凡尔纳登门献艺。二人友谊从此开始,并一度合写戏剧,为凡尔纳走上创作之路创造了有利条件。这位胖绅士的名字是大仲马。毕业后,他更是一门心思投入诗歌和戏剧的创作,为此不仅受到父亲的严厉训斥,并失去了父亲的经济资助。他不得不在贫困中奋斗,以读书为乐。他十分欣赏雨果、巴尔扎克、大仲马和英国的莎士比亚。在巴黎,他创作了20个剧本(未出版)和一些充满浪漫激情的诗歌。 后来,凡尔纳与大仲马合作创作了剧本《折断的麦秆》并得以上演,这标志着凡尔纳在文学界取得了初步的成功。在继续创作的过程中,凡尔纳感到文学创作似乎缺乏出路,而且他发现当时文坛上的人都在找出路,都在试图把其他领域的知识融进戏剧。比如大仲马是将历史学融进文学,而巴尔扎克则把社会伦理学融进文学……这时凡尔纳发现,只剩下地理学还没有被开发。 于是凡尔纳利用一年的时间进行试验,创作出《冰川上面过冬》等作品,但未发表。 1856年,凡尔纳乘火车来到北部城市亚眠,遇到一名带着两个孩子的漂亮寡妇,一见钟情并求婚,继而结婚。接着凡尔纳搬家过去,从此开始认真创作。其时29岁。 凡尔纳创作出《气球上的五星期》后,16家出版社无人理睬,愤然投入火中,被妻子抢救出来,送入第17家出版社后被出版。赏识此书的编辑叫赫茨尔,从此凡尔纳遇到了知音,与之结下终身友谊。黑格尔与凡尔纳签订合同,一年为其出版两本科幻小说。 《气球上的五星期》出版之后,凡尔纳的创作进入了一个多方面的探索时期,他试验多种写法,朝多种方向进行探索,一发不可收拾。每年出版两本,总标题为《奇异的旅行》,包括《地心游记》《从地球到月球》《环绕月球》《海底两万里》《神秘岛》等等,囊括了陆地、海洋和天空……此后探索停止,开始成熟,进入平稳的发展时期,创作出《80天环绕地球》《太阳系历险记》《两年假期》等优秀作品。随着声望的增高,凡尔纳的财富也在迅速增长。 凡尔纳的晚年不是十分幸福,创作减少并进入衰弱期,其《卡尔巴阡的古堡》有一定的自传性,表现了生活中隐秘的侧面。 1905年3月17日凡尔纳出现偏瘫,24日失去知觉,25日晨8:00去世。 1905年3月28日大出殡,全世界纷纷电唁,悼念这位伟大的科幻作家。

在这个世界中,北岛建立了自己的“理性法庭”,以理性和人性为准绳,重新确定人的价值,恢复人的本性;悼念烈士,审判刽子手;嘲讽怪异和异化的世界,反思历史和现实;呼唤人性的富贵,寻找“生命的湖”和红帆船”。清醒的思辨与直觉思维产生的隐喻、象征意象相结合,是北岛诗显著的艺术特征,具有高度概括力的悖论式警句,造成了北岛诗独有的振聋发聩的艺术力量。",《失败之书》是诗人北岛的散文集,这本散文是诗人在流浪的路上的一些采撷。诗人北岛说,散文和漂泊之间,按时髦的说法,有一种互文关系:散文是文字中的漂泊,而漂泊是地理与社会意义上的书写。在一九八九年到一九九三四年间,他曾住过七个国家,搬了十五次家,这就是一种散文语境。北岛自80年代末移居国外后,就开始了其漂泊的一生,在流浪中不断进行创作……,28.00,9787810368711,7810368710

伯林的一生极其丰富多彩,他曾任牛津沃尔夫森学院的首任院长,并任牛津多个学院的教授以及欧美各著名大学的客座教授、研究员;1974年至1978年则任英国皇家科学院的院长。他兴趣广泛,言锋锐利,是知识界著名的大谈家;他的好朋友有W. H. 奥登、斯蒂芬·斯彭德、斯特拉文斯基、纳米尔等人。 更富传奇色彩的是,二战期间他任职于英国政府,1942-1945年任驻华盛顿英国使馆一等秘书,1945-1946年则转任驻莫斯科英国使馆一等秘书;他回忆起在莫斯科的一年,特别提到那儿的“寒冷”,而且不能会见非经官方安排的友人。不过让他庆幸的是,他终于和阿赫玛托娃、帕斯捷尔纳克见上了面。后来,他在另一名篇《和俄国诗人的聚会》里生动地叙述了当时的场景。作为一个俄国出生的犹太人,以赛亚·伯林与美国俄裔作家E. 威尔逊、纳博科夫等人声气相通,一生推崇俄国诗歌和文学。为了维护帕斯捷尔纳克的文学声誉,他甚至给《泰晤士报》写出一封读者信,与一位抨击帕氏的评论家展开争论。 伯林的去世标志20世纪知识生活中最精彩的一页已成为过去。",这是一本根据伯林自己的回忆,以及与伯林长达十年的交谈写成的伯林生活传记。在晚年,与不同的仰慕者共同追忆自己的一生,几乎成了伯林的生活。他也从中体会到某些乐趣。这里呈现出的是个活生生的伯林。纪实性是这本《柏林传》的特点。它既不是门徒对大师言行的追忆,也不是从文献中重建出来的伯林,而是伯林所回忆的伯林。读者将看到的是一生没有克服自卑感的伯林,一个极有女人缘却因自卑而逃避并对她们造成伤害的伯林,一个通过与朋友的妻子私通才恢复自己在性方面自信的伯林,一个喜欢交响乐到了“实在没办法”的地步的伯林。有的地方显得像喜剧,有的地方却像传奇。他的苏联之行,他与阿赫玛托娃的彻夜长谈,她对他的期待,他的造访给她的生活乃至她的家庭造成的毁灭性影响,因他从她的生活中消失而产生的怨恨——这个深刻地改变了他的思考方向的人生插曲,被描述得极富悲剧性和传奇色彩。,19.20元,9787806572474,7806572473 read,2008-08-07T19:28:54Z,16,6.7,John Parker; Richard Rathbone,Paperback,184,OUP Oxford,African History,https://book.douban.com/subject/2445971/,,"Essential reading for anyone interested in the African continent and the diversity of human history, this ""Very Short Introduction"" looks at Africa's past and reflects on the changing ways it has been imagined and represented.

王国维幼年所接受的教育定传統的封建文化教育青年时代,在当时进步思想潮流影响下,王国维赞成维新变法,向西方国家寻求真理,努力学习西方哲学社会科学和自然科学。他以新学家的面目出现于思想界,信仰和介绍叔本华和康德的哲学思想和美学思想,尖锐地批评中国封建社会中占统治地位的传统文学观念。他把西方美学和文艺思想与中国古代美学和文艺思想融合起禾,把西方哲学社会科学的逻辑思辨方法与乾嘉学派的考据方法结合起来,进行美学和文艺理论以及中国古代戏曲艺术史研究。《人间词话》是他主要的美学和文艺理论著作(写于1908年)。他的《宋元戏曲考》是我国第一部古代戏曲艺术史专著(写于1912年)。戊戍变法失败后,王国维看不到前途和出路,政治上渐趋保守,辛亥  革命后更以前清遗老自居。他转而进行甲骨金石、经学史学研宄。由于他继承了清代乾嘉学派的优良学风并和近代科学方法结合起来。实事求是,精湛绵密,因而取得了辉煌成就。王国维成为蜚声中外的著名学者。可是,长期思想上的苦闷,生活上的困顿,以及长子去世、挚友绝交的刺激,再加上对北伐战争胜利的恐惧,终于导致昆明湖上的悲剧。他的才华和卓识并没有得到充分的施展,令人惋惜。 在中国文学史上,宋代是词的黄金时代,然而词学理论却大盛于清代。清代词论,分宗立派,名家辈出。在清代大量的词话中,《人间词话》以其见解之新颖、理论之独到,一直受到学术界的重视。概括地说,《人间词话》主要有以下四个特点。 首先,以境界说为中心构成了一个比较完整的理论体系。境界说包括境界的基本涵义、创造过程、形态种类和艺术表现诸方面。王国维说:“能写真景物、真感情者谓之有境界,否则谓之无境界。”否则谓之无境界。”真景物与真感情应该融为一体,做到“以景寓情”,“意与境浑”,“意境两忘,物我一体”。既写真景物又抒真感情,把逼真传神的写景和诚挚真切的抒情有机地统一起来,这就是境界的基本涵义。王国维说:“原夫文学之所以有意境者,以其能观也。”境界产生于诗人审美静观的过程中。“一切境界无不为诗人设。世无诗人,即无此种境界”。诗人的审美感情移情于审美对象,诗人的心境融入、浸透于物境之中,于是境界产生出来了。它似电光石火,稍纵即逝。只有具有敏锐艺术感觉的诗人才能捕捉住它,并且运用“不朽之文字”把它刻画出来,从而激起读者心灵的共鸣,“遂觉诗人之言,字字为我所欲言,而又非我之所能自言”。(《清真先生遗事》)按照境界构成材料的不同,王国维把境界区分为“造境”和“写境”两种不同的形态。“造境”即虚构之境。“写境”即写实之境。然而,“大诗人所造之境。必合乎自然”。“其材料必求之于自然,而其构造亦必从自然之法则”。仍然深深地植根于自然人生的土壤之中。大诗人“所写之境,亦必邻于理想”,因为“自然中之物,互相关系,互相限制。然其写之于文学及美术中也,必遗其关系限制之处”。也就是说,写实之境也不能照搬照抄自然人生,仍然要用诗人的审美理想来补充和改造自然人生。所以,境界既描写现实又表现理想,是理想和现实的统一。造境和写境取材虽有所侧重,但不能只取一端。这种观点从总体上说是相当精辟的。但是,王国维却把理想理解为先验的理念。按照境界构成方式的不同,王国维把境界区分为“有我之境”和“无我之境”两种不同的形态。“有我之境”,诗人作为感激激越的审美主体征服客体,从对象中反射自己,所以“物皆著我之色彩”。“无我之境”,诗人作为宁静澹泊的审美主体被客体所吸引,以致达到忘我的地步,主体似乎消失于客体之中,所以“不知何者为我,何者为物”。“无我”是从物我两忘、浑然一体的意义上说的。“有我之境”,强烈激越之情占主导地位,但情已外化为景。“无我之境”,赏心悦目之景占主导地位,但景后隐藏着情。两者都是情与景的统一然而统一的方式不同。关于境界的艺术表现,王国维提出了“不隔”的要求。“语语都在目前便是不隔”。“大家之作其言情也必沁人心脾,其写景也必豁人耳目,其辞脱口而出无矫揉妆束之态”。诗人抒发的真情感人肺腑,使人心潮激荡不能自已,诗人描绘的景物清晰地浮现于眼前。使人恍如身临其境,文辞仿佛是顺口而道、信手挥洒,并非刻意求工、雕章琢句。“不隔”就是要做到言情真切、写景鲜明和文辞自然的统一。境界说表现出王国维对于艺术的本质特征相当深刻的理解和把握,也是对中国美学和文艺理论的继承和发展。",本书主要围绕抒情与写景,理想与现实,有我与无我,诗品与人品,“入”与“出”,“因”与“创”的对立统一建构其整个理论体系,共分三部分,人间词话,人间词语删稿,人间词话附录。,7.00元,9787806263914,7806263918

You might think the problem is your brain. It seems to have a mind of its own, a mind that doesn't always want to take in the dry, technical stuff you're forced to study. The fact is your brain craves novelty. It's constantly searching, scanning, waiting for something unusual to happen. After all, that's the way it was built to help you stay alive. It takes all the routine, ordinary, dull stuff and filters it to the background so it won't interfere with your brain's real work--recording things that matter. How does your brain know what matters? It's like the creators of the Head First approach say, suppose you're out for a hike and a tiger jumps in front of you, what happens in your brain? Neurons fire. Emotions crank up. Chemicals surge. That's how your brain knows. And that's how your brain will learn Java. Head First Java combines puzzles, strong visuals, mysteries, and soul-searching interviews with famous Java objects to engage you in many different ways. It's fast, it's fun, and its effective. And, despite its playful appearance, Head First Java is serious stuff: a complete introduction to object-oriented programming and Java. You'll learn everything from the fundamentals to advanced topics, including threads, network sockets, and distributed programming with RMI. And the new. second edition focuses on Java 5.0, the latest version of the Java language and development platform. Because Java 5.0 is a major update to the platform, with deep, code-level changes, even more careful study and implementation is required. So learning the Head First way is more important than ever. If you've read a Head First book, you know what to expect--a visually rich format designed for the way your brain works. If you haven't, you're in for a treat. You'll see why people say it's unlike any other Java book you've ever read. By exploiting how your brain works, Head First Java compresses the time it takes to learn and retain--complex information. Its unique approach not only shows you what you need to know about Java syntax, it teaches you to think like a Java programmer. If you want to be bored, buy some other book.

苏德战争爆发后,索尔仁尼琴应征入伍,曾任大尉炮兵连长,两次立功受奖。1945年2月,作者在东普鲁士的前线被捕,因为他同一个老朋友通信中批评了斯大林,内务人民委员部以“进行反苏宣传和阴谋建立反苏组织”的罪名判处他8年劳改。刑满后被流放到哈萨克斯坦。1956年解除流放,次年恢复名誉,后定居梁赞市,任中学数学教员。 1962年11月,经赫鲁晓夫亲自批准,索尔仁尼琴的处女作中篇小说《伊凡·杰尼索维奇的一天》在《新世界》上刊出。这部苏联文学中第一部描写斯大林时代劳改营生活的作品,立即引起国内外的强烈反响。1963年,作者加入苏联作协。这以后,他又写了好些作品,但随着政治形势的变化,除了《马特辽娜的家》等四个短篇外,其余均未能在苏联境内发表。1965年3月,《伊凡·杰尼索维奇的一天》受到公开批判。 1967年5月,第四次苏联作家代表大会前夕,索尔仁尼琴给大会写了一封公开信,要求“取消对文艺创作的一切公开和秘密的检查制度”,遭到当局指责。1968年,长篇小说《癌病房》和《第一圈》在西欧发表。1969年11月,作家被苏联作协开除会籍。 1970年,“因为他在追求俄罗斯文学不可或缺的传统时所具有的道义力量”,索尔仁尼琴获诺贝尔文学奖。但迫于形势,索尔仁尼琴没有前往斯德哥尔摩领奖。1971年,德、法两国同时出版他的长篇小说《1914年8月》。1973年12月,巴黎出版了他的《古拉格群岛》第一卷,披露了从1918年到1956年间苏联监狱与劳改营的内幕。1974年2月12日,苏联最高苏维埃主席团宣布剥夺其苏联国籍,把他驱逐出境。同年10月,美国参议院授予他“美国荣誉公民”称号,随后他移居美国。 1989年,苏联作协书记处接受《新世界》杂志社和苏联作家出版社的倡议,撤消作协书记处于1969年11月5日批准的把索尔仁尼琴开除出苏联作协的“不公正的、与社会主义民主原则相抵触的决定”,同时委托当选为苏联人民代表的作家们向最高苏维埃提出撤消最高苏维埃主席团1974年2月12日的命令。根据苏联作协的决定,索尔仁尼琴的作品开始在苏联国内陆续出版。",本书系索尔仁尼琴的中篇小说卷,共收录了《伊凡·杰尼索维奇的一天

1903-1950),1903年生于英国殖民地的印度,原名艾里克·阿瑟·布莱尔(奥威尔是他的笔名),童年耳闻目睹了殖民者与被殖民者之间尖锐的冲突。与绝大多数英国孩子不同,他的同情倾向悲惨的印度人民一边。少年时代,奥威尔受教育于著名的伊顿中学。后来被派到缅甸任警察,他却站在了苦役犯的一边。30年代,他参加西班牙内战,因属托派而遭排挤,回国后却又被划入左派,不得不流亡法国。二战中,他在英国广播公司从事反法西斯宣传工作。1950年,死于缠绵数年的肺病,年仅47岁。 奥威尔短暂的一生,颠沛流离,疾病缠身,郁郁不得志,一直被视为危险的异端。在他为数不多的作品中,《动物庄园》与《一九八四》影响巨大,他以先知般冷峻的笔调勾画出人类阴暗的未来,令读者心惊肉跳。","这两部小说都是从小人物着手,写他们的生活经历和所思所想,两个男主人公都是那么可怜无助的夹缝中人。这样在生活中被挤扁了的人似乎根本无法承受什么重大的政治主题。奥威尔丝毫也没有宏大的叙事结构,声势浩大的全景画面,或铿锵或高亢的叙述语言。他要做的仅仅是把人物置于其特定的人文和社会环境中展开其故事,无论其环境是写实(《上来透口气》)还是虚拟的预言式(《一九八四》),在其特定的条件下都是可信的。于是,这两个小人物的故事成了某种重大主题与思想的载体,比任何宏大结构和叙事都来得真实和有说服力。这让我想起劳伦斯论小说的一句话:“任何东西只要是在自身的时间、地点和环境中,它就是真实的。”这是艺术的真实。奥威尔做到了。 你看《上来透口气》中那个胖乎乎的保险推销员保灵,看他那个乱哄哄的家,看他家所在的那个典型的生活区,看他周围的那些乌七八糟的新兴中产阶级,这些人构成了——天啊,英国人的大多数!就连这么普通的保灵都无法忍受生命的重负了,都要像只海龟一样浮上水面来透口气,可竟然发现无气可透! 你看《一九八四》中的那个倒霉的温斯顿,在强大的政治压力下靠偷情来“透口气”。看他周围的人包括分居的妻子那副可憎的面孔;看他供职的“真理部”和邻居“和平部”、“仁爱部”和“富足部”的所作所为——和平部负责战争,真理部负责造谣,仁爱部负责拷打,富足部制造饥饿;看那些人多么心甘情愿地造谣说谎,靠监视别人获得升迁机会。这些人构成了——天啊,一个国家的上层建筑!最终这样一个还有良心的人都心甘情愿地出卖并带着对偶像的热爱而死,这样的人类境遇还能残酷到什么程度?",23.80元,9787806572269,7806572260

《丛林之书》和它的续篇所包括的十五篇故事中,七篇是互不相关的动物故事,如《白海豹》和《“里基—蒂基—塔维”》就属于这一类。另外八篇则是以少年莫格里为中心人物的系列动物故事。莫格里是印度樵夫的儿子。当他还是个婴儿时,在森林里受到老虎谢尔汗追逐,父母逃散,他误入狼穴,被母狼收养,成为狼群中的一员。他长成了一个勇武而又聪慧的少年。他的朋友有慈祥的狼妈妈,忠诚的狼兄弟,以及足智多谋的黑豹巴希拉,憨厚的老熊巴卢,正直的狼群头领阿克拉,孔武有力的蟒蛇卡阿等等。他们在莫格里周围形成了一个温暖的集体,教给他生活的智慧和谋生的本领,教给他丛林动物必须遵守的“丛林法律”。老虎谢尔汗仍然不时前来捣乱。莫格里具有人类的智慧,学会了使用火。他从附近的村子里取来了动物们称之为“红花”的火,帮助阿克拉平息了狼群的叛乱,把煽动叛乱的老虎烧得焦头烂额,落荒而逃。后来,莫格里被村子里一位失去儿子的村妇收养,当了放牧牛群的牧童。但是老虎谢尔汗跟踪而来,要加害于他。莫格里和狼兄弟们定下计策,利用牛群设下埋伏,谢尔汗陷进牛群的包围,被牛蹄践踏而死。但莫格里也因冒犯村里的巫师而被村民用石子驱赶出来,回到了丛林。在本书中还可以读到莫格里不少冒险故事。而《在丛林里》这篇故事则讲述了莫格里故事的大结局——他离开了兽群,回到人类中间,结了婚,当上了看林人,帮助林务官保护森林。从出版时间上说,这个故事比《丛林之书》早一年出版,吉卜林对朋友解释说,“这个故事是莫格里故事里最先写出的,不过它讲的是他的事业的最后章节……时间估计在他最终和丛林里的朋友们分手两三年之后。”这个故事显然比他后来写的那些神奇的莫格里故事要逊色些,试想一个能震慑森林里凶猛野兽的天神般的少年莫格里,竟然降格为英国文官制度下一名小职员,并且期望将来能领到一份退休金,这实在有点儿“煞风景”。不过我们应该记住,吉卜林的灵感和才华在这最初一篇里只是刚刚被启发出来,而在后来的故事里得到了充分的发挥。由于这是莫格里故事里有独特地位的一篇,我们在这里把它也选了进来。,11.00元,9787020044283,702004428X

在这股潮流中,美国作家赫尔曼·沃克( Herman Wouk )无疑是代表人物之一。 赫尔曼·沃克在欧美文坛以用现实主义笔法写战争题材小说而享有盛名。就我目前的阅读范围所及,沃克的三部作品(《战争风云》、《战争与回忆》和《凯恩舰哗变》)都以第二次世界大战为背景。我不知道赫尔曼·沃克还著有什么作品,然而,单凭这三部描写二战的小说,尤其是作为史诗性两部曲的《战争风云》和《战争与回忆》,已经足以奠定沃克在欧美(乃至世界)文学界的地位了。 《战争风云》和《战争与回忆》堪称用小说艺术展现的第二次世界大战的全景。它以美国海军军官维克多·亨利一家为中心辐射开去,描绘了一幅大规模世界战争的真实、宏伟的图景。书中人物众多,上至罗斯福、丘吉尔、希特勒等交战各国最高领导人,下至一般士兵和普通老百姓,都在作者的笔墨之下出现。所述故事从1939年德军入侵波兰、第二次世界大战爆发开始,到1945年日本投降、战争结束为止,涉及大多数主要战场和重要事件。全书篇幅很长,但读来 毫无滞涩繁重之感。赫尔曼·沃克显然是位善于布局谋篇、巧于急张缓弛的故事大家,他让维克多·亨利一家以及与之有关的众多人物尽可能但又合乎情理地置身于人们都知道的重大历史事件中,使读者随着故事的进展,不由自主地为这些人物的命运而担忧、紧张、欣慰、悲哀;同时,作者生动细腻的描写,又让读者对许多重大历史事件有了更深入的理解。相比之下,《凯恩舰哗变》的场景就小多了。它只是讲了在太平洋战场一艘美军军舰上发生的“哗变”事件,人物也主要是一些中下级军官和士兵。全书描写的是战争中的一个侧面,但对战争与人们关系的反映却是比较全面的。 作为现实主义作家,赫尔曼·沃克以故事跌宕起伏、人物命运多舛取胜。他的这几部小说,故事情节都用白描的笔法娓娓道来,书中基本没有直接的心理描写,人物性格都从对话和行为中表现出来,并随着故事情节的发展而不断深化。这种写法的好处,是不打断读者的阅读思绪,让读者不知不觉地陷入书中规定的人物和故事之中,手难释卷,印象深刻。 赫尔曼·沃克的作品让人百读不厌,除了故事讲得引人入胜之外,还在于它的真实:故事细节上的真实和历史事件上的真实。沃克为写作《战争风云》和《战争与回忆》,足迹几乎遍及欧、亚、非大陆数十个国家,翻阅了大量历史资料,采访过几百名经历过二战的人。正如作者所说:书中关于亨利一家的人物和事迹纯属虚构,但有关战争的史实是确凿的,统计数字是可靠的,那些大人物的言行要不是根据史实,便是根据可靠的记载。真实是文学作品的基础,对史诗性作品来说尤其如此。 赫尔曼·沃克把自己的文笔着落在战争上,自然不是为了用人类自相残杀的悲剧来吸引读者,而是有他深层的思考。战争,作为“一种古老的思想习惯,一种古老的心理状态”,几乎贯穿于人类的全部发展过程之中。举凡人类社会的美好、丑陋、善良、残忍,都能在战争中得到充分体现。对于以前的统治者、现在的“政治家”来说,战争不过“是政治的继续”,是运筹于他们心中的一种决策,一种选择;而对于千千万万普通百姓来说,战争则是让人们付出血泪的一种诅咒,是挥之不去的一个噩梦。基于此,沃克没有把自己的作品简单地写成正义战胜邪恶的英雄主义赞歌。在他的笔下,既写了如海军军官维克多·亨利父子三人(《战争风云》和《战争与回忆》)、威利·克依斯(《凯恩舰哗变》)等人一样由普通人成长的英雄,又对像历史学博士埃伦·杰斯特罗、外交官莱斯里·斯鲁特(《战争风云》和《战争与回忆》)等一样软弱、自私和正义感交织在一起的人给予了理解,甚至对像海军舰长菲力普·魁格(《凯恩舰哗变》)一样因不堪战争压力而变得偏执、胆怯的人物也表示了同情。沃克的作品告诉人们:战争或许能判别出人们的无畏和胆怯,但人类却不是为战争而活着的;文学描写战争,不是为了赞美战争,甚至也不是为了赞美战争中的“英雄主义”。那么,我们为什么要读战争题材作品呢?赫尔曼·沃克在《战争风云》的《作者前言》中说的一段话,也许道出了原因:“《战争风云》的主题和宗旨,可以在法国犹太作家朱里安·班达的几句话里找到:如果世上确有和平存在,那么这种和平并不是基于害怕战争,而是基于热爱和平。它不是行动上的限制,而是思想上的成熟。在这个意义上说,最渺小的作家可以为和平作出贡献,而最有力量的法庭却无能为力。” 看来,努力用文学传达个人对于人类命运的强烈关注和思考,这就是赫尔曼·沃克作品的价值所在,也是那些有责任感和忧患意识的作家的非凡勇气和能力所在。",48.30,9787532716029,7532716023

伊迪丝·华顿起初是为了排遣上流社会家庭生活的苦闷而开始写作的。她从1880年开始发表小说,1889年第一部短篇小说集问世,获得了意外的成功。1905年长篇小说《快乐之家》出版,使她成了20世纪前二十年最受欢迎的美国作家。1920年出版的《纯真年代》为她获得了普利策奖。她一共写了十九部中长篇小说,出版过十一本短篇小说集,还有大量的非小说作品。","《纯真年代》的主要情节发生在19世纪70年代末80年代初的纽约上流社会。那是伊迪丝度过童年与青春的地方,她在那儿长大成人,进入社交界,订婚又解除婚约,最后嫁给波士顿的爱德华·华顿,并度过了婚后的最初几年。时隔40年后,作为小说家的她回顾养育过她也束缚过她的那个社会,她的感情是复杂的,既有亲切的眷恋,又有清醒的针砭。 作家把那个时代的纽约上流社会比作一个小小的金字塔,它又尖又滑,很难在上面取得立足之地。处在塔顶,真正有贵族血统的只有二三户人家:华盛顿广场的达戈内特祖上是正宗的郡中世家;范德卢顿先生是第一任荷兰总督的嫡孙,他家曾与法国和英国的几家贵族联姻;还有与德格拉斯伯爵联姻的拉宁一家。他们是上流社会的最高阶层,但显然已处于日薄西山的衰败阶段。上流社会的中坚力量是以明戈特家族、纽兰家族、奇弗斯家族为代表的名门望族,他们的祖辈都是来自英国或荷兰的富商,早年在殖民地发迹,成为有身份有地位的人物。比如纽兰·阿切尔的一位曾外祖父曾参与过独立宣言的签署,还有一位曾在华盛顿部下任将军。正如阿切尔太太所说的,“纽约从来就是个商业社会”,占支配地位的是这些殷实的富商。处于金字塔底部的是富有却不显贵的人们,他们多数是内战之后崛起的新富,凭借雄厚的财力,通过联姻而跻身上流社会。",17.50元,9787806572610,7806572619

这部小说以漫画手法,多方面地暴露和讽刺了德皇威廉二世统治下摧残人性的法西斯奴化教育制度和丑恶的社会现实。小说有一个副标题:《一个暴君的末日》。由于小说的背景正是德国资本主义向垄断资本主义过渡的时代,因而作者笔下的垃圾教授不是一个人,而是代表他的整个阶级,以此反映十九世纪末德国封建贵族和资产阶级的虚伪和堕落:他们自己虚伪堕落,却指责别人道德败坏;他们为了巩固军国主义统治,采用专制高压手段,对青年一代进行奴化教育,稍有越轨,就关禁闭惩罚,或是利用权势,断送年轻人的前程。垃圾教授对待学生犹如一个“暴君”。可是,疯狂一时的垃圾教授是短命的。垃堤这个暴君的末日也象征了德国帝国主义的末日。",13.0,9787805677774,7805677778

柯罗连科出生于乌克兰一个道德清纯的县法官的家庭。父辈世代为哥萨克,母亲是沃伦省一个波兰地主的女儿。柯罗连科的童年和少年时代是在波兰人、乌克兰人、俄罗斯人和犹太人混居的一些小城市度过的。波澜壮阔的历史和现实生活在这些地方留下了充满浪漫主义魅力的回忆和遗迹。所有这一切,加之他的半乌克兰半波兰的血统和教育,在他的创作中打下了无法磨灭的印记。在他的艺术手法中有机地融合着两个民族的特点:波兰人的明快和浪漫,乌克兰俄罗斯人的诚挚和诗意。血统特质,加之十九世纪七十年代俄罗斯社会思想的利他主义潮流,造就了一位具有高昂的创作激情和洞察一切的人道主义的艺术家。 柯罗连科以其短篇和中篇小说蜚声俄罗斯文坛。著名作品有《怪女子》、《马卡尔的梦》、《森林在呼啸》、《大河奔流》、《阿特—达凡》、《盲音乐家》等中短篇及《我的同时代的人》等长篇。 从七十年代后期起,柯罗连科因参加学生抗议活动遭到逮捕和一系列行政处罚。他在监禁和流放中度过了近九个年头。 在其后的西伯利亚的流放生活给他留下了深刻的印象,为他许多优秀的随笔和特写提供了大量的素材。西伯利亚原始森林的野性浪漫的大自然、苦役流刑犯们恶劣的生活环境、流浪者们充满惊险的生活……这一切都在作家一系列优秀的西伯利亚随笔中得到了艺术的再现。 十九世纪九十年代中期,柯罗连科的艺术活动达到了顶峰。这一时期作家文学创作的闪光点是内容广泛的、涉及当时最为人们关注的种种现实问题的政论文章。这一实际活动和他的文学创作不可分割,组成了一个整体。","《怪女子》(1880)是作家在狱中写成的。小说塑造了一位被流放的英勇不屈的女革命者形象,同时批评了现实中的某些革命知识分子对人民的不信任。 《森林在呼啸》(1886)几乎是用童话的手法写成的。小说的情节并无新奇之处:贵族老爷恣意践踏农奴的幸福和尊严,结果受到了惩罚。但是传说的细节加工得相当出色。暴风雨前的森林那激动不安的景象尤为壮观。在小说中,柯罗连科描绘大自然的高超技艺得到充分的展现。自屠格涅夫去世后便从俄罗斯文学中完全消失的俄罗斯大自然在柯罗连科的笔下复活了。 从西伯利亚移居伏尔加河畔后,柯罗连科到过魏特卢卡边区。在圣湖,作家目睹了来自人民的真理的寻求者和各旧教派护道者进行着关于信念的激烈的辩论。从圣湖归来所写的《大河奔流》(1891)中,很少有浪漫的情调,而更多的是无奈和痛苦。然而,作家坚信人民的思想不会真正永久地沉睡。 中篇小说《盲音乐家》(1886—1898)乐观地表现了柯罗连科特有的战胜生理上和精神上的缺陷,成为社会积极的成员这一主题。 散文诗《火光》(1900)则直言不讳地告诉人们新生活的光明就在前头,尽管斗争的道路还很漫长,但前途终究是光明的。",14.00,9787533916138,7533916131 read,2008-02-08T13:51:28Z,4371,9.1,[阿根廷]

《衰落》的主人公保罗·潘尼费瑟是一个孤儿,像伏尔泰的《老实人》中的主人公一样,是一个不谙世事的天真青年。小说开始时他是牛津大学神学院的学生。一天晚上一帮醉汉撞见他,发现他戴的徽章与他们俱乐部的徽章相似,硬说他冒充他们俱乐部的成员,扒光他的衣服以示惩罚。保罗受辱后忍气吞声,仅穿一条短裤跑回宿舍。他本是事件的受害者,院方没有处罚闹事者,却以“行为不检”为由把他开除。他的监护人乘机剥夺了他继承父亲遗产的权利,用这笔钱风风光光把自己的女儿嫁了出去。保罗在万般无奈的情况下当了小学教师,接触到三教九流、形形色色的人物。学校运动会上,漂亮富有的上流社会贵妇马格特·比斯特切温德夫人看中了他,邀请他假期到她家里做她儿子的家庭教师。他在马格特的诱惑下爱上她并准备同她结婚。保罗不知道马格特是靠在南美洲经营妓院赚钱,结婚前夕受马格特之托,到法国安排一批妓女到南美洲的事宜,回到伦敦被国际联盟的官员逮捕,判处七年监禁。马格特在保罗被捕后隐藏起来,然后为巩固自己在上流社会社交界的地位,与一直追求她的内政大臣结婚,并且制造了保罗病死的新闻,将保罗悄悄送到她的别墅秘密居住几个月。保罗蓄起胡子,改变身份和外貌,回到牛津大学继续读书。",12.50元,9787806574713,7806574719

早年,莫厄特曾和父亲一起,乘坐拖车,游历了加拿大的平原和山川,和大自然结下了深厚的感情。他的家里还养了很多宠物,有牛、喜鹊、北美地鼠和猫头鹰等,这萌发了他探索自然的兴趣。 1938年,到哈萨巴祖瓦收集鸟类和哺乳动物,为博物馆制作标本,是莫厄特从事的第一次科学探险。 第二次世界大战期间,莫厄特指挥一个排参加了解放西西里的战斗。后来,又参加了夺回荷兰之战。战争结束后,莫厄特回到加拿大马尼托巴省。随后,被官方派往北部的冻原地带,在那里度过了近两年的时光。 1964年,受加拿大政府的派遣,莫厄特到北极地区去考察狼的罪恶,以获取证据对狼进行制裁。因为那边来的报告说,那里的驯鹿急剧减少,都是因为狼的十恶不赦。莫厄特一个人在荒无人烟的北极地区详细考察,研究狼和它们的主要食物,以决定狼这个物种是否应该对驯鹿种群的急剧减少负责。 莫厄特用了近两年的时间,通过对狼群中“乔治一家”的观察和研究告诉人们,狼是以黄鼠和北方梭鱼为主食的,并不是造成驯鹿数量下降的罪魁祸首,而且还证明了狼的社会是一个尊老爱幼、谦让和平的社会,远不如人类凶残。 一切证据都偏离了政府的目的及莫厄特的初衷,狼非但不与人为敌还绵绵有情,并且狼捕食驯鹿的数量十分有限,相反,倒是人类是真正的元凶。这就使得莫厄特陷于两难境地,要么违心地按照当局的旨意,嫁祸于狼,得到当局和当地人的褒奖;要么实事求是,直言不讳,承担当局的怀疑和当地人的谴责。 经过痛苦的道德意识冲突之后,莫厄特发出了由衷的慨叹:“狼使我认识了它们,也使我认识了自己。”莫厄特勇敢地选择了后者。他的《与狼共度》出版后,引起了社会的争议,也带来了震撼世界的效果。当这本书的俄文版在前苏联问世后,官方立刻下达了严禁屠杀“恶”狼的命令。 这是一个具有历史意义的转折。从此,莫厄特便开始了他对“生活在自然逆境条件下人的故事和其它动物的故事”的关注。 《鹿之民》是另一部震撼人心的长篇纪实作品。莫厄特描写了世世代代生活在加拿大北部的一支爱斯基摩人——伊哈尔缪特人。1946年,莫厄特访问他们时,只剩下岌岌可危的40个人,而他们还在为生存而苦苦挣扎。作者深刻地揭示出,这些靠驯鹿生存的“鹿之民”,是怎样因为殖民贸易的侵入和惟利是图的商人,而失去了生存的依托和平衡,走向了即将绝灭的道路。 由于莫厄特的大声疾呼,这支小小的爱斯基摩人最终得到了救助。 在莫厄特的生态伦理观中,最核心的原则是平等和公正,是爱。尊重人的天赋权利的理由同样适用于动物。因为动物和人一样,也是能够评价其生活,并进而具有内在价值和天赋的平等生存权的造物。 莫厄特还用统计学的方法,用铁的事实说服人类,进行价值观的全方位的变革。即用尊重自然的态度取代占有自然的欲念,用爱护自然的行为取代征服自然的活动,用对自然的责任感和义务感取代对自然的统治与掠夺,用道德手段去缓解人与自然之间岌岌可危的紧张关系。",,10.00,9787537813471,7537813477

全书故事情节虽没有一个主干,可是有一个中心贯穿其间,那就是反对科举制度和封建礼教的毒害,讽刺因热衷功名富贵而造成的极端虚伪、恶劣的社会风习。这样的思想内容,在当时无疑是有其重大的现实意义和教育意义。加上它那准确、生动、洗练的白话语言,栩栩如生的人物形象塑造,优美细腻的景物描写,出色的讽刺手法,艺术上也获得了巨大的成功。   当时,由于时代的局限,作者在书中虽然批判了黑暗的现实,却把理想寄托在“品学兼优”的士大夫身上,宣扬古礼古乐,看不到改变儒林和社会的真正出路,这是应该加以批判的。",24.00元,9787805289977,7805289972

Verne,1828.2.8~1905.3.25)生于法国西部海港南特,他在构成市区一部分的劳阿尔河上的菲伊德岛生活学习到中学毕业。父亲是位颇为成功的律师,一心希望子承父业。但是凡尔纳自幼热爱海洋,向往远航探险。11岁时,他曾志愿上船当见习生,远航印度,结果被家人发现接回了家。为此凡尔纳挨了一顿狠揍,并躺在床上流着泪保证:“以后保证只躺在床上在幻想中旅行。”也许正是由于这一童年的经历,客观上促使凡尔纳一生驰骋于幻想之中,创作出如此众多的著名科幻作品。 18岁时,他遵父嘱,去巴黎攻读法律,可是他对法律毫无兴趣,却爱上了文学和戏剧。一次,凡尔纳自一场晚会早退,下楼时他忽然童心大发,沿楼梯扶手悠然滑下,不想正撞在一位胖绅士身上。凡尔纳非常尴尬,道歉之后随口询问对方吃饭没有,对方回答说刚吃过南特炒鸡蛋。凡尔纳听罢摇头,声称巴黎根本没有正宗的南特炒鸡蛋,因为他即南特人而且拿手此菜。胖绅士闻言大喜,诚邀凡尔纳登门献艺。二人友谊从此开始,并一度合写戏剧,为凡尔纳走上创作之路创造了有利条件。这位胖绅士的名字是大仲马。毕业后,他更是一门心思投入诗歌和戏剧的创作,为此不仅受到父亲的严厉训斥,并失去了父亲的经济资助。他不得不在贫困中奋斗,以读书为乐。他十分欣赏雨果、巴尔扎克、大仲马和英国的莎士比亚。在巴黎,他创作了20个剧本(未出版)和一些充满浪漫激情的诗歌。 后来,凡尔纳与大仲马合作创作了剧本《折断的麦秆》并得以上演,这标志着凡尔纳在文学界取得了初步的成功。在继续创作的过程中,凡尔纳感到文学创作似乎缺乏出路,而且他发现当时文坛上的人都在找出路,都在试图把其他领域的知识融进戏剧。比如大仲马是将历史学融进文学,而巴尔扎克则把社会伦理学融进文学……这时凡尔纳发现,只剩下地理学还没有被开发。 于是凡尔纳利用一年的时间进行试验,创作出《冰川上面过冬》等作品,但未发表。 1856年,凡尔纳乘火车来到北部城市亚眠,遇到一名带着两个孩子的漂亮寡妇,一见钟情并求婚,继而结婚。接着凡尔纳搬家过去,从此开始认真创作。其时29岁。 凡尔纳创作出《气球上的五星期》后,16家出版社无人理睬,愤然投入火中,被妻子抢救出来,送入第17家出版社后被出版。赏识此书的编辑叫赫茨尔,从此凡尔纳遇到了知音,与之结下终身友谊。黑格尔与凡尔纳签订合同,一年为其出版两本科幻小说。 《气球上的五星期》出版之后,凡尔纳的创作进入了一个多方面的探索时期,他试验多种写法,朝多种方向进行探索,一发不可收拾。每年出版两本,总标题为《奇异的旅行》,包括《地心游记》《从地球到月球》《环绕月球》《海底两万里》《神秘岛》等等,囊括了陆地、海洋和天空……此后探索停止,开始成熟,进入平稳的发展时期,创作出《80天环绕地球》《太阳系历险记》《两年假期》等优秀作品。随着声望的增高,凡尔纳的财富也在迅速增长。 凡尔纳的晚年不是十分幸福,创作减少并进入衰弱期,其《卡尔巴阡的古堡》有一定的自传性,表现了生活中隐秘的侧面。 1905年3月17日凡尔纳出现偏瘫,24日失去知觉,25日晨8:00去世。 1905年3月28日大出殡,全世界纷纷电唁,悼念这位伟大的科幻作家。 凡尔纳的故事生动幽默,妙语横生,又能激发人们尤其是青少年热爱科学、向往探险的热情,所以一百多年来,一直受到世界各地读者的欢迎。据联合国教科文组织的资料表明,凡尔纳是世界上被翻译的作品最多的十大名家之一。 凡尔纳是一个非常优秀的通俗小说作家,有一种能够把自己的幻觉变得能够触摸的本领,其感觉是全方位的,从平淡的文学中传达出某种人类的热情。但凡尔纳的小说中人物除了少数几个外都是一模一样的,他似乎塑造不出更重要的人物,人物都是脸谱化的简单的好人坏人,没有什么心理活动;从其作品人物性别单一化上还可看出他对女人的偏见,隐隐流露出深受其苦的心态。此外凡尔纳的作品中充满了明显的社会倾向,是一个爱国者(法国人最好)、民族解放主义者(支持被压迫民族斗争),在某种程度上是一个无政府主义者(从某些作品中表现出无秩序者),最后还是一个银河帝国主义者(有缔造宇宙帝国的欲望)。 凡尔纳的作品里充满了知识,但他本人却是一名宇宙神秘主义者,对世界有一种神秘的崇拜。在他的小说中,有时候思考问题不够深刻,主题也常常重复。 但总的来说,凡尔纳的尝试仍然是伟大的。他写的虽然都是平凡小事,但读后仍使我们激动不已。正如1884年教皇在接见他时曾说:“我并不是不知道您的作品的科学价值,但我最珍重的却是它们的纯洁、道德价值和精神力量。” 儒勒·凡尔纳作品集 《八十天环游地球》 《海底两万里》

《迎着三色旗》","《海底两万里》写于1870年,是凡尔纳著名的三部曲的第二部(第一部是《格兰特船长的儿女》、第三部是《神秘岛》)。这部作品叙述法国博物学家阿龙纳斯教授在海洋深处旅行的故事。故事发生在一八六六年,当时海上发现了一只被断定为独角鲸的大怪物,他接受邀请参加追捕,在追捕过程中不幸落水,泅到怪物的脊背上。其实这怪物并非什么独角鲸,而是一艘构造奇妙的潜水艇。潜艇是船长尼莫在大洋中的一座荒岛上秘密建造的,船身坚固,利用海洋发电。尼莫船长邀请阿龙纳斯作海底旅行。他们从太平洋出发,经过珊瑚岛、印度洋、红海、地中海,进入大西洋,看到许多罕见的海生动植物和水中的奇异景象,又经历了搁浅、土著人围攻、同鲨鱼搏斗、冰山封路、章鱼袭击等许多险情。最后,当潜艇到达挪威海岸时,阿龙纳斯不辞而别,把他所知道的海底秘密公布于世。 书中的主人公尼莫船长是一个带有浪漫、神秘色彩,非常吸引人的人物。尼莫根据自己的设计建造了潜水艇,潜航在海底进行大规模的科学研究,但这好像又不是他这种孤独生活的惟一目的。他躲避开他的敌人和迫害者,在海底探寻自由,又对自己孤独的生活深深感到悲痛。这个神秘人物的谜底到了三部曲的第三部才被揭开。 这部作品集中了凡尔纳科幻小说的所有特点。曲折紧张、扑朔迷离的故事情节,瞬息万变的人物命运,丰富详尽的科学知识和细节逼真的美妙幻想融于一炉。作者独具匠心,巧妙布局,在漫长的旅行中,时而将读者推入险象环生的险恶环境,时而又带进充满诗情画意的美妙境界;波澜壮阔的场面描绘和细致入微的细节刻画交替出现。读来引人入胜,欲罢不能。

Verne,1828.2.8~1905.3.25)生于法国西部海港南特,他在构成市区一部分的劳阿尔河上的菲伊德岛生活学习到中学毕业。父亲是位颇为成功的律师,一心希望子承父业。但是凡尔纳自幼热爱海洋,向往远航探险。11岁时,他曾志愿上船当见习生,远航印度,结果被家人发现接回了家。为此凡尔纳挨了一顿狠揍,并躺在床上流着泪保证:“以后保证只躺在床上在幻想中旅行。”也许正是由于这一童年的经历,客观上促使凡尔纳一生驰骋于幻想之中,创作出如此众多的著名科幻作品。 18岁时,他遵父嘱,去巴黎攻读法律,可是他对法律毫无兴趣,却爱上了文学和戏剧。一次,凡尔纳自一场晚会早退,下楼时他忽然童心大发,沿楼梯扶手悠然滑下,不想正撞在一位胖绅士身上。凡尔纳非常尴尬,道歉之后随口询问对方吃饭没有,对方回答说刚吃过南特炒鸡蛋。凡尔纳听罢摇头,声称巴黎根本没有正宗的南特炒鸡蛋,因为他即南特人而且拿手此菜。胖绅士闻言大喜,诚邀凡尔纳登门献艺。二人友谊从此开始,并一度合写戏剧,为凡尔纳走上创作之路创造了有利条件。这位胖绅士的名字是大仲马。毕业后,他更是一门心思投入诗歌和戏剧的创作,为此不仅受到父亲的严厉训斥,并失去了父亲的经济资助。他不得不在贫困中奋斗,以读书为乐。他十分欣赏雨果、巴尔扎克、大仲马和英国的莎士比亚。在巴黎,他创作了20个剧本(未出版)和一些充满浪漫激情的诗歌。 后来,凡尔纳与大仲马合作创作了剧本《折断的麦秆》并得以上演,这标志着凡尔纳在文学界取得了初步的成功。在继续创作的过程中,凡尔纳感到文学创作似乎缺乏出路,而且他发现当时文坛上的人都在找出路,都在试图把其他领域的知识融进戏剧。比如大仲马是将历史学融进文学,而巴尔扎克则把社会伦理学融进文学……这时凡尔纳发现,只剩下地理学还没有被开发。 于是凡尔纳利用一年的时间进行试验,创作出《冰川上面过冬》等作品,但未发表。 1856年凡尔纳乘火车来到北部城市亚眠,遇到一名带着两个孩子的漂亮寡妇,一见终情并求婚,继而结婚。接着凡尔纳搬家过去,从此开始认真创作。其时29岁。 凡尔纳创作出《气球上的五星期》后,16家出版社无人理睬,愤然投入火中,被妻子抢救出来,送入第17家出版社后被出版。赏识此书的编辑叫赫茨尔,从此凡尔纳遇到了知音,与之结下终身友谊。黑格尔与凡尔纳签订合同,一年为其出版两本科幻小说。 《气球上的五星期》出版之后,凡尔纳的创作进入了一个多方面的探索时期,他试验多种写法,朝多种方向进行探索,一发不可收拾。每年出版两本,总标题为《奇异的旅行》,包括《地心游记》《从地球到月球》《环绕月球》《海底两万里》《神秘岛》等等,囊括了陆地、海洋和天空……此后探索停止,开始成熟,进入平稳的发展时期,创作出《80天环绕地球》《太阳系历险记》《两年假期》等优秀作品。随着声望的增高,凡尔纳的财富也在迅速增长。 凡尔纳的晚年不是十分幸福,创作减少并进入衰弱期,其《卡尔巴阡的古堡》有一定的自传性,表现了生活中隐秘的侧面。 1905年3月17日凡尔纳出现偏瘫,24日失去知觉,25日晨8:00去世。 1905年3月28日大出殡,全世界纷纷电唁,悼念这位伟大的科幻作家。 凡尔纳的故事生动幽默,妙语横生,又能激发人们尤其是青少年热爱科学、向往探险的热情,所以一百多年来,一直受到世界各地读者的欢迎。据联合国教科文组织的资料表明,凡尔纳是世界上被翻译的作品最多的十大名家之一。 凡尔纳是一个非常优秀的通俗小说作家,有一种能够把自己的幻觉变得能够触摸的本领,其感觉是全方位的,从平淡的文学中传达出某种人类的热情。但凡尔纳的小说中人物除了少数几个外都是一模一样的,他似乎塑造不出更重要的人物,人物都是脸谱化的简单的好人坏人,没有什么心理活动;从其作品人物性别单一化上还可看出他对女人的偏见,隐隐流露出深受其苦的心态。此外凡尔纳的作品中充满了明显的社会倾向,是一个爱国者(法国人最好)、民族解放主义者(支持被压迫民族斗争),在某种程度上是一个无政府主义者(从某些作品中表现出无秩序者),最后还是一个银河帝国主义者(有缔造宇宙帝国的欲望)。 凡尔纳的作品里充满了知识,但他本人却是一名宇宙神秘主义者,对世界有一种神秘的崇拜。在他的小说中,有时候思考问题不够深刻,主题也常常重复。",《神秘岛》是法国著名科幻小说家儒尔·凡尔纳的三部曲之一,其他两部是《格兰特船长的儿女》和《海底两万里》。该书叙述美国南北战争期间,五名北军俘虏乘坐气球,从南军大本营里士满出逃。途中遭遇风暴,被抛到南太平滚一个荒无人烟的小岛上。这些落难者依靠自己的智慧和过人的毅力,克服了种种困难,不仅顽强地生存下来,而且还把小岛建设成一个繁荣富庶的乐园。整部小说情节跌宕起伏,充满了对奇异多姿的自然界的描写,并且把各种知识融会到惊心动魄的故事之中,因此出版至今虽然已有一百多年,但仍探受世界各地读者的推崇和喜爱。,26.70,9787500604433,7500604432
