西野的戀愛與冒險
作者：川上弘美
那幾顆黏在他長褲上的草果. 自己埋在空地裡的那些寶貝, 十四歲的我們正在大人與小孩的邊線之間遊蕩,不論經過多少歲月. 當年在草叢裡發生的一切. 肯定會清晰地呈現在我的記憶裏.
Summary
作者用十個女性的角度，描寫她們曾經所愛過的一個男人──西野幸彥。她們遇到西野的時間各不相同，可能是少年時代，也可能是青年、中年、老年，甚至變成幽魂的時候……，每每在不知不覺間陷入對西野的愛戀，卻又在愛情中覺醒而離開他。……，一個憂傷得難以釋懷的愛情故事。
這是川上弘美繼《溺》之後，最精采的愛情短篇連作。

梅迪西封印
- by Theresa Breslin
文藝復興時代的義大利並不是單獨的國家，各個城邦雄踞半島的不同地區。教宗除了靈修事物，掌控著有限的實權。在各大小城邦之中，富可敵國的梅迪西家族大權在握，其中最有勢力的又屬佛羅倫斯的梅迪西一家。
小男孩馬地歐身懷梅迪西家族不可告人的秘密，從強盜撒丁諾身邊逃跑，遇上替紅衣主教波吉亞打工的達文西，達文西將他收容在野心勃勃的主教家中。波吉亞和梅迪西本為死敵，雙方不惜一死，也要取得這個秘密。
Summary
My grandmother was very good at it. She practised the art of
conversation, so that anyone who spoke to her soon found that they had told
her much more about themselves than they imagined. Then she would fit her
advice to the situation, as a tailor cuts cloth to suit the customer. But
my grandmother was a true healer. She understood sickness of the body, and
of the spirit. Often it was the ache of humanity that troubled people – unrequited love, loneliness,
the fear of growing old.
“Times Online” ?August 5th 書評：
TALES OF GREAT MEN seen from the child’s
perspective always make a good subject for children’s novels, and if G. A. Henty’s style of storytelling now
seems sadly out of date, the appetite for it is undiminished.
Robert J. Harris’s Will Shakespeare and the Pirate’s Fire tackles its subject
with gusto. We begin with the teenaged Will and Hamnet, his best friend,
escaping capture on Sir Thomas Lucy’s
estate.
Will, doubly disgraced as poacher and Catholic, joins a troupe of
travelling players disguised as a girl. Soon after, they arrive at the
house of Dr Dee, astrologer and would-be wizard, whose tedious play, Pluto and Proserpina, needs copying.
Will begins a little alchemy on what will, of course, become A Midsummer Night’s Dream.
Packed with spies, sword-fights, daring escapes and traitorous villains,
this is just the kind of swashbuckling adventure to engage bored
schoolchildren in Shakespeare. The fugitive Will claims the pseudonym of
Robin Goodfellow; Dr Dee is the model for Prospero, and his mish-mash of
real science and superstition include a theatrical prop, which saves Queen
Elizabeth from the usual Catholic assassin. Harris’s previous thriller, Leonardo and the Death Machine, also
played with the boyhood of a famous artist.
Leonardo da Vinci reappears as an adult in Theresa Breslin’s The Medici Seal. It is 1502, and young Matteo is saved
from drowning by da Vinci. He becomes the Maestro’s servant as he dissects human
bodies, designs better chain mail and paints La Gioconda. Murder and mayhem travel in
their wake, for unknown to Leonardo, Matteo is being hunted for an
important secret, which both the Borgias and the Medicis will kill to
obtain. Breslin is one of those respected children’s novelists who has been
bubbling under the surface for some time. The Medici Seal should change that. Not only is it a
gripping historical thriller, it is an exceptionally touching exploration
of a relationship between a man and a boy. It is Matteo who spots the
famous Star of Bethlehem, immortalised by Leonardo, who pays for his
tuition. But Matteo has gypsy medical knowledge of his own.
The Medici Seal is rich — some might say too rich — in Cinquecento detail and
dramatic incident with Matteo joining his friend Paolo’s band of condottiere to fight
on the French side against the Pope.
Having brought ruin and rape upon the dell’Orte
family through the assassin Sandino (a terrifying figure who uses his bony
thumb-nails to gouge out victim’s
eyes), he does his best to protect them even after he falls hopelessly in
love with a beautiful noblewoman in Lucrezia Borgia’s circle.
Leonardo, the ultimate Renaissance man, is a fascinating figure and a
children’s novel about him is
overdue. His fastidiousness, compassion, intellectual curiosity, wit and
boundless creativity are all described by Breslin with deft scholarship and
sympathy, though one may wonder why his homosexuality is omitted from her
frank account of both rape and heterosexual courtship. No matter. This is
an enchanting novel about genius, and a gift to an inquiring mind.

Hello, I Must Be Going
哈囉，我該走了。
- by Christine Hodgen
本書以一個九歲小女孩的觀點，從越戰退伍軍人的父親自殺後，至此提早結束童年的成長故事。父親身後留下錯愕悲慟的母親，年幼無知的弟弟，和原本聰明頑皮，像個小男生的她, Frankie.
為了掩飾受創的心靈、早熟卻受傷的青春期，Frankie 時而嘲笑老師和學校的心理諮商師，時而沈浸在她的素描簿裡，時而藉幻想自己是書中人物，逃離悲傷現實的家庭生活。但是Fankie畢竟是聰明又堅強的女孩，隨著進入高中、大學，她漸漸體悟到走出狹隘但安全的小世界及迎向人群的必要，最重要的是，她逐漸瞭解父親儘管最走上自殺之路，生前也試著用笑話和誇大的故事掩飾戰後的創傷，也期望孩子的愛。本書以小說形式呈現一個小女孩成長的體悟，沒有作者的說教，沒有對命運的抱怨，由於女主角天性樂觀，反而不時流露對生活境遇的荒謬和嘲諷，這是一個充滿回憶、愛與悲傷的家庭故事。原文書名，Hello, I Must Be
Going，取自美國搖滾音樂巨星Phil Collins 繼《Face Value》專輯，於1982年推出第二張專輯名稱，描述走出情傷後，如何學習面對現實生活所付出的艱辛和努力。
Summary
It's
the early 1980s, and tomboy Frankie Hawthorne's world is overturned when
her beloved father—a Vietnam amputee who
masks depression by playing comedian—shoots
himself. Frankie's neighorhood, in a down-at-the-heels industrial city near
Boston, has
had its own happier times. Left behind along with Frankie are her mother,
Gerrie, a waitress at Friendly's, and a sweetly innocent younger brother,
Teddy.
Soon, Frankie decides not to talk, resisting the overly ebullient school
psychologist, and comforting herself by drawing cartoons. Gerri, now
chain-smoking and addicted to television—Doris
Day! Rock Hudson!—wears an imaginary charm
bracelet of disappointments. The once-adorable Teddy runs wild and is
frequently summoned to the principal's office.
Finally, with some unlikely help, Frankie understands the possibility of
growing beyond grief. Balancing perfectly between funny and sad, this
poignant novel is about the tenacity of ghosts and the stubbornness of
love.

Publishers Weekly Best Book
of 1998. 出版者周刊1998年最佳讀物
A New York Times Notable
Book for 1998 紐約時報1998年度焦點書目
被美國文壇譽為當代小說家代表並為讀者熱愛的Susan Minot, 在EVENING中, 以青春和老年, 熱情和妥協等元素交織成這本小說.
Ann Lord 為瀕死的癌症病患, 掙扎於知覺與無意識間. 她的一生如白開水般平淡無味, 雖然她的3次婚姻給她帶來了5名子女.
但在追憶往事, 讓她最牽掛的是40年前,
25歲時參加好友婚禮的那個周末, 在那她遇到令她刻骨銘心的情人.
Summary
Evening
is the story of a woman on her deathbed who amidst the delirium and images
of her past full life relives a love affair she had forty years earlier,
when at twenty-five she attended the wedding of her best friend on an
island in Maine.
As her children wait and tend to her, she remembers minutely the details of
those three days when she met a man, a time which emerges from marriages
and divorces and children as being the high point of her life. Evening has been
optioned by Kennedy/Marshall at Disney, with Minot currently working on the adaptation
for the screen.
Ann Lord is dying of cancer. As she lies in bed, drifting in and out of
consciousness, visited by friends and family members, we enter the twilight
world of her memories, dreams, and regrets. Although she has had three
husbands and five children, it is, above all, to one turbulent weekend that
her mind keeps returning--and to one all-too-brief, never-to-be-forgotten
romance. As she loses hold on present reality, Ann is drawn insistently
back forty years to memories of the glorious Maine wedding of her friend Lila, where
she met, fell in love with, and finally lost the one man who has ever meant
anything to her; and where a fateful tragedy struck at the heart of their
happy group of friends. Evening is a magnificent, richly-textured work of
art about youth and age, passion and compromise. It triumphantly confirms
Susan Minot's place as one of the foremost, and most beloved, of American
writers.
作者 About the
Illustrator
Susan Minot was born in Boston, Massachusetts, and grew up in
Manchester-by-the-Sea. She studied writing and painting at Brown University
and received an MFA in writing from Columbia University.
After publishing short stories in Grand
Street and The New Yorker she was offered a
contract for a novel by the legendary publisher Seymour Lawrence, who was
to publish her next three books. His initial support for "a work of
fiction" became Monkeys, nine stories which together make up a novel
about the Vincent family, a New England
family of seven children with a Catholic mother and Brahmin-background
father. The stories cover twelve years in the life of the children, their
mother's "monkeys," during which a tragic accident alters their
lives. It was published in a dozen countries and won the Prix Femina
Etranger in France
in l987. The novel was followed by Lust & Other Stories, a collection
about wayward artists and journalists living in New York City, particularly about the
relations between men and women in their twenties and thirties having
difficulty coming together and difficulty breaking apart.
Her third book, Folly, set in the twenties and thirties in Boston, is a novel about a woman from a
stifling Brahmin background whose choice of a husband is the determining
factor in her life, and about the two different men she falls in love with.
The challenge Minot
set for herself was to write about a place and society which had always
disturbed her and to try to imagine how a woman could stay in that world.
In l994 she was contacted by the director Bernardo Bertolucci with the idea
of developing his idea for a screenplay about a young American girl
visiting English expatriate artists living in Tuscany and having a "sentimental
education." She had always been interested in cinema as a student and
moviegoer. Stealing Beauty was a collaboration with the director. It was
filmed in the summer of l995, north of Siena, where she was given the
opportunity to continue polishing and learning on the set.
Evening is the story of a woman on her deathbed who amidst the delirium and
images of her past full life relives a love affair she had forty years
earlier, when at twenty-five she attended the wedding of her best friend on
an island in Maine.
As her children wait and tend to her, she remembers minutely the details of
those three days when she met a man, a time which emerges from marriages
and divorces and children as being the high point of her life. Evening has been
optioned by Kennedy/Marshall at Disney, with Minot currently working on the adaptation
for the screen.
Having spent too many years in one place, bent over paper writing, Minot,
who has an apartment in New York
City, finds herself traveling and away from home
much of the time.
書評
"Her best work yet, assured, supple, exhilarating in its nerve and
cool momentum" --Joan Didion
"A stunning novel...a powerful story that cuts back and forth in time
to give us both the defining moment in a woman's life and an understanding
of how that moment has reverberated through the remainder of her days...Her
evocation of her heroine's passion for Harris Arden is so convincing, her
depiction of the world she inhabits is so fiercely observed...The
difference between [Monkeys and Evening] attests to Susan Minot's growing
ambition and
assurance as an artist" --Michiko Kakutani, New York Times

grace, pulling the
reader into Ann's deathbed reverie" --Elle

in all its particularity and splendor and pain. This is the task of the

heart...A haunting work of art that moves at the pace of a suspense

THE ISLAND OF SEVEN CITIES: WHERE THE CHINESE SETTLED
WHEN THEY DISCOVERED AMERICA
七城之島: 美洲的第一個中國城(暫譯)
- by Paul Chiasson
Format:
精裝, 384頁, 2006年5月出版
Summary
Random House
Canada2006年5月推出耶魯大學出身的建築師、學者保羅˙齊亞森（Paul Chiasson）的”七城之島: 美洲的第一個中國城” (THE ISLAND OF SEVEN CITIES: WHERE THE CHINESE
SETTLED WHEN THEY DISCOVERED AMERICA)，推出首週即登上加拿大權威雜誌Maclean’s Magazine非文學類排行榜第6名。
”七城之島”是繼孟西士（Gavin Menzies）的歷史學著作”1421：中國發現世界” (1421, THE YEAR CHINA
DISCOVERED THE WORLD)之後又一本相似主題的學術著作。和前者不同的是，後者提供了諸多更進一步的佐證。
哥倫布於1492年發現美洲大陸，從此開始了歐洲人移民美洲的歷史，這是我們耳熟能詳的歷史。但是，最近考古學家和歷史學家發現，應該是中國人，而不是來自歐洲的哥倫布首先發現美洲大陸，中國人比歐洲人發現美洲大陸早了半個多世紀。專家預測，有關問題研究的進展將有可能在未來重寫美洲的這段歷史。
作者在書中詳細描述了他對於加拿大Cape Breton島的考察，以翔實豐富的證據說明早在哥倫布“發現”美洲大陸之前，中國的鄭和就已經發現這個島，並且和隨行人員在這個島上定居下來。該書不僅以大量的證據證實當時曾經有華人的到來和居住，而且還推斷哥倫布到美洲探險與鄭和發現、定居的島嶼有直接關係。齊亞森表示，當時歐洲人傳說中的“七城之島”正是Cape Breton。
作者齊亞森的祖先世居Cape Breton島，他自己也在此地出生成長。2003年他偶然發現當地的中國文化遺跡，開始從各方面挖掘史料。齊亞森發揮在歷史和建築之所長，深入研究，加上他對故鄉的情感和瞭解，使得”七城之島”不但有說服力，而且優美感人。
作者 About the Author
作者保羅˙齊亞森(Paul Chiasson)，畢業於耶魯大學的建築師、學者，專長領域為歷史和宗教建築理論。曾在耶魯大學、華盛頓天主教大學、多倫多大學任教。他出生於Cape Breton島，為最早移居到美洲的歐洲人後裔。

Secret Language of Stuff: Surprising Insights from the
New Science of Snooping
看透你是誰 – 從私物破解你的個性密碼
- by Sam Gosling
你知道，你的手機與鞋子正偷偷的在洩漏你心底的秘密嗎?
凌亂的桌面透漏你今天的心情，牆面的海報悄悄說出你的個性，帽子、眼鏡、包包、衣服、mp3都是抓耙子，對著外人把你抖出來!!作者Sam
Gosling過去10年來，對分析“人們如何洩露與隱藏自己” 此議題有深入的研究。藉著探索我們的私人空間〈書房、浴室、臥室、車子，甚或穿著與飲食的品味〉，他不只告訴我們不經意時所表現出的人格與個性，還包括人們如何在新環境中創造一個自己，藉此與他人相處、觀察此新環境。
Gosling是這個領域裡，最傑出的研究者之ㄧ。他帶領科學特務小組，觀察從臥房到辦公室，在這兩個不同類型的空間裡，人們是如何藉由身邊的“小物”，不經意的洩露出自己“是誰”。研究的結論當然是令人驚奇的: 我們所擁有的東西以及使用的方式，往往透露出最真實的自己，甚至比在家人、好友與情人前的你更真實。
當然啦，一旦掌握觀察的訣竅，妳只需看看男生的衣櫃，就知道他會不會是個可信賴的另一伴；或是從職員的書桌擺設，輕而易舉得知他對工作的態度。最重要的，這種洞察力可以使我們更了解自己，同時在面對熟或不熟的朋友、同事等等，都可以更敏銳的觀察出他到底是什麼樣的人。
Summary
Does what's on your desk reveal what's on your mind? Do those pictures on
your walls tell true tales about you? And is your favorite outfit about to
give you away? For the last ten years psychologist Sam Gosling has been
studying how people project (and protect) their inner selves. By exploring
our private worlds (desks, bathrooms, bedrooms, even our clothes and our
cars), he shows not only how we showcase our personalities in
unexpected--and unplanned--ways, but how we create personality in the first
place, communicate it to others, and interpret the world around us.

在美國約百分之七十五的新餐館難逃被淘汰的命運, 能存活下來的也只有少數能永續經營成為 "偶像級" 的餐廳.Danny Meyer 於 27 歲時白手創業開始了第一家 Union Square Cafe, 到今日的餐飲鉅子, 他是怎麼辦到的? 在 Danny 的新書中, 詳述了他如何從一家街坊小餐廳逐步發展到國際級餐飲集團的過程.Danny 提出 "服務" (提供產品的技術) 與
"以客為尊"的親切態度之間的區別, 兩者對於經營餐廳的成功與否同等重要, 也是他經營餐廳的核心策略.不論你是一位經理人, 主管,
服務業者, 或餐廳侍者, 都會從
Danny 的故事與他"以客為尊" 的竭誠服務心中有所收穫.
這本書除了受到餐飲業的矚目以外,也為財經界人士推崇, 如
Forbes 雜誌社創辦人 Steve Forbes, 哈佛商學院教授, Michael Porter 等都為之推薦如下.紐約時報亦將於週日讀書版刊出本書之書評.
