In this sixth installment in the New York Times bestselling series from Edgar Award winner James Ponti, the young group of spies stages a rescue in Rome in another international adventure perfect for fans of Spy School and Charlie Thorne. Cairo, the newest member of the City Spies, takes the lead when his sister disappears in Istanbul. Determined to save the family of one of their own, the team risks discovery as their search leads them to Rome. Meanwhile, there's been intel that seems to threaten the royal wedding about to take place in Westminster, bringing the team back to the UK on an official case for MI6. With so much security all over the city, it's harder than ever for the City Spies to go unnoticed. Will their skills be up to the task?

Surrealism in China initially gained a foothold in Shanghai’s former French concession during the early 1930s, disseminated by returning Chinese students who had directly encountered the movement in Paris and Tokyo. Shanghai surrealism adopted a dialectical form, resonating with the modus operandi of the Parisian movement as well as China’s traditional belief system of Daoism. Reconciling the thought of Freud and Marx, Surrealism subsumed the multiple contradictions that divided Republican Shanghai, East and West, colonial and cosmopolitan, ancient and modern, navigating the porous boundaries that separate dream and reality. Shanghai surrealists were not rigid followers of their Parisian counterparts. Indeed, they commingled Surrealist techniques with elements of traditional Chinese iconography. Rather than revolving around a centralized group with a leader, Shanghai Surrealism was a much more diffuse entity, disseminated across copious different periodicals, avant-garde groups, and th

A deeply moving and brilliantly idiosyncratic visual book of days by the National Book Award–winning author of Just Kids and M Train. More than 365 images chart Smith’s singular aesthetic -- inspired by her wildly popular Instagram. In 2018, without any plan or agenda for what might happen next, Patti Smith posted her first Instagram photo: her hand with the simple message “Hello Everybody!” Known for shooting with her beloved Land 250 Camera, Smith started posting selfies with her phone, portraits of her kids, her radiator, her boots, and her Abyssinian cat, Cairo. Followers felt an immediate affinity with these miniature windows into Smith’s world, her daily coffee, the books she’s reading, the graves of beloved heroes: William Blake, Dylan Thomas, Sylvia Plath, Simone Weil, and Albert Camus. Over the days and months, a coherent story of a life devoted to art took shape in the extraordinarily personal photographs that chart Smith’s passions, devotions, obsessions, and whi

‘Clever, wickedly fun . . . with an excellent balance of humour and heart. I loved it’ S. A. Chakraborty, author of The City of BrassCairo, 1912: Though Fatma el-Sha’arawi is the youngest woman working for the Ministry of Alchemy, Enchantments and Supernatural Entities, she’s certainly not a rookie, especially after preventing the destruction of the universe last summer.So when someone murders a secret brotherhood dedicated to one of the most famous men in history, Al-Jahiz, Agent Fatma is called onto the case. Al-Jahiz transformed the world fifty years ago when he opened up the veil between the magical and mundane realms, before vanishing into the unknown. This murderer claims to be Al-Jahiz, returned to condemn the modern age for its social oppressions. His dangerous magical abilities instigate unrest in the streets of Cairo that threaten to spill over onto the global stage.Alongside her Ministry colleagues and a familiar person from her past, Agent Fatma must unravel the mystery beh

SHORTLISTED FOR THE WOMEN'S PRIZE FOR FICTION 2018Selin, a tall, highly strung Turkish-American from New Jersey turns up at Harvard and finds herself dangerously overwhelmed by the challenges and possibilities of adulthood. She studies linguistics and literature, and spends a lot of time thinking about what language - and languages - can and cannot do. Along the way she befriends Svetlana, a cosmopolitan Serb, and obsesses over Ivan, a mathematician from Hungary.Selin ponders profound questions about how culture and language shape who we are, how difficult it is to be a failed writer, and how baffling love is. At once clever and clueless, Batuman's heroine shows us with perfect hilarity and soulful inquisitiveness just how messy it can be to forge a self.

You Must be Very Intelligent is the author’s account of studying for a PhD in a modern, successful university. Part-memoir and part-exposé, this book is highly entertaining and unusually revealing about the dubious morality and desperate behaviour which underpins competition in twenty-first century academia.This witty, warts-and-all account of Bodewits´ years as a PhD student in the august University of Edinburgh is full of success and failure, passion and pathos, insight, farce and warm-hearted disillusionment. She describes a world of collaboration and backstabbing; nefarious financing and wasted genius; cosmopolitan dreamers and discoveries that might just change the world… Is this a smart people’s world or a drip can of weird species? Modern academia is certainly darker and stranger than one might suspect…This book will put a wry, knowing smile on the faces of former researchers. And it is a cautionary parable for innocents who still believe that lofty academia is erected upon mora

From one of the most important intellectuals of our time comes an extraordinary story of exile and a celebration of an irrecoverable past. A fatal medical diagnosis in 1991 convinced Edward Said that he should leave a record of where he was born and spent his childhood, and so with this memoir he rediscovers the lost Arab world of his early years in Palestine, Lebanon, and Egypt. Said writes with great passion and wit about his family and his friends from his birthplace in Jerusalem, schools in Cairo, and summers in the mountains above Beirut, to boarding school and college in the United States, revealing an unimaginable world of rich, colorful characters and exotic eastern landscapes. Underscoring all is the confusion of identity the young Said experienced as he came to terms with the dissonance of being an American citizen, a Christian and a Palestinian, and, ultimately, an outsider. Richly detailed, moving, often profound, Out of Place depicts a young man's coming of age and the gen

中華民國外交部網站在「臺灣的國際法地位」一文中指出，1943年12月1日，中、美、英三國發表《開羅宣言》（Cairo Declaration），具體要求戰後日本「須將竊自中國的東北四省、臺灣與澎湖歸還中華民國」。1945年7月26日，中、美、英三國領袖發布《波茲坦公告》（Potsdam Proclamation），其第8條重申「《開羅宣言》之條件必須貫徹實施」。1945年8月14日，日本接受《波茲坦公告》，宣布無條件投降，並於同年9月2日在美國密蘇里軍艦上簽署《日本降伏文書》（Japanese Instrument of Surrender）。該文書第1條中載明「茲接受美、中、英、蘇四國政府領袖於1945年7月26日於波茲坦所發表及所列舉之條款。換言之，《波茲坦公告》第8條有關《開羅宣言》之條件必須貫徹實施，係日本於《降伏文書》中所承諾之事項，日本當然必須履行，將東北四省、臺灣、澎湖歸還中華民國。 時間回到1943年11月，中華民國全體軍民，已經在戰火中奮鬥了六年餘。此時收到盟軍的訊息，將在遙遠的埃及開羅舉行中、美、英三國領袖會議，這是太平洋戰爭爆發、中國戰區成立、躍身「四強」之後，首次的世界級外交場合。儘管日軍的攻勢並沒有停歇，常德會戰開打，國軍第七十四軍第五十七師八千餘官兵，在師長余程萬的帶領下死守湖南常德，力拼一場東方的史達林格勒之役。 國民政府主席蔣中正與夫人宋美齡女士在國內戰雲密布之際，率領中國代表團，一行共十八人，飛越駝峰航線，途經印度，輾轉前往開羅。會議於11月22日召開，26日落幕，12月1日公報發布，也就是我們現在所稱的《開羅宣言》。 五天的密集討論，大小會談，還包括歡迎宴會與拜訪等等行程，究竟三國代表團之間有什麼樣的互動？就政治、軍事、經濟問題商談了什麼？公報的定案版本又是如何產生的？除了侍從室祕書人員幫蔣中正留下的紀錄以外，本書蒐集了代表團十六位團員中十一位的返國報告，見證了開羅會議舉行的過程。 值得特別提出的是，蔣中正的英文並不好，因此在外交場合中，身體微恙的宋美齡女士就扮演了極為重要的角色，除了肩任部分的翻譯工作之外，與羅斯福、邱吉爾兩位領袖的斡旋，更是辛勞備極。 在開羅會議結束，代表團一行返回重慶，蔣中正掛念心中的，便是常德會戰的戰情。因為國軍的勝敗，是國力的象徵，影響及於這場三國領袖會議的談判籌碼與發言空間。在劃時代的外交空前勝利，中華

★ 蟬聯十週美國《出版者週刊》暢銷排行榜第一名！★ 本書獲美國亞馬遜 4.5 顆星評價！「我們既有這許多的見證人，如同雲彩圍著我們，就當放下各樣的重擔，脫去容易纏累我們的罪。存心忍耐，奔那擺在我們前頭的路程。」――希伯來書12章一節亞瑟˙艾許是六○到七○年代最偉大的網球選手之一，曾在世界職業綱壇排名第一。艾許是第一個打進白人網球世界的黑人、美國網球公開賽第一個黑人冠軍、美國職業網球協會第一屆會長，他也曾領軍美國台維斯盃代表隊，兩度封王。他不只在運動場上競賽，他也從闡述黑人運動員的成就中為黑人族群找到榮耀，在社會議題上更常見他活躍的身影。本書即是記錄這位二十世紀卓爾不群的人物――亞瑟˙艾許勇敢與榮耀的一生。一九八三年因心臟手術輸血而感染愛滋，於一九九三年二月過世。他不只在運動上競賽，也從闡述黑人運動員的成就中為黑人族群找到榮耀；罹患愛滋後更一躍而為對抗愛滋病的代言人，為愛滋防預、宣導對愛滋病的正常觀念奔走。艾許一生過的是奮鬥、勝利的人生。在他人生的最後五年裡，艾許以他偉大運動員的智慧和能量，贏得更輝煌的戰果：推動社會正義、喚醒黑人自覺、抗議美國對海地難民的不公平待遇，罹患愛滋以後更一躍而為對抗愛滋病的代言人，為愛滋防預、宣導對愛滋病的正常觀念奔走。甚至在他死後那年十二月，著名的「生活」雜誌還以他為封面人物，寄予無限的思念。艾許的生命是一個剎然中止的生命，但是卻是豐富無比的人生。好評推薦：「所有這一切――艾許這個人、他的一生、這本書――都是勇敢、動人、罕見、美麗的。」――美國《大都會》雜誌（Cosmopolitan）
