Syaman Rapongan—one of the Indigenous Tao people of Orchid Island near Taiwan—calls himself an “ocean writer.” His works blend Tao folklore and accounts of maritime life with keen critique of the social, psychological, and ecological harms of colonialism. Eyes of the Ocean is his literary autobiography, both a powerful story of survival in a settler state and a masterful portrait of the Indigenous artist as a young man.In colloquial and vivid prose, Syaman Rapongan depicts Tao beliefs in ghosts, practices of exorcism, and the parallel worlds that exist alongside the human realm. He recounts his difficulties speaking Mandarin in school, his experiences of racial discrimination and exploitation in Taipei, and his decision to return to Orchid Island to rediscover his cultural heritage, as well as his travels to visit other Indigenous artists in places such as Greenland. Eyes of the Ocean also tells the story of Syaman Rapongan’s formation as a writer, a practitioner of a genre of his own

★美國總統國家與社會貢獻獎金獎得主★ 韓秀　傾情鉅獻 從一畫成名驚天下，到窮愁潦倒無人問 他是時代的孤勇者，更是西方藝術史的先行者 林布蘭（Rembrandt, 1606-1669）生於荷蘭萊登，以色彩鮮明的版畫與精湛的銅版蝕刻技術聞名於世，為巴洛克時期最具代表性的藝術家之一。早期善於以「明暗對照法」繪製栩栩如生的肖像，例如《杜爾普教授的解剖課》，他也因此畫一舉成為當時阿姆斯特丹最富有的人之一。 但好景不長，因為受妻兒接連過世的打擊，1640年之後，林布蘭的畫筆不再濃墨重彩，他的畫布變得灰暗，人物形象追求自然、更加忠於原貌──但這樣的轉變卻也讓他從此跌落畫壇。 荷蘭的風帆正在黃金時代的浪潮中駛向全世界，林布蘭的人生卻陷入了暗無星月的夜晚。因為不符合審美潮流，幾乎沒有人再肯委託他作畫，財務狀況每下愈況；到了人生的終章，林布蘭甚至必須割愛珍貴的異國收藏、不斷遷居，過世時幾乎可說是身無分文、窮愁潦倒…… ═════ 林布蘭畫布下的故事 ═════ ♦《夜巡》（The Night Watch） ──世界三大油畫之一，為何當年會被裁剪、焚毀、謾罵百年？ ♦《猶太新娘》（The Jewish Bride） ──讓梵谷為之瘋狂的詩意之作，訴說林布蘭一生最重要的女人 ♦《杜爾普教授的解剖課》（The Anatomy Lesson of Dr. Nicolaes Tulp） ──杜爾普教授是誰？一窺十七世紀荷蘭的醫學片段 ♦《克勞迪‧基維里斯密謀起義》（The Conspiracy of the Batavians under Claudius Civilis） ──只餘下草圖的偉大畫作，究竟是得罪了何人？ ♦《雅各與天使角鬥》（Jacob Wrestling with the Ange） ──無比經典的聖經故事，也是林布蘭一生心志的寫照…… 「我的身心為之一震，彷彿有一塊巧奪天工的色彩撲面而來。」 「當沉溺於心中的夢想時，他失去了一切，但同時，他也得到了一切。」 「終其一生他都生活在一個虛幻的世界中，這個世界有著無限的美麗和完滿，以至於世人只能聳聳肩，帶著惡意與嫉妒的嗤笑，不予理睬

How the legacy of the Civil War--as presented by writers, poets, and artists of the time--has shaped American visions of democracy In Haunted by the Civil War, Shirley Samuels explores the work of Walt Whitman, Emily Dickinson, Herman Melville, Frederick Douglass, Charlotte Perkins Gilman, and others to investigate the long cultural shadow of America's cataclysmic sundering. Juxtaposing these texts with images--ranging from paintings by Winslow Homer to newspaper and magazine illustrations of political controversies--Samuels argues that the Civil War still haunts our attitudes toward democracy. The recent toppling of Confederate monuments, the continuing protests over racial and sexual discrimination, immigration, and Indigenous land rights: each of these forms part of the war's legacy. Examining the fraught deliberations about an ideal American democracy in the early republic, Samuels turns to the language of sensation in the poetry of Melville, Dickinson, and Whitman alongside Lincol
