比爾蓋茲推薦書單傳奇愛爾蘭U2樂隊主唱波諾完整個人回憶錄，親筆設計中文版書封 波諾，藝術家、社會運動家，同時為世界知名樂團U2主唱，開誠布公地寫下關於自己的回憶錄，紀錄他這一路精彩不凡的人生，紀錄那些他面對的挑戰，以及紀錄那些人生路上的美好相遇。 「我生來不按牌理出牌。」這是一本出色的好書，出自一位好鬥的藝術家之手，他發現自己理解屈服之道後，成為了最好的自己。這本書以未必連貫的片段組成、有著桀傲不遜的氣質，既帶有自省的成分、又具有強烈的啟發性。《Surrender》是波諾的人生故事，儘管擁有一定的架構，與40首歌呼應，卻又不那麼工整齊一。波諾在都柏林的北邊成長，父親是天主教徒、母親則是新教徒，那個年代愛爾蘭不同教派間的暴力活動愈發劍拔弩張。14歲時失去母親的他，因為親近之人的缺席形塑了自我對家庭的追尋。人生剛起步時，他感覺自己相當平庸，但最後看來，他一路的人生旅程，挑戰了人人本皆平凡的想法。他的創造力非常混亂，但一直都在……不管在錄音室、在舞台、在抗議現場、在議事廳的會堂、還是在巷口酒吧都是。我們讀到他易怒的情緒問題，這件事替他對愛情及非暴力倡議的描寫增色，還聽見他自承自己的自尊「比自信更膨脹」。橫跨40載，U2從一群渴望成名的青少年變成世界上最成功的知名樂團，而波諾則從兼差的運動人士進化成全心全意戰鬥的一股勢力，目標是取消貧困國家的債務以及說服各國、特別是美國政府，對全球愛滋病的危急狀況作出回應。我們和他一同來到了總統愛滋病緊急救援計畫（PEPFAR）的誕生時刻，在當時這可是醫學史上針對單一疾病規模最大的公衛干預計畫。他還描寫了ONE的參與者，這個非政府組織也由他聯手創立，期望以事實為基礎展開行動，至於姊妹組織(RED)則是入門版的行動良藥。U2的粉絲將會了解，為何U2在數十年間，經歷了各種個人的困境以及火藥味十足的創作分歧後，波諾相信樂團始終都團結一心，還能找到一把把鑰匙，可以解鎖樂團最出名、最有影響力那些歌曲背後的故事。想要一探究竟波諾內在的生活，大門都已經打開了。恣意揮霍身而為人的潛能是貫穿全文的主題，而他的信念也是，他認為信念就像是在雜音中找到一道信號，聽起來就像是「微小卻堅定的聲音」，他在婚姻、自己的音樂創作，還有對抗極端貧困中聽到最清晰的呼喊。綜合以上所述，《Surrender》是一篇愛的故事，對象是他的妻子艾莉，當年樂團第一次團練的那個星期，他開口邀

Who would believe it could be so hard to get a drink of water? And to find it at last, cool and fresh but out of reach – that was a problem indeed for a young monkey. But luckily for him, he had an observant and logical mind. This was more than could be said for the dog that made friends with the bear, or the vain jackdaw; and as for the silly ewe and the nanny goat – well, one might call it guile or one might call it simplicity that kept the wolves at bay. First published in 1960, this charming book of animal fables was the first children’s book either Quentin Blake or John Yeoman ever published. It exudes all the warmth and wit we have come to expect of their collaborations.

Hoping to discover more about "disappeared" people, she turns to her son, Scott, who is fighting demons of his own.

With his mother's health rapidly deteriorating, he must surrender to his own obsession, and unravel Otis's unsettling connections to other missing teens . . . and, ultimately, to Scott himself.

Massachusetts Bay Colony, 1692. When the first girl fell down screaming, the people of Salem Village thought it might just be silliness. Then a second girl started barking. A third and fourth began to shake uncontrollably. A doctor said "an evil hand" had come upon the girls, and everyone knew: They were bewitched. But who were the witches? Everyone knew that too: the unprotected residents of Salem--the poor, the elderly, the ones who were a little bit strange. Soon more girls were having fits and naming people as witches. The village erupted in accusations, suspicion, and fear. By the time the witch trials ended, dozens of lives had been ruined, and twenty people were dead. And I saw it all.With a snarky and surprising first-person narrator - a historical figure that played a major role in events - acclaimed writer Katie Kennedy offers a fresh new take on the greatest true-crime story in American history.

PULITZER PRIZE WINNER - A gripping memoir on friendship, grief, the search for self, and the solace that can be found through art, by the New Yorker staff writer Hua Hsu "This book is exquisite and excruciating and I will be thinking about it for years and years to come." --Rachel Kushner, New York Times bestselling author of The Flamethrowers and The Mars Room In the eyes of eighteen-year-old Hua Hsu, the problem with Ken--with his passion for Dave Matthews, Abercrombie & Fitch, and his fraternity--is that he is exactly like everyone else. Ken, whose Japanese American family has been in the United States for generations, is mainstream; for Hua, the son of Taiwanese immigrants, who makes 'zines and haunts Bay Area record shops, Ken represents all that he defines himself in opposition to. The only thing Hua and Ken have in common is that, however they engage with it, American culture doesn't seem to have a place for either of them. But despite his first impressions, Hua and Ken beco

本書是Dale Peck結合回憶錄與長篇隨筆的作品，回望 1987 至 1996 年間愛滋疫情最動盪的時期。作者以拼貼式結構，穿梭抒情、評論與報導書寫，描繪街頭行動者、藝術家與感染者的日常，也直面政府的遲疑與冷漠。從紐約、倫敦到密爾瓦基，書寫不僅關於疾病，更關於恐懼、慾望、身分與公共行動。本書細膩呈現AIDS Coalition to Unleash Power的現場經驗，同時反思文學如何在危機中保存記憶，為那個仍未遠去的年代留下必要而清醒的見證。A Flavorwire Best Nonfiction Book of 2015A Bay Area Reporter Best LGBT Nonfiction of 2015 Selection"Novelist and critic Dale Peck's latest work--part memoir, part extended essay--is a foray into what the author calls "the second half of the first half of the AIDS epidemic," i.e., the period between 1987, when the AIDS Coalition to Unleash Power (ACT UP) was founded, and 1996, when the advent of combination therapy transformed AIDS from a virtual death sentence into a chronic manageable illness.

本書以多巴哥島小鎮為舞台，描寫少年在日常與貧困中成長，外來家庭的出現帶來短暫的光亮，也掀開階級、金錢與責任的現實界線。Oonya Kempadoo以節制而詩性的文字，寫出欲望如何遮蔽差異，又如何讓不平等無所遁形。Cliff and Ossi have grown up in Plymouth on the island of Tobago, their lives turning on the axis of small-town life. One day they watch the arrival of a couple and their child at a luxurious house overlooking the ocean. The couple invites Cliff into their home and lives, and in that cool “flim-style” house, the harsh, brittle life of urban Plymouth is kept briefly at bay, desires obscuring differences in class and race. But then things begin to go wrong—money vanishes, the couple’s car disappears—and those differences are brought suddenly to light, raising unsettling questions about relationships, wealth, and responsibility.“Oonya Kempadoo’s Tide Running is effective, beautiful, and haunting . . . and pulses with a distinctive Caribbean rhythm.” —Glenville Lovell, Washington Post“With a finely tuned ear for the cadences of the Caribbean . . ..

他讓新加坡插旗全世界！他以新加坡為榮，新加坡也以他為傲！ 全球酒店大亨、新加坡華人企業家、2024年富比士新加坡富豪排行榜位列第四。從雜貨鋪到160億美元商業帝國新加坡豐隆集團背後的郭氏家族是東南亞優秀華商的代表之一。豐隆集團從一間雜貨鋪起家，經過郭氏家族三代的努力，建構了一個包含房地產投資與開發、旅館、金融和工業四大板塊的商業帝國。根據彭博社2024年亞洲Top20超富家族榜單，郭氏家族財富高達160億美元，位居新加坡第一。本書帶你走進新加坡郭氏家族。房地產大亨養成：成長、經歷，與經商哲學・在新加坡，郭令明和城市發展集團是家喻戶曉的名字和商號。但是除了偶爾新聞上的消息之外，有關這位掌舵人的其他一切幾乎是個謎，因為他行事低調，且不愛張揚。首次披露這位地產業大亨的成長經歷與經商哲學。・貫穿全書的，是家族企業的壯大，比較隱約的則是父子之情。這份情不是輕柔表達的，郭令明先生的「情」是一種對父親的繼承──不只是事業，還有思路和風格。・這本書跟很多人物傳記不太一樣，或許因為主題就是「在商言商」，我們看到他從被父親鞭策，到後來自我要求的過程。看到他的冷靜、認真，怎麼培養起獨到的商業眼光，怎麼達成每一宗交易。本書不只是傳記，還有一些巨額交易精彩內幕．郭令明可說是新加坡最成功，也是最神秘的企業家之一。雖然他的公司是亞洲最大的企業集團之一，是股市的藍籌股，品牌也是家喻戶曉，但是他這個集團掌門人，經常沉默寡言，有時還給人一種神秘感。．他的商業帝國遍及五大洲，旗下還包括一些世界上最富盛名的酒店，但是他卻經常選擇避開人們的聚焦。很少人知道，郭令明在紐約可以與美國總統，也是地產大亨的川普平起平坐地交手。透過這本書，你會瞭解郭令明在新加坡的城市天空線扮演過什麼角色；他和美國總統川普有過怎麼樣的「交鋒」；他又是怎麼建立和佈局他的全球酒店王國？．他不但在倫敦受到前英國首相詹森的款待，也和沙特王子阿爾瓦利德攜手開發專案。在新加坡，很少人知道構成新加坡天際線的一些地標建築就是他促成的。其中就包括：濱海灣金沙酒店（Marina Bay Sands）、濱舫（The Sail）和風華南岸（South Beach）。《在商言商》首次披露這位傳奇商業鉅子，60年來如何在商界開疆擴土，從房地產到酒店業，從金融到製造業，以及一些不為人知的內幕。書中並不諱言郭令明與父親一度關係緊張，以及在華投資所遇到的挫折。書中
