本書深入追溯莎樂美的歷史淵源與聖經背景，從考古與傳說中尋找她真實的面貌，並橫跨繪畫、雕塑、文學、戲劇、音樂、舞蹈與電影等藝術領域，探討她如何成為西方文化中象徵「愛與毀滅」的經典形象。透過大師之作，呈現莎樂美如何在不同時代中被重塑與再現，是一本結合歷史考證與藝術賞析的跨領域研究之作。希羅底的女兒進來跳舞，使希律和同席的人都歡喜。王就對女子說，妳隨意向我求什麼，我必給妳。又對她起誓說，隨妳向我求什麼，就是我國的一半，我也必給妳。──「我願王立時把施洗約翰的頭放在盤子裡給我。」莎樂美說。貝諾佐．戈佐利〈莎樂美的舞蹈〉：文藝復興時期的戲劇性敘事與人物對比早期義大利文藝復興時期著名畫家貝諾佐．戈佐利（Benozzo Gozzoli, 1420-1407）以油畫〈三王行列〉和為佛羅倫斯梅迪契．里卡爾小教堂所作的一組壁畫而聞名。他於1461年創作了一幅〈莎樂美的舞蹈〉（The Dance of Salome）的油畫。此畫以莎樂美為中心人物，她在向希律獻舞，而這位王者是幾乎有些驚恐看著她的舞蹈，王后則坐在一旁；其他的人表情各異，顯示了不同的心態。作者特地將施洗者約翰的被殺安排在左邊的一個角落，使主題形成強烈的反差。整幅作品場面宏大，色彩濃烈，風格與中世紀的繪畫完全不同。莎樂美題材的文學傳承不僅是中世紀和文藝復興前後，就是19世紀、甚至20世紀的作家、藝術家，對莎樂美的傳說，也同樣會像早些年的藝術家一樣的熟知和感興趣。同樣也就不難理解，莎樂美的故事就很自然地會受到眾多作家的青睞，激發他們投入自己的情感來重現這一故事。布萊恩．派克（Brian Parker）在〈斯特林堡的「朱麗小姐」和莎樂美的傳說〉（Brian Parker： Strindberg’s Miss Julie and the Legend of Salome）中曾作過統計，說是至1912年，僅僅在法國，就難以置信地竟然有2,789位詩人、作家曾運用過莎樂美的故事作為他們創作的題材。當然，這些作品，大多都沒有流傳下來，如今所知的以此題材創作的最著名作家，主要有福樓拜（Gustave Flaubert）、馬拉美（Stéphane Mallarmé）、于斯曼（Joris-Karl Huysmans）等幾位。馬拉梅筆下的莎樂美：超越故事表層的美學追求雖然眾所周知，從中世紀到文藝復興時期，已有大量的繪畫再現過有關莎樂美的故事，但是

詩詞，是心靈的音符青花，是瓷器的水墨白地青花，間裝五色，為今古之冠。──明．沈德符作者以深厚的文化底蘊，帶領讀者走入詩詞與瓷藝交織的璀璨世界，解讀各式不同青花瓷的紋飾和造型。其中有貫穿古今的典故、東西文化的交會、伊斯蘭樣式的影響、歷史源流的演變，詩詞故事的敘說、獻禮祭祀的用器、佛教寶相花紋的隱喻、密教梵文的種子字、《易經》的天地之數等，埋藏其中的深意不一而足，值得細細品味思索。在逐步的推敲琢磨中，漸漸領略青花的詩意、藝術與風采，滿目繽紛而美不勝收。《青花宴》以詩意的筆觸賞析青花瓷的風華，六章如六道風景，各自鋪陳稀世珍品、瑞獸花鳥、歲月流光，串聯古詩意境與瓷器紋飾，讓讀者在閱讀中與千年前的工匠與詩人對話。這不僅是一本談青花瓷的書，更是一場穿越時間的文化盛宴。Step into a luminous world where poetry meets porcelain. This elegant volume invites readers on a lyrical journey through the Ming dynasty's finest blue and white ceramics—each chapter titled after a classical Chinese poem and interpreted through the lens of verse.With refined scholarship and poetic sensitivity, the author unveils how the spirit of ancient poems echoes in the form, motif, and glaze of porcelain masterpieces. A banquet of beauty and meaning awaits—where every vessel tells a story, and every poem reveals a hidden glaze of time.【本書特色】◎瓷器的收藏，作者認為不僅在於鑑識是否為到代的真品，還在於藝術上是否有可取之處、是否在器用之外別具詩意。一如徐悲鴻所言：「寧買假而似真，不買真而似假。」因此，更值得品味的，是青花瓷上展現的意境與祕境，此即本書意旨所在，這是一本市

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.
