東方詩哲紀伯倫——以詩與寓言交織出靈魂最深的低語。他的作品闡述愛、生命、自由、靈性、自然以及人類處境等普世主題。這是一本讓人願意「一生重讀」的作品，每天一篇紀伯倫，讀懂人生的悲傷與祝福。紀伯倫（Kahlil Gibran）是黎巴嫩裔的美籍詩人、哲學家與藝術家，公認為阿拉伯現代文學的巨擘，也被譽為旅美文學的旗手與靈魂人物。他在文學與繪畫領域皆有卓越成就，尤其以融合東西方思想、靈性與詩意的文字風格聞名於世，開創了獨具一格的「紀伯倫風格」。他的作品情感濃烈、意蘊深邃，文字灑脫自然，富有節奏感與音樂性，讀來朗朗上口、餘韻悠長。在東方文學史上，紀伯倫的創作兼具理性與感性，不僅蘊含哲理性的冷峻與嚴肅，也展現出詠嘆式的浪漫與抒情。他善於在看似平易的語句中揭示深刻的生命智慧，並以妙喻啟發人心，在詩歌、散文與小說創作上皆自成一格，不落俗套。本書收錄紀伯倫的四部經典作品——《沙與沫》（Sand and Foam, 1926）風格極簡卻富有哲理，《暴風集》（The Storm, 1920）探討人性的光明與黑暗，批判社會的舊習陋俗；《瘋子》（The Madman, 1918）透過「瘋子」這個角色批判社會偽善與宗教僵化，《流浪者》（The Wanderer, 1932）蘊含哲學與靈性意義，值得品味。每部皆展現其獨特的風格與思想面貌，既是他藝術創作的縮影，也為現代讀者開啟一扇探索心靈與人生的窗口。若你曾經懷疑信仰、困惑人生，或想更誠實面對自己，這本書將是你的同行者。它不解釋萬物，但讓你渴望理解自己。在這充滿噪音的世界裡，它是一座寂靜高峰，給你時間與空間重新定義「活著」的重量。★導讀推薦中央研究院歐美研究所兼任研究員----單德興★共感推薦 （依來函順序刊登）․國立政治大學阿拉伯語文學系退休教授----鄭慧慈․國立臺北藝術大學藝術跨域所教授----楊凱麟․知名作家----彭樹君

美國著名女性都市計劃學者Jane Jacobs在她的世紀經典名著「The Death and Life of Great American Cities」（1961）裡曾經說過：「無趣、沒有活力的城市， 事實是因為自身埋藏了走向毀滅的種子。……而活力、多樣、緊湊的城市，具備了處理問題的充足能力，因此保有不斷再生的種子。」Charles Landry在其經典之作 「The Creative City: A Toolkit for Urban Innovators」（2000, 2008）一書中，特別提到「21世紀將是城市世紀，『創意城市』成為一種行動的號召。……『創意』就是當今城市的命脈，應該將城市的觀察焦點放在『人』的身上。」在創意城市理論中，Richard Florida（2002）提出「創意階級」與「3T」理論，主張美國城市應該制訂足以吸引「創意階級」前來的政策才行，堪稱是先驅者，但其理論在「地方經濟的發展」上仍有不足。Florida為了彌補先前理論的不足，分別於2005年發表一篇名為「The world is spiky」的論文，以及2008年出版專書「Who’s Your City? How the Creative Economy is Making Where to Live the Most Important Decision of Your Life」，進一步主張「尖峰都市」（Spiky City）與「地點」（Place）對當今每個人生活的重要性，而其重要性是來自於「創意經濟」，Florida自此即可將他的「創意理論」與「城市地方經濟」彼此關聯起來。他的研究結果顯示：「世界是平的」此一神話並非事實，全球多元化與分殊化造成城市經濟結構已大不同，選擇居住地點也決定了人們的「幸福」。個性開放者群聚是區域創新及經濟成長的驅動因素。「開放」與兩個特別的因素有關：一是「美感」，二是「好奇心」。區域創意及創新與多元化、活力以及開放有關，但與社會資本無關。然而，正當全世界關注並熱愛「創意城市理論」之際，Thomas Hutton在他的2016年新書「Cities and the Cultural Economy」中特別提到：文創經濟在城市中可能造成的不公平現象，並且預先告訴文創經濟研究者與政策制定者，必須設想有效方案。Florida也於2017年出版一本新書：「T
