國際侍酒師協會（ASI）評選世界最佳侍酒師米其林三星餐廳Le Bernardin葡萄酒總監——奧爾多．索姆（Aldo Sohm）首部巨作！釀造 × 產區 × 選購 × 品飲 × 餐搭看圖就看懂，直觀超簡單！ ◎市售葡萄酒從幾千元一瓶到上萬元都有，如何選擇？ ◎餐廳酒單上全是外文和專有名詞，看不懂也不敢亂點，怎麼辦？ ◎喝酒時總聽人說「先聞香再入口」，但我根本聞不出差別，為什麼？ ◎為何我都嘗不出酒類專家所謂的「特殊風味」？難道舌頭出問題？ ◎都說「愛喝酒更要懂酒」，下次慶功開香檳，該怎麼開話題以表現品味？ ——你也有以上困擾嗎？這些問題，去問侍酒師就對了。 侍酒師（sommelier）一詞源自法語，原指「負責運送食物或飲料的人」。 中世紀時，王室或貴族的宴會上，這些人因職業所需逐漸累積專業知識； 隨著餐飲文化發展，逐漸轉變為精通酒類選擇、保存與餐搭的專業人士。 ★世界最佳侍酒師首部巨作，最平易近人的新世代葡萄酒指南 本書作者奧爾多．索姆是全球備受尊崇的侍酒師。 曾於2008年獲選為國際侍酒師協會（Association de la Sommellerie Internationale, ASI） 世界最佳侍酒師（Best Sommelier of the World）。 奧爾多迄今已在紐約米其林三星餐廳Le Bernardin擔任葡萄酒總監超過十年。 （該餐廳自2005年起，已連續21年獲得米其林三星評鑑。） 最難能可貴的是，奧爾多討論葡萄酒的方式相當平易近人。 正如他在全書開頭所言： 「本書絕非鎖定葡萄酒同業或資深收藏家，而是寫給所有 『想認識勃根地葡萄酒，卻連勃根地在哪都不太確定』的讀者。」 入行以來的每個工作天，奧爾多都在餐廳裡協助客人挑選最適合的搭餐酒； 開過數以萬計的酒瓶、回答過無數關於酒單上數百款葡萄酒的提問。 正是這些來自第一線的侍酒經驗，給予他實際且獨到的視角。 在這本首部巨作《葡萄酒超圖解》裡，奧爾多透過簡單的圖表與活潑的插圖， 完美結合葡萄酒的專業知識及精闢見解，協助所有愛酒之人在零基礎狀態下， 無痛建立自身品酒觀，可謂新世代葡萄酒指南。 ★奧爾多．索姆的葡萄酒十大守則 1.品嘗、品嘗、品嘗！這是唯一的學習之道！ 2.人們可從一瓶好酒中學到很多，從一瓶不喜歡的酒中能學到的則更多。 3.保持

The Traitor Legions flee Terra in disarray, hounded by the remaining Loyalists, both sides hungry for every scrap of vengeance they can extract. This is a time of change; humanity has witnessed the dream of the Emperor’s Great Crusade unravel, and from their perspective, it’s all the fault of the Legions.The Traitor Warmaster is dead. Terra lies in ruins. The Emperor is silent. Amid the rubble of the Palace, shell-shocked survivors emerge into the light of an uncertain dawn. New powers are present now, ones that have travelled the length of the galaxy to bring salvation to the Imperium, though they are as readily cast as usurpers as redeemers.

The Hunting of the Snark relates in glittering verse the story of how the Bellman and his eccentric crew, who include a butcher, a baker, a beaver and a tailor, set off in quest of that most mysterious and elusive of creatures: the Snark. In 1959, Tove Jansson, the creator of Moomin Valley and its magical inhabitants, was commissioned to illustrate a Swedish edition of Lewis Carroll's miniature masterpiece. It proved an inspired choice, as the enigmatic charms of Jansson's illustrative style bring to life the beauty and strangeness of Carroll's tale.The minds of two of the greatest children's authors of the past 150 years meet on the page. Remarkably, amid the success of Tove Jansson's Moomin books, her unique edition of The Hunting of the Snark was forgotten, and has been unavailable for over fifty years. Now, for the first time, these beautiful illustrations are matched with Lewis Carroll's original English text, so that readers can encounter this wonderful adventure afresh through t

插圖是我們理解世界的另一種語言，當圖像開始說話，歷史便有了溫度！它讓信仰有了形象，讓思想有了顏色，也讓藝術，從宮廷與教堂，走進了書頁之中。▶古代插圖15世紀中期版畫印刷開始推廣之後，這種情況才開始有了變化：這時，書籍發展到了一個各階層讀者都可能獲得的新階段，這些讀者希望書中的圖畫有助於闡釋文字的內容。於是，插圖不再像4世紀以來主要強調裝飾作用，而同時還要能對文字有著闡釋甚至補充的作用。到了18、19世紀浪漫主義運動興起，插圖更獲得了新的生命，出現一種新的理念，即插圖藝術家能為文字提供一種富有想像的空間。▶巴洛克時代的插圖巴洛克時代，因其豪華的宮廷、壯觀的建築、幽雅的園林，特別是吉慶場合、劇院娛樂、婚禮、葬禮，更不必說皇家的各種節日，首先開始於上層，然後成為大眾的普遍需求，一切都反映了上層階級的審美趣味。所以這段時期也被稱作「豪華富麗的時代」（age of grandeur）。在這些場合中，需要藝術家們把自己最熟練的技巧奉獻出來。於是，就如在黑暗的中世紀，儘管外面是一片混亂，修道院裡仍然能夠繪製出華麗的手抄本書籍▶浪漫主義時代的插圖首先，為反對17世紀的巴洛克藝術和18世紀的洛可可藝術而興起的新古典主義，主張要恢復古希臘藝術高尚質樸和莊嚴肅穆的精髓，並以其和諧、明朗、嚴謹、普遍性和理想主義傳遍歐洲和整個世界。但同時新古典主義又常常表現出強烈的情感，這種現象到了後來便與個性、主觀、非理性、想像共為一體，發展成為一種被稱為浪漫主義的運動，橫掃整個西方文明。▶現代主義時代的插圖阿爾伯特．愛因斯坦於1905年提出的相對論，更從理論上闡明了事物變化的絕對性。如此說來，一切傳統，還有什麼不可改變的呢？他們考慮，完全可以不必以他人的經驗、期望和要求作為自己的重點，而是可以、甚至應該突破以往的傳統，隨自己的心意來進行創作。本書特色：本書以時代為脈絡，全面梳理歐洲插畫藝術從中世紀手抄本到現代主義的發展軌跡。從宗教裝飾畫到印刷革命、從巴羅克的戲劇性到浪漫主義的情感表現，本書不僅呈現技法與風格的轉折，也揭示插畫如何反映各時代的審美與文化精神，是理解西方藝術史與出版史的重要讀物。
