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

習近平時代的網路熱搜關鍵字你今天「潤」了嗎？第一本記錄中國人逃離中國「潤日」實錄首度系統性深掘社會與經濟衝擊！從「用腳投票」的中國人視角知中派．中生代日本記者，對在日「脱中者」的第一手調查報導特別收錄+1∣台灣版作者獨家中文序特別收錄+2∣野島剛╳福澤喬雙推薦序特別收錄+3∣了解當代中國必備！流行語小字典35句●日中歷史不共戴天，南京殺我同胞30萬，為什麼中國人還要前進「敵國」？○港區、文京區……目標鎖定高級地段與旅遊景點，遊日本不如買日本？●近一波「潤」出中國的新移民，與原本「中華系」新華僑有何不同？○「政治性抑鬱」的中國知識分子，為何決定「潤」出中國？●隱藏的中國人社群網絡，正逐步改變日本社會的未來？○日本有可能孕育出下一個顛覆舊中國的「孫中山」嗎？「潤學」是什麼？中國社交媒體上的新興詞彙在眾多中國網民流行語當中，「潤」是指因為各式理由選擇逃離中國、尋求更好生活的行徑。在中國語意裡，「潤」原本有利潤、作為過得很舒適的「滋潤」之意，在中文漢語拼音裡剛好是由r、u、n拼成，與英文run（逃跑）構成雙關語。中國在近幾年歷經新冠肺炎疫情封城、經濟下行、全球經濟局勢不穩等動盪局勢下，在這「歷史的垃圾時間」裡，選擇潤出中國的人愈來愈多，甚至出現「潤學」與傳播「潤學」思想與教戰手則的《潤學綱領》。「潤日」挑動中日兩國恩怨情仇的敏感神經作者踏上調查「潤日」旅程的起因，是一名潤日者、亦是作者故友Akid（王懿）在日本之死所掀起的瘋狂網路霸凌。她在二○二三年因故過世後，社群媒體X（舊twitter）帳號遭受大量中國網民的瘋狂「出征」，冷嘲熱諷「潤日叛國賊死得好」。這些強烈扭曲的愛國主義，讓作者重新燃起對中國社會的好奇，以及興起想了解「潤日」人群的強烈欲望。當中國人內捲「捲」不動、不想「躺」平，但又不甘作為「韭菜」任人宰割時，這些渴望「潤」到海外的人，究竟為何選擇「敵國」日本？而身處牆內牆外的人們，又是如何看待潤日？這正是作者在書中試圖解答的問題。潤日的多重宇宙潤日者除了包括國際專業人才、超級富翁之外，也不乏流亡知識分子、藝文工作者與異議媒體，更有為數不少拒絕下一代接受中國高壓教育體制、或者希望安穩過日的上層中產階級。透過大量訪談、實地探查與報導資料，作者試圖勾勒出「潤日群體」與過往「日本華僑」的差異，探求這些人的共同特點與異質多元性，並了解他們在日本的真實生活。不管日本人與日本社會

中國如何從「4億顧客」轉變為「8億勞工」？曾經，美國最倚賴的「世界工廠」──中國趨同於全球資本主義體系的歷程一九七○年代如何為美中經貿關係以及當今全球經濟格局奠定基礎形塑了後來「Made in China」的全球經濟現象一九三七年，一位在上海住了25年的美國前記者、改行廣告人寫了一本暢銷書《四億顧客》，書中誇大地敘述他在中國新興大都市向中國消費者銷售美國產品的經歷，這本大受歡迎的書在出版第一年就贏得國家圖書獎（National Book Award），並且四度再版。在美國商人心中投下了前景無限的想像：中國市場能夠吸納美國的過剩產品，從而帶來巨大利潤。一九七○年代，那「關鍵的十年」間，在美國外交官的協助下，美國資本家與中國政府共同合作，徹底改變了「中國市場」的本質含義：從消費者市場，轉變成提供低價勞動力的來源地。美國高層政治風向與對中政策的轉變，一手扶植了中國製造霸權的崛起。本書探討一九七○年代美中貿易關係的轉變，特別是中國市場從「4億顧客」轉變為「8億勞工」的過程；並為中國的改革開放奠定基礎，並解釋了「中國製造」全球經濟現象的歷史根源。★最努力把中國從冷戰敵人重新塑造成友善的貿易夥伴的人，正是美國資本主義的領導人。★為了讓中國與全球資本主義接軌，美國及其經濟體系必須順應中國的需求。▍你會看到：從未被公開的資料所呈現的美中貿易史作者藉由英文（美國）、中文（中國）兩邊的資料以及封存企業文件等，重探廿世紀七○年代中國改革開放、擴大與美國之間的貿易，中美兩國重建外交、貿易與文化轉變的重要進程，並且揭示了中國經濟如何趨同全球資本主義，及其產生的效應。在這個過程中，世界上最大的共產主義國家反而成為全球資本主義不可或缺的重要存在。通過研究中英文資料，包括此前未被探索的企業檔案，作者追溯了這一轉變的軌跡。作者點出這一轉變源於美中兩國政策制定者、美國外交官、創新企業家、華裔商人，以及波音、西屋電氣、潘尼百貨和大通曼哈頓銀行等美國大企業高管的共同行動。早在沃爾瑪和蘋果進入中國之前，維羅妮卡•葉、韓凡宇、蘇珊•雷諾茲和大衛•洛克菲勒等商界人士就已經掀起了一場具有深遠影響的貿易革命。雖然中國的經濟重組對建立這些聯繫至關重要，作者也強調了一個常被忽視但極其重要的因素：美國企業推動去工業化的努力，以及政界對這一趨勢的接納。因此，我們在這樣的進程中，同時看見了兩個重要的轉變：中美和解、美國去工業
