Over a span of 260 years, from 630 to 894, Japanese embassies to Tang China (ken-Tō shi) played a vital role in importing Tang governance and culture to Japan, significantly shaping the political and cultural landscape of an emerging Japanese state with codes of law (ritsuryō). However, the seventeenth embassy during the Jōwa period, fraught with turmoil, marked the final mission to Tang China. Alongside disasters and significant loss of life during the voyage, mysteries persist around Vice-ambassador Ono no Takamura's refusal to board the ship, the government's insistence on the mission, and the objectives behind dispatching this mission to China. In this volume, Professor Saeki Arikiyo traces the journey from departure to return, focusing on the individuals involved and the prevailing trends of the era. Drawing upon a rich tapestry of historical sources, including records from Shoku Nihon kōki and the accompanying monk Ennin's Nit-Tō guhō junrei kōki, Arikiyo delves into the arduous

制定〈偵探小說十誡〉偵探小說理論的奠基者羅納德‧諾克斯與克莉絲蒂、切斯特頓並肩的黃金推理名家，強調公平的智力挑戰，挑戰您的邏輯極限！推理迷必收藏的百年經典──【故事簡介】一名爵士留下遺囑，將一筆龐大信託基金留給孫子德瑞克，但有個條件，他必須活過二十五歲才能繼承，否則遺產將歸其關係惡劣的堂弟奈傑爾。由於德瑞克體弱多病且債務纏身，債權人強制他向「難以名狀保險公司」投保。兩位堂兄弟為了滿足姑婆希望他們和睦相處的心願，將展開一場健康行程，展開泰晤士河獨木舟旅行。結果德瑞克在偏遠的希普科特船閘附近離奇失蹤，現場只剩下損毀的獨木舟與他的外套。保險公司偵探邁爾斯・布萊登介入，發現現場充滿令人費解的矛盾：獨木舟被發現時底部有巨大鑿痕，不像單純意外。現場還遺留有赤腳腳印，暗示有人上岸後迅速消失。更關鍵的是，警方找到了一捲底片，其中竟有德瑞克平躺在船中宛如屍體的特寫照片。然而，奈傑爾看似完美的火車不在場證明。這究竟是精心策劃的謀殺，還是天衣無縫的失蹤詐保？偵探必須在線索和嫌疑人的迷宮中找出真相。【系列特色】羅納德‧諾克斯生涯著有六本長篇故事。順序如下：陸橋謀殺案　The Viaduct Murder (1925)三個閥門　The Three Taps (1927)閘邊足印　The Footsteps at the Lock (1928)穀倉裡的屍體　The Body in the Silo (1933)死而不止　Still Dead (1934)雙重騙局　Double Cross Purposes (1937)

2012諾貝爾文學獎得主──莫言，最重要的長篇代表作之一第一部關注「現代中國60年生育歷史」，直視中國現實與人性議題「莫言將夢幻寫實主義與民間故事、歷史和當代社會合而為一。」──諾貝爾獎委員會The Nobel Prize in Literature 2012 was awarded to Mo Yan "who with hallucinatory realism merges folk tales, history and the contemporary".計畫生育毫無疑問是中國幾十年來的大事件和熱點問題，牽扯到千家萬戶，許多人的命運……您說您的腦海裡已經有了一個騎著自行車在結了冰的大河上疾馳的女醫生形象，一個揹著藥箱、撐著雨傘、挽著褲腳、與成群結隊的青蛙搏鬥著前進的女醫生的形象，一個手托嬰兒、滿袖血污、朗聲大笑的女醫生形象，一個口叼香菸、愁容滿面、衣衫不整的女醫生形象……我的《蛙》，通過描述姑姑的一生，既展示了幾十年來的鄉村生育史，又毫不避諱地揭露了當下中國生育問題上的混亂景象。直面社會敏感問題是我寫作以來的一貫堅持，因為文學的精魂還是要關注人的問題，關注人的痛苦，人的命運。而敏感問題，總是能最集中地表現出人的本性。當然，寫敏感問題需要勇氣，需要技巧，但更需要的是一個作家的良心。作家要寫靈魂深處最痛的地方。寫作的根本目的不是對某項政策的批判，而是對人性的剖析和自我救贖。寫人的靈魂，寫人的懺悔，這也許就是《蛙》這部作品的價值所在。 ──莫言擅長說故事的莫言，在以高密東北鄉為主題書寫的一系列小說後，推出更發人深省、目前為止還不曾有中國作家敢於踫觸的「中國計畫生育」議題的長篇大作。對於這項影響中國六十多年的基本國策，莫言的《蛙》可謂別具開拓意義。全書由四封長信和一部話劇構成。以主角蝌蚪和日本作家杉谷義人感人的通信為經，以鄉村女醫生姑姑驚心動魄的一生為緯；穿插以人體器官為嬰孩命名的風俗、童年啃煤炭的飢餓經驗、為了傳宗接代暗地尋得代理孕母的無奈情事……，諸多荒謬的情節交織出高密東北鄉的變遷與其絕世風土民情。「蛙」有多重的隱喻：是寫作的耐心象徵；是出生嬰娃的哭聲；是造子女媧的「媧」；是高密東北鄉的圖騰。小說藉由一個鄉村婦科女醫生（姑姑）的形象，傳達出對生命強烈的人道關懷，也反映了新中國近六十年波瀾起伏的計畫生育史。莫言
