◎美國文豪、諾貝爾文學獎得主，約翰史坦貝克（John Steinbeck）重新鍛造的經典傳說――騎士精神的永恆經典◎ 義大利國寶級畫家，羅倫佐．馬托蒂（Lorenzo Mattotti）精心繪製的雙書封、十九張絕美插圖◎ 〈附錄：創作過程與思考特別〉揭露史坦貝克與友人、經紀人、編輯的書信集，顯示文學大師的創作思考過程亞瑟王，歐洲史上流傳最久、影響最深、跨媒介最廣的傳奇英雄人物，是歐洲烏托邦式理想君王的原型。他以圓桌制度――無主座的正義――強化了騎士精神（chivalry），將其昇華到一個高尚的精神狀態，並對後世的紳士精神產生了深遠的影響。同時，他與他的王后桂妮薇兒，以及天下第一的騎士蘭斯洛特之間的三角戀，也是歐洲文學中最淵遠流長的「愛與罪」母題。這段「個人情感與社會秩序衝突」的故事，直接奠定了歐洲羅曼史（romance）、宮廷戀、乃至現代言情小說的戲劇性基礎。這個據信流傳了一千五百年的故事，一路上滋養了人們對榮耀、正義、勇氣、愛與義務的想像。十五世紀，湯瑪斯．馬洛里（Thomas Malory）以中古英語寫下《亞瑟王之死》（Morte d’ Arthur），為這個傳說留下了文學範本。這本書啟發了後代無數的讀者，也衍伸出無數的創作。二十世紀美國文豪，也是諾貝爾文學獎得主的約翰．史坦貝克（John Steinbeck），是其中最閃亮的代表。約翰．史坦貝克不只童年從亞瑟王的故事裡得到閱讀啟蒙，更重新創作了《亞瑟王和圓桌騎士》（The Acts of King Arthur and His Noble Knights）。《亞瑟王和圓桌騎士》不僅僅是一本中古英語《亞瑟王之死》的現代翻譯，而是一場跨時空的文學對話。他以二十世紀的語言重新發掘亞瑟王故事角色的心理，讓古代英雄的困境、戰鬥與名譽，與現代人的孤獨、焦慮和理想對齊。史坦貝克曾經對自己的文學經紀人伊莉莎白．歐提斯（Elizabeth Otis）說到：「我不是在翻譯馬洛里。我是在試著理解他想追尋的是什麼，去找出他夢中的那個故事。」天下無敵，完美卻痛苦的蘭斯洛特、看透了命運，卻無法改變命運的梅林、一統了天下，卻為和平盛世苦惱的亞瑟王……史坦貝克的筆，將亞瑟王與他的騎士從英雄傳說的領域裡劃分出來，變成了一面映照人性的鏡子。他的《亞瑟王和圓桌騎士》，是西方文學正典中最後一部以小說家之手，重新鍛造的經典傳說。當代義大利國寶級畫家羅倫

不敢相信！一次典藏紀伯倫四部重要經典：《先知》、《先知花園》、《先行者》、《人之子耶穌》。這四部作品像四面鏡子，映照出他在不同生命階段的思想與心程。他寫的不只是文字，也是靈魂的啟示錄。在這個喧囂與焦慮並存的時代，紀伯倫暮鼓晨鐘般的文字顯得格外珍貴。☆ 世界暢銷經典──百年來最能撫慰人心的文字。★ 陪伴著每一代徬徨中的人們，迷惘時刻的必備之書。☆ 每天一篇紀伯倫，讀懂存在的苦難與喜悅。★ 你不必懂所有答案，但你能在其中找到光。 紀伯倫（Kahlil Gibran）是黎巴嫩裔的美籍詩人、哲學家與藝術家，被譽為阿拉伯現代文學的巨擘，也是靈性文學的代表人物。他的創作融合東方的哲思與西方的人文精神，以簡潔而深情的文字傳達生命的真實與美。他的語言如光，也如風――既溫柔又有力量，能穿越人心最幽微的角落。紀伯倫以詩的節奏書寫思想，以畫家的筆觸描繪靈魂，讓理性與感性在字裡行間交會，開創出獨具魅力的「紀伯倫風格」。本書收錄紀伯倫的四部經典作品――《先知》（The Prophet，1923）談論愛情、婚姻、工作、自由、痛苦等人生各大主題，《先知花園》（The Garden of the Prophet，1931）更多地反映紀伯倫對自然、宇宙、人類命運的思索，《先行者》（The Forerunner，1920）透過寓言小故事探討人性、靈魂的掙扎與救贖，《人之子耶穌》（Jesus, The Son of Man，1928）從不同人物的視角（如門徒、敵人、平民）描繪耶穌的形象。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。 若你曾懷疑信仰、迷惘人生，或想更誠實地面對自己，這本書會是你的同行者。它不急於給出答案，而是邀請你靜下來傾聽內在的聲音；它不指引方向，卻為你點亮光。在這個喧囂與焦慮並存的時代，《先知，紀伯倫的言與靈》是一座靜默的高峰，讓人重新學會凝視、傾聽與感受。

It invites readers to explore the intricate relationships between dreams, politics, and the Chinese writing system in early modern China.Thoroughly researched and written in an accessible manner, this book presents a series of historical encounters that reveal how Ming scholars countered instability by compiling and editing dream texts.

英國《金融時報》推薦年度必讀、《經濟學人》撰文推薦美元的霸權，是美國的特權，也是全世界的問題如今美元霸權並不穩固，全球經濟與個人財富的遊戲規則勢必全面改寫在全球金融秩序裡，美元已經稱霸超過一個世紀，從二戰後一路成為全球唯一的主導貨幣。因而享有無與倫比的特權：可以透過舉債與印鈔來支撐經濟，把風險轉嫁給其他國家。然而，美元的霸主地位並非理所當然，它的崛起除了依靠美國的經濟與軍事實力，更仰賴一連串的歷史機遇。但是，這樣的霸權地位並非永恆不變。當前美元雖然立於高峰，卻同時面臨多重挑戰：．人民幣、歐元、日圓、數位貨幣與比特幣競相崛起．低通膨、低利率的環境正在瓦解，經濟風險全面升溫．美國的政治動盪與過度自信，正在加速美元體系的崩解．美元霸權的地位並不穩固，很可能被推翻知名經濟學家肯尼斯．羅格夫在這本新書中，將多年來的研究成果，結合自身經歷，包括與政策制定者和世界領導人的第一手互動，揭示美元如何塑造全球70年的金融格局。這不僅是探究全球貨幣興衰的書，對投資人、企業領袖、政策制定者而言，更是對未來的深刻警示。強力推薦前美國聯準會主席 班．柏南奇前IMF首席經濟學家 拉古拉姆．拉詹西洋棋世界棋王 蓋瑞．卡斯帕洛夫《華盛頓郵報》專欄作家 法里德．扎卡利亞紐約大學榮譽教授 魯里埃爾．魯比尼知名經濟學家 泰勒．科文各界好評羅格夫是世界首屈一指的國際金融專家。在這本書中，他結合全球經濟決策者、學者與觀察者的豐富經驗，帶來深具啟發性且淺顯易懂的分析，探討即將威脅全球經濟與金融穩定的挑戰。――班．柏南奇（Ben Bernanke），美國前聯準會主席羅格夫先前的著作敏銳的預見金融危機可能帶來的風險，他的新書則提出警告，美元在全球經濟體系中的核心地位可能受到威脅，這是所有美國人都應該關注的議題。――法里德．扎卡利亞（Fareed Zakaria），《華盛頓郵報》（Washington Post）專欄作家本書結合全球金融的專業剖析，以及當代頂尖經濟學家的親身經歷，既具教育價值，又令人讀來津津有味。――拉古拉姆．拉詹（Raghuram Rajan），前國際貨幣基金首席經濟學家、《第三支柱》（The Third Pillar）作者羅格夫以西洋棋特級大師般的戰略遠見，剖析全球金融局勢……這是一本出色的著作。――泰勒．科文（Tyler Cowen），知名經濟學家、《與泰勒對話》（Conversations w

INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLEROne could live with almost anything, so long as they had something to live for. ‘Exquisite and devastating. It won’t fail to move you’ ­– Shelley Parker-Chan, author of She Who Became the SunInspired by the legend of Xishi, one of the famous Four Beauties of Ancient China, A Song to Drown Rivers is an epic historical fantasy about womanhood, war, sacrifice and love against all odds as the fate of two kingdoms hangs in a delicate balance.Her beauty hides a deadly purpose . . .Since birth, Xishi’s extraordinary beauty has been seen as a blessing.

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

《 引領全局:給引導者的實踐筆記 》( From the Front of the Room: Notes on Facilitation for Experienced Practitioners - Revised Edition )，由丹 · 紐曼( Dan Newman )所著，是一本關於引導者在大型複雜工作坊中如何與參與者互動,並為已具備工作坊設計與交付執行基礎知識的人們所撰寫的實用指南和實踐反思。本書的核心宗旨是將焦點從工作坊的運作機制( 例如議程或特定活動 )轉移到引導者細膩且以人為本的行為模式上。紐曼認為，引導者的有效性在於其支持群體社會與心理動態的能力,影響整個系統,而不僅僅是作為一個對話仲裁者。這種觀點將引導者定位為一個獨特的外部觀察者與內部協作者，其清晰的視角能夠幫助群體解決複雜問題並推動系統性的變革。
