平庸的人聯合起來，以大眾的名義佔據了最高社會權力★ 西方剖析大眾行為的經典著作★ 《泰晤士報》評為：「二戰以來影響世界的100本書之一」★ 英、法、德、義、葡、荷、俄、日等多國語言版本暢銷全球■ 一部剖析大眾行為的經典之作作者闡述的是20世紀歐洲社會奇異現象：一些確知而且滿足自己平庸的人，不但拒絕提昇自己，反而聚集其他同樣平庸的人，以大眾的名義來干涉諸如政治、科學、文化、藝術等等，需要有深度知識、敏銳判斷力、強烈責任心才能勝任的事務。■ 「大眾的反叛」對社會產生的影響作者認為當時歐洲社會是由兩種類型的人構成的，他們分別是少數精英和大眾；那麼，「少數精英」是誰？「大眾」又是誰？奧特加進一步解釋說，那些具備特殊資質的人就是少數精英，不具備特殊資質的人就是大眾，二者不是固定屬於某個階級，在各階級中，都存在著精英和大眾。可是，就「大眾」這個詞本身的含義來講，大眾連把握自己個人生活的能力都不具備，更不用說做這個世界的統治者了。所以，這一新現象的出現，實際上代表了歐洲正面臨新的危機；這一危機會導致民不聊生、國勢衰敗，甚至還會導致文明沒落。這種危機已經在歷史上不止一次的出現過了，所以，人們已經瞭解並熟悉了它的面貌、特徵及其產生的嚴重後果；這一現象被稱之為「大眾的反叛」（the rebellion of the masses）。

A gripping middle-grade history that offers a fresh look at the groundbreaking 1963 March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom by spotlighting the protest's radical roots and the underappreciated role of Black women--includes a wealth of contemporary black-and-white photos throughout. Six decades ago, on August 28, 1963, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his iconic "I Have a Dream" speech during the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom--a moment often revered as the culmination of this Black-led protest. But at its core, the March on Washington was not a beautiful dream of future integration; it was a mass outcry for jobs and freedom NOW--not at some undetermined point in the future. It was a revolutionary march with its own controversies and problems, the themes of which still resonate to this day. Without diminishing the words of Dr. King, More Than a Dream looks at the march through a wider lens, using Black newspaper reports as a primary resource, recognizing the overlooked wo

中華民國外交部網站在「臺灣的國際法地位」一文中指出，1943年12月1日，中、美、英三國發表《開羅宣言》（Cairo Declaration），具體要求戰後日本「須將竊自中國的東北四省、臺灣與澎湖歸還中華民國」。1945年7月26日，中、美、英三國領袖發布《波茲坦公告》（Potsdam Proclamation），其第8條重申「《開羅宣言》之條件必須貫徹實施」。1945年8月14日，日本接受《波茲坦公告》，宣布無條件投降，並於同年9月2日在美國密蘇里軍艦上簽署《日本降伏文書》（Japanese Instrument of Surrender）。該文書第1條中載明「茲接受美、中、英、蘇四國政府領袖於1945年7月26日於波茲坦所發表及所列舉之條款。換言之，《波茲坦公告》第8條有關《開羅宣言》之條件必須貫徹實施，係日本於《降伏文書》中所承諾之事項，日本當然必須履行，將東北四省、臺灣、澎湖歸還中華民國。 時間回到1943年11月，中華民國全體軍民，已經在戰火中奮鬥了六年餘。此時收到盟軍的訊息，將在遙遠的埃及開羅舉行中、美、英三國領袖會議，這是太平洋戰爭爆發、中國戰區成立、躍身「四強」之後，首次的世界級外交場合。儘管日軍的攻勢並沒有停歇，常德會戰開打，國軍第七十四軍第五十七師八千餘官兵，在師長余程萬的帶領下死守湖南常德，力拼一場東方的史達林格勒之役。 國民政府主席蔣中正與夫人宋美齡女士在國內戰雲密布之際，率領中國代表團，一行共十八人，飛越駝峰航線，途經印度，輾轉前往開羅。會議於11月22日召開，26日落幕，12月1日公報發布，也就是我們現在所稱的《開羅宣言》。 五天的密集討論，大小會談，還包括歡迎宴會與拜訪等等行程，究竟三國代表團之間有什麼樣的互動？就政治、軍事、經濟問題商談了什麼？公報的定案版本又是如何產生的？除了侍從室祕書人員幫蔣中正留下的紀錄以外，本書蒐集了代表團十六位團員中十一位的返國報告，見證了開羅會議舉行的過程。 值得特別提出的是，蔣中正的英文並不好，因此在外交場合中，身體微恙的宋美齡女士就扮演了極為重要的角色，除了肩任部分的翻譯工作之外，與羅斯福、邱吉爾兩位領袖的斡旋，更是辛勞備極。 在開羅會議結束，代表團一行返回重慶，蔣中正掛念心中的，便是常德會戰的戰情。因為國軍的勝敗，是國力的象徵，影響及於這場三國領袖會議的談判籌碼與發言空間。在劃時代的外交空前勝利，中華

羅伯．伯頓的《憂鬱的剖析》是如雷貫耳的世界名著。由於伯頓本人曾飽受憂鬱症（或稱「躁狂抑鬱症」）之苦，所以他開始收集、整理資料，藉以分析、研究及診斷此症。其實此書是一本相當特殊的文學作品，又以哲學和科學居多，內容之廣泛無與倫比。書的全名是《憂鬱的剖析：憂鬱的所有種類、原因、徵候、癒後症狀、個別治療方法⋯⋯》。 本書譯者採用企鵝版的《Some Anatomies of Melancholy》，並參照Floyd Dell 和Paul Jordan-Smith所編的無拉丁文版譯出。此書的全文在十八世紀風靡全球，一直持續到十九世紀，尤受浪漫主義者歡迎，到了二十世紀和二十一世紀則受到學術界所重視，有心的讀者幸無錯過。

【故事簡介】 《化身博士》可能是史帝文生最有名的代表作，而「傑寇與海德」（Jekyll and Hyde）一語則成為英語中一個十分常見的用法（比如說「他同時兼具傑寇與海德的人格」），並且廣為人知，即使沒讀過本書的人也知之甚詳。 本書的主題講的是人性當中的「人格分裂」，或說是「雙重性格」。其核心概念認為，我們每一個人都會同時呈現善與惡兩種面貌，並探討如果這些部分在人體化學構造上到最後分成兩種單獨的人格的話，那究竟會發生什麼樣的事。這個主題對史帝文生來說特別親切，他以此創作了一齣劇本和一則短篇故事。 這篇故事也談到了名譽的重要性，原本備受尊敬的傑寇博士之所以開始變身為邪惡的海德先生，就是因為他害怕自己的行為失當，想挽回自己的聲譽。至於他的朋友亞特森、藍彥和安費等，也會不計一切代價的避免流言蜚語上身。維多利亞時代中對儀表和外觀的重視，也反應出名譽的重要性，而表象又是如何頻頻掩蓋了齷齪和暴力的事實。 這篇故事的架構亦饒富趣味，除了由作者所訴說的敘述外，還有兩則由主人翁針對同樣事件所撰寫的描述。對於同一事件我們算是讀了三次，但各有觀點。這篇故事曾被譯為多種語言，而且也給無數電影、音樂劇、戲劇、故事、卡通影片和電玩遊戲等，帶來不少靈感。 ＊＊＊＊＊ When respectable Dr Jekyll starts associating with the mysterious Mr Hyde, his friends become increasingly worried. Who is Hyde and why do all the people he meets dislike him? Stevenson’s classic tale of the human capacity for evil is retold with all the tension and gothic drama of the original. 【Helbling文學讀本（Helbling Readers）簡介】 ● Helbling Classics（經典英文文學改寫） ● Helbling Fiction（當代原創英文小說） 《Helbling文學讀本》為一套最優質的英文分級閱讀讀本，英語難易度由初級銜接到中級。在各項英語認證考試中，本系列書培養的英語能力級數如下： GEPT英檢 TOE
