The epic conclusion to the intensely romantic and beautifully written story that started in Divine Rivals. Two weeks have passed since Iris Winnow returned home bruised and heartbroken from the front, but the war is far from over. Roman is missing, and the city of Oath continues to dwell in a state of disbelief and ignorance. When Iris and Attie are given another chance to report on Dacre's movements, they both take the opportunity and head westward once more despite the danger, knowing it's only a matter of time before the conflict reaches a city that's unprepared and fracturing beneath the chancellor's reign.

But given the reassurance that his memories will return in time, Roman begins to write articles for Dacre, uncertain of his place in the greater scheme of the war. When a strange letter arrives by wardrobe door, Roman is first suspicious, then intrigued. As he strikes up a correspondence with his mysterious pen

教訓要記取仇恨要遺忘我的（寫作）目的是要了解整個事件，並希望世人從中學習教訓，記取沉痛的殷鑑。但是，不同的殘暴程度，通常就會引起不同的反應；因此我一定要提出一些數字，讓讀者對1937年發生在南京的大屠殺規模，有些許概念。一位歷史學家曾經估算，如果讓所有南京大屠殺的死難者手牽手，長度可以從南京到達杭州，綿延約兩百英里長。他們身上的血液共重達一千兩百噸，屍體可裝滿兩千五百節火車車廂。如果把這些屍體疊起來，高度相當於七十四層樓。――張純如這是一段讓人不忍回顧，卻必須面對的過去。1937年12月13日，南京落入日軍手中。一場泯滅人性的大屠殺隨即展開。成千上萬的年輕男子被集合起來驅趕至市郊，不是遭機關槍掃射，就是被日軍當作練習刺刀用的肉靶，甚或被潑了滿身的汽油活活燒死。無數的婦女慘遭日軍強暴與凌虐，就連孕婦也不放過。在幾個星期的時間裡，南京城內屍橫遍野，宛如煉獄。本書從三個不同角度――日本人、中國受難者與當時在場的歐美人士的敘事觀點，全方位呈現整個大屠殺事件；另一方面，抽絲剝繭地檢視這段長達多年的黑暗勢力，探討日本政府如何處心積慮地抹煞世界對大屠殺的記憶。作者蒐集海峽兩岸、歐美、日本許多第一手資料，並且整合大屠殺倖存者的訪談記錄，重新呈現南京大屠殺的完整面貌。透過流利、細緻的文字，讀者可以完整了解南京大屠殺歷史的始末，同時省思歷史事件留予世人的寶貴教訓。各界好評一部從歷史真相中批判道德淪喪的有力新作。張純如在書中謹慎考證了這場浩劫的真實規模與細節。――《芝加哥論壇報》（Chicago Tribune）經過精心的研究考證……故事扣人心弦，牢牢抓住讀者的目光，從頭到尾令人欲罷不能。――鄭念，《上海生與死》（Life and Death in Shanghai）作者張純如深入研究南京大屠殺，為二戰暴行增添並擴展出全新的敘述。這本書非常出色，其所講述的故事值得被世人聆聽。――白彬菊（Beatrice S. Bartlett），耶魯大學歷史系教授令人心碎……一本非常扣人心弦的著作。這本書關於暴行的描述，不僅點出日本帝國軍國主義的根本問題，更呈現了施虐者、強暴者、殺人者的心理問題。――魏斐德（Frederic Wakeman），加州大學柏克萊分校東亞研究所（Institute of East Asian Studies）所長今日的美國，有人做出了正義而美好的事情，她揭發了塵封已久的醜陋惡

A brief stay in France was, for many Chinese workers and Chinese Communist Party leaders, a vital stepping stone for their careers during the cultural and political push to modernize China after World War I. For the Chinese students who went abroad specifically to study Western art and literature, these trips meant something else entirely. Set against the backdrop of interwar Paris, Paris and the Art of Transposition uncovers previously marginalized archives to reveal the artistic strategies employed by Chinese artists and writers in the early twentieth-century transnational imaginary and to explain why Paris played such a central role in the global reception of modern Chinese literature and art.While previous studies of Chinese modernism have focused on how Western modernist aesthetics were adapted or translated to the Chinese context, Angie Chau does the opposite by turning to Paris in the Chinese imaginary and discussing the literary and visual artwork of five artists who moved betw

「科學」證據都可信嗎？為什麼沒有實證基礎的垃圾科學能夠進入法院，參與半數以上的冤案？咬痕、毛髮顯微鏡比對、纖維比對、工具痕跡、縱火調查、測謊、鞋印、血跡噴濺……審判中讓人堅信不移的「科學」證據，可能終結犯罪，卻也可能摧毀無辜者一生 從《CSI犯罪現場》、《法醫檔案》到享譽全球的FBI犯罪實驗室，司法鑑識專家在大眾文化裡一直被神話成犯罪終結者。但是從過去到現在，很多科學鑑識的方法，後來都證明是垃圾科學。這些錯誤的科學誤導陪審團，讓無辜者被判有罪，有些甚至是死刑案件。 美國的司法科學是一個不受監管的行業。站在使用「科學」證據和陪審團之間的，就只有法官。法官往往是根據判決先例而不是科學在做決定的。法律人評價證據時習慣沿用前例，導致他們欠缺能力檢驗科學證據，以及科學證據本身缺乏精進的動力，結果就是諸多可信度存疑的科學證據在法庭中不斷被使用。本書目的是希望一改以為司法科學萬無一失的錯誤描述。透過因垃圾科學而被判有罪的多起冤案故事，記錄他們對抗錯誤定罪的法庭交戰，帶領讀者深入了解千瘡百孔的司法制度核心與其對垃圾科學的回應、美國國家科學院對各種鑑識科學的檢驗，以及DNA鑑定對冤錯案件帶來的革命性影響。各界好評☆內容饒富興味、深入探究且令人信服，對法庭上不可靠的專家證詞敲響了駭人的警鐘。 ――New York Journal of Books☆讓人們更廣泛審視刑事司法制度中一個令人深感不安的面向，已經有許多人認為刑事司法制度中存在種族主義和偏見……作者揭露的這個普遍存在的不公平現象，甚至有可能對支持強勢法律與秩序的人造成動搖。――Publishers Weekly, Starred review☆讀者們，尤其是喜歡刑偵劇和其中萬無一失的犯罪實驗室的讀者，會對書中一長串司法科學技術清單感到震驚（這些技術被包括聯邦調查局在內的許多實驗室長期使用，高薪的「專家證人」也都表示贊同），經優秀的研究人員調查後，發現它們的結果都是不可靠或毫無價值的……這是法庭上對垃圾科學的精彩反駁。――Kirkus Reviews, Starred review☆引人入勝……嚴肅證明了我們在科學和法律方面都應保持謙遜，並承認我們的知識有限，且容易犯錯。正義問題太重要了，絕不容靠耍花招解決。――Washington Examiner☆直到上週我都還不假思索地相信測謊，直到我讀了這本
