「城市的燈光越來越疏落，當下的街道也比較黑暗；而由於比較黑暗，它就更像一條無止盡的隧道。他看不見外面任何東西來確定道路有多寬；黑暗從計程車的車窗開始，往外無盡延伸。黑夜是一個固體，他們在挖掘一條通道，不顧一切。」被重新發掘的經典、美國國家圖書獎得主約翰.威廉斯（John Williams, 1922-1994）四部小說作品，繁體中文版歷時十年，完整出版。作者一百零一歲誕辰，限量燙金書盒典藏版推出。本典藏套組包含約翰.威廉斯生涯四本小說：＿1948年出版《只有黑夜》Nothing But the Night＿1960年出版《屠夫渡口》Butcher's Crossing＿1965年出版《史托納》Stoner＿1972年出版《奧古斯都》Augustus約翰.威廉斯的四部小說故事截然不同，1948年出版、作者在二次大戰服役於空軍時完成的第一本小說《只有黑夜》講述一名神經敏感且對生命感到虛無的年輕男子的一天；1960年出版的《屠夫渡口》敘述一個來自波士頓的年輕人，被愛默生的超驗主義搞糊塗後到美國西部荒野找尋生命意義；1965年出版的《史托納》勾勒一位密蘇里大學英文系教授寂寂無名、表面看起來不甚成功的一生；1972年出版的《奧古斯都》以羅馬第一位皇帝豐富多采的一生以及其改寫歷史的功業為主題。四部小說雖然故事背景迴異，同時也圍繞著一個核心主題，不管是哪個角色，其一生往往是他與外在世界的摩擦下所產生的無法預期的產物。那個外在世界可以是大自然，可以是文明社會，是科羅拉多州的荒野，是州立大學裡狹窄的教學大樓，是亞力山卓金碧輝煌的宮廷。在威廉斯的小說中，「個人的力量」和「命運的偶然」的摩擦，往往是一種侵蝕：其過程可以令我們自覺的形象變得模糊，成為一個陌生人。《奧古斯都》首度出版的次年獲得美國國家圖書獎的小說獎，是他四部作品中唯一在他有生之年獲得公開讚揚的一部，而即便《奧古斯都》獲獎，威廉斯的作品仍未受到普遍廣大的注目、逐漸絕版，直到二十一世紀初，《史托納》法文版由法國國民作家安娜.戈華達翻譯出版、在英國獲作家伊恩.麥克尤恩盛讚、演員暨作家湯姆.漢克斯在美國時代雜誌封面大力推薦後，重新颳起炫風、在世界各地出版、再版，真正成為了暢銷經典。啟明出版於 2012 年開始委託台大外文系馬耀民教授翻譯，2014 年首次推出《史托納》即大獲好評，不僅獲選各通路年度選書，馬耀民教授的翻譯也讓讀者津津樂

《風味聖經（出版12週年修訂版）》啟發無數大廚、調酒師靈感的殿堂經典「今天要煮什麼？」是一道困擾著眾人的問題。有時，任你上網不斷搜索，就是難以找到合意的菜式。這時你需要的，不是步驟式的食譜，而是風味的組合。80年代，大廚在食材外觀玩起花樣。90年代，前衛料理與分子廚藝現身。現在，大廚開始學習食物的語言，不再以食譜記錄經典菜餚，而改以風味為字彙，創意為文法，組合出美味又令人驚豔的料理。研讀本書中數百種食材的語言及語法，讓你能用風味跟食物溝通，並一窺全美最具創意主廚的智慧結晶以及無懈可擊的判斷力。《風味聖經》的出版，前後共花了八年時間。出版的時間，正好見證全球廚藝領域達到一個新的轉捩點：廚師，無論是專業或業餘，都意識到食譜對廚藝的限制。他們不再滿足於既有的風味組合，而試著創造出自己的料理。另一項歷史性的轉變是：食材無國界，料理也不再用地域來界定，而是以「風味」來定義。當我們解析料理文化，會發現其根源正是風味組合：只要把某些食材放在一起，便能搭配出特定的文化風味。料理經歷這般革新，廚師帶著新的理解來運用食材，烹飪的天地因而變得更開闊；對食客來說，新的知識也帶來新的口腹之樂，我們學會更多「語彙」去理解口中感受到的風味。也因此我們需要新類型的「烹飪書」，不再以食譜來記載經典菜餚，而是藉由大廚的創造力，激發出各種和諧的風味組合。《風味聖經》是一本導遊書，以數十位美國最富創意大廚的多年經驗，帶你認識無數種食材、香料植物及調味料，以及這些食材的組合，不但是大廚開發新菜單、私房菜的武器，也是一般人採買食材、閱讀菜單上陌生菜式時的專業指引。本書帶你：● 一一探索鹹、酸、苦、甜四種主要味道，以及調和這些味道的方法。● 認識哪些風味是相近的，依據直覺發揮不同食材的特色。● 運用特定食材和技巧製造出層次感，讓風味變得更深厚或更清爽。● 認識600種以上的食材條目，細數各個受到推薦、經常受到推薦以及高度推薦的食材撘配，讓你更有信心開發屬於自己的菜式和味道。● 優遊於全美大廚的烹飪祕訣、思維以及私房菜。大廚私房菜配方逐一公開，挑戰你沒想像過的組合風味：煙燻培根與雞蛋冰淇淋，配法式吐司與紅茶凍――Heston Blumenthal，The Fat Duck餐廳，英格蘭烤當地野生條紋鱸魚，配上哈伯德小南瓜、焦糖蘋果和野生菇類――David Pasternak，Esca餐廳，紐約市烤鴨胸、青江白菜和木

這是一本極為實用的演員工作手冊，涵蓋的範圍很廣。從演員的基本技巧訓練、如何準備上場、與導演和其他演員的相處之道，以及道具和裝飾如何運用等等，都在本書討論之列。在引言中，知名劇作家大衞．馬梅指出演員必須排除有關「天分」的迷思。一個致力於表演藝術的好演員不需要天分，只要憑藉著勇氣、堅強的意志力和常理認知，他或她一定會擁有自己的一片天。「簡單，明瞭，精簡，完全符合人們的需要。這是一本趣味盎然又寶貴的好作品。」～導演薛尼．盧梅（Sidney Lumet)「這本簡單明瞭的手冊對演員的重要性不亞於斯特倫克 （Strunk）和懷特 （E. B. White ）所著《英文寫作指南》（The Elements of Style) 對於作家的重要性。～作家約翰．古雷(John Guare)這是一本極其精采的好書，清楚、直接了當、切中要點，完全沒有大多數舞台相關書籍中的廢話，尤其是在表演這一塊。我增長了不少知識。～導演羅伯．班頓 (Robert Benton)這本精采好書對我所知的最深奧難懂的表演技巧提供了清楚的指南。每一位年輕的演員都應該一讀再讀，並且將它一直放在枕頭底下。～演員林賽．克洛斯（Lindsay Crouse)《演員筆記：表演工作者的實務手冊》是一本解析表演藝術的書，簡單明瞭但不可或缺。作者是一群年輕的演員。他們在與普立茲獎得主劇作家大衞．馬梅（David Mamet)、演員威廉．霍爾．梅西(W. H. Macy)及導演喬治．穆舍 (Gregory Mosher)一起工作時，發展出一種精練的表演技巧。這本書是為所有上過表演課程卻感覺挫敗的學生而寫，因為這些課程既籠統含糊又毫不客觀，無法提供一套值得信賴的工具。作者群指出，演員的職責是「找到一種方法，在戲劇的想像情境內真實地活著。」這本精采絶倫的書之基本內容乃是由演員獲取這種真實面的種種方法架構而成。

Explore bridges around the world--and how they unite us--in this gorgeously illustrated nonfiction picture book Bridges can be high or low, long or short, straight or curvy. Some are designed to blend in, while others stand out. But each one tells a story: a reminder of our history, a testament to ingenuity and engineering, an invitation to imagine the possibilities of the future. Literally and symbolically, bridges connect us--to new places, new cultures, and new people. With poetic text and sweeping illustrations, Marc Majewski delivers a unique, accessible look at bridges all around the world: from San Francisco's incredible Golden Gate to the Victoria Falls Bridge connecting Zambia and Zimbabwe to England's Tower Bridge and Japan's Akashi-Kaikyo Bridge and many in between. Both informational and thought-provoking, Bridges shows how these awe-inspiring structures unite the manmade and natural worlds, and how they bring humanity together.

An oak tree and a crow help their neighbors embrace their differences in this beautiful, nuanced, New York Times-bestselling middle-grade novel from Newbery Medalist author Katherine Applegate.Trees can't tell jokes, but they can certainly tell stories. . . . Red is an oak tree who is many rings old. Red is the neighborhood wishtree--people write their wishes on pieces of cloth and tie them to Red's branches. Along with a crow named Bongo and other animals who seek refuge in Red's hollows, this wishtree watches over the neighborhood. You might say Red has seen it all. Until a new family moves in. Not everyone is welcoming, and Red's experience as a wishtree is more important than ever.

如果有一天，你賴以維生的技能突然消失得無影無蹤；如果有一天，你的身體背叛了你，讓你再也無法找回過去的自己，你會選擇放棄，或是盡己所能的戰勝命運？一段關於前MLB天才投手與運動失憶症奮鬥一生的回憶與紀錄安基爾本有躋身史上最優秀投手之林的天賦，但有一天，那天賦忽然消失了。曾經的紅雀大物新秀瑞克・安基爾，原本是位預期能夠在MLB場上拿出宰制級成績的天才，卻在2000年的那一天，他大聯盟生涯的第一場季後賽，忽然失去了他賴以維生的非凡投球天賦。他的天賦之所以忽然消失，並非因為受傷，也不是任誰也料不到的意外事故，而是因為一個被稱作「投球失憶症」（the Yips）的神秘焦慮症狀。投球失憶症無預警地在一場眾目睽睽、數百萬人收看的季後賽中找上安基爾，並就此糾纏他直到現在。對安基爾來說，投球失憶症帶給他最大的考驗，並非在投手丘上，而是那些他在比賽之外、想方設法重返大聯盟的無數個白天和漫漫長夜。有長達四年半的時間，安基爾想盡各種辦法對抗投球失憶症：接受心理治療、服用藥物、做深呼吸、從事運動、閱讀自我成長的書籍，甚至喝伏特加。在那之後，安基爾在25歲那年做出不可思議的人生大翻轉：以打者的身份重返大聯盟，並累積七個成功的賽季。透過本書，安基爾毫無保留的揭露出他所經歷的一切痛苦與過程，包括他不堪的過往以及掙扎求存的每個瞬間，更讓我們能看見壓力對人造成的影響，以及被逼到崩潰邊緣的人如何做出人生下一步的決定。

Three delightful tales from a renowned Nigerian storyteller introduce a chapter-book heroine who is every bit as mighty as she is small. In a trio of droll stories, award-winning author and storyteller Atinuke debuts an endearing and enduring character with plenty to prove. Tola lives in an apartment in the busy city of Lagos, Nigeria, with her sister, Moji, who is very clever; her brother, Dapo, who is very fast; and Grandmommy, who is very bossy. Tola may be small, but she's strong enough to carry a basket brimming with groceries home from the market, and she's clever enough to count out Grandmommy's change. When the faucets in the apartment break, it's Tola who brings water from the well. And when Mr. Abdul, the tailor, has an accident and needs help taking his customers' measurements, only Tola can save the day. Atinuke's trademark wit and charm are on full display, accompanied by delightful illustrations by Onyinye Iwu. Too Small Tola evokes the urban bustle and rich blending of c
