來自反烏托邦的報導，充滿哀愁又引人入勝獲獎無數的歷史學家寫下未忘之地的歷史◎ 《大西洋雜誌》（The Atlantic）2016年最佳圖書「衛兵打開行李箱，往裡頭瞧了瞧，關上行李箱，檢查我們的傳真許可文件，然後揮揮手，讓我們進入車諾比隔離區。我關心車諾比隔離區近十年，卻到了這個時候才得以進入一窺究竟。我想起安德烈．塔可夫斯基（Andrei Tarkovsky）1979年的電影《潛行者》（Stalker）禁區（the Zone）裡的荒涼景象。在塔可夫斯基的電影及我的想像裡，禁區四處可見生鏽的工廠廠房、倒塌的電話線與被陰暗森林占據的建築物。除了人煙稀少、設下重重障礙與衛兵把守，禁區還散發著一股神祕而致命的力量，威脅要殺害暴露者的子孫，或讓他們出現突變。在塔可夫斯基的電影裡，潛行者為了賺取一小筆錢，祕密帶領冒險者進入禁區，想揭露其中的謎團。他們在夜色與濃霧的掩護下潛入，在傾頹的工業廢墟間躲避子彈。」 凱特．布朗是一位極富想像力的歷史學家，也是作家與旅行家。她認為，「歷史學家能親自走一趟自己研究的地方，真正體會自己論文的主題，一定能寫出更好的歷史作品。」在《惡托邦記》裡，她進行一場令人驚訝且不尋常的田野之旅，前往遭忽視或抹滅的邊緣地帶，探究這些地方的歷史。 她漫遊車諾比隔離區，先是在網路上，之後親自前往。她想知道現實與虛擬何者才是真正的偽造。她來到西雅圖一家飯店的地下室，檢視1942年日裔美國人被送往監禁營途中存放在地下室的個人物品。在烏克蘭的烏曼，她躲在樹上，觀看只有哈西迪猶太男性才能參加的猶太新年慶典。在俄羅斯烏拉山脈南部，她與克什特姆小鎮居民談話，當地不可見的輻射汙染物正神秘地讓生活陷入困境。最後，她回到出生地，中西部工業鐵鏽帶的伊利諾州埃爾金，考察懷「鏽」情緒的興起與自身的成長經驗，如何開啟她對現代主義荒原的探索。 布朗在本書開頭寫道：「在前往故事發生地旅行的二十年間，我遊遍部分東歐、中亞與美國西部。不知不覺地，我竟成為一名專業的災難觀光客。在撰寫歷史的過程中，我歷經一連串現代主義的荒原，一個比一個惡名遠播，一個比一個孤寂淒涼。」多年來她造訪的地方都不是旅遊勝地，而是所謂的「惡托邦」（dystopia），即被遺忘了的，甚至刻意被遺忘的厭惡之地。 《惡托邦記》帶領讀者來到這些非典型的現場，有力而動人地描述被消音、破壞或汙染的地方歷史。在講述這些過去無人知曉的

本書特色Analyzing authors by analyzing the words they use;Revealing the person behind the pages by revealing the condition of language.序【Acknowledgements】 I want to thank Mr. Michael Song, the President of Showwe Publisher (Taipei, Taiwan), for his encouragement and his thoughtfulness. My thanks also go to Irene Cheng and Lestat Yin for making this book possible.【Preface】 The initial idea of writing such a book on the condition of language comes from a question, which was asked by Jean-Paul Sartre in his book, What is Literature? In fact, Sartre truly wanted to ask himself and the readers, this essential question - 'What is Writing'? In Sartre's Words, again, he mentioned the way in which Charles Schweitzer was 'amazed' (Sartre 89) by the French language. In some ways, Schweitzer did not consider himself 'as a writer' - he 'played' with the language, and yet, 'had not quite made it his own' (Sartre 89). Sartre's words indicate that to write in a specific language - as a writer - firstl

《星光兄弟會 -歐洲冒險之旅》(原文：Brother of the Third Degree)是一本出版於1894年，主角們追尋永恆貞潔之愛的玄幻冒險小說。它的時代設定在20世紀初期。本書男主角-阿方索•柯羅諾是位墨西哥人。他的父母是白色兄弟會的成員。他後來搬到巴黎並且透過儀式加入這個神秘社團。 他在這個團體裡面遇見自己的靈魂伴侶-艾歐麗。他們遇見了聖哲曼和其他的大師， 在幕後幫助20世紀的歐洲解決紛亂危機 ，最終脫胎換骨，超凡入聖。讀者們可以從書中發現現代人對於白色兄弟會的各種看法早在1890年代就已經成形-四處漂泊而且長生不老的大師、角色們利用神秘力量推動政治變革以及擁有各種奇特力量的神通人士。這些概念後來變成了"我是"運動以及其他新時代團體的信條。嘉佛精準預測20世紀的歐洲會在經歷過一段戰亂之後和平統一。儘管書中有些誇張的情節，它依舊是一本容易閱讀的好書。許多19世紀出版的玄幻小說在可讀性方面都不及本書的一半。本書的流暢劇情和令人印象深刻的角色，堪稱是《達文西密碼》的古老前輩。

Lemony Snicket meets Roald Dahl in this "wickedly funny" (James Ponti, New York Times bestselling author), deliciously macabre, and highly illustrated tale of a hungry beast, a vain immortal man, and a not-so-charming little girl who doesn't know she's about to be eaten. Beauty comes at a price. And no one knows that better than Ebenezer Tweezer, who has stayed beautiful for 511 years. How, you may wonder? Ebenezer simply has to feed the beast in the attic of his mansion. In return for meals of performing monkeys, statues of Winston Churchill, and the occasional cactus, Ebenezer gets potions that keep him young and beautiful, as well as other presents. But the beast grows ever greedier with each meal, and one day he announces that he'd like to eat a nice, juicy child next. Ebenezer has never done anything quite this terrible to hold onto his wonderful life. Still, he finds the absolutely snottiest, naughtiest, and most frankly unpleasant child he can and prepares to feed her to the bea

吳明益專文推薦。寫詩、也寫散文的作家阿布；在精神科診療病人，並返看自我的醫者阿布。內容簡介：吳明益推薦：「一個能思考死亡，而不只是對抗死亡的醫師，也有可能接近哲學家與詩人的。」我們永遠無法親身經歷另一個人的苦痛，只能試著接近。［這世界像極了一艘巨大的「瘋人船」，在正常與瘋狂之間，飄蕩。］有時我會錯亂，究竟病房裡面是精神疾患的世界，還是現實社會反而是妄想與幻覺的樂園？精神科病房永遠大門深鎖。似乎在這裡時間有不同的流向。或許鐵門的存在不是防止他們外出擾亂這個世界，而是讓這個粗暴的世界不至於輕易地傷害到他們。／你有一指幅的自由，但當你抵抗，拘束只會愈來愈緊。面對約束帶最好的方式是全身放鬆。／用肉體的傷驅除心裡的痛，好像生活到了最低最底，只剩下自己的痛自己的血，是整個失控的生命裡，唯一能掌握的東西。精神科醫師似路又似橋，承接著眾多「卡住」的微渺心靈，無法代其受苦，但願盡己所有地貼近。傾力收小自己，將他人的地獄融成了自己，清晰聽見病徵在泣訴，這是身為醫者對患者的虔誠敬意，也是一名寫作者之於苦痛經驗的溫柔自省。還是住院醫師時，曾聽學姊說：「精神科的訓練能給你一次機會，讓自己成為更好的人。」成為主治大夫的自己，如今有變得更好嗎？光探入了裂隙，答案就在那裡。本書特色：◎吳明益推薦：「萬物都有裂縫，那是光照進來的契機。（There is a crack in everything.That's how the light gets in.）這是加拿大歌手柯恩（Leonard Cohen）的歌詞，當然，對我來說也是詩。阿布以此為標題，寫了從受苦者、醫學知識、醫師不同角度所觀看的精神問題。阿布的文字不再像過去一樣單純地熱情，而多了節制以及博雜的援引。那些援引讓身為讀者的我，有時迷惘，有時若有啟發，有時則純然地沉浸在他的敘事和那些病徵發生的可能原因裡。」（──節錄自推薦序〈作為凡人，聆聽凡人〉）◎「有時候覺得好像有兩個我，鏡像似的。一個是醫學中心裡的醫師，一個是穴居的寫作者。」──寫詩、也寫散文的作家阿布；在精神科診療病人，並返看自我的醫者阿布……萬物皆有裂縫，他細細探入，那光照進的地方。◎我們永遠無法親身經歷另一個人的苦痛，只能試著接近。學習將自己的腳縮小、變形，塞進那雙自己不曾穿過、但另一個人必須天天面對的破鞋，學習同理他鞋子裡的小石頭與腳臭。這裡不是最後一站，多數人只是在此換車，休息
