★歐巴馬2025年夏季選書★時間、空間、記憶交錯，穿越世紀的思想小說★家族秘密與移民流亡，情感糾葛動人心弦★與哲人、詩人跨時空對話，探討存在、救贖與責任一場跨越時代與文化的生命對話，見證人類在動盪中執著尋覓「家」與意義的感動故事。Lina與父親流離遷徙，來到謎一般的避居地「The Sea」，只攜帶寥寥幾件物品。這座充滿幻想的時空建築，往來的鄰居橫跨東西、古今：有17世紀的猶太學者、有二戰流亡的德國哲學家、還有唐朝詩人。他們透過記憶與對話，引領Lina思索人類如何面對災難，探究罪疚、責任與救贖；在父親揭露家族悲劇過往時，Lina也重新定義自我與世界。在多重時空交錯的冒險故事中，Thien描繪人類何以在流離失所、政治變革與命運洪流中，堅持尋找家園、創造自我；小說以絕美文字展現藝術與思想的力量，深入探討每一個人都是歷史中獨一無二的容器。Lina and her father arrive at an enclave called The Sea, a staging post between migrations, with only a few possessions. In this mysterious and shape-shifting place, a building made of time, pasts and futures collide. Lina befriends her neighbors: Bento, a Jewish scholar in seventeenth-century Amsterdam; Blucher, a philosopher in 1930s Germany fleeing Nazi persecution; and Jupiter, a poet of Tang Dynasty China.Memory, political revolution, generational change, and the ethical imagination are at the heart of Lina's illuminating conversations with her fellows in the Sea: how we come to believe what we believe, and how every

Winner of the National Book AwardWinner of the California Book AwardWinner of Tournament of BooksOut in the desert in a place called the Palace, a young man tends to a dying soul, someone he once knew briefly but who has haunted the edges of his life: Juan Gay. Playful raconteur, child lost and found and lost, guardian of the institutionalized, Juan has a project to pass along, one built around a true artifact of a book―Sex Variants: A Study of Homosexual Patterns―and its devastating history. This book contains accounts collected in the early twentieth century from queer subjects by a queer researcher, Jan Gay, whose groundbreaking work was then co-opted by a committee, her name buried. The voices of these subjects have been filtered, muted, but it is possible to hear them from within and beyond the text, which, in Juan’s tattered volumes, has been redacted with black marker on nearly every page. As Juan waits for his end, he and the narrator recount for each other moments of joy and o

*SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER*'There to fill the Sapiens-size hole in your life' ObserverIn this groundbreaking global overview of philosophy, Julian Baggini travels the world to provide a wide-ranging map of human thought.One of the great unexplained wonders of human history is that written philosophy flowered entirely separately in China, India and Ancient Greece at more or less the same time. These early philosophies have had a profound impact on the development of distinctive cultures in different parts of the world. What we call 'philosophy' in the West is not even half the story.Julian Baggini sets out to expand our horizons in How the World Thinks, exploring the philosophies of Japan, India, China and the Muslim world, as well as the lesser-known oral traditions of Africa and Australia's first peoples. Interviewing thinkers from around the globe, Baggini asks questions such as: why is the West is more individualistic than the East? What makes secularism a less powerful force in the I
