Jonathan Clements 以細膩敘事與宏觀視野，重新講述這座「叛逆之島」的歷史。從原住民族群的遷徙與信仰、外來政權的殖民與統治，到戰後政權更替與民主轉型，本書讓讀者理解台灣何以成為東亞政治的關鍵所在。作者兼具史學與故事感，使繁複的歷史化為流動的人物與場景，貼近島嶼真實的呼吸。The gripping story of Taiwan, from the flood myths of ancient legend to its ‘Asian Tiger’ economic miracle — and the looming threat of invasion by China. Once dismissed by the Kangxi Emperor as nothing but a ‘ball of mud’, Taiwan has a modern GDP larger than that of Sweden, in a land area smaller than Indiana. It is the last surviving enclave of the Republic of China, a lost colony of Japan, and claimed by Beijing as a rogue province — merely the latest chapters in its long history as a refuge for pirates, rebels, settlers, and outcasts.In Rebel Island, Jonathan Clements offers a concise and vivid telling of Taiwan’s complex island story, beginning with the unique conditions of its archaeology before examining its indigenous history and its days as a Dutch and Spanish trading post. He delves into its periods as an independent kingdom, Chinese pr

The much-awaited follow-up to the award-winning international bestseller Aue. In Aue, eight-year-old Arama was taken by his brother, Taukiri, to live with Kat and Stu at the farm in Kaikoura, setting in motion the ensuing tragedy, which resulted in Stu’s death. Aunty Kat was at the centre of events, but, silenced by abuse, her voice was absent from the story.In Kataraina, Kat and her whanau take over the telling. As one, the family recounts her childhood and the time when she first began to feel the greenness of the swamp in her veins — the swamp that holds her tears and the tears of generations of tipuna; the swamp on the land owned by Stu that has been growing since the day the girl shot the man. Unflinching in its portrayal of intergenerational trauma and violence, tender in its harnessing of the hope that future generations represent, Kataraina is a stunning novel that confirms Becky Manawatu as one of the most talented and powerful writers working in Aotearoa New Zealand today.
