十歲的 Mayowa 一直覺得爺爺 Edward 很奇怪。他會把鬍子染成翡翠綠，還會偷偷在房間裡跳上書本。直到某一天，Mayowa 也忍不住跳上一本書，才發現這不是胡鬧，而是家族世代相傳的祕密魔法。Mayowa 可以「書本跳躍」。只要跳上一本書，她就能汲取故事中的情緒，再將那些感受注入現實中的人心。一本書裡的勇氣、悲傷、希望與憤怒，都可能成為推動世界改變的力量。當 Mayowa 得知自己的能力也許能拯救許多難民的生命，她決定不再旁觀，而是要真正踏進這場冒險。然而，書本跳躍者不只她和爺爺。有人想用這份力量帶來理解與希望，也有人想把它變成操控人心的工具。Mayowa 必須學會分辨善意與危險，更要明白：故事的力量，從來不只存在於書頁之中。推薦給喜歡《Skandar and the Unicorn Thief》、《Impossible Creatures》與魔法冒險故事的讀者。‘Joyful and truly original’ – Katherine Rundell, author of Impossible CreaturesWARNING: DO NOT JUMP ON THIS BOOK!Have you ever jumped on a book?

The crisis of masculinity surfaced and converged with the crisis of the nation in the late Qing, after the doors of China were forced open by Opium Wars. The power of physical aggression increasingly overshadowed literary attainments and became a new imperative of male honor in the late Qing and early Republican China. Afflicted with anxiety and indignation about their increasingly effeminate image as perceived by Western colonial powers, Chinese intellectuals strategically distanced themselves from the old literati and reassessed their positions vis-à-vis violence. In Mastery of Words and Swords: Negotiating Intellectual Masculinities in Modern China, 1890s–1930s, Jun Lei explores the formation and evolution of modern Chinese intellectual masculinities as constituted in racial, gender, and class discourses mediated by the West and Japan. This book brings to light a new area of interest in the “Man Question” within gender studies in which women have typically been the focus. To fully r
