《Confessio Amantis（戀人的告白）》是十四世紀英國詩人 John Gower 的代表作之一，也是中世紀英語文學的重要經典。本書為三卷本學術版的第一卷，收錄〈序言〉以及第一與第八書，實際上構成全詩的道德與結構核心。作品以一名戀人向愛神維納斯的神父 Genius 懺悔為敘事框架，透過寓言式對話，探討愛情、道德、權力與社會秩序之間的關係。詩中大量引入古典神話、聖經故事與歷史寓例，討論傲慢、虛偽、放縱、婚姻與君權等議題，既反映中世紀晚期的倫理觀，也回應當時英格蘭的政治與社會現實。本版完整收錄中英雙語文本，保留拉丁段落並附現代英語翻譯，並提供詳盡註解、詞彙說明與研究書目，方便研讀與教學。本書適合中世紀文學、英語史、思想史與文化研究領域的學生與研究者，是深入理解 Gower 詩學與中世紀道德想像的重要基礎讀本。English poet Gower (1325-1408) released his fictional confession, rooted in old texts, in 1390-92. This edition presents it in three volumes, this first devoted to the frame: the Prologue, Book One and Book Eight. Extensive marginal glosses and explanatory endnotes are included. The format has been changed for the second edition to make it easier for readers to find their way around. The second volume covers Books 2-4, and the third Books 5-7.

Sometimes life just doesn’t seem fair. Have you ever had a day when . . . your favorite pants shrunk in the wash? your best friend was being a beast? you were too short to go on the best ride?

Dear Friends, In most fish families, after the mother has laid the eggs and the father has fertilized them, the eggs are left on their own. But there are exceptions, such as the seahorse, stickleback, tilapia, Kurtus nurseryfish, pipefish, bullhead catfish and some others. Not only are the eggs cared for by a parent but – surprise – that parent is the father. This may sound strange but it is the truth. And this is my story about them. I hope you enjoy my story.

Forget everything you've read about the age of dumbed-down, instant-gratification culture. In this provocative, intelligent, and convincing endorsement of today's mass entertainment, national bestselling author Steven Johnson argues that the pop culture we soak in every day-from The Lord of the Rings to Grand Theft Auto to The Simpsons-has been growing more and more sophisticated and, far from rotting our brains, is actually posing new cognitive challenges that are making our minds measurably sharper. You will never regard the glow of the video game or television screen the same way again.

An abandoned Southwark warehouse burns next door to a women's shelter for victims of spousal abuse. Within it lies the charred corpse of a female body burned beyond all recognition. At the same time, workers at Guy's Hospital anxiously discuss the disappearance of a hospital administrator -- a beautiful, emotionally fragile young woman who's vanished without a trace. And in an old, dark, rambling London house, nine-year-oldHarriet's awful fears won't be silenced -- as she worries about her feuding parents, her schoolwork . . . and the strange woman who is her only companion in this scary, unfamiliar place. Gemma James and Duncan Kincaid -- lovers and former partners -- have their own pressing concerns. But they must put aside private matters to investigate these disturbing cases. Yet neither Gemma nor Duncan realize how closely the cases are connected -- or how important their resolutions will be for an abducted young child who is frightened, alone . . . and in serious peril.
