In the explosive finale to the epic romantic saga, Bella has one final choice to make. Should she stay mortal and strengthen her connection to the werewolves, or leave it all behind to become a vampire? When you loved the one who was killing you, it left you no options. How could you run, how could you fight, when doing so would hurt that beloved one? If your life was all you had to give, how could you not give it? If it was someone you truly loved? To be irrevocably in love with a vampire is both fantasy and nightmare woven into a dangerously heightened reality for Bella Swan. Pulled in one direction by her intense passion for Edward Cullen, and in another by her profound connection to werewolf Jacob Black, a tumultuous year of temptation, loss, and strife have led her to the ultimate turning point. Her imminent choice to either join the dark but seductive world of immortals or to pursue a fully human life has become the thread from which the fates of two tribes hangs. This astonishin

The definitive history of the 1990s New York Knicks, illustrating how Pat Riley, Patrick Ewing, John Starks, Charles Oakley, and Anthony Mason resurrected the iconic franchise through oppressive physicality and unmatched grit. For nearly an entire generation, the New York Knicks have been a laughingstock franchise. Since 2001, they've spent more money, lost more games, and won fewer playoff series than any other NBA team. But during the preceding era, the Big Apple had a club it was madly in love with--one that earned respect not only by winning, but through brute force. The Knicks were always looking for fights, often at the encouragement of Pat Riley. They fought opposing players. They fought each other. Hell, they even occasionally fought their own coaches. The NBA didn't take kindly to their fighting spirit. Within two years, league officials moved to alter several rules to stop New York from turning its basketball games into bloody mudwrestling matches. Nevertheless, as the 1990s

In an alternate version of 1893 America, New York is part of the Free States, where people may live and love whomever they please (or so it seems). The fragile young scion of a distinguished family resists betrothal to a worthy suitor, drawn to a charming music teacher of no means. In a 1993 Manhattan besieged by the AIDS epidemic, a young Hawaiian man lives with his much older, wealthier partner, hiding his troubled childhood and the fate of his father. And in 2093, in a world riven by plagues and governed by totalitarian rule, a powerful scientist's damaged granddaughter tries to navigate life without him-and solve the mystery of her husband's disappearances.These three sections are joined in an enthralling and ingenious symphony, as recurring notes and themes deepen and enrich one another: A townhouse in Washington Square Park in Greenwich Village; illness, and treatments that come at a terrible cost; wealth and squalor; the weak and the strong; race; the definition of family, and o

「傷心欲絕的善良國王一夕之間性格大變，殘酷與怒火使人民逃離。」熱愛故事的Shahrzad沉浸其中，想像自己跳上飛機找到國王，試圖用故事打動國王，使他重拾善良本性。沒想到，白日夢竟化成現實…。A retelling of the Scheherazade story, set in the contemporary world, Shahrzad and the Angry King centers on the scooter-loving, story-loving Shahrzad. One day, Shahrzad sees a boy in the park who she's never seen before. He looks sad, and because she loves stories and therefore always listens to everyone and everything, she asks him to tell her his story. He talks, she listens, and she hears the tale of a country that was peaceful and happy until misery befell its king when his wife died in childbirth. After, the king grows angry and cruel; so much so that the boy must flee with his family. After hearing this story, Shahrzad can't forget it. And so, one day, when she sees a toy airplane in a store, she begins to imagine that she is flying off to the boy's home country, where she confronts the king. Like Scheherazade, she tells the king stories, but this time not to save her own life, but tho

Dylan was six when The End came, back in 2018; when the electricity went off for good, and the 'normal' 21st century world he knew disappeared. Now he's 14 and he and his mam have survived in their isolated hilltop house above the village of Nebo in north-west Wales, learning new skills, and returning to old ways of living. Despite their close understanding, the relationship between mother and son changes subtly as Dylan must take on adult responsibilities. And they each have their own secrets, which emerge as, in turn, they jot down their thoughts and memories in a found notebook - the Blue Book of Nebo. In this prize-winning novel, Manon Steffan Ros not only explores the human capacity to find new strengths when faced with the need to survive, but also questions the structures and norms of the contemporary world.

On a dreary, stuck-inside kind of day, a brother and sister heed their grandmother's advice: "Use those beautiful and brilliant minds of yours.

And before they know it, their imaginations lift them up and out of their boredom. Then, on a day full of quarrels, it's time for a trip outside their minds again, and they are able to leave their anger behind. This precious skill, their grandmother tells them, harkens back to the days long before they were born, when their ancestors showed the world the strength and resilience of their beautiful and

Reverse paintings on glass occupy a special place in Chinese art, spanning the genres of glass working, export art, folk art, erotica, and meiren hua (paintings of beauties). Their unique appearance is the result of a challenging production process in which artists layer pigments in the reverse order of the normal painting procedure–highlights first, then mid-layers, and finally base colours. The final product is viewed in reverse from the opposite side of the glass, which must also be considered when creating the paintings. A product of the encounter between East and West, the manufacture of glass paintings in China was stimulated by European glass paintings brought to the imperial court by traders and diplomats in the seventeenth century. Initially made in Canton for Western consumers, by the eighteenth century their production had spread throughout China, with subjects and styles adapted to suit local tastes. The glass paintings in the Mei Lin Collection represent this later floweri

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

There are also research essays that consider the works chosen for translation themselves. The second part of the issue commemorates my retirement after more than forty years of teaching at the University of California, Santa Barbara. The main objectives of my work have been the English translation and introduction of Taiwan Literature.

What does it mean to be queer in a Confucian society in which kinship roles, ties, and ideologies are of such great importance? This book makes sense of queer cultures in China—a country with one of the largest queer populations in the world—and offers an alternative to Euro-American blueprints of queer individual identity. This book contends that kinship relations must be understood as central to any expression of queer selfhood and culture in contemporary cultural production in China. Using a critical approach—“queering Chinese kinship”—Lin Song scrutinizes the relationship between queerness and family relations, and questions Eurocentric queer culture’s frequent assumption of the separation of queerness from blood family.Offering five case studies of queer representations across a range of media genres, this book also challenges the tendency in current scholarship on Chinese and East Asian queerness to understand queer cultures as predominantly counter-mainstream, marginal, and unde

博客來語言學習類「年度之最」，熱銷10年全新改版！教你掌握讀英文最基本、最重要，卻最多人忽略的觀念：「一個句子只有一個主詞、一個動詞！」觀念正確，就算句子再複雜也能一看就懂！「單字都看得懂，連在一起變成句子就一片混亂！」「看完句子抓不到重點，只好從頭再看一次，花了很多時間！」「想搞清楚句子裡的每個單字和文法，結果讀得很慢，也愈來愈沒興趣！」本書作者黃玟君老師於國立台灣科技大學應用外語系任教多年，時常擔任國高中英語教學研習講師、受邀為企業開設英語進修課程。她觀察到，國人明明學了英文多年，卻還會有上述的困擾，多是出在學習觀念不正確，以至於出現「不斷背單字、卻看不懂句子」的情況。本書的目標就是破解這些英文閱讀困境，從最核心的觀念「一個句子，只有一個主詞、一個動詞」出發，不論句子多長、多複雜，都可以運用這個原則，快速讀懂句子的重點，從此改造你的閱讀力！一個句子只有一個主詞、一個動詞！每個英文句子都只能有一個主詞、一個動詞，其餘內容都是用於修飾、補充的「廣義形容詞」。舉例來說：The girl in a beautiful red dress likes me.The girl wearing a beautiful red dress with a lovely smile likes me.這兩個句子的主詞都是The girl（那個女孩）、動詞是likes（喜歡），雖然兩句各有修飾「女孩」的內容，但重點都是：The girl likes me.（那個女孩喜歡我。）只要找出句子的「主詞 + 動詞」，就已經掌握了句子的意思，閱讀內容再多、句型再變化也不怕！跳躍式閱讀，英文別再逐字看！聰明的讀英文方式，不是由左而右一字一字前進的「線性閱讀」，而是「跳躍式閱讀」──聚焦句子的主詞、動詞，迅速掌握重點。你可以現在試試看：After 10 years on the run, the criminal was apprehended by the police during a routine traffic stop.（逍遙法外十年的罪犯在警方一次例行的交通臨檢中被逮捕。）如果你快速掃過這個句子，能夠一眼看出主詞是the criminal（罪犯）、動詞是was apprehended（被逮捕），就算沒有細讀每個字，也會立刻知道：「有個罪犯被逮捕了！」用這樣的方式熟練跳躍式閱讀，聚焦重
