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

The fact that Snow did not sneak into “red China” to gather information constituting the basis of his Red Start over China all alone is in many instances isunderstood even by scholars.Mao Zedong’s biography has been the subject of an international mountain of commentary in China and elsewhere. Biographies praising Mao and those slandering him are all based on the American journalist Edgar Snow’s (1905–1972) account in Red Star over China for the route Mao traveled from early childhood through his youth.How the “Red Star” Rose introduces the image of Mao and the biographical information made known to the world through the publication of Red Star, and with its publication the circumstances which they fundamentally undermined. Ishikawa Yoshihiro uses Mao Zedong as raw material to examine from whence and how ordinary historical information and images which we habitually use unconsciously come into being.He desires to help readers to reconsider the historicity of the generation of not only

序The publisher invites Japanese readers and Satoyama supporters to spread these stories of harmonious coexistence between humanity and nature in rural communities in Taiwan, and to keep telling the story of the Satoyama Initiative. Let us keep learning from one another through exchange, strengthening the friendship between Taiwan and Japan on the road to landscape restoration, and contributing to global biodiversity. We are all in this together, and we can do it together.內容簡介There are four books in the set, about four rural communities in Taiwan. First, The Spring on the Highland explains how two generations of farmers in Gonglaoping, Fengyuan District, Taichung enjoy the fruits of kinship with the land following the restoration of the spring on the highland. Second, Farming Village Co. Unlimited is about a Satoyama-inspired enterprise based on crop diversification and creative local produce marketing in Gongrong, Sanzhi District, New Taipei City.

本書特色Analyzing authors by analyzing the words they use;Revealing the person behind the pages by revealing the condition of language.序【Acknowledgements】 I want to thank Mr. Michael Song, the President of Showwe Publisher (Taipei, Taiwan), for his encouragement and his thoughtfulness. My thanks also go to Irene Cheng and Lestat Yin for making this book possible.【Preface】 The initial idea of writing such a book on the condition of language comes from a question, which was asked by Jean-Paul Sartre in his book, What is Literature? In fact, Sartre truly wanted to ask himself and the readers, this essential question - 'What is Writing'? In Sartre's Words, again, he mentioned the way in which Charles Schweitzer was 'amazed' (Sartre 89) by the French language. In some ways, Schweitzer did not consider himself 'as a writer' - he 'played' with the language, and yet, 'had not quite made it his own' (Sartre 89). Sartre's words indicate that to write in a specific language - as a writer - firstl

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

The issue is divided into two parts: the first part is dedicated to a review of the publication history of the journal, its manner of selecting works to publish, as well as its contributions to the scholarly field. 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.

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

亞歷山大·蒲柏（Alexander Pope, 1688-1744），十八世紀最偉大的英國詩人，《牛津名言詞典》（The Oxford Dictionary of Quotations）收載條目第二多的詩人（僅次於莎士比亞），畢生勤於著述，擅多種題材文體。學識豐贍，才氣縱橫，洞燭世態人心，作品中妙語警句俯拾即是，許多都成為了英語世界的成語，例如“Hope springs eternal”（希望之泉永不竭）、“To err is human, to forgive,divine”（犯錯是人性，寬宥是神性）、“A little learning is a dang'rous thing”（一知半解害死人）、“Damning with faint praise”（名褒實貶）、“Fools rush in where angels fear to tread”（無知者無畏）。後輩詩人拜倫是對蒲柏五體投地：“無論時間或空間，哀痛或衰年，都永遠不能減損我對他的崇敬。他是偉大的諷喻詩人，規箴一切時代、一切風土、一切情感，以及生存的一切階段。他是我少時的歡樂，壯歲的志趣，或許還會成為我暮年（假使我有幸活到暮年的話）的慰藉。他的詩篇，便是人生的寶典。”蒲柏《呆廝國誌》是一部諷刺史詩，初刊於1728 年，最終版刊行於1743 年，前後歷時十五年，稱之為蒲柏畢生心血結晶，絕非過甚之辭。此詩以虛擬的“呆廝女神”為線索，鋪敘社會日趨粗鄙的頹敗進程，尖銳抨擊文藝市場化、低俗化、政治化的時弊，嬉笑怒駡，酣暢淋漓，直筆寫出一部活色生香的大不列顛墮落史，堪稱西方諷刺史詩的里程碑式巨製。這部詩作帶來莫大的聲名，同時給蒲柏招來了無數敵人，致使他餘生楚歌四面、怨謗隨身。文學史上稱許為“英語詩歌史上最引人入勝、最獨樹一幟的作品”的《呆廝國誌》，也許翻譯難度太大，直至現在牛津終於能出版給中文讀者。
