Jane Austen's classic novel about heartbreak and second chances, now freshly repackaged for the Union Square & Co. Signature Clothbound Editions line. Eight years ago, Anne Elliot followed the advice of Lady Russell, her only true friend, and broke off her engagement to the dashing young naval officer Frederick Wentworth. When Anne and the now wealthy Captain Wentworth cross paths years later, it is clear that he has neither forgotten--nor forgiven--their past. Can true love survive heartbreak? Who should we listen to in matters of the heart? Filled with Jane Austen's trademark wit, Persuasion is both a delightful romantic comedy and a surprisingly subversive exploration of our need to persuade, and be persuaded by, others.

本書深入追溯莎樂美的歷史淵源與聖經背景，從考古與傳說中尋找她真實的面貌，並橫跨繪畫、雕塑、文學、戲劇、音樂、舞蹈與電影等藝術領域，探討她如何成為西方文化中象徵「愛與毀滅」的經典形象。透過大師之作，呈現莎樂美如何在不同時代中被重塑與再現，是一本結合歷史考證與藝術賞析的跨領域研究之作。希羅底的女兒進來跳舞，使希律和同席的人都歡喜。王就對女子說，妳隨意向我求什麼，我必給妳。又對她起誓說，隨妳向我求什麼，就是我國的一半，我也必給妳。──「我願王立時把施洗約翰的頭放在盤子裡給我。」莎樂美說。貝諾佐．戈佐利〈莎樂美的舞蹈〉：文藝復興時期的戲劇性敘事與人物對比早期義大利文藝復興時期著名畫家貝諾佐．戈佐利（Benozzo Gozzoli, 1420-1407）以油畫〈三王行列〉和為佛羅倫斯梅迪契．里卡爾小教堂所作的一組壁畫而聞名。他於1461年創作了一幅〈莎樂美的舞蹈〉（The Dance of Salome）的油畫。此畫以莎樂美為中心人物，她在向希律獻舞，而這位王者是幾乎有些驚恐看著她的舞蹈，王后則坐在一旁；其他的人表情各異，顯示了不同的心態。作者特地將施洗者約翰的被殺安排在左邊的一個角落，使主題形成強烈的反差。整幅作品場面宏大，色彩濃烈，風格與中世紀的繪畫完全不同。莎樂美題材的文學傳承不僅是中世紀和文藝復興前後，就是19世紀、甚至20世紀的作家、藝術家，對莎樂美的傳說，也同樣會像早些年的藝術家一樣的熟知和感興趣。同樣也就不難理解，莎樂美的故事就很自然地會受到眾多作家的青睞，激發他們投入自己的情感來重現這一故事。布萊恩．派克（Brian Parker）在〈斯特林堡的「朱麗小姐」和莎樂美的傳說〉（Brian Parker： Strindberg’s Miss Julie and the Legend of Salome）中曾作過統計，說是至1912年，僅僅在法國，就難以置信地竟然有2,789位詩人、作家曾運用過莎樂美的故事作為他們創作的題材。當然，這些作品，大多都沒有流傳下來，如今所知的以此題材創作的最著名作家，主要有福樓拜（Gustave Flaubert）、馬拉美（Stéphane Mallarmé）、于斯曼（Joris-Karl Huysmans）等幾位。馬拉梅筆下的莎樂美：超越故事表層的美學追求雖然眾所周知，從中世紀到文藝復興時期，已有大量的繪畫再現過有關莎樂美的故事，但是
