本書不是講述種種神話，而是闡述神話研究的種種方法，或者說神話的種種理論，並且是限定在現代神話理論的範圍之內。神話理論和神話本身一樣古老，其出現至少可以追溯到前蘇格拉底時代。本書論及的所有理論都把神話看作故事。誠然，泰勒(E. B. Taylor) 將故事轉變成了一種不言而喻的概括，但這一概括依然要由故事來承載。列維– 施特勞斯(Claude Lévi-Strauss) 超脫於故事以尋求神話的「結構

The touching account of the interaction between the author and her mother sends a strong message about keeping a balance, maintaining dignity whilst coping with the effects of the symptoms of dementia and the need to make the best of what we still have. It is a story of love, resilience, perseverance, and hope.

杜甫一生的虛構自傳一個穿越了多個時代、多場戰火、多種語言的杜甫，帶著他的多重身影重返我們的生活現場。— 西川「世界偉大的隨筆家之一 」——《紐約時報》「一位隱蔽的文學領袖」My favorite essayist is Eliot Weinberger.His remarkable breadth of calm concern is impressive.—Gary Snyder (Pulitzer Prize Winner, 1975)­This is a book concerned with mortality, friendship, and regret.­The psyche looking back at its life. As such, The Life of Tu Fu sometimes feels like a poetic biography of my own life, or maybe yours.—Forrest Gander (Pulitzer Prize Winner, 2019)溫伯格巧妙地運用拼貼手法，從杜甫一千多首浩瀚的詩歌中擷取靈感，將其詩句、意象與情感重新編織成五十八首全新的詩篇。這些詩篇猶如一幅幅流動的畫卷，描繪出杜甫顛沛流離的一生，以及他所經歷的戰亂與瘟疫。儘管時空相隔千年，但在後疫情時代，我們或許更能體會杜甫詩歌中那種深刻的孤獨與蒼涼。這部作品不僅是對杜甫一生的致敬，也是對我們自身、對苦難和對人生短暫易逝的反思。Drawing inspirations from a vast oeuvre of more than a thousand poems, Eliot Weinberger has deftly composed a montage of ­fifty-eight poems derived and adapted from the lines, images, and feelings in Tu Fu’s poetry. These poems weave a tapestry of Tu Fu’s turbulent life and times of war and disaster.In the post-pandemic era, we may appreciat

動物園裡, 母虎產下三隻小虎後失救致死, 園方請來溫馴的母猩猩充當褓母, 在她悉心照料下, 幼崽茁壯成長。可是戰火忽然爆發, 動物園淪為廢墟, 為求生存, 母猩猩被迫帶領小虎重返野外, 展開一場殘酷淒美的蠻荒之旅。Three Tiger Cubs, One Accidental Mother, An Unbreakable Bound. Three Cubs nestled safe in the zoo, cared for by gorilla and man. But when flames of war reach their home, they are thrust alone into a savage wilderness. Here, family bonds will be tested in a land where courage means survival. Their exodus is a trial of fire, and only the bold of heart will endure to see if home is more than fading memory.

《金融時報》2023年最佳圖書之一2017年1月1日，加拿大籍學者貝淡寧（Daniel A. Bell）獲任命為山東大學政治學與公共管理學院院長。他既非公民，也不是中國共產黨黨員，卻因研究儒家思想成就斐然，成為中國首位重要高校的政治學學院院長。本書記錄了貝淡寧這位外籍「小官」的獨特經歷，也記述了他觀察中國學術界與政治體制互動的感想與建言。雖然「小官」貝淡寧自陳，他在院長任內並非一帆風順，「錯失與誤解不斷」，但顯然無損他站在高點觀察、點評中國社會與學術界的能力。例如，他解釋了中國官員（包含大學的管理者）普遍習慣染髮的原因。再如，他生動地描述山東飲酒文化，如何從孔子口中的「唯酒無量」演化到「不及亂」的過程。此外，貝淡寧直問了更多嚴肅問題：例如，大學的黨委書記應當扮演何種角色？反腐敗運動對學術界的影響何在，以及他體驗過正式和非正式言論審查後的感想與及建議等。對於中國政治前景，貝淡寧表示，他有機會坐在觀察中國大陸政治演變的第一排位置，大膽預測：基於過去三十年儒家思想在中國的復興，以及共產主義在2008年後「捲土重來」的現象，中國的未來很可能會由儒家思想和共產主義共同決定。 名人推薦「一本讓人拍案叫絕的書……《我在山東當院長》是一本饒有趣味且富洞察力的短篇回憶錄，講述了一位既非中國公民，也非中共黨員的外籍院長，管理一所中國重要學院的經歷和感受。他不得不處理世界各地管理人員都要面對的問題——例如喝酒，不僅學生喝酒、管理層幹部喝酒現象更普遍，以及其他林林總總的事情……《我在山東當院長》是一本妙筆生花的佳作。」——柯偉林（William Kirby），哈佛大學「《我在山東當院長》帶我們走進了西方人很少去過的地方——習近平時代中國大學的教師休息室、教室和黨會議。這是個《幸運的吉姆》遇上《美麗新世界》的場景：貝淡寧對一位資深學者的在中國大學生活的描述時而人性化、時而令人不安，時而搞笑——但總是令人大開眼界。」——芮納•米德（Rana Mitter），哈佛大學「儒家傳統的主要詮釋者貝淡寧，帶領我們走進當代中國高等教育的堡壘。他坦誠睿智、風趣幽默，講述了從加拿大法語區出生、入讀牛津大學，到遠赴中國最負盛名之一的山東大學擔任院長的輝煌學術生涯。貝淡寧敘述的故事引人入勝，他還以清晰的思路、敏銳的觀察力分析了中國和中國知識分子在21世紀面對的諸多挑戰和希望。」——孫笑冬（Anna Su

關於「數碼遊牧」（Digital Nomad）的生活模式與成為「世界公民」的人生實踐近年「數碼遊牧」的愈發盛行，讓「世界公民」這個身分更加鮮明，人們從此無分國界地透過自己的技能賺取生活所需，也同時遊走世界，探索生活的不同可能性。本書作者Kristie Ma便是「數碼遊牧」之行者，她透過文字，以生活故事、散文紀事的形式，跟讀者分享她的經歷與體會──・甚麼是「數碼遊牧」？・誰是「數碼遊牧人」？・為甚麼要遊牧？・哪裡是遊牧熱門地？・實現遊牧生活有何困難？* * *「怎樣才是自己喜歡的生活？」疫情下在家敲鍵盤，一個問題突襲腦際。病毒擾亂了社會的運作日常，也觸發了人們的生活想像——如果在家工作可行，那麼只要筆電隨身，接上網絡，不就可以在世界某個風景宜人的國度work from home嗎？2022年初，作者Kristie決定告別安定的日子，訂了一張單程機票，飛往了一個泰國小島，成為了「數碼遊牧」 (Digital Nomad)。自此，水清沙幼的海灘上、宏偉的活火山旁、一望無垠的田野間，還有匯聚各地遊牧人的咖啡店，都成為了她接案工作的好地方。擁抱起「世界公民」的身分，作者旅居不同城市，也隨緣遇上各路牧民。一段段短篇故事，由旅程中的奇人趣事牽引，帶我們一起探索關係、工作、自我……每一個人生中重要的課題。在哪裡出生、成長，人們無從選擇。然而，只要願意勇敢離開預設生活，我們總可以從悠悠遠路上，找到心之所屬。天涯若比鄰，四海也為家。LIVING AS A NOMAD──從遊牧，去找心中的那一片海。【好好過生活——閱讀推薦】・郭柏年—香港中文大學哲學系高級講師・馮偉賢—資深廣告創作人・Rubio Chan—GLO Travel、Culture Lab共同創辦人「本書記錄了數碼遊牧人的各種生活細節與困難，描繪了異國相遇的一段段關係，或許可讓早已自我設限的都市人，重新反思人生的抉擇與方向。」──郭柏年（香港中文大學哲學系高級講師）「把生命折回到初衷點，冒險、經歷，再認識真正的自己。Kristie在書中如實告訴你她的折騰、掙扎、不如意事⋯⋯生命沒有無懼意料之外的勇氣，就沒有橫衝直撞的精彩，fair play，right？」──馮偉賢（資深廣告創作人）「Kristie的書，就像一扇窗，給大眾了解數碼遊牧的生活，我認為最重要的是讓大家看見另一種生活方式的可能。」──Rubio Chan（GLO T

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。

《中國現代小說史》是夏志清教授名著A History of Modern Chinese Fiction的中文譯本。在中國現代小說的研究上，本書可謂劃時代的經典之作。夏教授以其融貫中西的學識，論述了中國自五四運動至六十年代初小說的發展；他更超越政治立場及門戶之見，致力於「優美作品之發現和評審」（夏志清語），並深入探求文學的內在道德情操。也是憑著這一股精神，夏教授以過人的識見，對許多現代小說家重新評

都說當代年青人心靈特別脆弱，承受不了一丁點的挫折、壓力，情緒易受困擾，更甚是輕言放棄生命。歸根究底，還是心理素質不夠好所致。 國際心理學界近年興起了一個新思潮—積極心理學（Positive Psychology），目的就是研究人類積極的心理品質，強調心理學不應僅在心理治療層面上發揮作用，更應培養人積極面對人生的能力，尋找快樂泉源。。 本書是一本兼顧理論與實踐的參考書，作者嘗試以輕鬆的筆觸，透過

Told through a little girl’s keen and often amused observation, AN INCH OF TIME gives a truthful, pleasant picture of daily life in Hong Kong in the post-war years. This first-hand account of the kind of home and school education received by many middle-class local Hong Kong children decades ago contains reminiscences about aspects of life-style, customs and traditions – both eastern and western – which average Hongkongers lived by in the 1940s and ‘50s. This memoir is set in a specific locality, the Happy Valley district of Hong Kong Island, home for over a century to the famous Jockey Club race-course.

VERA MAGPIE explores the gap between childhood fantasies of adult life and the stark reality of life in a women's prison. The eponymous narrator, Vera Magpie herself, is serving time for the murder of her three husbands, including Larry, a good man whom she loved, but doomed to die at Vera's hands because she has acquired a taste for murder. In prison, Vera experiences the reality that here are politics and a pecking order, just as in society at large, but here also she finds redemption through literature. Like many women who kill, Vera is a product of her own flawed past. But aspects of this past also count towards her early release from prison, as her new female lawyer successfully argues Battered Women’s Syndrome as a defence.-------------------------------------------------“Vera Magpie depicts pure life, nothing has been included or excluded, only human attitudes, psychology and behaviours have been condensed.”—Muhammad Shanazar “A knockout. This book is a little gem.”—J

Writing has always been a difficult subject to talk about, let alone writing an honest account about how one’s creative process is complicated by global lockdown and personal hardships. In Writing in Difficult Times, eleven young promising writers from Hong Kong wallow in some of their perhaps most confusing and troubling moments in life, and share their struggles. How do writers committed to crafted language maintain a dialogue with themselves? How does the dense urban living space affect creative outputs and thoughts? How do writers reflect on and evaluate gender roles, motherhood, and time? What roles does memory play in writing, if memory’s own language is not allowed to communicate? Each personal essay in this collection is available in both Chinese and English, hoping to build a timely and genuine connection with its readers, regardless of location and cultural background. Each word is a courageous sharing that makes a significant contribution to bilingual Hong Kong literary writ
