The magic and mastery of anime springs to life in this gorgeous celebration of the genre that features more than one hundred and fifty full-color frames. A uniquely powerful form of artistic expression, anime has embraced complex and provocative ideas since its inception in the mid twentieth century. This dynamic and wide-ranging book explores eighty key themes of the genre, from wars to natural disasters, nature to ecology, childhood to magic, dystopias to fables. It looks at more than one hundred masterpieces of Japanese animation, including Akira, Ghost in the Shell, One Piece, Princess Mononoke, Grave of the Fireflies and Howl's Moving Castle, to show how practitioners consistently balance tradition with modernity and how anime's distinct style has influenced other forms of media such as video games, comic books and live-action films. Covering an enormous range of talent--from Isao Takahata, Katsuhiro Ôtomo, and Makoto Shinkai to Studio Ghibli and Mamoru Oshii--it demonstrates how

We have carefully selected a collection of 20 exquisite paintings and calligraphy by Prof. Jao Tsung-i, accompanied by 50 cherished photographs captured during his worldwide travels. These features Prof Jao’s interpretations of landscapes from different corners of the world, including his large-scale paintings depiction well-know sites in Hong Kong, China, and overseas. We can observe how he exceptionally reflected the distinct character of each place and represented it using the traditional Chinese medium of ink and brush as well as Western painting style. As the old saying goes, “It is better to travel ten thousand miles than to read ten thousand books”. While achieving one of these is already incredibly challenging, Prof. Jao not only traversed thousands of miles, surpassing the accomplishments of both ancient masters and numerous contemporary painters.

英國Profile Books出版社與哈佛大學聯手打造古代史新系列【名家談古代世界史】第五部登場!! 市面上最翔實、全面、以現代考古成果呈現的羅馬史最終章！詳盡回溯人類史上最強帝國的興衰始末。 ǁ成功大學歷史系教授翁嘉聲 審定．導讀ǁ 內外交攻、由盛轉衰的二百年，一本專書道盡帝國傾圮的遠因和近憂；從東日耳曼人攻破防線那刻起回推，這「西方的起源」已掏空幾十年；羅馬帝國的高樓塌了， 西方諸國如何傳承文明遺產，轉而各自興起？近1,500年後義大利半島全境統一，而「羅馬」遺留的輝煌遺產——只供後世人們在古城斷垣殘壁中，遙想往日的榮光 《帝國的悲劇》是馬可孛羅文化「名家談古代世界史系列」第五部巨作，內容主要講述從西元三六三年尤利安皇帝戰死於波斯（美索不達米亞），到五六八年倫巴底人從北方翻越阿爾卑斯山，入侵亞平寧半島，建立倫巴底大公國的兩百年歷史。承上一冊《帝國的勝利》所述，在「五賢帝」之後的幾個世紀以來，羅馬都是世界上最大的帝國之一，其影響力遍及歐洲、北非和中東地區，其軍事力量成功抵禦了帕提亞人（安息人）、日爾曼人、波斯人和哥德人的進攻。然後迎來最終不可避免的分裂：汪達爾人（東日耳曼人）對羅馬的洗劫，以及西方國家從帝國崩潰為——首先在名義上處於帝國統治之下的王國；然後一個接一個地超越帝國。《帝國的悲劇》講述了羅馬逐漸崩潰的故事，其中充滿了宮廷陰謀、宗教衝突和軍事歷史，以及社會、宗教和政治結構轉變的細節；本書追溯了兩百年的羅馬歷史，呈現出這段時間裡，儘管帝國的東方仍然保持著強大政治實力和文化活力，但帝國的西方卻變得無法統治並屈服於動盪和各種變遷，終至瓦解。本書對羅馬因外部入侵而衰落的觀點提出質疑。相反，它關注的是那些生活在帝國內部的人們，其選擇和條件如何導致了它的衰落。因為打破帝國的不是一個單一的災難性時刻，而是一個漸進的過程；當人們明白羅馬已經滅亡時，帝國西側早已打破了帝國的枷鎖：外溢的文明往原先蠻族之地四散，造就了日後多元並陳的西方文明。 關於「名家談古代世界史」系列「名家談古代世界史」（History of the Ancient World Series）系列是由英國出版社Profile Books策劃，邀集英美兩地古代史專家，包括普林斯頓大學、杜倫大學、密西根大學、賓州大學等學校的一線歷史教授，統合西方學界近十年的研

Grounded in a desire to bring back to life rare items from the University of Hong Kong’s Fung Ping Shan Library that are entwined within the world of music and to place them in a context of books and images in American, British, and other Asian collections, Chinese Music in Print views the library as a repository not of information but of artifact, and then uses these artifacts as a means for generating scholarly narrative. It begins by assessing seminal texts in the Confucian canon set against the delicacy of the concubine and amanuensis Shen Cai’s calligraphy and poetry. Confucianism was itself a crucial aspect of courtly life, and an exploration of its ritual is the book’s second theme. Vernacular genres of opera and song are represented in the third chapter, while the Great Sage returns in the fourth for an exploration of the repertoire and richness of his favourite instrument, the qin. The final chapter ends the journey with discussion of the legacy of generations of Europeans who

2023年，香港中文大學迎來六十周年校慶。值此重要時刻，當反思大學使命—「結合傳統與現代，融會中國與西方」的歷史意蘊與時代價值。大學圖書館藉此難得機會，舉辦紀念展覽，展示館藏中日益豐富的西方漢學珍本。 本圖錄記錄了展出的藏書，並一一簡述概況，涵蓋從十五至十九世紀中葉的書籍、地圖和手稿。珍藏之中不乏最優秀的早期漢學著作。其中許多作品均由利瑪竇、湯若望等知名耶穌會教士撰寫，他們縱然人數不多，但在深入接觸近代早期中國社會與文化的過程中，一手創立了近代漢學，留下了近距離觀察中國的珍貴記錄。隨著這些傳教士的著作傳回歐洲，關於中國的歐洲書籍愈加準確詳細，歐洲人對中國的了解也與日俱增。本圖錄透過豐富的圖像，以及細緻的介紹和描述，呈現出一幅生動的早期歷史圖景，展現西方對中國持久而深入的興趣和理解，以及中西淵源的交疊與關聯。透過本圖錄，讀者亦可藉此思索如何更好地「結合傳統與現代，融會中國與西方」。 In 2023, The Chinese University of Hong Kong celebrates the sixtieth anniversary of its foundation. This occasion provides a moment for reflection on the historical and contemporary meanings of the university’s mission “to combine tradition with modernity and to bring together China and the West.” To this end, the celebrations include an exhibition of the University Library’s burgeoning collection of Western rare books about China, which is recorded and contextualized in this catalogue. This splendid volume features books, maps, and manuscripts from the fifteenth to the mid-ni

A deeply moving and brilliantly idiosyncratic visual book of days by the National Book Award–winning author of Just Kids and M Train. More than 365 images chart Smith’s singular aesthetic -- inspired by her wildly popular Instagram. In 2018, without any plan or agenda for what might happen next, Patti Smith posted her first Instagram photo: her hand with the simple message “Hello Everybody!” Known for shooting with her beloved Land 250 Camera, Smith started posting selfies with her phone, portraits of her kids, her radiator, her boots, and her Abyssinian cat, Cairo. Followers felt an immediate affinity with these miniature windows into Smith’s world, her daily coffee, the books she’s reading, the graves of beloved heroes: William Blake, Dylan Thomas, Sylvia Plath, Simone Weil, and Albert Camus. Over the days and months, a coherent story of a life devoted to art took shape in the extraordinarily personal photographs that chart Smith’s passions, devotions, obsessions, and whi
