Mehar, a young bride in rural 1929 Punjab, is trying to discover the identity of her new husband. She and her sisters-in-law, married to three brothers in a single ceremony, spend their days hard at work in the family's 'china room', sequestered from contact with the men. When Mehar develops a theory as to which of them is hers, a passion is ignited that will put more than one life at risk.Spiralling around Mehar's story is that of a young man who in 1999 travels from England to the now-deserted farm, its 'china room' locked and barred.In enforced flight from the traumas of his adolescence - his experiences of addiction, racism, and estrangement from the culture of his birth - he spends a summer in painful contemplation and recovery, before finally finding the strength to return 'home'.

Their marriage has just become official, but In廥 has no intention of making it last forever. The manhwa adaptation of CHACHA KIM'S webnovel is now available in English print for the first time. Wedding bells are ringing, and In廥 Valeztena and C嫫cel Escalante are finally married. In廥 is a shockingly radiant bride, and the nobles who once scorned her now see her in a different light--including C嫫cel, who feels unsettled by all the attention on his dazzling new wife. But on the inside, In廥 remains determined to ultimately unravel this marriage and gain the freedom she could never obtain in her previous lives. The newlyweds begin their life together in Calztela, where C嫫cel is on military duty. The quaint coastal city may seem like a perfect honeymoon destination, but it also holds haunting memories from In廥's prior life. As she works to untangle herself from the past and keep her meticulous plans for the future in motion, In廥 finds that C嫫cel might make things more difficult than she expe

With a colorful cast of characters and a cellar full of wine, anything can happen--from murder to a second chance at love--in Jenny Elder Moke's half mystery, half romance adult debut set at a lavish destination wedding. A high-end wedding on a private island off the coast of Seattle sounds like something out of a magazine. But for bestselling mystery author Kate Valentine, it's more like a nightmare. Why Kate agreed to attend her ex-fianc?s wedding is its own enigma, but she'll plaster on a fake smile for two nights, with the aid of free champagne, naturally. And because the groom happens to be her editor, she'll try to finish a draft of her latest Loretta Starling mystery as a wedding gift. But when the bride is poisoned and Kate stumbles across a dead body, she finds herself in a real-life mystery that eerily echoes the plot of her latest novel. And the only person who seems willing to help Kate catch the killer is Jake Hawkins, aka: the Hostralian; aka: Kate's biggest romantic regr

★《紐約時報》、《今日美國》、亞馬遜書店暢銷書★ 原來，你以為的財富可能錯了?! 徹底顛覆對財富的狹隘認知， 活出更全面、更富足、不帶遺憾的人生 ★幫你做財富健檢—— 計算「新‧財富分數」，擁有五種財富才是真財富 ●「什麼是真正的財富？」一個天使投資人的靈魂拷問 你是否認為「只要賺到足夠的金錢，就能實現夢想人生」？本書作者薩希・布魯姆也曾如此深信。他是一位傳統意義的「人生勝利組」，曾擔任私募股權基金副總裁與天使投資人，努力追求事業成功，將賺錢、賺更多錢視為人生目標。然而，一位久未見面的老友的無心之語：「在你父母去世之前，你大概還會見到他們15次。」卻觸動了他，讓他反思，自己為了追求「成功」而忽略真正重要的事，特別是遠在東岸逐漸年邁的父母。 他開始追尋「什麼是真正的財富？」的解答，他開始與形形色色的人長談，聆聽他們分享人生最重要的事，從年輕的創業家到退休人士，從新手媽媽到空巢族、從富裕的律師到平凡的教師、薩希得到了一個重要的結論：我們真正渴望的，其實與金錢的關係遠比想像中小！人們對理想生活的期盼，驚人地相似，包含充裕的時間、圓融的人際關係、有目標和盼望地活、身體健康——最後才是金錢。 ●原來，你以為的財富可能錯了?! 擺脫財富的謊言 這個領悟讓薩希意識到，過去他所追逐、以金錢為唯一衡量標準的「財富」，是多麼的狹隘與片面。他將這種舊有的觀念稱之為「財富的謊言」（the wealth lie），並決心擺脫謊言的束縛，重新定義真正的富有。於是《人生的五種財富》這本書應運而生，它不僅是薩希個人心路歷程的記錄，更是一本引導讀者設計夢想生活的變革指南。 「財富」是我們人生最重要的追求，卻又無法清楚表達它的模樣，或是給出真正的答案。本書的核心概念就是提出了「五種財富」的新框架，取代了單一的「金錢財富」觀念。用一個簡單的財富健檢計算出「財富分數」，為讀者盤點現狀，並進而規畫未來的五種財富。 ●擁抱人生的五大財富 1.時間財富：指的是你對時間的掌控感與自由度——能按照自己的意願安排時間，將其投入到重要的人和事。薩希用一個簡單卻令人震驚的練習，讓你計算出與摯愛親人見面的剩餘次數，提醒我們時間的珍貴與有限，以及如何透過建立高效的系統來奪回時間的主導權。 2.社會財富：指的是你與他人的連結品質與深度。薩希用一個直白的問句：「在你人生的重要時刻，例如葬禮上，誰會坐在前排？」這些前排的人才是真正

當世界陷入沈默，我們如何守住微光？ 人如何在失序的黑暗中維持世界感與判斷能力？ 寫給動盪時代的精神求生指南，一部關於「生存美學」與「道德勇氣」的經典作品 這是一本關於如何在政治災難與道德混亂中，依然保持人性尊嚴與思想亮度的著作。漢娜．鄂蘭透過描繪相近時代具體人物的生命故事，來探討這些議題。這本書不是一般傳統的傳記，而是鄂蘭對這些人物生命切片的「側寫」。這是她少見以人物為中心、語氣溫潤、平易近人的著作，寫給所有在混亂中尋找方向的人。 「黑暗時代」此一核心隱喻，借用自布萊希特（Bertolt Brecht）的詩句。指的是二十世紀極權主義興起、納粹大屠殺、戰爭頻仍，以及公共領域被謊言和宣傳遮蔽的時期。在這樣的時代，傳統與權威已崩塌，人們失去了方向。但鄂蘭認為，即使在最黑暗的時代，我們也有權盼望些許光明。我們不依賴權威或歷史必然性，而是仰賴具體個人的「人性光輝」與彼此的「友誼」，在公共領域中相互啟迪、相互照亮。這種光亮並非來自理論或概念，而是來自具體的個人――他們的生活、言行和作品發出的微光。這種光雖然無法驅散所有的黑暗，但足以照亮周遭，讓我們看清世界。 本書涉及的關鍵哲學主題： ●公共領域（The Public Realm）： 鄂蘭強調個體必須在公共領域中現身。人只有在與他人的互動、對話和共同行動中，才能展現其獨特性與自由。當政府被謊言充斥、言論自由受限、或社會陷入平庸的集體主義時，公共領域就會「暗淡無光」。鄂蘭描寫的人物通常是在公共領域崩壞時，依然試圖站出來說真話的人。她認為，沒有了公共領域，人與人之間就失去了「客觀的距離」，會變得過於擁擠或全然孤立。 ●人性（Humanity / Humaneness）： 鄂蘭認為，人性不是天生的屬性，而是透過向他人開放、承擔對世界的責任、愛這個世界而獲得的。這是一種在極端惡劣環境中，依然能保持對他人的開放性，並堅持判斷是非的能力。人性不等同於內心的善良，而是在與他人的互動中、在承認彼此差異的前提下，所展現出的同理心與清明。 ●友誼（Friendship）： 不僅僅是私人的情感，而是帶有政治意義的連結。這種友誼不是那種「因為我們很像，所以在一起」的取暖，而是一種「為了世界而建立的連結」。友誼是透過對話來確認現實的一種方式，在公共領域失靈時，撐起了一個真實的空間。 ●世界性（Worldliness）： 這是鄂蘭哲學中極為動人的部分，常與

BATTLE AT FEI RIVERAs the northern emperor Fu Jian prepares to march on the south with an army of the undead, Chen Xing and his ragtag team of exorcists make one final, desperate attempt to convince him to reconsider. But even if Fu Jian abandons his unwitting alliance with the forces of darkness, that will only delay the plans of the Demon God Chiyou, not bring them to an end—and Chen Xing is no closer to solving the mystery of the Dinghai Pearl and releasing the Spiritual Qi of the Heavens and Earth, without which he knows they have no chance of defeating their ultimate foe. Xiang Shu, meanwhile, makes a drastic decision to solve what to him is the more pressing problem: Chen Xing’s imminent, fated death. Other forces are at work here, though, than the exorcists and their enemies, and when the pivotal moment arrives, nothing goes as either Xiang Shu or Chen Xing could possibly have planned…Series Overview: Once, ancient China was brimming with magic…but three hundred years ago, the S

所謂正常人，就是能夠達到性高潮並適應社會的人？「如果說《美麗新世界》是赫胥黎對地獄的驚人預演，那麼《島》就是他為人類留下的天堂藍圖；兩者互為鏡像，共同構成了二十世紀最完整的烏托邦辯證。」──《衛報》（The Guardian） 一場海難，將記者威爾拋上禁止外人登陸的帕拉島。他本奉財團之命，企圖掠奪島上資源，卻意外臣服於島民從容的生命姿態。在這裡，人不逃避死亡，不追求無痛的幸福；生活沒有二元對錯，可以自由探索生命的無限可能。文明社會追求的所謂「正常」人生，在這裡只顯得狹隘可疑。威爾慣用的自怨自艾、自嘲自憐，在坦率的島民面前，猶如廉價把戲般無所遁形。他逐漸愛上這座島的善良與平靜，開始追隨島民的生活方式，學習觀看自己、拆解自己。在島民引導下，威爾決定嘗試島上神秘的解脫藥，直視內心潰爛已久的傷。在意識之門開啟之際，境外勢力亦悄然逼近，他終究必須決定──是親手推動這座島走向毀滅，還是與這份脆弱的清醒，一同踏向未知？赫胥黎橫跨三十年的文明辯證一九三二年，赫胥黎以《美麗新世界》冷峻剖析文明異化，預言人類將喪失主體性，自願被囚禁於感官麻醉的假象天堂。三十年後，他在生命盡頭交出《島》，轉向探索內在意識。赫胥黎曾提到，他在《美麗新世界》中探討的是權力如何透過負面手段控制心靈，但他晚年更想扣問的是：「如果一個文明朝良善發展，那該會是什麼樣子？」《島》，就是他的回答。赫胥黎的文明預言：《美麗新世界》、《島》雙書同步上市

【反確定不是不確定，而是反抗確定性陷阱。】為什麼我們愈篤定，社會愈分裂？在這個過度確信的時代，我們最缺少的不是立場，而是有勇氣承認「自己可能錯了」。「每個故事都有三個版本：我的版本、你的版本，還有真相。」當我們掉進「確定性陷阱」時，就會輕易認為那些意見相左的人，如果不是壞（充滿仇恨），就是笨（無知愚蠢）。特別是面對社會與政治議題時，因為自身道德上的優越感，導致人們更加義憤填膺。確定性思維會讓人認為：那些我們最在乎的事情，原因和解方明明就顯而易見。但事實上，從個人選擇到種族、性別等爭議性議題，在道德或倫理上往往極其複雜。當每個人都堅信自己握有真理，只會助長世界更加壁壘分明，最終導致人們苛刻批評，甚至將反對者妖魔化。作者指出，這種「絕對的確定性」會讓人陷入三種思考盲點：•定論謬誤（The Settled Question Fallacy）：把自己的知識視為定論，對某件事深信不疑，自然會將相反觀點視為錯誤，甚至視為威脅，這會讓人封閉探問與對話的可能性。•對等知識謬誤（The Fallacy of Equal Knowledge）：我們天真地假設「只要你讀了同樣的書、知道了同樣的資訊，你就一定會同意我」，卻忘了即使擁有相同的資訊，也會因為個人經歷而有不同的解讀。•已知意圖謬誤（The Fallacy of Known Intent）：當對方反對我們的觀點時，我們不僅覺得是他錯了，甚至否定他的人格，這是忽略了在善與惡之間，也存在著灰色地帶。「唯一真正的智慧，是知道自己一無所知。」──蘇格拉底當我們不再急著審判，放下非黑即白的定見，開始好奇「為什麼你是這樣想？」那道隔絕彼此的高牆才會開始崩塌。我們誤以為自己是透過窗戶看世界，看見了毫無雜質的真相；其實，我們是站在哈哈鏡前，只能看見被信念扭曲後的倒影。願意質疑自身思維，未必會浮現正確答案，卻能幫助我們看見世界的複雜全貌，減少兩極化狀態。本書充滿社會學的洞見，啟發我們鬆動心中那份確信，接納每一種看法都有被提出、檢視與討論的空間。

Solitude, quiet, and independence are celebrated in this tender picture book about making friends with silence, perfect for SEL conversations about mindfulness, self-regulation, or alone time. When her mother leaves the den, Little Fox expects to spend the next few hours by herself. But then she hears a knock at the door--she has a visitor. At first, Little Fox is scared: Silence is so big and strange. Then they share a snack, and Silence helps her hear her heartbeat, even her own thoughts. Maybe time spent with Silence isn't so bad after all. Maybe Silence can be her friend.This allegorical story from Spanish author Nia Figueras was inspired by the first time she stayed home alone as a child--and by her experiences working at home during the COVID-19 pandemic. Young readers will welcome the book as a gentle exploration of solitude and independence.Illustrated by Spanish artist Anna Font, the original edition of The Visit was selected for the White Ravens list and received the Fundaci
