羅莎．波妮爾是十九世紀法國最知名的女性畫家，以描繪動物的作品廣受喜愛。她過著與時代規範不同的生活，不僅穿著褲裝、抽菸、狩獵，也與女性伴侶一同生活。本書由她的好友與伴侶安娜．克倫普克記錄下她的生命故事，穿插波妮爾親述的回憶，呈現她對藝術、性別與自由的獨特理解，是一部關於創作與真實人生的動人記錄。Hailed by her contemporaries as the most popular animal-painter, male or female, of the nineteenth century, the French artist Rosa Bonheur (1822-99) lived to see her name become a household word. In a century that did its best to keep women "in their place," Bonheur, like George Sand--to whom she was often compared--defined herself outside of the social and legal codes of her time. To the horror and bewilderment of many, she earned her own money, managed her own property, wore trousers, hunted, smoked, and lived in retreat with female companions in a little chateau near Fountainebleau named The Domain of Perfect Affection.Rosa Bonheur: The Artist's (Auto)Biography brings this extraordinary woman to life in a unique blend of biography and autobiography. Coupling her own memories with Bonheur's first-person account, Anna Klumpke, a young Ameri

In the middle of a steamy Calcutta night the phone rings. An unnamed man in a city of millions answers to a voice telling him that his long-lost sister is dead. He must go to the hospital to identify the body and claim his sister's orphaned newborn daughter until she can be adopted the next day.During the long hot night, the baby sleeps on a bedspread that used to be indigo blue, but has faded to almost white. As the child lies where the man and his sister used to sleep as children, he quietly writes stories for her, telling of his own childhood full of intensity, anguish, and poetry. He doesn't know his place in the world, but with the help of these stories, the baby someday might.Raj Kamal Jha's ethereal, poetic prose echoes the loneliness of the human condition.
