2012諾貝爾文學獎得主──莫言，最重要的長篇代表作之一肆意揮灑奇崛想像力、將荒誕魔幻發展到極致的作品「莫言將夢幻寫實主義與民間故事、歷史和當代社會合而為一。」──諾貝爾獎委員會The Nobel Prize in Literature 2012 was awarded to Mo Yan "who with hallucinatory realism merges folk tales, history and the contemporary".瘋狂與理智掙扎的記錄。本書除了是一部家族的歷史，也是一個作家的精神歷史。這本書是我於一九八七至一九八九年間陸續完成的。書中表達了我渴望通過吃草淨化靈魂的強烈願望，表達了我對大自然的敬畏與膜拜，表達了我對蹼膜的恐懼，表達了我對性愛與暴力的看法，表達了我對傳說和神話的理解，當然也表達了我的愛與恨，袒露了我的靈魂，醜的和美的，光明的和陰晦的…… ──莫言 這本書是莫言肆意揮灑奇崛想像力的長篇小說，堪稱華語文學中將荒誕夢幻發展到極致的作品；全書透過六個荒誕又密切關聯的夢境，表達出莫言對高密東北鄉食草家族的想像與嚮往。莫言認為最原始的人類應該是食草動物，據說食草家族的人單純善良又美好，他們由於每天吃草，牙齒特別白，嘴裡常帶一股草的清香……；他們只是吃草，對於自然沒有過高的要求，沒有太大的野心，遇到天災會寄託於神的庇佑，但是也會靠自己的力量去面對……；但他們也會有恐懼、暴力、復仇與醜陋的欲望……。小說以高密東北鄉為背景，描寫生活在貧瘠而又富饒的土地上，人們與大自然的關係、人與人之間的生存關係。歷史與現實，人為與自然，全書融合視覺、味覺、觸覺與魔幻荒誕的想像，濃墨重彩兼之天馬行空，令人驚歎。是莫言肆意揮灑奇崛想像力的極致作品。

In Frank Miller and David Mazzucchelli’s Daredevil: Born Again, the comic’s titular hero has his life destroyed after his most menacing enemy learns his real identity. His attempts to rebuild his life and sanity result in one of the most gripping and impactful super hero storylines of all time. Released in 1986, the storyline is an extraordinary exploration of what happens when a hero’s identity is revealed, and his personal life completely annihilated. We see Daredevil reduced to the lowest depths in the character’s history, but we also follow his painstaking path toward redemption.This entry in MARVEL AGE OF COMICS explores Daredevil: Born Again’s gorgeous and unique artwork, the lasting impact of its story and art, and how it forever changed the ways super hero characters and their secret identities have functioned.

The Avengers was the comic book of the 1970s. From Civil Rights to Women’s Lib, battles for the soul of America became battles between super heroes. Writer Stan Lee and artist Jack Kirby co-created the all-star group of six super heroes in September 1963. From there, just three main writers chronicled Earth’s Mightiest Heroes in that most turbulent of decades: Roy Thomas, Steve Englehart, and Jim Shooter, each with differing approaches. The Avengers quickly became the pivot around which the Marvel Universe turned. To look back through its issues is to get a crash course in ’70s pop culture. Illustrated with full-color art from this legendary run, Paul Cornell’s entry in the MARVEL AGE OF COMICS series explores how the Mighty Avengers became icons during a time of immense change and upheaval.

A slow-brewing, increasingly exciting, and deeply provocative fantasy world. --Booklist Against the backdrop of a desolate and mystical town, New York Times bestselling author Sarah Beth Durst writes an arresting, fantastical novel of one woman's impossible journey--and her quest to find her fate. Lost your way? Your dreams? Yourself? Welcome to Lost. It was supposed to be a small escape. A few hours' driving before turning around and heading home. But once you arrive in Lost...well, it's a place you really can't leave. Not until you're Found. Only the Missing Man can send you home. And he took one look at Lauren Chase and disappeared. So Lauren is now trapped in the town where all lost things go--luggage, keys, dreams, lives--where nothing is permanent, where the locals go feral and where the only people who don't want to kill her are a handsome wild man called the Finder and a knife-wielding six-year-old girl. The only road out of town is engulfed in an impassable dust storm, and esc
