★美國總統國家與社會貢獻獎金獎得主★ 韓秀　傾情鉅獻 從一畫成名驚天下，到窮愁潦倒無人問 他是時代的孤勇者，更是西方藝術史的先行者 林布蘭（Rembrandt, 1606-1669）生於荷蘭萊登，以色彩鮮明的版畫與精湛的銅版蝕刻技術聞名於世，為巴洛克時期最具代表性的藝術家之一。早期善於以「明暗對照法」繪製栩栩如生的肖像，例如《杜爾普教授的解剖課》，他也因此畫一舉成為當時阿姆斯特丹最富有的人之一。 但好景不長，因為受妻兒接連過世的打擊，1640年之後，林布蘭的畫筆不再濃墨重彩，他的畫布變得灰暗，人物形象追求自然、更加忠於原貌──但這樣的轉變卻也讓他從此跌落畫壇。 荷蘭的風帆正在黃金時代的浪潮中駛向全世界，林布蘭的人生卻陷入了暗無星月的夜晚。因為不符合審美潮流，幾乎沒有人再肯委託他作畫，財務狀況每下愈況；到了人生的終章，林布蘭甚至必須割愛珍貴的異國收藏、不斷遷居，過世時幾乎可說是身無分文、窮愁潦倒…… ═════ 林布蘭畫布下的故事 ═════ ♦《夜巡》（The Night Watch） ──世界三大油畫之一，為何當年會被裁剪、焚毀、謾罵百年？ ♦《猶太新娘》（The Jewish Bride） ──讓梵谷為之瘋狂的詩意之作，訴說林布蘭一生最重要的女人 ♦《杜爾普教授的解剖課》（The Anatomy Lesson of Dr. Nicolaes Tulp） ──杜爾普教授是誰？一窺十七世紀荷蘭的醫學片段 ♦《克勞迪‧基維里斯密謀起義》（The Conspiracy of the Batavians under Claudius Civilis） ──只餘下草圖的偉大畫作，究竟是得罪了何人？ ♦《雅各與天使角鬥》（Jacob Wrestling with the Ange） ──無比經典的聖經故事，也是林布蘭一生心志的寫照…… 「我的身心為之一震，彷彿有一塊巧奪天工的色彩撲面而來。」 「當沉溺於心中的夢想時，他失去了一切，但同時，他也得到了一切。」 「終其一生他都生活在一個虛幻的世界中，這個世界有著無限的美麗和完滿，以至於世人只能聳聳肩，帶著惡意與嫉妒的嗤笑，不予理睬

Dylan was six when The End came, back in 2018; when the electricity went off for good, and the 'normal' 21st century world he knew disappeared. Now he's 14 and he and his mam have survived in their isolated hilltop house above the village of Nebo in north-west Wales, learning new skills, and returning to old ways of living. Despite their close understanding, the relationship between mother and son changes subtly as Dylan must take on adult responsibilities. And they each have their own secrets, which emerge as, in turn, they jot down their thoughts and memories in a found notebook - the Blue Book of Nebo. In this prize-winning novel, Manon Steffan Ros not only explores the human capacity to find new strengths when faced with the need to survive, but also questions the structures and norms of the contemporary world.

本書試圖從國共內戰遺緒探討臺灣小說中呈現的復原神話與情感結構。戰爭造成了各種的傷害，帶來積極復原的渴望，召喚意義的同時，造成了不同以往的新感覺、新思維。戰爭遺緒是重述記憶時的新基點，致使復原並非完全是過去的重現，反而添加了許多現下的想像與願望的結果。因此本書將借重朱迪斯‧巴特勒（Judith Butler）戰爭框架（frames of war）以及雷蒙‧威廉斯（Raymond Williams）情感結構（structures of feeling）的概念，勾勒國共內戰後臺灣小說對於國族復原的想像敘事。分析小說家如何建構復原神話敘事以獲取意義，產生認同的動能，同時讓支撐此神話的情感結構成為可以指認、分析的對象。最終提出「復原神話」與「情感結構」術語之理論界說，以此思考兩者對現下文化與心靈之影響。

「薄伽梵」在印度的靈性傳承裡，代表的是上主在地球上的化身；《薄伽梵歌》即意為上主之歌（The Song of God），係記載上主克里希納（Lord Krishna）與阿朱納（Arjuna）王子間一場奇妙而不可思議的對話——關於靈性知識的揭示，是超越宗教的宇宙真相和人生哲理。《薄伽梵歌》是最重要的印度教修行聖典，同時也是許多印度大修行者最重視的一部經典，對今日之印度乃至全世界的很多層面，都有著極大的影響。聖雄甘地在他的自傳中說：「真理是至高的原則，而《薄伽梵歌》乃是指向真理之知識中，最精妙的書。」《薄伽梵歌》出自史詩《摩訶婆羅多》（Mahabharata），全書十八章，共七百行詩句。《摩訶婆羅多》敘述同為俱盧族的持國王（Dhritarashtra）百子與般度（Pandu）五子，兄弟之間為爭奪王權而進行的一場戰爭。戰爭在俱盧之野進行。由於持國王眼不能視，毗耶娑願意賜給他視力，讓他看到戰爭的情況。但持國王不忍親眼看到親族間的殺戮，毗耶娑遂將靈視的力量賜予他的大臣山佳亞，由山佳亞將戰況敘述給持國王。《薄伽梵歌》敘述的就是開戰前，克里希納與阿朱納王子間的一場靈性對話，藉由山佳亞之口說與持國王聆聽。在這場對話之後，接著的就是為期十八天的戰爭，戰況空前激烈，雙方死傷慘重。持國王一方全部罹難，般度一方也幾乎只剩下般度五子存活。俱盧之戰是歷史上的戰役，同時也是心靈的戰場。《薄伽梵歌》中的般度五子，代表的是我們認同的個性，而持國百子正是我們所不認同的陰影。不論認同與否，都是小我的一部分。小我既是造化所為，所以也是虛妄而不永恆的。克里希納在《薄伽梵歌》中一再地提醒我們，應平等看待一切二元對立的事物：好惡、成敗、榮辱、冷熱等皆然；從內在捨棄、不執著，並時時專注於至上。在《薄伽梵歌》中，克里希納不親身參與戰爭，卻擔任阿朱納的馬夫，正意味著我們應讓上主成為我們的馭者。總結來說，《薄伽梵歌》有兩個主要啟示：第一是捨棄與臣服。捨棄是放下對外在事物、內在欲望與感官感受的執著；臣服則是更進一步放下自我，將自己交給上主，全然地接受上主為我們所作的任何安排。第二個啟示是克里希納在這場對話的最後對阿朱納說的：「……你是我所摯愛的」，這是上主對我們的保證。我們原本就是上主的子女，在世間汲汲營營為名為利，無非也是反映著我們內心對愛的需要與渴望；只要捨棄與臣服並專注於上主，我們終可感受到上主無所不在的愛而永不匱

投資大師們的指定教科書巴菲特說：「別人貪婪時我恐懼，別人恐懼時我貪婪。」索羅斯說：「市場總是錯誤的。」華爾街教父 班傑明‧葛拉漢：「不做群羊，一要正確思考，二要獨立思考。」在價格處於高位時對利多消息保持懷疑，在價格處於低位時對利空消息保持懷疑。本書的五大原則總結：1. Your main purpose must be to keep the mind clear and well balanced. Hence, do not act hastily on apparently sensational information; do not trade so heavily as to become anxious; and do not permit yourself to be influenced by your position in the market.1.你必須目標明確，頭腦冷靜，不能因一些道聽塗說的消息而莽撞行事；不要過度交易讓自己變得焦慮；更不能盲目地固執己見。2. Act on your own judgement, or else act absolutely and entirely on the judgement of another regardless of your own opinion."To many cooks spoil the broth."2.要麼依照自己的判斷行動，要麼無視自己的看法、絕對徹底地按別人的判斷行動。「人多手雜反而壞事。」3. When in doubt, keep out of the market. Delays cost less than losses.3.當心存疑慮、游移不定時，不要進行交易，延誤成本小於虧損。4. Endeavor to catch the trend of sentiment. Even if you should be temporarily against fundamental conditions, it is nevertheless unprofitable to oppose it.4.努力培養對走勢的敏感度，即使目前你還不能把握它，但這也絕不會是作無用功。5.

For fans of Shut Up, This Is Serious, this humorous, relatable novel gives an honest look at what it's like to fall in love for the first time...with someone you were sure you hated. High school senior Mayte has never been kissed, but it hardly matters. Her abuelita has cancer, her half sister with special needs has moved in, and college is off the table--family comes first. She keeps her problems to herself; why burden everyone she loves with more? Meanwhile, fellow senior Auggie is set on attending an elite creative writing program. But as the self-proclaimed most boring person alive, he can't exactly write the next great American novel when he's struggling to write a short story for college applications. After an awful blind date ("disaster" doesn't even begin to describe it), Mayte and Auggie are forced together by their merging social circles. The pair must at least pretend to get along...but soon they develop actual feelings. Then tragedy strikes Mayte's family. Auggie feels comp

人權不是特權。人權到底是什麼？一本適合所有人閱讀的人生教科書納稅者權利法跟我有什麼關係？家長有權利對「同志教育」說不嗎？歌手不能唱自己的歌？紅燈何時亮，幾時可尋芳？……最實用的人權讀本，30條基本人權的探索與思辨，幫助我們真正理解人權的意涵，成為一個更進步的世界公民。人權並非國家所賦予的權利，而是先於國家、任何社會與法律制度出現前就存在了，而人權的內涵就在於體現對人之尊嚴的尊重，每個人都是有自主性的主體，而不會淪為被他人或國家所支配的客體。1948年12月10日，聯合國大會通過了《世界人權宣言》（Universal Declaration of Human Rights），那是第一份全球性的人權保障文件，這一天也被訂為人權日。二戰結束後，世界各地的人們看盡殘暴的國家機器如何輾壓自己或其他國家的人民，因此聯合國成立時，各國即把人權保障視為這個國際組織最重要的目的之一，並迅速通過了《世界人權宣言》。／人權法典化是為了賦予人民對抗國家暴力和歧視的武器――雖然締約或修改條文都太困難，但我們能透過重新詮釋、擴充文義，讓人權法持續保持其活力和韌性。反之，若任由政府恣意排除或限制人權內涵，將失其最初捍衛個人尊嚴及促進社會正義的精神。這也是一開始想編輯這本書的主要目標，希望提供讀者有關人權與基本自由的基本認識，學習相關語彙後，用以觀察自己與其他人的生活處境，進而勾勒出心目中理想社會的藍圖。――法律白話文運動本書邀請一群年輕有想法、寫過多部暢銷法普書的「法律白話文運動」執筆，以明確好讀的文字，把嚴肅的法律知識，轉化為一般大眾容易理解的常識。內容以聯合國特別為青少年編寫的《世界人權宣言》簡易版三十條為基礎，從每一則法條的核心精神作闡釋，並援引國內外的案例，輔助說明該法條我們應該具備的正確觀念，探索人權樣貌，傳達人權基本知識，幫助我們更確認與思索人權的重要。也許我們對這些人權條文並不陌生，但我們對它的內涵確實為何，其實仍然一知半解，甚或明知故犯；在世界仍然到處充斥忽視人權、侵犯人權的情況下，我們如何理解並維護自身的人權，已是一個當代的重要課題。作為自許尊重人權的台灣，其實我們還有許多可以努力的空間，這本書深入淺出的書寫，提醒我們正視人權的重要，我們才能更往前成為一個進步的世界公民。●內容大要美國知名歌手小甜甜布蘭妮為何害怕父親的監管？性工作者真的不配擁有工作權？反送中運動為何衍生出抗議者
