在耶誕節彩排的偶遇，讓 Aviva 和 Holly 發現了彼此竟是失散多年的雙胞胎姊妹！一位活潑外向、夢想登上百老匯舞台；一位內斂溫柔、立志成為作家。他們決定互換家庭過節，親身體驗對方的節日傳統。從糖梅仙子到馬鈴薯煎餅，交換的不只是節慶方式，更是重新認識自我與家庭的旅程。細膩描寫節日氛圍與童年困惑，甜中帶暖，是一部關於發現與連結的動人作品。When Aviva Davids and Holly Martin meet at the holiday pageant tryouts for their local senior's center, they think they must be seeing double. While they both knew they were adopted, they had no idea they had a biological sibling, let alone an identical twin! The similarities are only skin deep, though, because while Aviva has a big personality and even bigger Broadway plans, Holly is more the quiet dreamer type who longs to become a famous author like her grandfather. One thing the girls do have in common is their curiosity about how the other celebrates the holidays. What better way to discover the magic of the holidays than to experience them firsthand? The girls secretly trade lives, planning to stage a dramatic reveal to their families. Two virtual strangers swapping homes, holidays, and age-old traditions-what c

本書描寫一名充滿活力、總是停不下來的四年級女孩 Sparrow Robinson。她喜歡跳舞、喜歡提問，也特別喜歡貓。剛搬到新城鎮、新學校的她，卻因父母忙碌而感到自己格格不入。唯一讓她感到安心的，是隔壁鄰居 Mrs. LaRose，以及她收養的七隻貓。當 Mrs. LaRose 因受傷必須搬進安養機構、無法再照顧貓咪時，Sparrow 決定替牠們尋找新家。在一次次奔走與嘗試中，她暫時忘記自己的孤單，也逐漸在行動中找到被需要的感覺。本書以溫暖寫實的方式，描寫孩子如何在幫助他人的過程中，慢慢找到屬於自己的位置。An endearingly energetic fourth grader takes on the big job of finding new homes for her neighbor's seven cats in this "uplifting" (Publishers Weekly, starred review) illustrated middle grade novel for fans of Patricia MacLachlan and Sharon Creech.

大腦不斷重播被折磨的感覺， 所有的記憶和聯想都受到毒害， 唯一的避難方式只有遠離所有情感…… 曾經飽受躁鬱症之苦，人生彷彿墜入無盡深淵， 最後憑藉什麼信念成功走出，得到心靈的昇華？ 1909年，亞瑟．本森大病初癒， 提筆寫下這段與疾病抗爭的心路歷程。 【媒體好評】 “An amazing document in spiritual autobiography, valuable for its revelation of what a man thinketh, and abounding in golden phrases and sentences of rhythmic beauty, such as Benson's admirers have learned to expect from the great Cambridge stylist.”―Christian Advocate 「一部具傳奇色彩的自傳式精神世界的成長史，作家本森依然秉承劍橋大學出身的文學家的一貫創作風格，讓讀者享受豐富的、有韻律和優美的文筆及金句之餘，更啟發和引領讀者進入人類的思考層面和境界。」――《基督教導報》 “A piece of real literature of the highest order, beautiful and fragrant. To review the book adequately is impossible...It is in truth a precious thing.”―Weekly Survey 「文學最高境界的展現，華美而醇香。無法全面地評價這部好書，能讀到它便享受了一次最美好的精神饗宴。」――《觀察週報》 【心靈探索】 ▎沒來由的恐懼，不斷感到焦慮和痛苦 在我患病的大部分時間裡，我最大的憂慮就是害怕自己的智力突然衰竭。曾經有一段時間，我只能無助地坐在那裡，任憑恐懼感越來越強地向我襲來，勢不可擋地吞沒我身邊的所有事物，讓我感受到極大的痛苦…… ►亞瑟．本森體悟 你越是有恐懼感，就越容易養成恐懼的習慣，允許自己有這樣的感覺，從而使自己的精神狀態更加糟糕。最好不要直視悲慘事件，除非你有義務或被迫這麼做。你不可能透過訓練使自己這麼無動於衷，如果能更好地應對恐懼感，就會使自己變得更快樂、更灑脫。 ▎做什麼都感覺不對，前進與後退都是一種折磨 我

新來的冰熊好兇！牠大聲宣布自己是國王，還不聽大家說話。兔子不知所措，熊也不確定該怎麼辦——難道要找狼來幫忙？Gorgeously illustrated and with a classic feel, this is a brilliantly funny story of a rabbit and a bear ... and how to defeat an icebear who wants to be king. Ideal for readers moving on from picture books.'A perfect animal double-act.' The Times, Book of the Week Icebear has arrived in Rabbit and Bear's valley, and he wants to be king. He's big and scary, and the more kind and understanding the animals are, the meaner he becomes. Rabbit is confused: Bear has always been able to fix their problems in the past - but maybe this time he needs to ask for help from someone else.Does Wolf have the answer to the bad king's demands ... or will Rabbit and the other animals find the solution within themselves? From novelist and playwright Julian Gough, and the winner of the Roald Dahl Funny Prize, Jim Field, this is a story of friends, enemies, and how to avoid being pooped on by an icebear. 'Rabbit's Bad Habits is a breath of fresh air in c

亞歷山大·蒲柏（Alexander Pope, 1688-1744），十八世紀最偉大的英國詩人，《牛津名言詞典》（The Oxford Dictionary of Quotations）收載條目第二多的詩人（僅次於莎士比亞），畢生勤於著述，擅多種題材文體。學識豐贍，才氣縱橫，洞燭世態人心，作品中妙語警句俯拾即是，許多都成為了英語世界的成語，例如“Hope springs eternal”（希望之泉永不竭）、“To err is human, to forgive,divine”（犯錯是人性，寬宥是神性）、“A little learning is a dang'rous thing”（一知半解害死人）、“Damning with faint praise”（名褒實貶）、“Fools rush in where angels fear to tread”（無知者無畏）。後輩詩人拜倫是對蒲柏五體投地：“無論時間或空間，哀痛或衰年，都永遠不能減損我對他的崇敬。他是偉大的諷喻詩人，規箴一切時代、一切風土、一切情感，以及生存的一切階段。他是我少時的歡樂，壯歲的志趣，或許還會成為我暮年（假使我有幸活到暮年的話）的慰藉。他的詩篇，便是人生的寶典。”蒲柏《呆廝國誌》是一部諷刺史詩，初刊於1728 年，最終版刊行於1743 年，前後歷時十五年，稱之為蒲柏畢生心血結晶，絕非過甚之辭。此詩以虛擬的“呆廝女神”為線索，鋪敘社會日趨粗鄙的頹敗進程，尖銳抨擊文藝市場化、低俗化、政治化的時弊，嬉笑怒駡，酣暢淋漓，直筆寫出一部活色生香的大不列顛墮落史，堪稱西方諷刺史詩的里程碑式巨製。這部詩作帶來莫大的聲名，同時給蒲柏招來了無數敵人，致使他餘生楚歌四面、怨謗隨身。文學史上稱許為“英語詩歌史上最引人入勝、最獨樹一幟的作品”的《呆廝國誌》，也許翻譯難度太大，直至現在牛津終於能出版給中文讀者。

InJoan Didion: What She Means, the writer and curator Hilton Als creates a mosaic that explores Didion's life and work and the feeling each generates in her admirers, detractors and critics.Arranged chronologically, the book highlights Didion's fascination with the two coasts that made her. As a Westerner transplanted to New York, Didion was able to look at her native land, its mores and fixed rules of behavior, with the loving and critical eyes of a daughter who got out and went back. (Didion and her late husband moved from New York to Los Angeles in 1964, where they worked as highly successful screenwriters, producing scripts for 1971'sThe Panic in Needle Parkand 1976'sA Star Is Born, among other works, before returning to New York 20 years later.) And from her New York perch, Didion was able to observe the political scene more closely, writing trenchant pieces about Clinton, El Salvador and most searingly the Central Park Five. The book includes more than 50 artists ranging from Bri
