2012諾貝爾文學獎得主──莫言，最重要的長篇代表作之一第一部關注「現代中國60年生育歷史」，直視中國現實與人性議題「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".計畫生育毫無疑問是中國幾十年來的大事件和熱點問題，牽扯到千家萬戶，許多人的命運……您說您的腦海裡已經有了一個騎著自行車在結了冰的大河上疾馳的女醫生形象，一個揹著藥箱、撐著雨傘、挽著褲腳、與成群結隊的青蛙搏鬥著前進的女醫生的形象，一個手托嬰兒、滿袖血污、朗聲大笑的女醫生形象，一個口叼香菸、愁容滿面、衣衫不整的女醫生形象……我的《蛙》，通過描述姑姑的一生，既展示了幾十年來的鄉村生育史，又毫不避諱地揭露了當下中國生育問題上的混亂景象。直面社會敏感問題是我寫作以來的一貫堅持，因為文學的精魂還是要關注人的問題，關注人的痛苦，人的命運。而敏感問題，總是能最集中地表現出人的本性。當然，寫敏感問題需要勇氣，需要技巧，但更需要的是一個作家的良心。作家要寫靈魂深處最痛的地方。寫作的根本目的不是對某項政策的批判，而是對人性的剖析和自我救贖。寫人的靈魂，寫人的懺悔，這也許就是《蛙》這部作品的價值所在。 ──莫言擅長說故事的莫言，在以高密東北鄉為主題書寫的一系列小說後，推出更發人深省、目前為止還不曾有中國作家敢於踫觸的「中國計畫生育」議題的長篇大作。對於這項影響中國六十多年的基本國策，莫言的《蛙》可謂別具開拓意義。全書由四封長信和一部話劇構成。以主角蝌蚪和日本作家杉谷義人感人的通信為經，以鄉村女醫生姑姑驚心動魄的一生為緯；穿插以人體器官為嬰孩命名的風俗、童年啃煤炭的飢餓經驗、為了傳宗接代暗地尋得代理孕母的無奈情事……，諸多荒謬的情節交織出高密東北鄉的變遷與其絕世風土民情。「蛙」有多重的隱喻：是寫作的耐心象徵；是出生嬰娃的哭聲；是造子女媧的「媧」；是高密東北鄉的圖騰。小說藉由一個鄉村婦科女醫生（姑姑）的形象，傳達出對生命強烈的人道關懷，也反映了新中國近六十年波瀾起伏的計畫生育史。莫言

Turn back the clock with History Comics! In this volume we explore the Great Depression, an era of economic turmoil, resilience, and innovation.In October 1929, a stock market crash in the United States caused millions of people to suddenly lose their savings, their jobs, and everything they owned. Many had to survive by waiting in long breadlines for free food, building their own homes from trash, and making clothes from scraps. Some rode railroad cars in a desperate search for work, only to end up on farms battling huge dust storms. This was the Great Depression, a time of tragedy but also one where people showed immense grit.

制定〈偵探小說十誡〉偵探小說理論的奠基者羅納德‧諾克斯與克莉絲蒂、切斯特頓並肩的黃金推理名家，強調公平的智力挑戰，挑戰您的邏輯極限！推理迷必收藏的百年經典──【故事簡介】在十月一個雨霧瀰漫的午後，英格蘭帕斯頓・奧特維爾高爾夫俱樂部的吸菸室裡，四位受困的球友──前情報人員莫道特・瑞夫斯、邏輯家亞歷山大・戈登、牧師馬里亞特和教授卡邁克爾——從天氣聊到謀殺，探討偵探小說的哲學。隔日，一記失誤的切球將瑞夫斯引導至球場旁的鐵路高架橋下。在那裡，他們震驚地發現一具臉部被花崗岩磨損得面目全非的男性屍體。死者被確認為當地通勤客布拉澤胡德，他剛被宣告破產。現場線索充滿矛盾，警方傾向自殺，但四位球友決定擔任業餘偵探深入調查。他們發現死者擁有兩只時間相互衝突的手錶、一張可疑的單程火車票，以及一封充滿數字的密碼警告信：「如果你背棄你的信仰，你將會滅亡。」隨著調查展開，卡邁克爾拋出了顛覆性的理論：布拉澤胡德其實是當地零失誤球手戴文納特的另一個身分，利用這兩個對立身分潛逃。然而，當偵探們在會館牆壁中發現一個古老的神父藏身密道，並意識到他們的一舉一動正被一個躲藏的窺視者追蹤時，懸念驟升：真正的凶手，是否藏在他們之中？【系列特色】羅納德‧諾克斯生涯著有六本長篇故事。順序如下：陸橋謀殺案　The Viaduct Murder (1925)三個閥門　The Three Taps (1927)閘邊足印　The Footsteps at the Lock (1928)穀倉裡的屍體　The Body in the Silo (1933)死而不止　Still Dead (1934)雙重騙局　Double Cross Purposes (1937)
