The Guodian manuscripts are a cache of literary and philosophical texts from the fourth century BCE, discovered in a Warring States–period tomb in China’s Hubei Province. Through detailed decipherment and textual analysis, Kuan-yun Huang investigates the historical and philosophical contexts of these texts and convincingly proposes their association with Zisi, the grandson of Confucius. Huang not only offers an in-depth portrait of this famous scion from excavated texts and transmitted literary records, but also reveals the connection of the Guodian texts with early intellectual tradition in China, including the teachings of Xunzi, Mencius, Confucius, and the legendary Laozi, as well as the effort of rewriting that transformed Zisi’s original teachings into a conformist line of thinking, which defined and constituted the Confucian tradition of a later time.-------------- In Kuan-yun Huang’s The Lost Texts of Confucius’ Grandson, the shadowy figure of Zisi comes to life as an

「城市的燈光越來越疏落，當下的街道也比較黑暗；而由於比較黑暗，它就更像一條無止盡的隧道。他看不見外面任何東西來確定道路有多寬；黑暗從計程車的車窗開始，往外無盡延伸。黑夜是一個固體，他們在挖掘一條通道，不顧一切。」被重新發掘的經典、美國國家圖書獎得主約翰.威廉斯（John Williams, 1922-1994）四部小說作品，繁體中文版歷時十年，完整出版。作者一百零一歲誕辰，限量燙金書盒典藏版推出。本典藏套組包含約翰.威廉斯生涯四本小說：＿1948年出版《只有黑夜》Nothing But the Night＿1960年出版《屠夫渡口》Butcher's Crossing＿1965年出版《史托納》Stoner＿1972年出版《奧古斯都》Augustus約翰.威廉斯的四部小說故事截然不同，1948年出版、作者在二次大戰服役於空軍時完成的第一本小說《只有黑夜》講述一名神經敏感且對生命感到虛無的年輕男子的一天；1960年出版的《屠夫渡口》敘述一個來自波士頓的年輕人，被愛默生的超驗主義搞糊塗後到美國西部荒野找尋生命意義；1965年出版的《史托納》勾勒一位密蘇里大學英文系教授寂寂無名、表面看起來不甚成功的一生；1972年出版的《奧古斯都》以羅馬第一位皇帝豐富多采的一生以及其改寫歷史的功業為主題。四部小說雖然故事背景迴異，同時也圍繞著一個核心主題，不管是哪個角色，其一生往往是他與外在世界的摩擦下所產生的無法預期的產物。那個外在世界可以是大自然，可以是文明社會，是科羅拉多州的荒野，是州立大學裡狹窄的教學大樓，是亞力山卓金碧輝煌的宮廷。在威廉斯的小說中，「個人的力量」和「命運的偶然」的摩擦，往往是一種侵蝕：其過程可以令我們自覺的形象變得模糊，成為一個陌生人。《奧古斯都》首度出版的次年獲得美國國家圖書獎的小說獎，是他四部作品中唯一在他有生之年獲得公開讚揚的一部，而即便《奧古斯都》獲獎，威廉斯的作品仍未受到普遍廣大的注目、逐漸絕版，直到二十一世紀初，《史托納》法文版由法國國民作家安娜.戈華達翻譯出版、在英國獲作家伊恩.麥克尤恩盛讚、演員暨作家湯姆.漢克斯在美國時代雜誌封面大力推薦後，重新颳起炫風、在世界各地出版、再版，真正成為了暢銷經典。啟明出版於 2012 年開始委託台大外文系馬耀民教授翻譯，2014 年首次推出《史托納》即大獲好評，不僅獲選各通路年度選書，馬耀民教授的翻譯也讓讀者津津樂

His black-and-white illustrations have gained fame in his home country of Mexico and around the world.Here, in Ancient Night (Noche Antigua), David displays his immense talent with full-color illustrations for the first time.Ancient Night is a twist on two Nahuatl traditions: the rabbit which the Feathered Serpent placed on the moon, and Yaushu, the Lord Opossum who ruled the earth before humans came, and who stole fire from the gods to create the sun.Award-winning author David Bowles has written a poetic text – and carefully researched backmatter – to accompany David’s lush illustrations and story.

The special relationship between a child and his grandmother is depicted in this sumptuous book by an award-winning team. Inspired by memories of his childhood, Jordan Scott's My Baba's Garden explores the sights, sounds, and smells experienced by a child spending time with their beloved grandmother (Baba), with special attention to the time they spent helping her tend her garden, searching for worms to keep it healthy. He visits her every day and finds her hidden in the steam of boiling potatoes, a hand holding a beet, a leg opening a cupboard, an elbow closing the fridge, humming like a night full of bugs when she cooks. Poet Jordan Scott and illustrator Sydney Smith's previous collaboration, I Talk Like a River, which received a Boston Globe-Horn Book Award expored a cherished memory shared between a father and son. In their new book, they turn that same wistful appreciation to the bond between a boy and his grandmother. Sydney Smith's illustrations capture the sensational impressio

This is a book on a shelf ... waiting. With a seahorse kite in their hand, a child heads out with Dad to the library. On the way they stop at a park, joining lots of people, some of whom are flying kites, too. At the library, a person toting a big pile of books hands over a story on a favourite subject: the seahorse. All around, there are readers poring over books, each with their own questions, ideas to explore, hopes for the future ... and imaginations ready to spark. With a warm, lyrical text and expressive illustrations, John Schu and Lauren Castillo invite us to imagine the myriad of ways that books can foster connection and understanding – and how they can empower children to transform the world.

In this ground‐breaking, posthumous study, the late Lo Jung‐pang discusses the geographic, political,and commercial factors that led to the emergence of seapower and a navy under the Ming. WhileZheng He and his seven expeditions have received some scholarly attention, few understand the longhistory of maritime engagement which provided the nautical and technical background for thesevoyages. The evolution of this maritime engagement and its extension into the Indian Ocean is thefocus of Lo’s still‐timely and highly significant work.In addition to detailing the rise of the Ming navy and its extraordinary accomplishments, Lo alsoexamines some of the factors that led to the end of China’s first great maritime era: Why did Chinasuddenly seem to turn away from the seas? Were the military defeats in Annam and on the northernborders significant in this? Or were financial pressures key?Empire in the Western Ocean represents the most comprehensive and insightful English‐languagetreatment to date

Charise Mericle Harper (Crafty Cat, Just Grace, Fashion Kitty) delivers another hilarious and charming early graphic novel series starring Pepper and Boo, two darling dogs, and their suspicious housemate, the cat.Meet Pepper and Boo. They are two dogs who do not know much about cats. (Who does?) They wonder why the cat sleeps so much (in their beds!), licks itself so much, what the cat is thinking, and what makes the cat happy.Luckily, the cat can explain. The cat knows a lot about being a cat. They know a cat will sleep anywhere (a box, a keyboard, a sink, and Boo's bed) and any time of day. They know what cats like and do not like to eat. They also know that although they are different, they're happy to have housemates like Pepper and Boo.Harper cleverly shifts point-of-view between the cat and two dogs, creating laugh-out-loud moments through her text and art that younger readers will want to return to again and again.
