彌敦道自北至南貫穿太子（旺角）和尖沙嘴，沿途包括地標及建築計有半島酒店、重慶大廈、九龍公園、九龍清真寺暨伊斯蘭中心、東英大廈等，是九龍市中心的大動脈。彌敦道上店舖林立，大型廣告牌縱橫交錯，交通車水馬龍，時刻都是熙熙攘攘。盧沛雄鏡頭下的彌敦道全景合成圖像（左右兩邊地舖），既親切又陌生，是長時間等候找拍的成果。「也許，我想拍下的，不只是眼前美麗的景象，而是那些不斷流逝的記憶。」二OO五年的彌敦道，今天看來會否陌生? 修訂版保留原版照片，增訂文字，見證十年來彌敦道的變化。Nathan Road is the main thoroughfare in Kowloon, Hong Kong. Running in a south-north direction from Tsim Sha Tsui to Mong Kok district, Nathan Road is lined with landmark buildings such as Peninsula Hotel, Chungking Mansions, Kowloon Park, Islamic Centre connecting the locale districts. Known to locals and tourists as a must-go local fare, its amalgamation of shops, restaurants, advertising billboards, shop signages, and transportation exchanges points with its continuous flow of traffic and people, forms an energetic street scene.

First published in 1968, this volume of essays, posthumously edited by the author’s brother Professor C. T. Hsia (a prominent Columbia University professor of Chinese literature), focuses on Chinese literary criticism relating to the work of leftist Chinese writers, including Lu Hsün, Chiang Kuang-tz’u, the “Five Martyrs,” and Chü Ch’iu-po, who were sympathetic to the ideals of the pre-1949 Chinese communist party. As one of the few foundational texts to provide a critical overview of the aesthetics and politics of China’s leftist literary movement, The Gate of Darkness examines the conflicting dilemmas between leftist authors’ own ideals and the strict ideological frameworks imposed by the propaganda policies of the Chinese communist party in the early twentieth century.Hsia’s essays are exciting reading precisely because Mr. Hsia approached his subject not merely with the index-cards of a historian but also with the sensitive eyes of a novelist. Tsi-an Hsia is a creative and compassi

夏濟安、夏志清昆仲，中國現代文學批評界的兩大巨擘，他們早年的求學生涯，既是東西方學術交織融匯的實例，又是民國和1949年後「大歷史」的親身見證。他們的往來書信經由志清先生鄭重珍藏，經夏志清太太王洞女士授權，蘇州大學季進教授註釋整理，首次向外界披露。本書分為四卷，收錄了1947年夏志清赴美求學到1965年夏濟安因病逝世的17年間，兄弟兩人的通信六百餘封。在這些書信中，他們說家常、談感情、論文學、品電影、議時政，推心置腹，無話不談。我們可以看到夏志清如何從一位年輕的求學者，一步步成長為國際著名學者，也可以看到夏濟安如何流轉各地，為實現自己的理想抱負努力奮鬥的艱辛。夏志清（1921–2013），江蘇吳縣（今蘇州市）人，生於上海浦東，中國文學評論家，教授。1946年9月隨長兄夏濟安至北京大學擔任助教，醉心於西歐古典文學，因研究威廉‧布萊克檔案（William　Blake Archive）論文脫穎而出，取得留美獎學金至耶魯大學攻讀英文碩士、博士。在紐約州立學院任教時，獲得洛克菲勒基金會贊助，完成《中國現代小說史》一書，也奠定他學者評論家的地位。1961年任紐約哥倫比亞大學教席。2006年7月，當選台灣中央研究院院士。夏濟安（1916–1965），江蘇吳縣人。夏志清教授的兄長。上海光華大學英文系畢業，曾任教西南聯大、北京大學外語系和香港新亞書院。1950年赴台後任教於台灣大學外文系，為早期小說作家白先勇、歐陽子、王文興、陳若曦、葉維廉等人的啟蒙老師，1956年與吳魯芹、劉守宜等創辦《文學雜誌》並兼任主編，在雜誌上主張「樸素的、清醒的、理智的」文學，與其弟夏志清對當代文學的貢獻十分深遠。1959年赴美，在西雅圖華盛頓大學、加州柏克萊大學作研究，主要工作是研究中國共產黨黨史。1965年2月23日因腦溢血病逝於美國奧克蘭。夏濟安的中文著作還有《夏濟安選集》、《現代英文選評註》等；英文著作有The Gate of Darkness，這是一本1949年以前左派文人的評論集。

夏濟安先生所著《黑暗的閘門》（The Gate of Darkness）自1968年英文版問世以來，便在英文世界產生極大影響，成為中國左翼文學研究領域一本劃時代的傑作。儘管該書部分篇章曾翻譯成中文並以單篇論文形式發表，遺憾的是此後近半個世紀之久，中文讀者始終無緣窺其全貌。此次中文大學出版社對英文版全書重新翻譯，增錄夏濟安先生另一篇相關的重要論文，並邀請翻譯學研究專家王宏志教授對譯稿全文審訂，首次推出這本經典著作的完整中文版。本書細緻梳理文學與時代政治的糾纏，深入揭示左翼文學運動的兩難境地。書中所論作家包括魯迅、蔣光慈、左聯五烈士以及瞿秋白等人，他們都是1949年以前共產黨理念的同情者乃至實踐者。在1960年代國際上反共仇共的大環境中，夏濟安下筆敏銳痛快而不失同情，充滿耐心，既給左翼作家及其作品一個恰當公允的評價，更為他們身上的悲劇意義而深深歎息。
