Discover how Mount Tambora's catastrophic eruption plunged the world into darkness, altering the global climate and inspiring the likes of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. This remarkable story of disaster and survival is brought to life in a thrilling new illustrated novel from the award-winning author of The Mona Lisa Vanishes. The world was upside-down. The wind was fire. The sky was ash. The rain was rock. When Mount Tambora, a volcano on the edge of the Indonesian archipelago, erupted in April 1815, it was the largest explosion in recorded history. The land around Indonesia was a hellscape of fire and smoke. In the months and years that followed, the fallout--a cloud of impossibly fine ash-- spread through the atmosphere. It killed harvests on the other side of the world. It turned farmers into beggars and their children into orphans. It turned sunsets into molten nightmares. That same year, eighteen-year-old Mary Shelley fled England with poet Percy Shelley. While sheltering from the

From impossible locked-room murders to confounding missing person cases, the granddaughter and grandfather team ‘wea

本書深入追溯莎樂美的歷史淵源與聖經背景，從考古與傳說中尋找她真實的面貌，並橫跨繪畫、雕塑、文學、戲劇、音樂、舞蹈與電影等藝術領域，探討她如何成為西方文化中象徵「愛與毀滅」的經典形象。透過大師之作，呈現莎樂美如何在不同時代中被重塑與再現，是一本結合歷史考證與藝術賞析的跨領域研究之作。希羅底的女兒進來跳舞，使希律和同席的人都歡喜。王就對女子說，妳隨意向我求什麼，我必給妳。又對她起誓說，隨妳向我求什麼，就是我國的一半，我也必給妳。──「我願王立時把施洗約翰的頭放在盤子裡給我。」莎樂美說。貝諾佐．戈佐利〈莎樂美的舞蹈〉：文藝復興時期的戲劇性敘事與人物對比早期義大利文藝復興時期著名畫家貝諾佐．戈佐利（Benozzo Gozzoli, 1420-1407）以油畫〈三王行列〉和為佛羅倫斯梅迪契．里卡爾小教堂所作的一組壁畫而聞名。他於1461年創作了一幅〈莎樂美的舞蹈〉（The Dance of Salome）的油畫。此畫以莎樂美為中心人物，她在向希律獻舞，而這位王者是幾乎有些驚恐看著她的舞蹈，王后則坐在一旁；其他的人表情各異，顯示了不同的心態。作者特地將施洗者約翰的被殺安排在左邊的一個角落，使主題形成強烈的反差。整幅作品場面宏大，色彩濃烈，風格與中世紀的繪畫完全不同。莎樂美題材的文學傳承不僅是中世紀和文藝復興前後，就是19世紀、甚至20世紀的作家、藝術家，對莎樂美的傳說，也同樣會像早些年的藝術家一樣的熟知和感興趣。同樣也就不難理解，莎樂美的故事就很自然地會受到眾多作家的青睞，激發他們投入自己的情感來重現這一故事。布萊恩．派克（Brian Parker）在〈斯特林堡的「朱麗小姐」和莎樂美的傳說〉（Brian Parker： Strindberg’s Miss Julie and the Legend of Salome）中曾作過統計，說是至1912年，僅僅在法國，就難以置信地竟然有2,789位詩人、作家曾運用過莎樂美的故事作為他們創作的題材。當然，這些作品，大多都沒有流傳下來，如今所知的以此題材創作的最著名作家，主要有福樓拜（Gustave Flaubert）、馬拉美（Stéphane Mallarmé）、于斯曼（Joris-Karl Huysmans）等幾位。馬拉梅筆下的莎樂美：超越故事表層的美學追求雖然眾所周知，從中世紀到文藝復興時期，已有大量的繪畫再現過有關莎樂美的故事，但是

詩詞，是心靈的音符青花，是瓷器的水墨白地青花，間裝五色，為今古之冠。──明．沈德符作者以深厚的文化底蘊，帶領讀者走入詩詞與瓷藝交織的璀璨世界，解讀各式不同青花瓷的紋飾和造型。其中有貫穿古今的典故、東西文化的交會、伊斯蘭樣式的影響、歷史源流的演變，詩詞故事的敘說、獻禮祭祀的用器、佛教寶相花紋的隱喻、密教梵文的種子字、《易經》的天地之數等，埋藏其中的深意不一而足，值得細細品味思索。在逐步的推敲琢磨中，漸漸領略青花的詩意、藝術與風采，滿目繽紛而美不勝收。《青花宴》以詩意的筆觸賞析青花瓷的風華，六章如六道風景，各自鋪陳稀世珍品、瑞獸花鳥、歲月流光，串聯古詩意境與瓷器紋飾，讓讀者在閱讀中與千年前的工匠與詩人對話。這不僅是一本談青花瓷的書，更是一場穿越時間的文化盛宴。Step into a luminous world where poetry meets porcelain. This elegant volume invites readers on a lyrical journey through the Ming dynasty's finest blue and white ceramics—each chapter titled after a classical Chinese poem and interpreted through the lens of verse.With refined scholarship and poetic sensitivity, the author unveils how the spirit of ancient poems echoes in the form, motif, and glaze of porcelain masterpieces. A banquet of beauty and meaning awaits—where every vessel tells a story, and every poem reveals a hidden glaze of time.【本書特色】◎瓷器的收藏，作者認為不僅在於鑑識是否為到代的真品，還在於藝術上是否有可取之處、是否在器用之外別具詩意。一如徐悲鴻所言：「寧買假而似真，不買真而似假。」因此，更值得品味的，是青花瓷上展現的意境與祕境，此即本書意旨所在，這是一本市

本書以一隻與眾不同的撲滿小豬為主角，從一開始就打破「慢慢存錢」的傳統形象。Piggy 一心想快速達成存錢目標，四處搜刮零錢，沙發縫、口袋、洗衣籃，全都不放過，彷彿一台高速運轉的存錢機器。然而，急著前進的 Piggy 卻忘了最重要的事：耐心。他沒讀過撲滿使用手冊，也沒留意塞子是否放好，結果一路掉錢、目標落空。當忙碌與空虛同時出現，Piggy 才慢慢明白，真正的累積不是速度，而是持續與等待。本書以輕快的故事，帶出「慢慢來」的價值，讓孩子在笑聲中，理解存錢與成長其實很相似。Descended from a long line of patient, persistent savers, this piggy bank breaks the mold, flying in fast with a goal to gather cash. He's a supersonic saving machine! When his friends give him his first savings goal, Piggy hits the scene, rallying coins and cash in all the classic spots--from couch cushion to laundry pockets. Go pig or go home! But in his rush to save, Piggy leaves behind his stopper, and forgets to read The Official Bank Handbook, trailing the coins he's collected and failing to meet his savings goals. With his high-speed ways leaving him empty inside, Piggy must come to his cent-ces--reading the handbook, playing it cool, slowly saving, and paying with patience--if he ever wants to hit his goals and live up to the Bank name.

【別再說他們難溝通！解鎖 10-25 歲大腦的「驅動力」黑盒】為什麼有些年輕人面對批評就「玻璃心」，有些卻能越挫越勇？為什麼明明是「為他好」，卻總是換來一雙白眼？如果你以為這只是叛逆，那你就錯過了影響他們一生最關鍵的時機。史丹佛心理學大師、成長型思維權威大衛·耶格爾（David Yeager）震撼巨作。他透過神經科學證實：10 到 25 歲不是「麻煩期」，而是大腦對尊重與貢獻最為渴望的「超級學習期」。這本書將教你如何：➤從「管教者」進化為「輔導者」：停止無效說教，運用「高標準＋高支持」的導師心法。➤精準給予回饋：學會使用「耶格爾式便條紙」，讓你的批評變成他們成長的燃料。➤引爆內在動機：別再用獎金或處罰，教你如何觸動他們內心對地位與自我實現的渴望。「他們不是不聽話，而是不想聽『不尊重他們』的話。」無論你是正處於青春期戰場的父母、試圖帶動 Z 世代員工的主管，還是第一線的教育工作者，這本書都將為你揭開跨代溝通的科學真相。Acclaimed developmental psychologist David Yeager—who has worked alongside Angela Duckworth (Grit), Carol Dweck (Mindset), and Paul Tough (How Children Succeed)—reveals the new science of motivating young people ages ten through twenty-five in an illuminating and practical book that is a must-read for managers, parents, educators, coaches, and mentors everywhere.Imagine a world in which Gen Xers, millennials, and boomers interact with young people in ways that leave them feeling inspired, enthusiastic, and ready to contribute—rather than disengaged, outraged, or overwhelmed.

致所有在悲傷中掙扎的靈魂這是一部溫柔而深情的成長小說。23歲的她，在妹妹溺水身亡後被悲痛吞噬。她獨自來到紐約，卻在一個夜晚遇見一條奇異的「幽靈魚」，並堅信這就是她妹妹的歸來。她將幽靈魚養在玻璃罐中，小心翼翼地保護著，彷彿只要有它在，就不再孤單。但當她在新生活中逐漸成長，她必須面對一個問題：這條幽靈魚，究竟是妹妹的歸來，還是她用來逃避現實的幻象？《幽靈魚》是一部關於失落與療癒的動人故事。A tender coming-of-age novel about a young woman haunted by her sister's death, who starts to believe that her beloved sibling has returned to her--in the form of a ghost fish, for fans of Sweetbitter and Our Wives Under the Sea. Alison is mired in loneliness and grief. Freshly twenty-three and mourning the loss of her younger sister, who has drowned at sea, she's moved out of her hometown and into a cramped apartment on New York's Lower East Side. Now she's living the clich?-barely making rent as a restaurant hostess, avoiding her roommates, and watching the bright, busy passersby from her bubble of grief. She doesn't need originality; she just needs to be alive. So why does she feel she isn't truly living? Until late one night, when she rounds the corner and sees a shape in the air--a ghost. A

The inaugural collection of cartoons that introduced Tom Gauld's literary wit to the world now in paperback! "Precise and wryly hilarious...Gauld's both a literature nerd and a science-fiction nerd whose deadpan mashups belong on the same shelf as Kate Beaton."--NPR Drawn from Tom Gauld's popular comics feature in The Guardian, You're All Just Jealous of My Jetpack perfectly distills Gauld's dark humor, impeccable timing, and distinctive style. Classic strips like "The Bront?Sisters: The Videogame" and "The Serious Rock Critic" (who's written 32 books about Led Zeppelin) intermingle hilariously with piercing observations about politics and human behavior (see: "The Greedy Dog Stands on the Chair of Hope to Feast on the Sausage of Hubris") and whimsical imaginings of the future (see: "The 'Great Automaton Strike' of 2029 Saw the Birth of the Robot Protest Song"). Again and again, Gauld reaffirms his position as a first-rank cartoonist, creating work infused with a deep understanding of
