【内容简介】
时间永远只有一个方向
时间不回流
而渐渐地
有些候鸟
像时间
也不再飞回自己的旧巢了
《织巢》是西西自传体小说《候鸟》的姊妹篇。继《候鸟》之后，在《织巢》中西西的家族故事得到延续，小说讲述了一家人在香港陌生的新环境中艰辛坚韧、守望相助的生活。它也是一个爱情故事，不过是广义的。作者分别用“姐姐素素”“妹妹妍妍”的口吻叙述，并编织糅合进母亲1960年代书写的自传小说、来自内地二姨的家书，用四种不同的女性视角将两代亲人间的家族故事细腻讲述。漂泊各地的亲人于离散后各自生活，重新筑巢成家。从二十世纪五十年代到九十年代，从这一普通市民家庭生活中，亦可看到香港历史的变迁。
【西西】《织巢》是《候鸟》的姊妹篇，也是一个爱情故事，不过是广义的。
这是个吵闹撕裂的年代，
大家说话时仿佛都要提高嗓门，声嘶力竭，
要证明关心社会，而如此这样的一套才能够改进社会。
我想，生活是否只容许一种模式？
我们又能否冷静下来，平实地说，耐心地听呢？
【编辑推荐】
☼莫言、余华、王安忆、梁文道推崇备至的香港作家——西西，耄耋之年重磅新作！
【莫言】西西是我的老朋友和老师，她对我的帮助很大。
【王安忆】西西是香港的说梦人。
【余华】她告诉你的似乎都是你所知道的，可听完以后你又觉得和你知道的不一样。这就是西西的写作方式。在西西那里，事实所展示的只是其存在而已，注视事实的目光才具价值可言。
【梁文道】曾经有一段日子，每有人问起，香港有文学吗？香港有了不起的小说家吗？我就说：“有，西西。”……西西是香港最有代表性的作家之一，我认为她是作家中的作家。
【马世芳】她写战争、死亡、贫穷、老病，也带着一副柔软的心肠，和一双洞烛人世、然而始终好奇的眼。
【连明伟】有所取舍，故有所得失，唯有透过心的沉淀与安定，才能孕育温柔。这是作家西西在回溯生命历程之际，希望让人看见的，一种珍贵日常所获得的凭依感。

Marianne Dashwood wears her heart on her sleeve, and when she falls in love with the dashing but unsuitable John Willoughby she ignores her sister Elinor's warning that her impulsive behaviour leaves her open to gossip and innuendo. Meanwhile Elinor, always sensitive to social convention, is struggling to conceal her own romantic disappointment, even from those closest to her. Through their parallel experience of love—and its threatened loss—the sisters learn that sense must mix with sensibility if they are to find personal happiness in a society where status and money govern the rules of love.
This edition includes explanatory notes, textual variants between the first and second editions, and Tony Tanner's introduction to the original Penguin Classic edition.

The first novel of Ursula K. Le Guin's must-read Earthsea Cycle. "The magic of Earthsea is primal; the lessons of Earthsea remain as potent, as wise, and as necessary as anyone could dream." (Neil Gaiman)Ged was the greatest sorcerer in Earthsea, but in his youth he was the reckless Sparrowhawk. In his hunger for power and knowledge, he tampered with long-held secrets and loosed a terrible shadow upon the world.This is the tumultuous tale of his testing, how he mastered the mighty words of power, tamed an ancient dragon, and crossed death's threshold to restore the balance.With stories as perennial and universally beloved as The Chronicles of Narnia and The Lord of The Rings--but also unlike anything but themselves--Ursula K. Le Guin's Earthsea novels are some of the most acclaimed and awarded works in literature. They have received accolades such as the National Book Award, a Newbery Honor, the Nebula Award, and many more honors, commemorating their enduring place in the hearts and minds of readers and the literary world alike.Join the millions of fantasy readers who have explored these lands. As The Guardian put it: "Ursula Le Guin's world of Earthsea is a tangled skein of tiny islands cast on a vast sea. The islands' names pull at my heart like no others: Roke, Perilane, Osskil . . ."The Earthsea Cycle includes: A Wizard of EarthseaThe Tombs of AtuanThe Farthest ShoreTehanuTales from EarthseaThe Other Wind

WHEN YOUNG TENAR is chosen as high priestess to the ancient and nameless Powers of the Earth, everything is taken away -- home, family, possessions, even her name. For she is now Arha, the Eaten One, guardian of the ominous Tombs of Atuan. While she is learning her way through the dark labyrinth, a young wizard, Ged, comes to steal the Tombs' greatest hidden treasure, the Ring of Erreth-Akbe. But Ged also brings with him the light of magic, and together, he and Tenar escape from the darkness that has become her domain. With millions of copies sold, Ursula K. Le Guin's Earthsea Cycle has earned a treasured place on the shelves of fantasy lovers everywhere. Complex, innovative, and deeply moral, this quintessential fantasy sequence has been compared with the work of J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis, and has helped make Le Guin one of the most distinguished fantasy and science fiction writers of all time. She lives in Portland, Oregon.

<b>A young woman pretends to be someone she isn't in this stunning novel by the <i>New York Times </i>bestselling author of <i>The Girls</i>.</b><br /><br />Summer is coming to a close on the East End of Long Island, and Alex is no longer welcome.<br /><br />A misstep at a dinner party, and the older man she's been staying with dismisses her with a ride to the train station and a ticket back to the city.<br /><br />With few resources and a waterlogged phone, but gifted with an ability to navigate the desires of others, Alex stays on Long Island and drifts like a ghost through the hedged lanes, gated driveways, and sun-blasted dunes of a rarified world that is, at first, closed to her. Propelled by desperation and a mutable sense of morality, she spends the week leading up to Labor Day moving from one place to the next, a cipher leaving destruction in her wake.<br /><br />Taut, propulsive, and impossible to look away from, Emma Cline's <i>The Guest </i>is a spellbinding literary achievement.

"Elena Ferrante will blow you away."-Alice Sebold, author of The Lovely Bones From the author of The Days of Abandonment, The Lost Daughter is Elena Ferrante's most compelling and perceptive meditation on womanhood and motherhood yet. Leda, a middle-aged divorce, is alone for the first time in years when her daughters leave home to live with their father. Her initial, unexpected sense of liberty turns to ferocious introspection following a seemingly trivial occurrence. Ferrante's language is as finely tuned and intense as ever, and she treats her theme with a fierce, candid tenacity.
