The Rings of Saturn, W.G. Sebald's most recent novel, has been an international sensation. Its ten strange and beautiful chapters, with their curious archive of photographs, consider dreams and reality. A fictional account of a walking tour through England's East Anglia, Sebald's home for more than twenty years, The Rings of Saturn explores Britain's pastoral and imperial past. On his pilgrimage a company of ghosts, like conductors between the past and present, keep him company: Thomas Browne, Swinburne, Chateaubriand, Borges. Sebald tells of far-off China and the introduction of the silk industry to Norwich. He visits the godforsaken harbor where Conrad first set foot on English soil, and the site of the once-great city of Dunwich, now sunk in the sea, where schools of herring swim. The author hears of the furious coastal battles of two world wars and meets lonely eccentrics inhabiting tumble-down mansions. And as Sebald catalogs the transmigration of whole worlds, the mesmerized reader is led along, viewing with him survival and memories, change and oblivion.

When he finds an acceptable home and makes a decision to stay with the Voices that inhabit it, Tom Jones, a Cat-about-Town, becomes a Gentleman Cat and in time evolves into a genuine Fur Person, in a new gift edition of the classc tale for cat lovers.

Every time we choose a route to work, decide whether to go on a second date, or set aside money for a rainy day, we are making a prediction about the future. Yet from the financial crisis to ecological disasters, we routinely fail to foresee hugely significant events, often at great cost to society. In "The Signal and the Noise", the "New York Times" political forecaster Nate Silver, who accurately predicted the results of every single state in the 2012 US election, reveals how we can all develop better foresight in an uncertain world. From the stock market to the poker table, from earthquakes to the economy, he takes us on an enthralling insider's tour of the high-stakes world of forecasting, showing how we can use information in a smarter way amid a noise of data - and make better predictions in our own lives.

谁愿意遭受布拉格那样的命运？每个人都渴望冲破缠绕着这座城市的忧郁气息。
布拉格，欧洲神秘之都。这座被喻为“诱人的女妖”、“放荡的女人”和“邪恶的女巫”的城市，在可爱魅人中又具有一种撩拨人心的邪气。历史上深陷于抑郁、妄想和宫廷斗争之中的著名君主鲁道夫以及围绕他的众多占星者、炼金术士、魔术师和艺术家的惊心动魄的生平故事，将其神秘、荒诞且充满幻想的氛围延伸至今。在破坏和占领的“洪水”中，在混乱的迷雾中，布拉格展露出它夺人心魄的美。

The Gulag—a vast array of Soviet concentration camps that held millions of political and criminal prisoners—was a system of repression and punishment that terrorized the entire society, embodying the worst tendencies of Soviet communism. In this magisterial and acclaimed history, Anne Applebaum offers the first fully documented portrait of the Gulag, from its origins in the Russian Revolution, through its expansion under Stalin, to its collapse in the era of glasnost. Applebaum intimately re-creates what life was like in the camps and links them to the larger history of the Soviet Union. Immediately recognized as a landmark and long-overdue work of scholarship, Gulag is an essential book for anyone who wishes to understand the history of the twentieth century.

唐之后，唯此一人而已

The acclaimed biography of Alexander the Great.

This definitive poetry collection, originally published in 1954 to honor Stevens on his 75th birthday, contains: - andquot; Harmoniumandquot; - andquot; Ideas of Orderandquot; - andquot; The Man With the Blue Guitarandquot; - andquot; Parts of the Worldandquot; - andquot; Transport Summerandquot; - andquot; The Auroras of Autumnandquot; - andquot; The Rockandquot;

Presenting her breathtaking photographs alongside interviews with those who knew her best, this volume is the first attempt to put Vivian Maier’s work in context and create a moving portrait of her as an artist. Though she created more than 10,000 negatives during her lifetime, only a few of them were ever seen by others. Shortly after her death in 2009, the first group of her unseen photographs—gritty with humanity and filled with empathy and beauty—were shown online. What followed was a firestorm of attention, catapulting Maier from previous obscurity to being labeled as one of the masters of street photography. Her work has appeared in numerous museum exhibits and a feature-length documentary on her life and art has already been planned. Features 275 black and white photos on heavy gloss paper.

*简体中文完整版
*捷克作家伊凡·克里玛思考威权与民主的思想杰作。“因为我创造，所以我反抗死亡。我建立一座比铜还持久的纪念碑。”
*一座充满悖谬与磨难终究寻获自由的城市，一个由卡夫卡、哈谢克、哈维尔建立的精神家园。
*“我花了相当时间才完全明白，通常并不是善与恶的力量在互相战斗，而仅仅是两种不同的恶的力量，它们在比赛谁能控制世界。”
*“文学并不是必须四处搜寻政治现实，或者为更换来更换去的制度担忧，它可以超越它们，同时仍然去回答制度在人们中间引起的问题。这就是我从卡夫卡中引出的最重要的教导。”
“对布拉格的精神和面貌最具影响力的不是自由，而是不自由，是生活的奴役，是许多耻辱的失败和野蛮的军事占领。世纪之交的布拉格已不再存在，那些记得这个时期的人也不再存在。犹太人被杀害，德国人被流放，许多伟大人物被驱逐后散居在世界各地，小店铺和咖啡馆关闭：这就是布拉格带给新世纪的遗产。
如果布拉格还仍然存在，还没有失去它的魅力或美，那是因为它非常结实，像它的人民一样，一直坚持他们不屈不挠的精神。”
《布拉格精神》是捷克作家伊凡·克里玛著名评论集，收录了他为《格兰塔》写作却无法在捷克国内发表的文章，以及90年代在国际文学会议上的演讲内容，首次出版即为英文版。作品分为五个部分，包括克里玛在集中营度过的童年，对捷克历史上几个重要转折点的评论，以及1968、1989年前后社会环境与思想上的变化。在同名文章《布拉格精神》中，克里玛描述了这座由卡夫卡、哈谢克、哈维尔等人建立起来的精神家园，它“悖谬”、文化丰富、屡经灾难却始终乐观。在菲利普·罗斯和他的对话录《重返布拉格》中，克里玛谈论了当代捷克知识界对瓦茨拉夫·哈维尔和米兰·昆德拉这两位享有国际盛誉的作家的看法。最后一个部分《刀剑在逼近》详细分析了卡夫卡的人生、作品与书中人物，是克里玛对卡夫卡的精彩评传。

丧葬仪式或被当作是人生结束之际的告别典礼，丧服和丧葬礼制体现人际关系和某些人生观的根本理念，可以认为是构建中国古代社会的基础之一，此项研究的意义早已超过了其本身，而与国家政治、社会习俗的方方面面发生着千丝万缕的联系。
本书在前人研究和已复原唐朝《丧葬令》基础上，对丧葬礼制本身展开探讨。考虑到唐朝社会以皇帝和官僚为中心的特点，全书以讨论皇帝和官僚丧礼为主而更多围绕中晚唐制度进行，并力求对制度的渊源和发展脉络进行追踪。上编为皇帝（附后、太子）葬礼制度或言《国恤》的沿革以及丧葬礼的举办，分为上、下两个单元；下编一是丧葬礼令关系、与官员丧葬法式的探讨，二是官员葬礼和相关待遇的专题研究，分为上、中、下三个单元，内容所及主要是与《天圣令》和唐令有关的一些发现。
