Written by Neil Gaiman; Art by P.

The Sandman Vol. 2 豆瓣
9.6 (5 个评分) 作者: [英国] 尼尔·盖曼 Vertigo 1991
The immense popularity of Neil Gaiman's Sandman series is due in large part to the development of his characters. In The Doll's House, the second book of the Sandman magnum opus, Gaiman continues to build the foundation for the larger story, introducing us to more of the Dream King's family of the Endless.

The Sandman returns to his kingdom of the Dreaming after nearly a century of imprisonment, finding several things out of place; most importantly, an anomaly called a dream vortex has manifested itself in the form of a young girl who unknowingly threatens to rip apart the Dreaming. And there's the smaller matter of a few nightmares having escaped. Among them is Gaiman's creepiest creation: the Corinthian, a serial killer with a miniature set of teeth in each eye socket. Because later volumes concentrate so much on human relationships with Gaiman's signature fair for fantasy and mythology, it is sometimes easy to forget that the Sandman series started out as a horror comic. This book grabs you and doesn't let you forget that so easily.

He must leave the warmth, safety, and companionship of The Burrow and follow without fear or hesitation the inexorable path laid out for him.
In this final, seventh installment of the Harry Potter series, J.K. Rowling unveils in spectacular fashion the answers to the many questions that have been so eagerly awaited. The spellbinding, richly woven narrative, which plunges, twists and turns at a breathtaking pace, confirms the author as a mistress of storytelling, whose books will be read, reread and read again.
Harry is waiting in Privet Drive. The Order of the Phoenix is coming to escort him safely away without Voldemort and his supporters knowing – if they can. But what will Harry do then? How can he fulfil the momentous and seemingly impossible task that Professor Dumbledore has left him with?

作者: J. K. Rowling Arthur A. Levine Books 2003 - 11
A special library binding for the Harry Potter series.《哈利·波特与魔法石》的创作灵感产生于乔安娜·凯瑟琳·罗琳1990年从曼彻斯特到伦敦的一次火车旅行中。罗琳开始这部小说的创作时,已经是一个女婴的单身母亲了,仅靠着苏格兰爱丁堡的福利金生活。每天在婴儿杰西卡睡着后,她就到一家咖啡馆写作。不久,她便大获成功,名利双收。开始,她从英国出版商布路姆斯伯利公司那里仅拿到了2500英镑(约合3500美元)的预付金,而后一跃成了英国最富有的女人之一。她的第一部书最初起名为《哈利·波特与哲学家的石头》(这部书的美国出版商害怕哲学家一词会吓跑小读者们,于是更名为《哈利·波特与魔法石》)。这部书在英国好评如潮,荣获了“英国国家图书奖最佳儿童读物”和“史马蒂图书金奖”。评论家把她与罗尔德·戴尔、C·S·刘易斯以及J·R·R。托尔金等经典的儿童作家相提并论,他们也是从神话与传奇中汲取奇异的要素来讲述传统的历险故事。
《哈利·波特与哲学家的石头》在英国出版后不久,斯柯拉斯蒂克出版社的主编亚瑟·莱弗恩就以105 000美元的天价买下了这部书的美国版权,这笔钱使得罗琳可以辞掉她教书的工作而全身心地投入到她的创作中。《哈利·波特与魔法石》在美国出版后,几乎瞬间成了一个出版大热门,连续几个月一直高居《纽约时报》的畅销书榜首。
