    Winner of the Europe Book PrizeOne of Europe’s most preeminent investigative journalists travels to the Czech Republic—the Czech half of the former Czechoslovakia, the land that brought us Kafka—to explore the surreal fictions and the extraordinary reality of its twentieth century.For example, there’s the story of the small businessman who adopted Henry Ford’s ideas on productivity to create the world’s largest shoe company—and hired modernist giants such as Le Corbusier to design his company towns (which were also the birthplaces of Ivana Trump and Tom Stoppard).Or the story of Kafka’s niece, who loaned her name to writers blacklisted under the Communist regime so they could keep publishing.Or the story of the singer Karel Gott, winner of the country’s Best Male Vocalist Award thirty-six years in a row, whose summer home,Gottland, is the Czech Dollywood.Based on meticulous research and hundreds of interviews with everyone from filmmakers to writers to pop stars to ordinary citizens,Gottlandis a kaleidoscopic portrait of a resilient people living through difficult and often bizarre times—equally funny, disturbing, stirring and absurd... in a word, Kafkaesque.

    The Parallax View is Slavoj Zizek's most substantial theoretical work to appear in many years; Zizek himself describes it as his magnum opus. Parallax can be defined as the apparent displacement of an object, caused by a change in observational position. Zizek is interested in the "parallax gap" separating two points between which no synthesis or mediation is possible, linked by an "impossible short circuit" of levels that can never meet. From this consideration of parallax, Zizek begins a rehabilitation of dialectical materialism.Modes of parallax can be seen in different domains of today's theory, from the wave-particle duality in quantum physics to the parallax of the unconscious in Freudian psychoanalysis between interpretations of the formation of the unconscious and theories of drives. In The Parallax View, Zizek, with his usual astonishing erudition, focuses on three main modes of parallax: the ontological difference, the ultimate parallax that conditions our very access to reality; the scientific parallax, the irreducible gap between the phenomenal experience of reality and its scientific explanation, which reaches its apogee in today's brain sciences (according to which "nobody is home" in the skull, just stacks of brain meat--a condition Zizek calls "the unbearable lightness of being no one"); and the political parallax, the social antagonism that allows for no common ground. Between his discussions of these three modes, Zizek offers interludes that deal with more specific topics--including an ethical act in a novel by Henry James and anti-anti-Semitism.The Parallax View not only expands Zizek's Lacanian-Hegelian approach to new domains (notably cognitive brain sciences) but also provides the systematic exposition of the conceptual framework that underlies his entire work. Philosophical and theological analysis, detailed readings of literature, cinema, and music coexist with lively anecdotes and obscene jokes.

    Almost ten years have passed since Karl Ove’s father drank himself to death. Vulnerable and assailed by doubts, he is now embarking on a new novel. With an uncanny eye for detail, Knausgaard breaks down his own life story into its elementary particles, reliving memories, reopening wounds, and examining with candor the turbulence and the epiphanies that emerge from his own experience of fatherhood, the fallout in the wake of his father’s death, and his visceral connection to music, art, and literature. Negotiating intimacy, love, and fear lie at the heart of his movements and mind as he moves from self- deprecation to self-absorption, from craving solitude to exposing an insatiable need for love and admiration, from alienation to harmony. Karl Ove’s dilemmas strike nerves that give us raw glimpses of our particular moment in history as we witness what happens to the sensitive and churning mind of a young man trying – as if his very life depended on it – to find his place in the disjointed world around him. This Proustian masterpiece opens a window into one of the most original minds writing today.

    Andy Warhol kept these diaries faithfully from November 1976 right up to his final week, in February 1987. Written at the height of his fame and success, Warhol records the fun of an Academy Awards party, nights out at Studio 54, trips between London, Paris and New York, and surprisingly even the money he spent each day, down to the cent. With appearances from and references to everyone who was anyone, from Jim Morrison, Martina Navratilova and Calvin Klein to Shirley Bassey, Estee Lauder and Muhammad Ali, these diaries are the most glamorous, witty and revealing writings of the twentieth century.

    Ever since its first publication in 1992,  The End of History and the Last Man  has provoked controversy and debate. Francis Fukuyama's prescient analysis of religious fundamentalism, politics, scientific progress, ethical codes, and war is as essential for a world fighting fundamentalist terrorists as it was for the end of the Cold War. Now updated with a new afterword,  The End of History and the Last Man  is a modern classic.

    在德勒兹打开的蔓生之地,尧波开始了日常生活中的艺术实践。本书是我读过的最能激发人的创造潜能的书,它可以帮助我们不再作为景观社会的俘虏来看待陶艺,而是以参与者的角度进入各自的生成活动之中。这意味者纯粹视觉展示的时代结束,未来艺术正在形成。
——Christopher Connery 加州大学圣克鲁斯分校人文学院教授
尧波集七年心血写成了《制陶术的生成》,她将她所涉及的学术命题的人文、历史、传统的深究都聚合在反思的思辨中,也将她踏踏实实用身心体验的生成、微变、形色等细节,都倾写进书中。本书对所有探求艺术真知的人必有启示。
——周昌全,国家一级美术师
本书是由水土风火人五个元素构成的异质的共同体。作者从制陶女的视角,用手感知泥土的性格,通过火捕获变化的瞬间,这种匠心独道体现的具体美学,唤醒了普通物质的精神维度,谱写了一首复调的宇宙迭奏曲。本书首次尝试将克里斯蒂娃的诗学从语言领域向非语言的人类具体实践扩展,呈现了一个制 陶术动态的意义生产场所,远离了那些约定俗成的陶瓷史的研究视野。本书也是一次“无学科” 运思在教育体制中的教学实践;更是一次“生成女人”的日常生活中的艺术实践。 作者期望这个不合时宜的嗓音,能够被沉溺于消费社会的人们听到,有助于他们以自己的方式去创造各自不同的日常生活。

    充滿70年代熱情的「夢幻名著」 研究日本戰後寫真史必讀經典
什麼是攝影?什麼是拍照?什麼是攝影家?
活躍於攝影最前線的兩位鬼才
日本女體寫真第一人篠山紀信╳森山大道最愛宿敵中平卓馬
以「影像」與「論述」進行唇槍舌戰的「決鬥寫真論」!
◎引領戰後日本攝影發展方向的重要舵手,大師們最愛的評論家
中平卓馬是日本戰後的重要攝影家兼評論家,1968年他創辦攝影雜誌《挑釁》(Provoke),重新界定日本現代攝影的方向,而且撼動、顛覆了當時奉精準、唯美為圭臬的主流攝影美學標準,造成轟動。他的攝影作品與評論受到荒木經惟、森山大道等重量級大師的推崇,森山大道曾在自傳中說到「我最愛的宿敵是中平卓馬」「讓我深受刺激的攝影論是中平卓馬寫的」,連當代攝影評論家、《deja-vu》雜誌總編輯飯澤耕太郎也說:「中平是日本60年代末到70年代中期的權威攝影家暨批評家,他的話語很有力量,對我影響甚多。」
◎洗鍊的文字+百餘幅魅力照片,兩位鬼才聯手打造「夢幻名著」
1976年,知名攝影雜誌《朝日相機》,邀請中平卓馬和聲勢如日中天的攝影家篠山紀信合開專欄,由筱山的攝影作品和引言開頭,中平穿透鏡頭深入攝影者內心世界的攝影論述〈決鬥寫真論〉於焉誕生。一年中,兩人透過家、晴天、寺、市區、旅途、印度、工作、風、妻子、平日、插曲、巴黎與明星這13個主題,對「攝影是什麼?」「攝影的行為是什麼?」「攝影家又是什麼?」等相關議題進行深入的探討與思索。中平赤裸、尖銳且深刻的質問評析,帶給時下文青及藝術工作者前所未有的強烈撞擊:
◎沒有創造任何影像,反而能呼應世界與現實;不曾擁有任何先驗影像,才將世界以世界顯現。
◎攝影只是將日常事物靜靜放置在一定的距離之外,向我們提示它們原本的形體。
◎當事物開始訴說除了單純的事物以外,什麼也不是的事實──那就是事物對人類反動的開始。
◎只有在對著「世界」萌生願意接受事物的原有樣貌以及它反射回來的敵意視線時,才能讓攝影家按下快門。
◎把不認識的人都當成熟人,把熟人當成如同不認識的人,凝視「世界」與「私」,觀察他們。
◎攝影所擁有的是只有攝影才能擁有的魔術,是把所有的想像和妄想強制拖引出來的觸媒;攝影——是時間的陷沒。
◎當事物的細節都達到極限,而被鮮明捕捉時,幻想和幻視就在它的對岸浮現;唯有到達視覺邊界的那一刻,才是幻想領域浮出的瞬間,才開始私的解體。
◎攝影總是背叛它的「作者」的攝影家意識,將超越意識的世界刺向攝影家,這種偏差是無法替代的。
◎一旦世界、事物開始說話時,攝影家就從攝影的內側安靜地消失。
◎ 攝影並非消去現實的擬態,是根據再一次返回原本的現實,而對現實的總體提出問號。
◎一切焦點清晰,意義的背後,就是一片的曖昧,是堅定支撐意義的背景的欠落。
◎篠山紀信強硬地拉扯事物,然後在最緊張的時刻放手,就是抗拒我們通常給予現實的意義,然後重新賦予我們自己私的意義。
◎一個攝影家可以完成的事,只有繼續對世界、對現實提出質疑,「為什麼」?但是攝影家絕對無法獨自回答這個提問,因為擁有這個問題解答的並不是我們,而是世界。……
長達一年的連載,好評不斷,隔年立即出版成書,是當時重要的攝影評論集。三十五年後,被譽為充滿70年代熱情的「夢幻名著」,了解戰後日本攝影發展的重要經典,在策展人/藝評者黃亞紀(中平在台首次展出的策展人)及「source系列」主編平面設計師王志弘聯手下,全球唯一中文版在台復活。

Bryan Stevenson was a young lawyer when he founded the Equal Justice Initiative, a legal practice dedicated to defending those most desperate and in need: the poor, the wrongly condemned, and women and children trapped in the farthest reaches of our criminal justice system. One of his first cases was that of Walter McMillian, a young man who was sentenced to die for a notorious murder he insisted he didn’t commit. The case drew Bryan into a tangle of conspiracy, political machination, and legal brinksmanship—and transformed his understanding of mercy and justice forever.
Just Mercy is at once an unforgettable account of an idealistic, gifted young lawyer’s coming of age, a moving window into the lives of those he has defended, and an inspiring argument for compassion in the pursuit of true justice.
Praise for Just Mercy
“A searing, moving and infuriating memoir . . . Bryan Stevenson may, indeed, be America’s Mandela. For decades he has fought judges, prosecutors and police on behalf of those who are impoverished, black or both. . . . Injustice is easy not to notice when it affects people different from ourselves; that helps explain the obliviousness of our own generation to inequity today. We need to wake up. And that is why we need a Mandela in this country.”—Nicholas Kristof, The New York Times
“Unfairness in the justice system is a major theme of our age. . . . This book brings new life to the story by placing it in two affecting contexts: [Bryan] Stevenson’s life work and the deep strain of racial injustice in American life. . . . The book extols not his nobility but that of the cause, and reads like a call to action for all that remains to be done. . . . The message of the book, hammered home by dramatic examples of one man’s refusal to sit quietly and countenance horror, is that evil can be overcome, a difference can be made. Just Mercy will make you upset and it will make you hopeful.”—Ted Conover, The New York Times Book Review
“Emotionally profound, necessary reading.”—Kirkus Reviews (starred review, Kirkus Prize Finalist)
“A passionate account of the ways our nation thwarts justice and inhumanely punishes the poor and disadvantaged.”—Booklist (starred review)
“Not since Atticus Finch has a fearless and committed lawyer made such a difference in the American South. Though larger than life, Atticus exists only in fiction. Bryan Stevenson, however, is very much alive and doing God’s work fighting for the poor, the oppressed, the voiceless, the vulnerable, the outcast, and those with no hope. Just Mercy is his inspiring and powerful story.”—John Grisham
“From the frontlines of social justice comes one of the most urgent voices of our era. Bryan Stevenson is a real-life, modern-day Atticus Finch who, through his work in redeeming innocent people condemned to death, has sought to redeem the country itself. This is a book of great power and courage. It is inspiring and suspenseful—a revelation.”—Isabel Wilkerson, author of The Warmth of Other Suns
“Bryan Stevenson is one of my personal heroes, perhaps the most inspiring and influential crusader for justice alive today, and Just Mercy is extraordinary.”—Michelle Alexander, author of The New Jim Crow

This book brings new life to the story by placing it in two affecting contexts: [Bryan] Stevenson’s life work and the deep strain of racial injustice in American life. . . . You don’t have to read too long to start cheering for this man. Against tremendous odds, Stevenson has worked to free scores of people from wrongful or excessive punishment, arguing five times before the Supreme Court. . . . The book extols not his nobility but that of the cause, and reads like a call to action for all that remains to be done. . . . The message of the book, hammered home by dramatic examples of one man’s refusal to sit quietly and countenance horror, is that evil can be overcome, a difference can be made. Just Mercy will make you upset and it will make you hopeful. . . . Stevenson has been angry about [the criminal justice system] for years, and we are all the better for it.”—Ted Conover, The New York Times Book Review

“Bryan Stevenson is America’s young Nelson Mandela, a brilliant lawyer fighting with courage and conviction to guarantee justice for all. Just Mercy should be read by people of conscience in every civilized country in the world to discover what happens when revenge and retribution replace justice and mercy. It is as gripping to read as any legal thriller, and what hangs in the balance is nothing less than the soul of a great nation.”—Desmond Tutu, Nobel Peace Prize Laureate

    A biologist reveals the secret world hidden in a single square meter of forest.   In this wholly original book, biologist David Haskell uses a one- square-meter patch of old-growth Tennessee forest as a window onto the entire natural world. Visiting it almost daily for one year to trace nature's path through the seasons, he brings the forest and its inhabitants to vivid life.   Each of this book's short chapters begins with a simple observation: a salamander scuttling across the leaf litter; the first blossom of spring wildflowers. From these, Haskell spins a brilliant web of biology and ecology, explaining the science that binds together the tiniest microbes and the largest mammals and describing the ecosystems that have cycled for thousands- sometimes millions-of years. Each visit to the forest presents a nature story in miniature as Haskell elegantly teases out the intricate relationships that order the creatures and plants that call it home.  Written with remarkable grace and empathy, "The Forest Unseen" is a grand tour of nature in all its profundity. Haskell is a perfect guide into the world that exists beneath our feet and beyond our backyards.
