Orlando’s journey, from the court of Queen Elizabeth I to modern times will also be an internal one. He is an impulsive poet who learns patience in matters of the heart, and a woman who knows what it is to be a man. Virginia’s Woolf’s most unusual and fantastic creation is a funny, exuberant tale which examines the very nature of sexuality.

They live in a beautiful house, with a caring family, and attend an exclusive missionary school. They're completely shielded from the troubles of the world. Yet, as Kambili reveals in her tender-voiced account, things are less perfect than they appear. Although her Papa is generous and well respected, he is fanatically religious and tyrannical at home—a home that is silent and suffocating.<br /><br /> As the country begins to fall apart under a military coup, Kambili and Jaja are sent to their aunt, a university professor outside the city, where they discover a life beyond the confines of their father’s authority. Books cram the shelves, curry and nutmeg permeate the air, and their cousins’ laughter rings throughout the house. When they return home, tensions within the family escalate, and Kambili must find the strength to keep her loved ones together.<br /><br /><i>Purple Hibiscus</i> is an exquisite novel about the emotional turmoil of adolescence, the powerful bonds of family, and the bright promise of freedom.

无政府主义人类学碎片是作者从人类学的角度对无政府主义做的一个新诠释。格雷伯从人类学的历史出发，尝试勾划出人类学和无政府主义的关系，特别通过探讨实行平均主义的“原始社会”的权力架构、莫斯（Marcel Mauss）的礼物经济，以及他在马达加斯加的田野研究，为我们打开一个走出国家—市场局限的视野。格雷伯书中还探讨了全球化所引发的问题，以尝试建立一种基于无政府主义的“共识主义”，作为民主的新方向，强调人类学关于权力制衡方面的研究如何帮助我们重新看待乌托邦的梦想，以及怎样实现一个更美好的社会。这本书也是对人类学的批判：为何百多年来人类学家掌握了这些田野资料和人文志技巧，却不能为我们指出另一个方向？而这本书便是第一个这样的尝试。

李玉祥，这位二十多年前就脱离体制，默默从事田野工作的摄影家，性格内敛，内心却蕴藏着一种不易察觉的
坚韧和自信。他对生命有着独特的理解。二十多年中，他像一个朝圣者，用双脚撰写灵魂的史诗。他的青春始
终以色彩浓郁的乡土背景为衬托。他让我们看到了视力无法达到的远方景象，看到自己命运的边界并产生超越
它的妄想。那些常年隐于我们视线之外的乡民俚人，同样是生活于现代之中，与我们分享着同样的天空和阳光
。他们的价值不在于让现代人回到过去，更在于为文化多样性提供了生动的实例。使旅行者永不厌倦的，不是
文化形态的时间差，而是空间差。我们并不具有时间上的优先权，我们的同情心充其量只是滥用的施舍。他们
对民居村寨的精心建设、他们与自然环境的谐调关系，完全可以抵消现代生活阅历赋予我们的那点虚妄的优越

This book analyses the relationship between Peronism and the Argentine working class from the foundation of the Peronist movement in the mid 1940s to the overthrow of Peron's widow in 1976. It presents an account of such crucial issues as the role of the Peronist union bureaucracy and the impact of Peronist ideology on workers. Drawing on a variety of untapped sources, Daniel James confronts many of the dominant myths which have surrounded the movement. He argues that its role in containing working-class militancy cannot be explained solely in terms of manipulation, corruption or union gangsterism. The integration of Peronism into Argentine society has always been a complex and fragile operation, constantly undermined by the survival of the movement's original heretical content: its vision of a juster society in which the claim of the working class for a recognition of its social and political weight would be accepted.

佛教源于印度，而发扬光大却在中土。自东汉时输入，经诸多朝代之努力，将原为梵文（或巴利文）等古天竺文字的佛经译为汉语，并通过手工抄写到印刷技术之运用，终于使佛法深入人心，广大信众，同沾法益，此功德无量之善举前后持续了千年有余。特别是我国国民与天竺人民早有往来，其思想趋向也颇为接近，复经魏、晋、南北朝数百年与我国传统思想文化之相互激荡、磨合，乃至酝酿、吸收，至隋唐而大成，创宗立派，鼎盛繁荣，前所未有。影响所及，我国周遍朝鲜、日本、越南等邻邦亦多流行大乘佛法。以后，历经宋、元、明、清各代，我国始终为大乘佛教之重镇，有“佛教第二故乡”之誉。此殆与我国僧俗两界人士究心于佛法义理密切相关。
佛理探究，自古以来即有僧伽、居士之分，虽无“研究”之名，而出于信仰之诚，寻求佛教精义者，彪炳史册，所在多有。降及近世，因科技发展之刺激，佛法潮流，亦屡有扩张。自十九世纪德国学者马克斯·缪勒提出“宗教学”概念以来，欧美之宗教学研究方兴未艾。佛教，作为古老的宗教之一，海外研究也日见蓬勃，从东瀛至南亚，从德意志、法兰西至英吉利，于研究南传佛教圣典及历史文化方面卓有成效。尤其是在美利坚，自 C.R. 莱曼等创办《哈佛东方丛书》、奠定美国佛教研究基础以来，从地域上说，其研究范围已囊括南传佛教、印度佛教、中国佛教（包括藏传佛教）、东亚佛教，举凡教理、经典、仪式、经济、政治等无不涉及，成果斐然。目前已发展至巴利文、梵文及藏文，横跨文献学、社会学、人类学、哲学、伦理学、语言学、历史学等多门学科，在宗教学界已呈后来居上之势。就佛法源流而言，佛教从印度本土向南、北方向分别传播，菩萨高僧，筚路蓝缕，而成北传大乘、南传上座二极，于今因缘增上，不断发展，已趋于世界佛法之域，可谓千载一时也欤！
因此之故，时有台湾蓝吉富氏主编出版《世界佛学名著译丛》一百册，绍介国际佛教学术界之研究成果、研究方法与研究工具等，内容广泛，对于国内学界拓展学术视野，提升佛学研究水准，甚有裨益，可喜可贺！惜其著作多属近代，且以日文为主，时过境迁，欧美近代以后之佛学研究日新月异，相关成果不断涌现，将此类新知卓见译为汉语，嘉惠学林，已成迫切之势。
藉此因缘， 敝寺故有觉群编译馆之设立，集思广益，斟酌权衡，适时推出系列《觉群佛学译丛》， 实欲借古人译梵为汉之经验，取信、达、雅之准则，推陈出新，俾在家出家，两俱得益。佛法虽重在行持实证，佛经所说理趣，亦无不为求证生死大事之门径，若依文解义，理事分途，则徒成慧业，殊失佛法之宗旨。然此乃针对僧伽悟道而言，非指俗世传教之事，况时际浊世，佛法传扬端赖因缘，适应时会，则日以广信，僧伽寄质尘寰，岂可遗世而独立者乎！
倘能以此译丛为契机，重视我国古代传译之汉文圣典，探悉诸宗玄义，同时摄取世界各地区佛法之优长，融贯现代国际佛学界之研究成果，“他山之石，可以攻错”，深信国内会有更好的研究成绩出现，佛教亦将进一步充实与光大，余之愿也，因序之而随喜赞叹云尔！

作者认为，民主质量的好坏或民主制度的绩效，可以从公民社会的状况得到解释；如果某一个社会的民主运转出了问题，从根本上说，那一定是公民社会（公民意识、公民组织、公民行为等，总之是公民生活）发生了变化--例如，社区生活走向了衰落。帕特南加入到美国公民参与热情度降低、投票率下降的研究当中，他敏锐地感到，当初托克维尔所描述的美国社区生活正在逐渐衰落，那种喜好结社、喜欢过有组织的公民生活、关注公共话题、热心公益事业的美国人不见了；今天的美国人，似乎不再愿意把闲暇时间用在与邻居一起咖啡聊天，一起走进俱乐部去从事集体行动，而是宁愿一个人在家看电视，或者独自去打保龄球。于是，帕特南想到用"Bowling Alone"这个词来形容和概括美国社会的这一变化，并力求对这种变化的性质和原因做出理论解释。在他看来，"独自打保龄"的现象意味着美国社会资本的流逝，造成这种现象的原因可能是复杂而不易确定的，但后果却是明确的，那就是公民参与的衰落。

TAMPA by Alissa Nutting 是新锐女作家的一鸣惊人之作，堪称是纯文学对《格雷的五十道阴影》所做出的响应，去年底书稿推出即迅速卖出英国、德国、法国、意大利、西班牙、韩国、捷克等十国版权，描写一个 26 岁的已婚中学老师诱惑男学生的悖德故事。
《性教欲》是娜汀的首部长篇创作，她以二十六岁的中学英文教师赛莉丝为第一人称，生动刻划了这个女人勾引十四岁男孩的心路历程。年轻貌美的她并不乏人追求，甚至有个英俊而富有的警察老公（名叫福特），实在没什么好不满足的。
问题是，赛莉丝在十四岁之后遇到的男人都不如第一次跟她发生关系的男孩。为了「重温旧梦」，她决定想办法再现十四岁的性爱初体验：她将主修改成教育，毕业后从代课老师做起；为了避免其他男人的骚扰，她嫁给外在条件无可挑剔的福特，因为帅哥美女比较容易维持幸福婚姻的假象，可以降低被怀疑的风险。
透过精妙而嘲讽的文字，我们看到了赛莉丝的现实与妄想：那虚有其表的婚姻、英俊得不像真人的丈夫、上课上得很糟的老师，甚至在车上一边偷窥学生一边手淫的自己，都在她生动的比喻下莫名产生笑点，令人莞尔。然而正如作者所言：「幽默是悲伤的产物」，这些轻盈如泡泡的可笑事物和赛莉丝的美丽外表一样轻薄脆弱，戳破之后只剩一个女人所属的孤寂与空虚。

History of the Inca Realm, by Maria Rostworowski de Diez Canseco, is a classic work of ethnohistorical research which has been both influential and provocative in the field of Andean prehistory. Rostworowski uses a great variety of published and unpublished documents and secondary works by Latin American, North American, and European scholars in fields including history, ethnology, archaeology, and ecology, to examine topics such as the mythical origins of the Incas, the expansion of the Inca state, the organization of Inca society, including the political role of women, the vast trading networks of the coastal merchants, and the causes of the disintegration of the Inca state in the face of a small force of Spaniards. At each step, Dr Rostworowski presents her own views, clearly and forcefully, along with those of other scholars, providing her readers with varied evidence from which to draw their own conclusions.

A classic of reportage, "Oranges" was first conceived as a short magazine article about oranges and orange juice, but the author kept encountering so much irresistible information that he eventually found that he had in fact written a book. It contains sketches of orange growers, orange botanists, orange pickers, orange packers, early settlers on Florida's Indian River, the first orange barons, modern concentrate makers, and a fascinating profile of Ben Hill Griffin of Frostproof, Florida who may be the last of the individual orange barons. McPhee's astonishing book has an almost narrative progression, is immensely readable, and is frequently amusing. Louis XIV hung tapestries of oranges in the halls of Versailles, because oranges and orange trees were the symbols of his nature and his reign. This book, in a sense, is a tapestry of oranges, too--with elements in it that range from the great orangeries of European monarchs to a custom of people in the modern Caribbean who split oranges and clean floors with them, one half in each hand.

First published in 1965, A Sense of Where You Are is the literary equivalent of a harmonic convergence, a remarkable confluence of two talents--John McPhee and Bill Bradley--at the beginning of what would prove to be long and distinguished careers. While McPhee would blossom into one of the best nonfiction writers of the last 35 years, Bradley segued from an all-American basketball player at Princeton, to Rhodes Scholar, to NBA star, to three terms in the U.S. Senate. McPhee noticed greatness in Bradley from the start; the book is an extension of a lengthy magazine profile McPhee wrote early in Bradley's senior year; the title comes from Bradley always knowing his position in relation to the basket. What's so noteworthy about the book is the greatness it promised--both for writer and for subject, a greatness both have delivered through the years again and again.

本书共八章，由作者十年间研究宋金元货币政策之成果集结成书。本书探讨重点关注宋元发达、复杂的纸币运作制度。元代货币政策基本方针为专用纸币，从纸币是如何产生发展的，可一窥元朝货币政策的确立过程。作者目光远及前朝，追根溯源，从唐代始用票据为起点，关照分析了北宋正式发行暂用性质的纸币；南宋及金，由于多战的时代背景，两国都发行了大量纸币，成为全国通用的主要货币，构成元代货币政策、状况的诸要素已具备。至元，则不仅在华北专用中统钞，也力图在旧南宋领地推行统一纸币。
通过历朝运作纸币政策中出现的发行-通膨-崩溃这一规律循环，使用纸币与使用铜钱之消长，纸币推行之困难、利弊，其与贵重货币之间的相互影响等一系列问题的分析，展示了古代中国史上纸币的发展衰退过程。对于社会经济史、货币史研究之推动，对存世资料较少的金元时代之了解，其意义是不言而喻的。
