Bassein examines the pervasive linkage between women's sexuality and death in Western thought and literature and concludes that there is no reasonable basis for much of it. She first explores how language reveals and reinforces the bond between women and death. She then discusses traditional Christianity as a vehicle for perpetuating this tie and demonstrates that negative attitudes and brutality associated with women find expression in otherwise commendable works of art. The author examines nineteenth- and twentieth-century fiction and poetry to show the different ways writers have handled women in sexual situations. Bassein concludes that tracing the origins and prevalence of the automatic association and seeking alternatives help us recognize the irrational and unconscious tendencies that are at the basis of stereotype formation and tacit acceptance of brutality.

殆どの人々が　地形の一部だと信じていた
どんな仕掛けがあるかなど　知っている者はいない
人工物なのか自然物なのかもわからない巨大な廟のある世界。
そこに突如現れた、ヒトの目では捉えられない速度で人間を食らい殺戮する、白い異形。
養殖場従業員、駆動電次は黒ガウナに変身して怪異に立ち向かう。
謎が謎を呼ぶダークハードSF。

Dreams and Stones is a small masterpiece, one of the most extraordinary works of literature to come out of Central and Eastern Europe since the fall of communism. In sculpted, poetic prose reminiscent of Bruno Schulz, it tells the story of the emergence of a great city. In Tulli’s hands myth, metaphor, history, and narrative are combined to magical effect. Dreams and Stones is about the growth of a city, and also about all cities; at the same time it is not about cities at all, but about how worlds are created, trans- formed, and lost through words alone. A stunning debut by one of Europe’s finest new writers.

Trust Dreams.
Trust your heart,
and trust your story. A renowned storyteller whose words have transported readers to magical realms and an acclaimed illustrator of lushly imagined fairy-tale landscapes guide a traveler safely through lands unknown and yet strangely familiar . . . . . . and home again.

Winner of the Hugo and Nebula Awards In order to develop a secure defense against a hostile alien race's next attack, government agencies breed child geniuses and train them as soldiers. A brilliant young boy, Andrew "Ender" Wiggin lives with his kind but distant parents, his sadistic brother Peter, and the person he loves more than anyone else, his sister Valentine. Peter and Valentine were candidates for the soldier-training program but didn't make the cut--young Ender is the Wiggin drafted to the orbiting Battle School for rigorous military training. Ender's skills make him a leader in school and respected in the Battle Room, where children play at mock battles in zero gravity. Yet growing up in an artificial community of young soldiers Ender suffers greatly from isolation, rivalry from his peers, pressure from the adult teachers, and an unsettling fear of the alien invaders. His psychological battles include loneliness, fear that he is becoming like the cruel brother he remembers, and fanning the flames of devotion to his beloved sister. Is Ender the general Earth needs? But Ender is not the only result of the genetic experiments. The war with the Buggers has been raging for a hundred years, and the quest for the perfect general has been underway for almost as long. Ender's two older siblings are every bit as unusual as he is, but in very different ways. Between the three of them lie the abilities to remake a world. If, that is, the world survives.

Richard Siken’s Crush, selected as this year’s winner of the Yale Younger Poets prize, is a powerful collection of poems driven by obsession. Siken writes with ferocity, and his reader hurtles unstoppably with him. His poetry is confessional, gay, savage, and charged with violent eroticism.
In her introduction to the book, competition judge Louise Glück hails the “cumulative, driving, apocalyptic power, [and] purgatorial recklessness” of Siken’s poems. She notes, “Books of this kind dream big. . . . They restore to poetry that sense of crucial moment and crucial utterance which may indeed be the great genius of the form.”

文学是可爱的。生活是好玩的。艺术是要有所牺牲的。
八十年代末，木心客居纽约时期，亦自他恢复写作、持续出书以来，纽约地面的大陆和台湾同行在异国谋饭之中，居然促成木心开讲“世界文学史”，忽忽长达五年的一场“文学的远征”——从1989年1月15日开课，到1994年1月9日最后一课，每位听课人轮流提供自家客厅，在座者有画家、舞蹈家、史家、雕刻家等等。
听课学生陈丹青说，“我们当年这样地胡闹一场，回想起来，近于荒谬的境界：没有注册，没有教室，没有课本，没有考试与证书，更没有赞助与课题费，不过是在纽约市皇后区、曼哈顿区、布鲁克林区的不同寓所中，团团坐拢来，听木心神聊。”
菜单开出来，大家选。从古希腊神话、新旧约，到诗经、楚辞，从中世纪欧洲文学，到二十世纪文学世界，东方西方通讲，知识灵感并作。其中听的听，讲的讲，“金句”纷披，兀自燃烧。“讲完后，一部文学史，重要的是我的观点。”木心说。古代，中世纪，近代，每个时代都能找到精神血统，艺术亲人。
他爱先秦典籍，只为诸子的文学才华；他以为今日所有伪君子身上，仍然活着孔丘；他想对他爱敬的尼采说：从哲学跑出来吧；他激赏拜伦、雪莱、海涅，却说他们其实不太会作诗；他说托尔斯泰可惜“头脑不行”，但讲到托翁坟头不设十字架，不设墓碑，忽而语音低弱了，颤声说：“伟大！”而谈及萨特的葬礼，木心脸色一正，引尼采的话：唯有戏子才能唤起群众巨大的兴奋。
木心开讲时六十二岁。多少民国书籍与读者，湮灭了。他的一生，密集伴随愈演愈烈的文化断层。他不肯断，而居然不曾断，这就是纽约世界文学史讲座潜藏的背景：在累累断层之间、之外、之后，木心始终将自己尽可能置于世界性的文学景观，倘若不是出走，这顽强而持久的挣扎，几乎濒于徒劳。
如今，听课学生陈丹青整理那五年那五册听课笔记，共八十五讲，逾四十万字，结集这本大书时，已不再将之仅仅看做“世界文学史讲座”。诚如木心所最早时设想的那样，这是他自己的“文学回忆录”，是一部“荒诞小说”，“在自己的身上，克服这个时代”。
这也是木心留给世界的礼物，文学的福音书。

Before WATCHMEN, Alan Moore made his debut in the U.S. comic book industry with the revitalization of the horror comic book THE SWAMP THING. His deconstruction of the classic monster stretched the creative boundaries of the medium and became one of the most spectacular series in comic book history.
In this second collection of the Swamp Thing hardcover featuring SAGA OF THE SWAMP THING #28-34 and SWAMP THING ANNUAL #2, the Earth Elemental says goodbye to the illusion of his own humanity after learning that he is 100 percent plant, meets a crew of benevolent alien invaders inspired by the classic swamp-based comic strip Pogo, and consummates his relationship with Abigail Arcane as only he could.
"Perhaps the brainiest and scariest horror narrative of the '80s." — ROLLING STONE
"The series offers another fine option for the adult horror-comic fan."
—THE WASHINGTON TIMES
"The best muck-encrusted monster in the best comics."
—Neil Gaiman in ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY

Before WATCHMEN, Alan Moore made his debut in the U.S. comic book industry with the revitalization of the horror comic book THE SWAMP THING. His deconstruction of the classic monster stretched the creative boundaries of the medium and became one of the most spectacular series in comic book history.
With modern-day issues explored against a backdrop of horror, SWAMP THING's stories became commentaries on environmental, political and social issues, unflinching in their relevance. SAGA OF THE SWAMP THING Book One collects issues #20-27 of this seminal series including the never-before-reprinted SAGA OF THE SWAMP THING #20, where Moore takes over as writer and concludes the previous storyline.
Book One begins with the story "The Anatomy Lesson," a haunting origin story that reshapes SWAMP THING mythology with terrifying revelations that begin a journey of discovery and adventure that will take him across the stars and beyond.
