  • The Cure for Dreaming

    The Cure for Dreaming

    英文图书Cat Winters
    Winters breathes new life into history once again with an atmospheric, vividly real story that includes archival photos and art from the period. Olivia Mead is a headstrong, independent girl -a suffragist -in an age that prefers its females to be docile. It's 1900 in Oregon, and Olivia's father, concerned that she's headed for trouble, convinces a stage mesmerist to try to hypnotize the rebellion out of her. But the hypnotist, an intriguing young man named Henri Reverie, gives her a terrible gift instead: she's able to see people's true natures, manifesting as visions of darkness and goodness, while also unable to speak her true thoughts out loud. These supernatural challenges only make Olivia more determined to speak her mind, and so she's drawn into a dangerous relationship with the hypnotist and his mysterious motives, all while secretly fighting for the rights of women.
  • Spire

    Spire

    英文图书Faber & Faber
    This title comes with an introduction by John Mullen. Dean Jocelin has a vision: that God has chosen him to erect a great spire on his cathedral. His mason anxiously advises against it, for the old cathedral was built without foundations. Nevertheless, the spire rises octagon upon octagon, pinnacle by pinnacle, until the stone pillars shriek and the ground beneath it swims. Its shadow falls ever darker on the world below, and on Dean Jocelin in particular. From the author of Lord of the Flies, The Spire is a dark and powerful portrait of one man's will, and the folly that he creates. "e;Quite simply, a marvel"e;. (Frank Kermode, New York Review of Books). "e;Superb…The book should become a classic"e;. (Sunday Telegraph). "e;An engrossing story"e;. (New York Times Book Review).
  • Camp Pleasant

    Camp Pleasant

    英文图书Rosetta
    This short novel that is told with almost fable-like simplicity: Matt Harper is a first-time counselor at a boy's summer camp when he witnesses a casual brutality that leads to murder. The bullying, gluttonous headman Ed Nolan (who has "reduced Camp Pleasant to a microcosm of the Third Reich") is portrayed as one stereotype that the reader is not sorry to see killed off. Instead, all of our sympathy is reserved for the possible suspects: Merv Loomis, the homosexual counselor Nolan humiliates into quitting; the troubled ten-year-old Tony Rocca; Nolan's meek wife, Ellen; and several others. The setting and tone have the distinct feel of the early 1950s, but a casual reference to actress Catherine Deneuve places the action in the mid-60s or later.

  • 一只猎雕的遭遇

    一只猎雕的遭遇

    童书沈石溪
    动物小说之所以比其他类型的小说更有吸引力，是因为这个题材最容易刺破人类文化的外壳和文明社会种种虚伪的表象，可以毫无遮掩地直接表现丑陋与美丽融于一体的原生态的生命。人类文化和社会文明会随着时代的变迁而不断更新，但生命中残酷竞争、顽强生存和追求辉煌的精神内核是永远不会改变的。因此，动物小说更有理由赢得读者，也更有理由追求不朽。

    青春祺小朵
    朴树的歌声干净而透明，容易让人跌进无尽绵长的回忆中去，在香烟氤氲的烟雾中，我仿佛看到了曾经的她们，看到了我们的年少轻狂。微带着疲倦笑容的美丽的茹颜，倔强的面无表情的娃娃，流着泪的微微颤抖的安冉。这些影像都像放电影般在我脑海里盘旋不去。那个遥远的浙江，那个遥远的培烁，那里有我所有的爱与不爱。甚至，我甚至怀念那个男孩子，那个叫刀疤的，与我势不两立的男孩子。他曾是那样地为爱付出，又同样地被爱所伤，六年前，我们都还只是孩子，固执地一直往前跑而不愿回头张望的孩子。而四年之后，我坐在这松软的沙发上，回想起这些风吹的往事，心里除了无比的怀念与自责，更多的，则是怅惘。
