Andrei Tarkovsky (1932-86) was considered by many to be one of Russia's most influential filmmakers, despite an output of only seven feature films in 20 years.

内容简介： 乡愁，也是一种目光。这本俄国导演塔可夫斯基（Andrey Tarkovsky）的拍立得摄影集，背后有段曲折複杂的故事。1981年，塔可夫斯基已名声远播，受邀和妻子至义大利工作，继而计画定居异国。此举触怒苏联当局，于是将其儿子扣押，一家分隔两地，塔氏不得返回俄国。这本摄影集的前半部，包括大量塔可夫斯基在俄国时期的家庭、妻儿、及生活快照，后半部，则是他至义大利后的影像素写。除了他一贯的诗意与神秘气质外，裡面诸多故土与爱子照片，之后变成流亡异国的导演魂牵梦繫的执念，这些影像后来变成了电影《乡愁》。直到塔氏病痛缠身，即将离世前夕，其子才获准前往义大利，一家团聚。 本书的图片都由老塔亲自标上注解，整部书弥漫着一如其电影镜头般的昏黄深邃感，是一本拍利得版的小电影，值得影迷们收藏。

Jean Baudrillard is one of the most controversial and stimulating figures in contemporary philosophy and cultural criticism. Whether embraced or reviled for his reflections on 'hyperreality', he never fails to evoke strong reactions. Yet, all too often, discussion of Baudrillard's ideas takes place at one remove, with much imputed to him. It is sometimes claimed that his writin...(展开全部)

A Picador Paperback Original How do great writers do it? From James M. Cain's hard-nosed observation that "writing a novel is like working on foreign policy. There are problems to be solved. It's not all inspirational," to Joan Didion's account of how she composes a book—"I constantly retype my own sentences. Every day I go back to page one and just retype what I have. It gets ...(展开全部)
