获奖译者为我们带来了 1870 年俄罗斯伟大的讽刺作家的喜剧小说的新译本——他对俄罗斯专制的嘲讽在普京时代具有新的意义。 《愚人堡：某镇的历史》是俄罗斯的一部经典之作，尽管在西方并不那么出名，但它是一部滑稽的编年史，讲述了虚构的格鲁波夫镇（翻译为“愚蠢之城”或“愚人堡”）及其不幸的居民数百年来被动忍受统治者的暴力和疯狂的故事。该镇的残酷市长接连出现，包括一些超现实的极端人物，比如一个脑袋里装着音乐盒的人，以及一个身高过高的人在暴风雨中折断成两半。萨尔蒂科夫-谢德林将乔纳森·斯威夫特的尖锐讽刺与尼古拉·果戈理的荒诞幻想结合在一起，充满了他自己独有的俏皮文字游戏。这部小说是俄罗斯文学版的《格列佛游记》，之前的英文翻译中从未成功捕捉到其滑稽的幽默；这一次将为它带来应有的关注。 The award-winning translators bring us a...(展开全部)

Most of us give little thought to the back of the book - it's just where you go to look things up. But here, hiding in plain sight, is an unlikely realm of ambition and obsession, sparring and politicking, pleasure and play. Here we might find Butchers, to be avoided, or Cows that sh-te Fire, or even catch Calvin in his chamber with a Nonne. This is the secret world of the inde...(展开全部)

Everyone knows the wind’s touch, its presence, its force. Sometimes it roars and howls, at other times we hear its wistful sighs and feel its soothing caresses. Since antiquity, humans have borne witness to the wind and relied on it to navigate the seas. And yet, despite its presence at the heart of human experience, the wind has evaded scrutiny in our chronicles of the past. I...(展开全部)

How did marriage, considered a religious duty in medieval Europe, become a venue for personal fulfillment in contemporary America? How did the notion of romantic love, a novelty in the Middle Ages, become a prerequisite for marriage today? And, if the original purpose of marriage was procreation, what exactly is the purpose of marriage for women now? Combining "a scholar's rigo...(展开全部)

In this truly global journey Andrew Marr revisits some of traditional histories, which have tended to be Eurocentric, telling mankind's story through tales of Greece and Rome and the crowned heads of Europe's oldest monarchies. Here he widen...(展开全部)

This is the story of our quest to understand the most mysterious object in the universe: the human brain. Today we tend to picture it as a computer. Earlier scientists thought about it in their own technological terms: as a telephone switchboard, or a clock, or all manner of fantastic mechanical or hydraulic devices. Could the right metaphor unlock the its deepest secrets once ...(展开全部)
