The author initially intended to call this novel The Lyrical Age. The lyrical age, according to Kundera, is youth, and this novel, above all, is an epic of adolescence; an ironic epic that tenderly erodes sacrosanct values: childhood, motherhood, revolution, and even poetry. Jaromil is in fact a poet. His mother made him a poet and accompanies him (figuratively) to his love bed...(展开全部)

生命由眾多美好事物組成，其中最棒的，就是飲食…… 《生命饗宴》以飲食為基調，搭配作者感人的文筆，以一年365天為範圍，每日一篇小品文章，將飲食融合在文學、旅遊、歷史、哲學、音樂、趣聞、生活感懷等主題之下。 這本精緻的散文作品裡，作者每天信手拈來一篇優美的文章，看似隨筆記下，卻蘊含著無窮美好的經驗與故事，行文間甚至可以隱約聽見餐廳刀叉碰撞的清脆聲響、鍋具在爐火上的滋滋聲音，以及略帶嘈雜的人聲、腳步聲、美食的香味和甜點。 此外，書中還記錄許多名人軼事，例如作家莫泊桑在世時最痛恨艾菲爾鐵塔的醜陋，因此天天到鐵塔底下去吃午餐，免得見到它。另外還包含了詩人拜倫的餐點祕密、英國皇室待客的菜餚、狄更斯《小氣財神(聖誕頌歌)》裡的聖誕大餐介紹、「鐵達尼」沈船前的最後晚餐等。內容包羅萬象，知識豐富又有趣。

Why is life the way it is? Bacteria evolved into complex life just once in four billion years of life on earth - and all complex life s hares many strange properties, from sex to ageing and death. If life evolved on other planets, would it be the same or completely different? In The Vital Question, Nick Lane radically reframes evolutionary history, putting forward a cogent solu...(展开全部)
