查爾斯．舒茲（Charles M. Schulz, 1922-2000） 在美國漫畫界是個開創新局面的奇才，也是努力不懈的馬拉松健將，持續繪製一篇又一篇的連環漫畫，年復一年編寫電視特別節目的劇情腳本；他創造了一個奇想世界，將孩童與成人的世界串聯起來，以鮮明有力的角色表達我們內心深處的孤獨、憤怒與絕望，描繪諸事不順的感受、對愛的渴望，以及想要把事情做好的熱切期盼。「花生米」漫畫一點也不膚淺、不輕率，就像漫畫中的謝勒德把所有心力投注於貝多芬的音符，舒茲也把他所有的心力投注於漫畫。舒茲也與費茲傑羅一樣，給聖保羅留下一些遺憾，我們等他搬到其他地方才了解他的偉大之處，不過我們仍可在這裡以愛與讚嘆之心懷念他，並且衷心感謝他那美好的天賦，以及那極大的恆心與毅力。 ——凱樂（Garrison Keillor，美國幽默作家、廣播人），摘自本書前言

There he wrote his constantly expanding 'essays', inspired by the ideas he found in books from his library and his own experience. He discusses subjects as diverse as war-horses and cannibals, poetry and politics, sex and religion, love and friendship, ecstasy and experience...(展开全部)

One of the great English Romantic poets, William Blake (1757-1827) was an artist, poet, mystic and visionary. His work ranges from the deceptively simple and lyrical "Songs of Innocence" and their counterpoint "Experience" - which juxtapose poems such as "The Lamb and The Tyger", and "The Blossom and The Sick Rose" - to highly elaborate, apocalyptic works, such as "The Four Zoa...(展开全部)
