'Monks who cherish Mickey Mouse and collect motorbikes, hardened businessmen who read love poetry and geishas who visit temples'. Such was the paradoxical world that Pico Iyer was confronted with when he spent a year in the ancient Japanese capital of Kyoto.

When Pico Iyer decided to go to Kyoto and live in a monastery, he did so to learn about Zen Buddhism from the inside, to get to know Kyoto, one of the loveliest old cities in the world, and to find out something about Japanese culture today -- not the world of businessmen and production lines, but the traditional world of changing seasons and the silence of temples, of the imag...(展开全部)

克莱顿•劳森（1906－1971） 著名的“推理巫师”，具有编辑、作家、魔术师等多重身份，美国推理作家协会（MWA）的四大创始人物之一。其小说一方面融汇着魔术表演的基本原理，奇招迭出、别开生面，让读者深受震撼；另一方面又不时现身说法，给读者讲解些简易魔术，而这又往往契合着小说的谋杀诡计，堪称匠心独运、只此一家。劳森曾以“马里尼”之名登台表演魔术，所以这名字便自然见诸他的小说，如此遂有推理史上名动一时的“魔术师侦探”——马里尼大师。 一切皆有可能！
