本书作品是埃里克·索斯沿着密西西比河的公路旅行中，拍下的美国有代表性但却常被忽视的“第三海岸”。索斯的大幅彩色作品极富描述性，拍摄的对象有人物、风景和房屋内部。主题是粗旷自然，细节却富纤细美感，全系列被孤独、渴求、幻想的气氛所包围。策展人安妮·威尔克斯·塔克写道，“索斯的作品涵盖了众多主题：疾病、生产、种族、罪恶、学习、艺术、音乐、死亡、宗教、救赎、政治，以及廉价的性。” 本书是摄影书时代具有定义性的画册之一。 BY假杂志

The task of finding the killer of a beautiful young woman found sprawled in the sleeping car of the night train from Marseilles to Paris is handed to an overworked, crime-weary police detective named Pierre Emile Grazziano, who would rather play hide-and-seek with his son than cat and mouse with a murderer

多年以来，贸易城市英勇地对抗他们的敌人——恰斯人（Chalcedeans）。不过，如果不是依靠蓝龙婷黛丽雅（Tintaglia）的力量，他们无法抵御敌人的侵略。作为回报，商人们承诺帮助婷黛丽雅的那些流落在海中的海蛇们沿着雨野原河向上游迁徙，以找到一处安全的避难所，婷黛丽雅希望籍此可以光复她的种群。然而为时已晚，那些新孵化的小龙已经受到伤害变得赢弱不堪，随时可能死去。少数幸存者却不能使用它们的翅膀；无法飞翔，它们便不能狩猎，而且很容易被那些相信龙肉可以疗伤的人类猎人所伤害。 这时，婷黛丽雅却消失了，而商人们也厌倦了花费巨大的人力和财力去照顾那些无用的幼龙。议会担心如果停止供养幼龙，这些饥饿而遭到忽视的生物会变得狂暴——或者死在酸腐的河岸上。为了避免这样的灾难，幼龙们决定沿着这条危险的河流继续朔流而上，去寻找凯尔辛格拉（Kelsingra）——它们古老而...(展开全部)

When a princess who behaves like a dragon meets a dragon who behaves like a princess, who knows what will happen! This is suitable for discussion of preconceptions and gender roles.

A tale of archetypal heroes and sweeping adventures, of dragons and princes and evil wizards, this is epic fantasy as only Stephen King could envision it.

What happens when a sheepish knight and a not-so-fierce dragon fight for the very first time? Well, it's no ordinary battle since the knight has to go to the castle library to learn about dragon-fighting and the dragon must dig through his ancestor's things to find out how to fight a knight! Spontaneity of line and feeling are backed by zesty colors and a jovial, tongue-in-chee...(展开全部)

《武士与龙》是一个很好看的故事，大人和孩子都会一下子被吸引，也会迅速地读完它。读完之后，大人会很快地得出结论说：这是一个有关战争与和平的故事。或者说：这里说的是不要打架，要学会和谐共处。小孩呢，当然不像大人那么会概括，但大人说的道理，他们能听懂，也能记住。 这样的道理，说一遍就够了，说几遍就显得多余了。但是奇怪，这本图画书，为什么他们还爱反反复复地看？一页一页，前翻后翻，好像老也看不厌。我以为，这是因为，书里还藏着一些不容易一眼看透的秘密，或者说，在故事背后，还有另一个故事。 我们试着问问孩子，或者像孩子那样，无限耐心地，充满兴趣地，把这本图画书看透。然后，来回答这样的问题：在《武士与龙》中，哪些画面，是最吸引人的，最耐人琢磨的，最让你觉得有趣的？ 一开始，当然是打斗的场面，是龙和武士发愤地练功和准备，然后，就是相互地冲过来，冲过去，打得一塌糊涂。 ...(展开全部)
