第2章 INTRODUCTION

书签收藏评论目录封面

Many times, I have been asked where to eat vegetables in Paris. Who is the best massage therapist to soothe jet lag? Where to get a serious blow-dry on short notice, a quick eyebrow shaping…? I have too often failed to provide my sophisticated visiting friends with the right info. I have been living in NYC for five years now. For a long time, I wasn't aware of how different the routines and habits were between Paris and Manhattan. I could tell you where to buy cigarettes at 3:00 AM in Paris. But kale and scrambled tofu for breakfast? A myofascial release specialist? Hmm. Honestly, no idea. So I've decided to tackle that issue and give my New York, Milan, or S?o Paulo friends the best tips and favorite haunts from my people in Paris.

A quick caveat: This guide does not pretend to be authoritative. Sometimes the crowd in a restaurant will look more appealing than your food. And you may wonder why the tastemakers still come here season after season. Ask them and they'll shrug: "The owner is crazy."

Fashion people are creatures of habit. Not surprising, as their work is to program obsolescence. And they travel so much… the world, their playground. When it's time to relax, they look for their nests, wherever the photo shoot is taking place. Like a family, they also share the same strict code for a "stylish experience": fun characters, unpretentious luxe, impeccable professionalism, outsize punch, authenticity.

By following them, expect to be surprised, bewitched, puzzled, maybe disappointed at times, but always dazzled. That's what fashion is all about!

Have fun,

CAROLE SABAS

A Face Like Glass
英文图书 Frances Hardinge
In the underground city of Caverna, the world's most skilled craftsmen toil in the darkness to create delicacies beyond compare—wines that remove memories, cheeses that make you hallucinate, and perfumes that convince you to trust the wearer, even as they slit your throat. On the surface, the people of Caverna seem ordinary, except for one thing: their faces are as blank as untouched snow. Expressions must be learned, and only the famous Facesmiths can teach a person to express (or fake) joy, despair, or fear—at a steep price. Into this dark and distrustful world comes Neverfell, a girl with no memory of her past and a face so terrifying to those around her that she must wear a mask at all times. Neverfell's expressions are as varied and dynamic as those of the most skilled Facesmiths, except hers are entirely genuine. And that makes her very dangerous indeed…
Fly By Night
英文图书 Frances Hardinge
Everybody knew that books were dangerous. Read the wrong book, it was said, and the words crawled around your brain on black legs and drove you mad, wicked mad. Mosca Mye was born at a time sacred to Goodman Palpitattle, He Who Keeps Flies out of Jams and Butterchurns, which is why her father insisted on naming her after the housefly. He also insisted on teaching her to read—even in a world where books are dangerous, regulated things. Eight years later, Quillam Mye died, leaving behind an orphaned daughter with an inauspicious name and an all-consuming hunger for words. Trapped for years in the care of her cruel Uncle Westerly and Aunt Briony, Mosca leaps at the opportunity for escape, though it comes in the form of sneaky swindler Eponymous Clent. As she travels the land with Clent and her pet goose, Saracen, Mosca begins to discover complicated truths about the world she inhabits and the power of words.

民间风情：三百六十行
文化王金锋高峰编著
“三百六十行，行行出状元”是我们再耳熟能详不过的话。社会百业，就是我们俗称的三百六十行。所谓三百六十行的行，最早似乎是指街巷所设的贩卖摊和商店的行列，这点可以在唐人小说文献中得以证明。传统的三百六十行，是我国农耕社会中的各行各业，特别是指人们赖以为生产、生活，即与衣食住行用等紧密相联的手工业、商业的泛称。
