Hot Gates and Other Occasional Pieces
This is a dazzling collection of occasional writings by the Nobel Prize-winning novelist on subjects ranging from Thermopylae to the English Channel, and from Coral Island to Jules Verne. "e;A book of occasional essays which afford us many fascinating insights into Golding the man…It is highly individual yet profoundly modest; it has an unusual, slightly angular candour, full of painful knowledge and a beautiful humanity …event the slightest piece bears the mark of his rare, austere mind, his remarkable imagination…Even these occasional essays are enough to remind us that …there is not, at the moment, a writer to touch him"e;. (New Society).美国的耻辱:珍珠港事件内幕
在约翰·托兰编著的《美国的耻辱》中我得出结论,对于那场对珍珠港的灾难性攻击,每一个美国人都有一份责任,那场攻击主要是日本人一次无缘无故的侵略行径。九年过去了,在日本进行了大量的研究之后,我在《日本帝国的衰亡》中得出惊人的结论:珍珠港事件是日本人和美国人对对方估算失误、犯了错误的结果。“由于日本人的机会主义、失去理智、荣誉、骄傲和担心——和美国的种族歧视、不信任、对东方的无知、刻板、自我正义、荣誉、国家的自豪和担心,以及双方相互之间的误解、语言困难和翻译错误,才使后来打了一场本可不必打的战争。”Iron Cast
It's Boston, 1919, and the Cast Iron club is packed. On stage, hemopaths —whose "afflicted" blood gives them the ability to create illusions through art —Corinne and Ada have been best friends ever since infamous gangster Johnny Dervish recruited them into his circle. By night they perform for Johnny's crowds, and by day they con Boston's elite. When a job goes wrong and Ada is imprisoned, she realizes how precarious their position is. After she escapes, two of the Cast Iron's hires are shot, and Johnny disappears. With the law closing in, Corinne and Ada are forced to hunt for answers, even as betrayal faces them at every turn. An ideal next read for fans of Libba Bray's The Diviners.
