Before he Sees (A Mackenzie White Mystery—Book 2)评论

A self-confessed forger, cheat, thief, and petty criminal, William Palmer was also a surgeon and a racehorse owner during the Victorian era who doped horses, fixed races, philandered unapologetically, and generally behaved as an all-around rogue. But the crime for which he was condemned was altogether more serious: poisoning numerous members of his family as well as a close friend. Based on the historic trial of a man characterized as a sociopath and a serial killer, Robert Graves tells the story from the defendant's point of view, the story of a man who was deeply flawed but ultimately not beyond redemption.Based on a historical trial held in 1856, Robert Graves' novel is brimming with humor, emotion, and social commentary. Told through the eyes of both friends and enemies, Palmer comes to life as a not-unsympathetic antihero.

Charley Partanna works as a hitman for the Prizzis, New York's most dangerous crime family. Irene Walker does, too--an LA-based tax consultant, she moonlights as a hitwoman. And now she's stolen a large sum of money for the mob--and it's Charley's job to find her. The catch? Charley is married to Irene. Faced with divided loyalties, he must make a choice--between the only family he's ever known and the woman he loves.Prizzi's Honor was made into an award-winning film in 1985 starring Jack Nicholson, Robert Loggia, Kathleen Turner, and Anjelica Huston, who won an Academy Award for her performance. A compelling page-turner fueled by rich characterization and fast-paced prose, this book is sure to keep you on the edge of your seat.

It was as a poet that Samuel Beckett launched himself in the little reviews of 1930s Paris, and as a poet that he ended his career. This new selection, from Whoroscope (1930) to 'what is the word' (1988), describes a lifetime's arc of writing. It was as a poet moreover that Beckett made his first breakthrough into writing in French, and the Selected Poems represents work in both languages, including the sequence of brief but highly crafted mirlitonnades, which did so much to usher in the style of his late prose, and come as close as anything he wrote to honouring the ambition to 'bore one hole after another in language, until what lurks behind it - be it something or nothing - begins to seep through.' Also included are several of Beckett's translations from contemporaries - Apollinaire, Eluard, Michaux, Montale - in versions which count among his own poetic achievements. It is edited by David Wheatley.

在当前的管理界，一个很有意义的争论就是管理究竟是技术还是艺术？本书作者认为，管理首先是技术，然后才是艺术。管理有具体的方法和技巧，而这些方法和技巧在不同场合下可能表现为不同的形式。目前国内的管理教育，基本上以MBA为主流，集中理论知识的传授和讲解管理者自我提升所必需的技能。书中原理的阐述与技能的结合，案例分析与管理游戏相交融，使读者能从概念和原理上得以提升，又可以在具体技术和方法上有所改善。这是第一批，包括了7个专题的基本内容，从管理沟通、谈判技能、问题解决技能，到团队建设技能、激励下属技能，再到个的时间管理、个人压力调节等，都是管理者自我提升所必需的基本技能。后面还会不断推出新的专题。

过了河，父亲再一次告诫我，说不管师傅问什么，都要顺着他，知道吗？我点点头。父亲蹲下来给我整了整衣衫，我的对襟短衫是母亲两个月前就做好的，为了让我穿上去看起来老成一些，还特地选了藏青色。直到今天离开家时，母亲才把新衣服给我换上。衣服上身后，父亲不满意，蹙着眉说还是没盖住那股子嫩臭味儿。看起来藏青色的短衫并没有拉长我来到这个世界上的日子。毕竟我才十一岁，这个年龄不比衣服，过过水就能缩短或抻长的。
