From the New York Times bestselling author of The Night Gardener, Peter Nimble and His Fantastic Eyes is the utterly beguiling tale of a ten-year-old blind orphan who has been schooled in a life of thievery. One fateful afternoon, he steals a box from a mysterious traveling haberdasher—a box that contains three pairs of magical eyes. When he tries the first pair, he is instantly transported to a hidden island where he is presented with a special quest: to travel to the dangerous Vanished Kingdom and rescue a people in need. Along with his loyal sidekick—a knight who has been turned into an unfortunate combination of horse and cat—and the magic eyes, he embarks on an unforgettable, swashbuckling adventure to discover his true destiny. Be sure to read the companion book, Sophie Quire and the Last Storyguard. Praise for Peter Nimble and His Fantastic Eyes "Auxier has a juggler's dexterity with prose that makes this fantastical tale quicken the senses."-Kirkus Reviews

Sweeney Astray is Seamus Heaney's version of the medieval Irish work Buile Suibhne - the first complete translation since 1913. Its hero, Mad Sweeney, undergoes a series of purgatorial adventures after he is cursed by a saint and turned into a bird at the Battle of Moira. The poetry spoken by the mad king, exiled to the trees and the slopes, is among the richest and most immediately appealing in the whole canon of Gaelic literature. Sweeney Astray not only restores to us a work of historical and literary importance but offers the genius of one of our greatest living poets to reinforce its claims on the reader of contemporary literature.

本书以本雅明的“都市漫游者”理论为基础，结合文化地理学、叙事学及文类研究等相关理论，分析“都市漫游”在纽约少年疗治童年创伤、寻找精神家园、探究自我身份以及实现美国梦方面的功用，总结多克托罗都市成长小说的特点，探析作品中所展现的独特的都市美学，发现多克托罗既有犹太作家的族裔担当，又颇具救赎城市的世界主义情怀。而他在侦探小说、自传、成长小说、犯罪小说等文类间自由游走，打破传统文类界限，并运用口语化的语言写作则旨在于当今机械复制的时代复兴传统的“讲故事”的技艺。

This title comes with an introduction by John Mullen. Dean Jocelin has a vision: that God has chosen him to erect a great spire on his cathedral. His mason anxiously advises against it, for the old cathedral was built without foundations. Nevertheless, the spire rises octagon upon octagon, pinnacle by pinnacle, until the stone pillars shriek and the ground beneath it swims. Its shadow falls ever darker on the world below, and on Dean Jocelin in particular. From the author of Lord of the Flies, The Spire is a dark and powerful portrait of one man's will, and the folly that he creates. "e;Quite simply, a marvel"e;. (Frank Kermode, New York Review of Books). "e;Superb…The book should become a classic"e;. (Sunday Telegraph). "e;An engrossing story"e;. (New York Times Book Review).

伟大领袖毛主席说，没有调查就没有发言权。三个月前，我向太太调查。对曰：晓得。大喜，追问：晓得啥子？对曰：他不是说，带上你的鞭子，去找你心爱的人！我当时很不谨慎地放声大笑，几至缺氧。该回答起码代表99.9999%的中国人民。我的笑其实有点道理。因为，尼采的原话是：“你要去女人那里吗？别忘了你的鞭子！”虽然从亚里斯多德开始，哲学就不大喜欢女人（哲学家喜欢女人的当然不乏其人），但这句话仍然当选哲学史恶毒污蔑女性口号的世界冠军。尼采由此遗臭万年。
