Spire

状态:连载作者:Faber & Faber
0006.5万字

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).

Sylvia—a girl from a small town in Massachusetts —is brain dead, and her parents have agreed to donate her body to give Rosa a new life. But when Rosa wakes from surgery, she can' t help but wonder, with increasing obsession, who Sylvia was and what her life was like. Her fascination with her new body and her desire to understand Sylvia prompt a road trip based on self-discovery… and a surprising new romance.

    中国大趋势3:中国拒绝捧杀

    吹捧中国模式,如今成为国内外的一种时髦,一种潮流。吹捧者的动机纷繁多样,然不管其动机如何,“树欲静而风不止”,如果中国本身不能自持,那么这些真真假假的吹捧就将使我们失去清醒的头脑,悠悠然,飘飘然,偏移本来设定好的航向。如此,则“吹捧”就变为了“捧杀”。中国拒绝“捧杀”。中国唯有拒绝“捧杀”,潜心内修,摆脱种种脆弱,方可成就真正的大国。这也理应是大势所趋。
