In the slow flow of time, I feel the joy and heaviness of each ordinary life. \"Life is like a long, tranquil river.\" Let us experience it.\u003cbr\u003e Bei Dao wrote in an essay: People always think that the storm they have experienced is the only one, and they compare themselves to the storm, wanting to blow the next generation around as well.\u003cbr\u003e Finally, he asked, \"How will the next generation live?\" This is a question they themselves must answer.\u003cbr\u003e I don't know how we will live or what kind of movies we will make.\u003cbr\u003e Because “we” is such an empty word—who are we?\u003cbr\u003e I don’t poeticize my experiences. \u003cbr\u003eAt a cinema in France, I watched Wim Wenders' latest documentary, \"Buena Vista Social Club.\" Filmed primarily in Cuba, this tale of veteran jazz musicians was also shot digitally and then transferred to film. The grainy images on screen shimmered with a documentary aesthetic, while the nimble nature of digital cameras also enriched the film's perspectives. The audience's enthusiastic applause throughout the viewing experience left me feeling a new cinematic aesthetic taking shape with the development of digital technology. The low contrast requirements, extremely small size, ease of operation, and low cost of digital cameras all offer a promising future.\u003cbr\u003e \u0026lt;After the advent of VCD and digital video cameras\u0026gt; \u003cbr\u003eOver the years, I've witnessed the struggles of countless friends who've tried to make a film. Some, clutching a stack of scripts, struggle to get through one company after another, facing \"No Salespeople Allowed\" signs. Faced with a slew of indignation, their self-esteem crippled, their ideals becoming a killer. Others pin their hopes on personal connections, seeking out countless friends, hoping to find a big boss who'll lend a hand. But the big boss is always somewhere else, and hope always lies ahead. One day, a \"boss\" suddenly takes your script, only to discover a year or two later that the \"boss\" was also trying to get something for nothing, and wasn't much of a pro. Others, after trying to \"PR\" with foreigners and attending a few parties at diplomatic residences, discover that foreign affairs are difficult to navigate, and that foreigners are just as practical. Entertainment newspapers, big and small, are booming, one after another. But strolling around Beitaipingzhuang, I still feel a sense of desolation. Opportunities seem plentiful, but I don't know where to start. So, I spend less time researching film and more time socializing. A few friends who share the same suffering would occasionally get together, drink alone at a food stall at Beihang University, and when they played rock-paper-scissors, they would start with: \"When you're in the world, who can avoid being stabbed? One knife, two knifes...\" \u003cbr\u003eTokyo Summer\u003cbr\u003e Later, someone told me that your choice of a thief as the central character lacked universal significance and didn't align with your intention of documenting this era. I believe that whether a character in a work is universal doesn't depend on their specific social status, but rather on your ability to grasp this specific character from a human perspective.\u003cbr\u003e I'm drawn to the character of the thief because it offers a perspective that allows me to explore the fascinating transformations of relationships. For example, Xiaowu's friend Xiaoyong, once a thief, transforms himself into a prominent local \"private entrepreneur\" through smuggling cigarettes and running a karaoke bar. There's a shift in value relationships here: smuggling cigarettes to trade, running a karaoke bar to entertainment. In this way, people like Xiaoyong can seamlessly adapt and shift their social status in such a world. A thief is always just a thief. \u003cbr\u003eThis aesthetic preference of mine may be partly rooted in my reading of Borges's novels. Of course, I read them in Chinese translation, so I have no way of judging the original text. Through the translation, I encounter concrete, unadorned images. Borges uses this concise language to construct a complex and elusive imaginary world for us through simple description—exactly what I deeply aspire to achieve when making films. For example, the sequence in \"Xiao Wu\" after Mei Mei kisses Xiao Wu, with the soundtrack from John Woo's \"The Killer,\" aims to create an effect of alienation: allowing our perception to freely move back and forth between the two planes of reality and unreality.\u003cbr\u003e A grassroots director from China (dialogue) \u003cbr\u003eBut once the film began, I was plunged into Edward Yang's meticulously orchestrated mundane life. This is a film about family, about middle age, and about the human condition. The story expands from the middle-class character played by Wu Nien-jen, revealing the truth behind a \"happy\" Chinese family. I can't recount the film's story in detail, because the pervasive \"happy\" truth is tense and heartbreaking. The child's closing line, \"I'm only seven, but I feel old,\" left me even more melancholy. Edward Yang's masterpiece so plainly captures the pressures of life that it even left me gasping for air. I can't connect \"Yi Yi\" with his previous films because Yang has truly surpassed himself. His precious life experience was finally uninterrupted by overpowering ideas, and in the slow and painful peeling away, the true feelings of fifty years old were exposed. And on that rainy afternoon in Paris, I myself had witnessed the most brilliant film of 2000.\u003cbr\u003e Who is Ushering in a New Era for Chinese-Language Films? \u003cbr\u003eMy approach is to stay completely out of the so-called \"circle,\" and even less interested in the grudges within it. In Beijing, I operate relatively independently, a somewhat closed-off system within which I can focus intensely on my work. From the outset, I've had a relatively complete plan for my own creation, hoping to gradually establish my own spiritual world within the film industry. This is a very appealing working method, allowing me to disregard external factors, including the success or failure of film festivals or the box office. Neither of these is my ultimate goal. What always preoccupies me are artistic issues, and artistic issues are your own business, unrelated to the circle or others.\u003cbr\u003e \u0026lt;Image Selection in the Experiential World (Written Discussion)\u0026gt; \u003cbr\u003eI particularly like a quote by Antonioni: \"When you enter a space, you should immerse yourself for ten minutes, listen to what the space has to say, and then engage in dialogue with it.\" This has been a consistent tenet of my filmmaking ethos. Only by standing in a real, live-action space can I understand how to shoot a scene. My storyboards are largely formed this way, and it's been incredibly helpful. Within a space, you can find something, feel it, and then trust it.\u003cbr\u003e I filmed in many spaces: train stations, bus stations, waiting rooms, dance halls, karaoke bars, billiard halls, roller skating rinks, teahouses... During editing, due to length constraints, many things had to be removed. I found a rhythm and order in these spaces, as many of them are related to travel, and I chose the ones that best fit this theme. \u003cbr\u003eFilmmaking is an industry, and filmmaking is a highly planned endeavor. A director's independent approach aims to minimize the constraints and restrictions imposed by industry. These constraints aren't just the pressures of producers and the controls of film censorship; filmmaking itself is a disciplined process. DV offers a sense of freedom from industry. When filming the bus station, the local guide first took us to the coal mine to film a workers' club. After we emerged, we found ourselves in the same spot in the film, where people were waiting for the bus. The sun was already setting, and it felt like a sudden, scorching sun. I filmed this spot, relentlessly, capturing a lot of footage. By the time I was filming the old man, I was already quite satisfied; he was so dignified, and I patiently filmed him. As my camera followed him onto the bus, a woman suddenly intruded. My sound engineer said I was trembling at that moment. As I stared at her, the background was a stark, flat workers' dormitory. At that moment, I felt a strong sense of religious faith, and I kept filming along. Then another man suddenly entered; I don't know their relationship, but in the end, both men left. Throughout the entire process, I felt every minute was a gift from God. \u003cbr\u003e\u0026lt;Autobiography of \"Public Places\"\u0026gt;\u003cbr\u003e I still have the afternoon habit of meeting people at Huangtingzi: toasting with friends, slamming the table and arguing with enemies, giving interviews, trying to persuade producers, begging for help, seeking advice from experts. I don't drink much, but I talk a lot. My hometown, Fenyang, produces Fenjiu, often bearing inscriptions by famous people. Suddenly, a line from someone's poem came to mind: \"Only with wine can one flow through consciousness, and the joy of writing long essays never ceases.\" This intensified my mental activity. As I toasted, my heart suddenly sank, knowing that I hadn't gotten my business done, and sadness washed over me. The conversation suddenly waned, and I hunched over the table, watching the flickering candlelight. The clamor around me faded, evoking the atmosphere of \"Flowers of Shanghai.\" Then I thought of my aging and my own dawdling life. Life felt frivolous, my body heavy. I suddenly, strangely, left the table like an old man, and in the darkness on my way home, I vaguely saw memories of my childhood. Knowing I was a little tipsy, I told the driver: \"Only with wine can one flow through consciousness.\" The master has seen this many times and will not respond, knowing that the man will wake up again at dawn: he will smile apologetically and shake hands with people, completely unaware that he has been so embarrassed and behaved in an ugly manner. \u003cbr\u003eIn the afternoon, I was waiting for someone again. The customer hadn't arrived yet, and my earlier excitement had subsided. In tune with the afternoon's relaxed atmosphere, I stood up and looked out the window. Outside, people were busy cycling under the bright sun, chasing after some unknown fate. My heart felt like the fleeting nature of life, and I felt a pang of melancholy. Suddenly, a middle-aged woman came in, ordered a drink, and asked Xiao Chen to play some Jeff Chang. Before the song even started, she burst into tears. It turned out this bar was a place where you could cry.\u003cbr\u003e If I go to Huangtingzi now, the bar has been demolished and turned into a pile of dirt. It's a metaphor: everything can turn to dust and disappear. So I have to hold on to the movies, not for immortality, but just to shed a tear.\u003cbr\u003e \u0026lt;Stream of consciousness only possible with alcohol\u0026gt;","brand":"台海出版社","offers":[{"title":"Simplified Chinese \/ Softcover","offer_id":46415843754223,"sku":"9787516812969","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0714\/4849\/4319\/files\/IMG_4810_29b2cbf9-8a62-488d-96d4-b34e9087ccc8.jpg?v=1745481486"},{"product_id":"蒙马特遗书-9787547739570","title":"Montmartre suicide note","description":"\u003ch3\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/book.douban.com\/subject\/35512888\/\"\u003eDouban\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/neodb.social\/book\/53Yqo9NKyBhRAKrtPbZdJn\"\u003eNeoDB\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e 【Content Introduction】\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \"Is there really no salvation in life?

It was selected as one of the top ten books by Taiwan's China Times in 2013.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e The Tang Dynasty was a time of great prosperity, both civil and military, embracing the world with unparalleled confidence and passion. Poetry, once the most free form of poetry, was imbued with the rules of meter and became a means to change destiny.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWhy did the ethereal Li Bai, with his aspirations to \"apply the teachings of Guan Yu and Yan Zhenqing, and devise the strategies of imperial rule,\" fail to qualify for the imperial examinations, even concealing his origins and wandering the world, destined to miss out on the prosperity of the world? Unable to conform to the rhythms of his time, his verses were arbitrary, so how could he have composed unrivaled verses that reached the ears of the gods, achieving the supreme glory of \"Gao Lishi removing his boots, Yang Guifei pouring wine\"? Even after achieving worldwide fame, why did he still lose sight of his original self, so that, millennia later, people still mostly remember only his name?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Behind the prosperity of the world, beneath the fame, often overlooked is the burden of freedom. The immortals that later generations admire, envy, and strive to reach are merely those excluded from the mundane world. As real life unfolds, the immortal realms of poetry gradually fade away, shaped by the various assumptions and restrictions of the times.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Li Bai changed Tang poetry, but missed the era; and how could the entire Tang Dynasty miss him?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe \"Li Bai of the Tang Dynasty\" series is a culmination of author Zhang Dachun's mastery of modern fiction and classical cultural heritage. Across millions of words, it recreates the life of the immortal poet Li Bai and the rise and fall of the Tang Dynasty. The first installment, \"Youthful Travel,\" traces Li Bai's early travels, unravelling the mysteries of his origins and mentorship, and depicting the vibrant world of the heyday of the Tang Dynasty. The author weaves between fiction and history, not only using poetry to infer the inner and outer worlds of contemporary literati, but even boldly ghostwriting Li Bai, supplementing and rewriting his poems. The narrative is both elusive and captivating, a captivating and captivating interplay of rationality and intellectuality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e I think the reason why a novel like \"Li Bai in the Tang Dynasty\" is fascinating is not only because it uses a lot of \"unconventional, wild, and unreliable history\" to weave the stories around the legendary figure Li Bai, but also because it uses vague materials such as poetry to reversely infer the creative situation at that time, and tries to make that situation (of the times, society, and individuals) come alive again. This is undoubtedly a great challenge and satisfaction for a novelist.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eTherefore, this book can be said to be a textual research, a poetic theory, a documentary, and of course a novel of a new form that is extremely challenging for readers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e —Wu Mingyi (novelist and professor at National Dong Hwa University in Taiwan)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \"The great road is as vast as the blue sky, yet I alone cannot escape.\" The grandeur of the prosperous age reflects the poet's dilemma.

Facing historical inertia, social prejudice, and the constraints of precedent, she forged ahead, overcoming obstacles and, through her own actions, gradually rewriting American judicial history, transforming the status of American women, and making extraordinary contributions to the equal rights of other marginalized groups. Ginsburg was a symbol of judicial justice, and her tenacious and legendary life made her a national icon and cultural symbol, widely respected and admired.

With this in mind, this book focuses on three key areas: a field Wu Mi devoted his life to (world literature), a subject he deeply valued (the Four Great Classical Traditions), and a literary work he particularly loved (The Dream of the Red Chamber). Through a careful reading of his diaries, poems, chronological biography, letters, and lecture notes, the author strives to reveal the specific content and multifaceted dimensions of Wu Mi's scholarship and thought. The author devotes considerable space to comparing Wu Mi with leading scholars of his time, highlighting his unique understanding of the relationship between ancient and modern, East and West, old and new, the role of the Four Great Classical Traditions in life and literature, and the relationship between literature and life.

The main part is interviews, and there are also several critical articles.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAs a curious reader and discerning colleague, Philip Roth interviewed seven prominent Jewish writers from around the world—Primo Levi, Aharon Appelfeld, Ivan Klima, Isaac Bashevis Singer, Milan Kundera, and Edna O'Brien—asking them directly about their upbringings, creative motivations, and the broader contexts in which they lived. They discussed themselves and their peers, exploring their personal influences and literary ideals, and how, after experiencing Auschwitz, the Holocaust, the years of resistance, or exile, they came to terms with themselves, responded to the outside world, and pursued highly personal paths of artistic imagination.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe writers interviewed arguably lived through the most turbulent era in Europe in the 20th century. The places where they grew up or lived (Italy, Poland, Czechoslovakia, Israel, and others) were vibrant hubs of literature, politics, history, and diverse thought. Their works and interviews contain remarkably honest and insightful content. At a time when everyone prefers to judge rather than understand, to answer rather than ask, literature has become a preserver of life and truth, answering our questions while also questioning everything.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e The book also includes a letter exchange between Philip Roth and Mary McCarthy, in which Roth responds to Mary McCarthy's views on his work; two essays commemorating the late writer Malamud and Guston, the illustrator of \"The Breast,\" and a review of Saul Bellow's work. Each piece is a professional writer's exchange of comments and a brilliant book review from a distinguished reader.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePhilip Roth, a curious reader and dedicated writer, reviewed the works and literary perspectives of his peers in interviews and then questioned them. His assessments are precise and to the point, defining these writers to a certain extent, and are frequently cited by critics (seeing publications such as The New Yorker and The Paris Review). His questions always capture the writers' deepest concerns, and the interplay of questions and responses reveals the true power of serious literature. At a time when everyone prefers to judge rather than understand, to answer rather than question, literature may have become a preserver of life and truth, answering our questions while also questioning everything.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e While all seven writers interviewed by Roth are Jewish, their backgrounds vary. Growing up in Italy, Poland, the Czech Republic, and elsewhere, they experienced the turmoil of 20th-century Europe and forged their own paths to self-reconciliation and response to the outside world, as reflected in their works and conversations with Roth. These interviews can help readers transcend stereotypes about the writers and better understand their work and the times in which they lived.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFor example, in the first interview, Primo Levi, a chemist and writer, was a survivor of Auschwitz and the author of novels such as \"Diary of an Auschwitz Survivor\" and \"The Periodic Table.\" He possessed a coexistence of scientific accuracy and literary artistry. He viewed the inscription \"Labor Creates Freedom\" on the concentration camp gate as a horrific parody of work, a form of punishment leading to a painful death. His work at the chemical plant and his literary creation at his desk were intended to restore the humane meaning of work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e The third article features an interview with Czech writer Ivan Klima. Klima's conversation with Roth extends beyond his works, exploring underground publishing during the resistance era and the controversy surrounding Kundera among Czech writers.

He leads us to countries swept by the monsoon, capturing the soul of these regions undergoing dramatic changes through the intertwining of history and reality.\nBy the Ganges River, amidst tearful pilgrims and black smoke rising from cremation pyres, he experiences the almost instinctive sense of life's continuation for Indians; in the Golden Triangle of northern Myanmar, he meets refined overseas Chinese descendants struggling to maintain the only Chinese school in the area; on the Thai-Cambodian border, he visits ancient temples surrounded by landmines, uncovering a hidden painful memory; at the Ijen volcano crater in Indonesia, sulphur workers making a living in hell extend a helping hand, and he realizes that human presence is the soul of Java.\nHe witnesses a sense of dignity that modernization has failed to erode, and also sees the global exchange of money and love; he witnesses the loss of civilization and the birth of suffering, and also comprehends the beliefs that sustain humanity. He encounters people and lives of all stripes, and with an insightful and calm brush, he writes about how in such a world, there are still such people, living such lives.\n·\nLiu Zichao broke my prejudice against travelogues. What he recorded was simple and vivid, but beyond that, what interested me more were his thoughts and ideas, because the author's own vision, thought, and even spirit determine the depth and meaning of a journey.\n—Li Jian, Musician\nLiu Zichao's travels are different from those of ordinary tourists. He has a true traveler's perspective, going deep into streets and alleys, interacting with people, inheriting a very excellent tradition of travel literature.\n—Luo Xin, Professor of History at Peking University\nAmong the burgeoning travel writing in the Chinese world, Zichao is a name that cannot be ignored. His curiosity, insight, hesitation, and habitual self-indulgence all exude a special charm.\n—Xu Zhiyuan, Writer, Founder of One Way Space\nWith writers like Liu Zichao, we accelerate our understanding of the world. He makes difficult arrivals time and again, delves deep into local culture and history, and then, through exquisite and apt writing, unveils the mysterious veil of the world, sparking our desire to understand it. After reading Zichao's books, I always hope I can follow his route, and always hope I can write such books myself.\n—Yu Minhong, Founder of New Oriental\nLiu Zichao's work has a concise prose style, as well as a unique sense of humor, curiosity, and adventurous spirit, making it a joy to read. Liu Zichao is a keen observer of human nature and a very talented writer.\n—Jon Lee Anderson, Senior Correspondent for The New Yorker\nWhile modern people are accustomed to the convenience of information on the internet, he insists on physically entering the scene and recreating the journey through literature. The human conditions he witnesses and writes about refresh our coordinates and perspectives for viewing today's world. And those unfamiliar place names on the fringes and in the cracks of the world also become connected to us due to the presence of a Chinese writer.\n—One Way Street Literary Award Citation","brand":"南海出版公司","offers":[{"title":"Simplified Chinese \/ Hardcover","offer_id":46127509569775,"sku":"9787573505798","price":26.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0714\/4849\/4319\/files\/1QYvW9FASnpeArMdpFol0h5tXgJnTdGje_cdd93a77-200a-4418-b532-abe8582a6b89.jpg?v=1734596045"},{"product_id":"地心之旅-9787020182886","title":"Journey to the Center of the Earth","description":"\u003ch3\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/book.douban.com\/subject\/36615036\/\"\u003eDouban\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/neodb.social\/book\/3obQfgTrdSYxAJ8KFeJubU\"\u003eNeoDB\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003e◤We walked out of there and saw the numerous stars again. ——\"The Divine Comedy: Inferno\"◢\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e ★A journey of knowledge leading to the underground universe, a profound exploration of the world and oneself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e ★Sincerely recommended by Peking University professor Luo Xin, travel literature writer Liu Zichao, veteran outdoor media person Song Mingwei, and popular adventure up-host Extreme Exploration Wang Hao!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e ★Francesco Sauro, one of Time Magazine's \"Next Generation Leaders,\" winner of the Rolex \"Enthusiast\" Award, Director of the European Space Agency's CAVES Project, and world-renowned cave explorer and geologist, invites us on an eye-opening journey to the underground world!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Over twenty years of exploration experience, over forty expeditions, and over a hundred kilometers of newly mapped caves.

No schooling, no medical care—that was the loyalty and truth my father insisted upon us. He didn't allow us to have our own voices; our will was demonic to him. Harvard, Cambridge, a Master's in Philosophy, a PhD in History... I knew that a girl like me, a simpleton who had crawled from the garbage heap, should be filled with gratitude for achieving what she had. But I lacked the passion to do so.

This book is about my experiences driving around mainland China.\u003cbr\u003e In the summer of 2001, I obtained my Chinese driver's license. For the next seven years, I roamed the countryside and cities of China. These seven years also coincided with the rapid development of China's automobile industry. In Beijing alone, over a thousand new drivers applied for licenses every day. For several years, the annual growth rate of passenger car sales exceeded 50 percent. In just over two years, the Chinese government built more miles of rural roads than it had in the previous half century. \u003cbr\u003eThe book \"Finding My Way Through China\" follows several distinct themes. It begins with a 10,000-mile journey from the East China Sea coast, westward along the Great Wall, across northern China. Another strand focuses on a rural village transformed by the rapid development of China's auto industry, featuring a peasant family's transition from agriculture to commerce. Finally, it explores urban life in a small industrial town in southeastern China. This transformation, from agriculture to industry to commerce, and from rural to urban, depicted in the book, is the most significant change that has occurred in China since the reforms began in 1978. \u003cbr\u003e\"Finding Your Way Through China\" concludes my trilogy of nonfiction about China. It explores the economy, traces the origins of development, and explores individual responses to change. Like my previous two books, it examines China's core issues, but does so not through the lens of prominent political or cultural figures, nor through grand, overbearing analyses. Instead, it believes in revealing the essence of China's transformation through the experiences of ordinary Chinese people. I often stay in one place for months, even years, tracking the changes. I don't just listen to the subjects' own stories; I watch with wide eyes as their stories unfold before me. \u003cbr\u003eThese three books span my decade in China, from 1996 to 2007. This decade, at the turn of the century, was one of the most pivotal in Chinese history. It was during this decade that China's economy took off, and its influence on the outside world began to grow. More importantly, it was the first decade after Deng Xiaoping's death. During this decade, the face of Chinese history began to change, as large-scale political events and powerful leaders began to recede. Instead, the driving forces behind China's transformation became ordinary people—farmers moving to cities, entrepreneurs learning on the job. Their energy and determination were the defining factor of the past decade.

In Japan, 8 square meters is called \"shizuo\" (four and a half tatami mats), meaning it's a room that's only four and a half tatami mats long and offers low rent.\u003cbr\u003e Because her eight-square-meter room lacked a kitchen, refrigerator, bathroom, or washing machine, she enthusiastically wrote about the daily life of ordinary Japanese people, including their food, clothing, and shelter. Living in a cramped space, she extended her life to the city's streets and public spaces, writing about Tokyo's laundromats, sento baths, coffee shops, 24-hour manga cafes, independent cinemas, and small restaurants. She also wrote about the stories of ordinary Tokyoites she met.

The city can be a mobile home, and a person can be happy and self-sufficient. \u003cbr\u003eTokyo used to frequently rank near the top of the \"world's most expensive cities\" list, but this was merely the prejudice of foreign journalists who had only a superficial understanding of the city.

This new collection of essays by Japanese-Chinese writer Shinobu Yoshii is dedicated to those who are about to create a new life. -- Twenty years after leaving Japan, Shinobu Yoshii returned to Tokyo, rented an eight-square-meter room in the heart of Tokyo, and rebuilt her life there. Eight square meters is the origin of life, and the entire city of Tokyo is an extension of life. The detachment of material and spiritual things brings economic space and physical and mental freedom. Shinobu Yoshii's \"Eight Square Meters\" economics provides another possibility for life for every modern person who is exhausted physically and mentally: cherish the present moment, find the comfort and sense of belonging you need in your own way, and give yourself the energy to continue living tomorrow. \u003cbr\u003e★ How can you live comfortably in an eight-square-meter apartment without a kitchen, refrigerator, bathroom, or washing machine? A guide to exploring the new urban \"snail dwelling\" lifestyle in Tokyo. The city can be a mobile home, and a single person can be happy and self-sufficient. Because eight square meters is so cramped, daily life extends to Tokyo's streets and public spaces: laundromats, sento (hot springs), manga cafes, small restaurants, and coffee shops. There are also weekly trips to independent cinemas, rakugo (rakugo) theater, shamisen lessons, and exhibitions. Convenient and comfortable public spaces, a vibrant multicultural environment, and the energy of urban life—your \"small\" living space isn't a problem, because the world outside is vast. \u003cbr\u003e★ Everyone has their own \"eight square meters.\" Delve into the details of the city and visit the \"neighborhood,\" telling the stories of Tokyo's ordinary people and seeing the real ordinary people. In a lonely city, how do people find their own place and the meaning of existence? — In the bustling city, occasional encounters bring back gem-like memories: Mr. Osawa, the owner of Jinxingtang Café, known as the \"walking dictionary\"; the sharp and humorous hostess of Mako Café, who is almost ninety years old; the warm, kind and hardworking female owner of a soba noodle shop... The simple and sincere people of Tokyo and the flowing and timeless Tokyo scenery reveal the true face of life. \"I believe that everyone has their own eight square meters and their own definition of it. It refers not to the actual area, but to a place in the heart. While eight square meters may seem out of place to others, it allows you to live in your own world. It may be a place or a person where you don't have to pretend, you can face yourself and enjoy the present moment as much as possible.\" \u003cbr\u003eDesigned by renowned book cover designer Lu Zhichang, the book boasts a fresh, elegant design with a comfortable feel, cleverly echoing the \"four and a half tatami mats\" layout.

To get anywhere, you had to take a boat, which often went nowhere.

This kind of observation with a combination of intimacy and distance constitutes part of my life during my two-year stay in Sichuan.\u003cbr\u003e In 2001, when the book was published in the United States, a highway had opened to Chongqing, a railway was under construction, and boat trips to Fuling had virtually ceased. The city was developing at breakneck speed, and the sense of transformational change that had characterized China over the past two decades—incessant, relentless, and unstoppable—was a defining characteristic of the country. It was hard to believe that the country had once been something completely different, a nation that 19th-century Westerners considered \"perpetually stagnant.\" \u003cbr\u003eIn 2003, after the completion of the first phase of the Three Gorges Dam, the rising river waters would gradually submerge the cities along the river, which made me a little sad.

He could only stay up all night watching her, but given his age, he couldn't do that every day, so he still had to tie her hands. \"She cried 'Don't tie me,' and I felt so sad, what could I do... it was so painful.\"\u003cbr\u003eMeitang's confusion worsened, and one day she accused her husband of hiding her granddaughter and preventing her from seeing her.

This is a group of migrant workers who fill their extra-long working hours with physical labor. They seek their living space in the all-inclusive city of Shenzhen, coexisting with dirt and garbage, supporting the city's civilization's endless pursuit of tidiness and detail. Author Zhang Xiaoman's mother is one of these urban cleaners. Their initial reasons for settling in the city are so similar, and their life journeys are closely tied to the trajectory of societal development. They seek out their niches in Shenzhen, have their own social circles, know how to find opportunities, are very clear about their status in the overall class hierarchy, and speak of their work in a self-deprecating tone. They are a large group, yet they are always on the fringes of urban life; the city's \"tidiness,\" \"comfort,\" and \"convenience\" are almost unrelated to them.

My mother was a blue-collar worker who did physical labor all her life, while \"I\" was a white-collar worker who seemingly entered the \"decent class,\" which my mother always took pride in. As mother and daughter documented the stories of the cleaner community, \"I\" was able to look back at my origins and increasingly felt that many of my seemingly diligent actions and seemingly connected circles were actually vulnerable. \"I,\" like my mother and the cleaners, was someone who couldn't break free; we shared common origins. And in this process, my mother sadly realized that her children, who studied hard to succeed, ultimately just barely maintained a screw-like job in urban life, and with a slight mishap, could also slip out of \"mainstream life.\" Through the stories of the cleaner community, perhaps we can also reflect on our own situations and lives.

Books about singleness and non-motherhood are often written by married women with two or three children, in a (reassuringly) slightly provocative style. This book, on the other hand, is confident, joyful, and optimistic, drawing heavily on historical evidence to support its arguments. It prompts the question: Is it really worth the experience of legal marriage or cohabitation, or becoming a mother, putting yourself in chains, and raising children who may forget to repay you in your old age? However, the book's one weakness is the second section, which turns to personal accounts. The author recounts a loss, a case of professional burnout, and some tentative psychological explanations, which slightly weaken her argument. Nevertheless, this minor flaw does not detract from the book's overall value. As Simone de Beauvoir wrote, \"I will be my own cause and my own end.\" This book is definitely worth reading. \u003cbr\u003e——Goodreads readers⭐ The book comes with a \"She Says·Joyful Movement\" lifestyle manual, which contains more than 30 golden sentences + creative design + free doodles, allowing you to have fun reading freely.

She experiences the ups and downs of love, from obsession to withdrawal, and contemplates her own lifestyle as an older woman. She strives to achieve financial independence, purchasing a \"room of her own,\" while also facing societal prejudices against older women, such as being seen as parasites, frigid, and selfish. Yet, she perseveres in her choices, exploring the true meaning of love, life, and self-awareness. \"Older Women: Another Way of Life\" is a true record of her unique life journey. \u003cbr\u003e————————\u003cbr\u003e 【Experts and media recommendations】\u003cbr\u003e In an era of feminist books aplenty, this author recounts her experiences and reflections with unpretentiousness, producing a book that is both emotional and profound, and one that is irresistible from the first page.\u003cbr\u003e —Li Junpeng (Professor at the School of Social Sciences, Central China Normal University, and Editor-in-Chief of International Sociological Reviews) \u003cbr\u003eA timely work. Today, we have works that rehabilitate \"taboo\" emotions for women, highlight women's unpaid domestic labor, and expose the invisibility of women in science and medicine. But few explore single women, especially middle-aged single women. \"Old Girl\" breaks this silence. This short book reveals that a woman's singleness isn't necessarily due to trauma, frigidity, or lesbianism; it can also be a matter of her own choice. To paraphrase Mary Cock, \"I just don't have a partner or marriage, that's all.\" Let's remove the shackles that force girls into relationships. The world is already so violent, we can't stop being self-critical and becoming our own tyrants. Singleness is simply about \"reclaiming oneself,\" about \"taking back one's body, mind, and time.\"\u003cbr\u003e ——Hua Zhao, planning editor of \"So Angry\" This is a shocking essay that mixes autobiography and investigation.\u003cbr\u003e ——Le Figaro, a French women's bimonthly magazine \u003cbr\u003eThe old girl is no longer what she once was. No longer the doomed woman who couldn't find love, she is now liberated, eager, and captivating, taking charge of her own life outside the constraints of marriage and motherhood. Drawing on her own experiences as a single, childless woman in her forties, Mary Cock offers a rich, original, and often humorous reflection, drawing on examples from history, literature, and film—from medieval nuns to the wily Isabelle Huppert in François Ozon's \"The Eight Beauties\" to Balzac's Cousin Bette. It's not a manifesto, but a proposal for how to live a fulfilling single life.\u003cbr\u003e —Julie Dufour, Libération, France \u003cbr\u003eShe demonstrates, in a sensitive and convincing way, that what women lack most is time and the freedom that comes with it. To become an old girl requires at least the courage to not confine oneself to idealized and servile frameworks (such as couples and families), and to say no to the obvious and traditional customs. This is a new way of life.\u003cbr\u003e —Cécile Daumas, Libération\u003cbr\u003e As a new generation re-examines traditional family structures, this deeply personal essay demonstrates that it's possible to live a normal and fulfilling life without being in a relationship.\u003cbr\u003e —Jean-Laurent Cassely, French news weekly L'Express \u003cbr\u003eWeaving together fragments of autobiography (which can be painful), readings of the humanities, and scenes plucked from literature or film, Mary Coker writes like an offensive: slowly building up her ammunition, then suddenly swooping down on a stereotype, bombarding it with gathered evidence and witty wit. Whether you agree with it or not, it's a delight!\u003cbr\u003e —Eric Aeschimann, French news weekly L'Obscurité\u003cbr\u003e \"Old girls\" have a bad rap. In a bold essay, Mary Coke brilliantly redresses them.\u003cbr\u003e —Marie Fouquet, French magazine LH Le Mag \u003cbr\u003eThe old girl failed to fulfill her role as a woman—not to bear children, not to be anyone's wife—and yet possessed an inheritance that would never be passed down. This was unacceptable to the liberal society that had been burgeoning since the 19th century, and the inheritance game had been shaping the coming capitalist society ever since. Equally unacceptable was the idea that a woman without a man was a woman without value. Yet, beneath each anecdote in the book lies the author's astonishingly rich inner world. Her free time forced her to contemplate the meaning of existence, allowing her to accumulate diverse experiences, learn to understand and listen to herself, and achieve a rare tranquility, the kind that comes with being alone. As the author puts it, stopping the search for a man was not only \"a revelation,\" but also the beginning of a search for herself, a reflection on what she loves and the path she wants to take.\u003cbr\u003e —Emma Poesy, French independent cultural media Maze","brand":"广东人民出版社","offers":[{"title":"Simplified Chinese \/ Hardcover","offer_id":46233059033327,"sku":"9787218180250","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0714\/4849\/4319\/files\/1aLKjx1suluGdroDaaEp6gMlird3wVlwm_bf92649b-def1-4190-b378-806fc32f7f27.jpg?v=1738964344"},{"product_id":"往事与随想-9787220105142","title":"Past Events and Random Thoughts","description":"A great monument of Russian literature, it grasped its destiny in the torrent of history and upheld human goodness and freedom. ◎ Editor's recommendation ◆ Herzen was a great fighter against the tsarist autocracy in Russia, who influenced generations of thinkers and revolutionaries in Russia, Europe and even the world.\u003cbr\u003e ◆ The history described in the book is extensive, with characters such as Napoleon I, Alexander I, Nicholas I, Belinsky, Chaadayev, Bakunin, Mazzini, Proudhon, and Napoleon III appearing one after another, vividly and interestingly.\u003cbr\u003e ◆ This book not only tells history and analyzes human nature, but is also a masterpiece of free thought, highly praised by the great thinker Isaiah Berlin.\u003cbr\u003e ◆ Herzen was a thinker and writer who influenced the writing of Leo Tolstoy.

His narratives and reflections often remind me of Paul Theroux. —Xu Zhiyuan, writer and founder of One Way Space. Liu Zichao's travels are unlike those of ordinary tourists. He possesses a true traveler's perspective, delving into the streets and alleys, engaging with people, and carrying on a truly remarkable tradition of travel literature. —Luo Xin, professor of history at Peking University. \"Since The Lost Satellite, I've rediscovered travel literature, or perhaps it's Liu Zichao who has shattered my preconceptions about travel writing.\" His new book, Arriving Before Midnight, remains as captivating as ever. His accounts of what he saw and heard are unpretentious and vivid, but more than that, what interests me most is his reflections, because the author's vision, thoughts, and even heart determine the depth and meaning of travel. Many of the places in the book are places I haven't visited, yet I didn't feel unfamiliar. On the contrary, they felt familiar, as if he were describing places and lives familiar to me—past, present, and even future. A good travelogue can be truly captivating. I believe that even readers who haven't visited the places described in the book will feel a deeper connection to the stories than most who have, because the author's extraordinary sensitivity and unique perspective can better restore the truth of life itself. —Li Jian, singer I used to have a prejudice that travel literature was a genre exclusive to English-language writers, like \"The Sea and Sardinia\" or \"To the Land of the Amu Darya,\" who were more like masters of this world. Liu Zichao's book corrected my prejudice. He wandered across Central Europe, through the morning mist, and produced this excellent work: We are all passers-by, but we also own this world. —Miao Wei, writer Liu Zichao's works are characterized by a concise prose style, a unique sense of humor, curiosity, and adventurous spirit, making them a pleasure to read. Liu Zichao is a keen observer of human nature and a very talented writer. —Jon Lee Anderson, senior reporter for The New Yorker","brand":"文汇出版社","offers":[{"title":"Simplified Chinese \/ Hardcover","offer_id":46242006499567,"sku":"9787549635511","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0714\/4849\/4319\/files\/1FTvdwNvIiPcqirGPdmzTofs5EFD6hDP.jpg?v=1738966136"},{"product_id":"我所告诉你关于那座山的一切-9787522521916","title":"Everything I told you about that mountain","description":"Travel begins with doubts, and life answers with writing.\u003cbr\u003e Pure and elusive, this is the soul journey of a mountain boy. \u003cbr\u003e\"If you die one day \/ I think I will go traveling \/ I have to make sure whether the world is good \/ and worth your experience for its charm \/\"\u003cbr\u003e ⛰Editor's Recommendation☆ A Heart Returning from the Mountains and a Book of New Life\u003cbr\u003e In the spring of 2017, Liu Chenjun and his travel companion, Liang Shengyue, set out from India on a mountaineering trip to Nepal. En route, they encountered unusually heavy snowfall for the season, trapping them in a cave. By the time the search and rescue team found them on the 47th day of their entrapment, Liu Chenjun had passed away three days earlier. His travel companions brought back the manuscripts he had been carrying. With the consent of his family, Liu Chenjun's close friends collaborated with Taiwan's Chunshan Publishing House to compile his travelogues, poems, letters, and diaries into the book, \"Everything I Told You About That Mountain.\" \u003cbr\u003eA child's fierce exploration, a masterpiece of Taiwanese nature literature. We witness a young man's pure pursuit of the unknown, and also sense a profound philosophical reflection far beyond his years. Liu Chenjun takes the mountain as his core (\"The ridgeline is \/ a mountain's accumulated silence over thousands of years\"), extending from the physical to a broader context (\"The value of a travel companion lies in their mutual witnessing of this vast world through silence and backs\"). Upon arriving in India, he immediately perceives the disappearance of the local people through their exodus (\"Death is a conspiracy of the city\"). Accompanying his external journey is a constant, intense internal dialogue, and even when trapped, he continues to write. Liu Chenjun fully demonstrates a writing about nature that is inextricably linked to journey, speculation, and life and death.\u003cbr\u003e ☆ Transcending private remembrance, refining the positive significance of public publishing. Faced with an unprecedented shift in coverage, the Taiwanese team shifted from a commemorative collection to a collection of emerging figures, breaking up the chronological order and simulating a process of getting to know a person. They returned to the essence of literature, meticulously and quietly responding to public memory bit by bit, reconstructing the true image of a writer. \u003cbr\u003e☆ The original intention of distant mountains, a pure and enduring tranquility amidst the vastness. The binding designer utilizes the solidity of the outer cover's \"high-grade fine grid\" and the inner cover's \"economical cow card\" texture, while adding the smoothness of the waistband's \"Japanese advertising paper\" to create a delicately balanced tactile experience. Visually, the imagery encompasses blue sky, sandy hills, and black earth, with gilded edges outlined against the vastness, evoking the mountain within each person.\u003cbr\u003e ⛰Introduction\u003cbr\u003e Nineteen-year-old Liu Chenjun is perpetually on his way to the mountains. This young man calls travel \"moving\" and mountain climbing \"walking the mountain path,\" exploring the world with pure gestures and words. From India to Nepal, Liu Chenjun candidly reveals the emotional torment of his journeys; trapped in a cave, he embraces fear yet remains hopeful; and his reflections on life, literature, and love never cease. All of this, captured in travelogues, poems, and journals, bear witness to a keen and profound soul, and allow us to experience its perseverance and confusion, its quest and heartache. \u003cbr\u003e⛰Celebrity Recommendation☆ His writing can no longer be measured solely by literature; it is the naked radiance of life. What's rare is that he always possesses a high degree of self-awareness as a writer, constantly lingering, wandering, and reflecting, a cold dissector of himself and the world he has experienced. At the same time, this is the burning fire of a pure heart. He not only understands the mountains, but also the human condition. He writes about the ordinary lives that crisscross the snow and mud as if he were writing the lines of his own palm, deeply and skillfully following the veins of language to enter the veins of the world, with a precision far beyond that of someone his age. - Liao Weitang (Hong Kong writer) \u003cbr\u003e☆ In this intense, almost brutal, stark contrast, honesty becomes the first and ultimate pure purpose. In letters to friends, whispers with loved ones, and profound interactions with the mountains and forests, each record evokes unanswered questions from within. These sketches, however, have the power to penetrate the pages, even to the point of self-destruction and embarrassment for others… The book is filled with the living words of the innocent, untamed, eager to resist, unbridled and fearless, constantly emptying themselves to expand their travels, encompassing unexplored mountains, unreached places, and the uninterrupted self-reflection of their hearts. — Lian Mingwei (Taiwanese writer)\u003cbr\u003e How to confront death and create a lasting legacy became the challenge facing the Taiwanese editorial team. It was here that the editorial team demonstrated a meticulous and sophisticated interpretation. Their most fundamental and crucial concept was to not position this book as a commemorative collection, but rather as a literary debutante. Thus, the compilation and publication of this book exemplifies the author's unique rebirth. —Tong Wei-ge (Taiwanese writer) \u003cbr\u003e⛰Media Recommendation☆ The author immersed himself in the world of mountains, listening to the life and death of all things, practicing using words to touch the indescribable truth of the senses until his physical death. The words are as pure as a blade that leaves no fingerprints. Although most of the cuts are debris, they still make people feel the youth's lifelong dedication to writing, bright and regretless. In this mountaineering record that feels like a death performance, the author exhausts all his energy, raising the profound questions of existence in every subtle feeling, calmly yet tragically, igniting a cold and strange fire of sacrificing himself for literature. - \"Openbook Reading Journal\" (Taiwanese book review media) \u003cbr\u003e☆ Liu Chenjun's heart is tied to the mountains, and his soul also perishes in the mountains. This book collects the travel notes, poems, letters and diaries to relatives and friends, essays, etc. of Liu Chenjun, a Taiwanese mountain friend, before his death, recording the bits and pieces before the end of his life. Even though the whole book is inevitably shrouded by the author's gaze at the end, he still walked out with the posture of a walker. But he is a walker and a dreamer at the same time. He follows, examines, and then finds that he can only recognize the closest things, such as palm prints or the back of his lover's neck. The mountain is complete, the road is firm, but what Chenjun has is a sensitivity to fragmentation and the impossibility of completeness. This sensitivity is simply too great in contrast to his youth. ——\"Zihua\" (Hong Kong literary magazine) \u003cbr\u003e⛰Award Records☆ Won the 2019 \"Taiwan Openbook Good Book Award\" Chinese Creation☆ Won the 2019 \"Taiwan Mirror Culture Annual Good Book\" Chinese Creation☆ Won the 2020 \"Taiwan Literature Award\" Golden Classic Award☆ Selected as the 2019 \"Taiwan Eslite Reading Artisan Award\" Bookstore Artisans' Most Wanted Seller☆ Selected as the 2019 \"Taiwan Friendly Book Industry\" Literature Annual Sales Ranking Top Ten☆ Selected as the 2020 \"Hong Kong Renaissance Award\" Pure Literature Award","brand":"九州出版社","offers":[{"title":"Simplified Chinese \/ Paperback","offer_id":46242015281391,"sku":"9787522521916","price":23.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0714\/4849\/4319\/files\/1TRne6_QCRQh-PsxVPBqJGYFxOSzd22xk.jpg?v=1738966391"},{"product_id":"苏东坡传-9787540484880","title":"Biography of Su Dongpo","description":"Exclusively licensed by Lin Yutang, this book was completely revised in 2018.

This is a travelogue of wandering, yet it tells stories of people searching for home. The ghosts of history loom over this Southern European peninsula, as queer individuals and poets, refugees and drug dealers, murderers and victims, believers and merchants all make an appearance. In Slovenia, he stumbles into a poetry salon, witnessing poets' efforts to rebuild their homeland with words in a country so small it's easy to overlook. In a border town in Croatia, he sees the afterglow of a bygone empire, discovering past elegance in an old waiter.

Author Solomon Malka travels through time and space, tracing Levinas's life: from his childhood in the small Lithuanian town of Kaunas to pre-war Paris and the Nazi concentration camps; from Davos to Leuven, from the Vatican to Tel Aviv; from the corridors of the Eastern Israel Normal School to the lecture halls of the Sorbonne; from his obscurity and solitary labor to his global recognition. \u003cbr\u003eThis book depicts the life of Levinas, tracing the key figures who intertwined his life: his close friends Maurice Blanchot and Jean Wahl, his mentor, Mr. Choshani; his significant influences, Husserl, Heidegger, and Rosenzweig; and his interlocutors, Paul Ricoeur, Jacques Derrida, and Pope John Paul II. This biography offers a unique glimpse into the 20th century. Its strength lies in its full exploration of Levinas's Jewishness and its faithful presentation of the balance he struck between his identity as a philosopher and his Jewishness. This is the key to understanding Levinas.\u003cbr\u003e Editor's Recommendation: Emmanuel Levinas was a renowned 20th-century French philosopher and Jewish thinker. A survivor of the Nazi concentration camps, his experience profoundly influenced his thought. Western and Jewish coexist in this philosopher who explored the \"other.\" \u003cbr\u003eThis biography, by Solomon Malka, has studied with Levinas since his youth. After Levinas's death in 1995, Malka spent five years preparing this biography. This book comprehensively chronicles Levinas's life and intellectual development, from his birth in Eastern Europe to his studies in France and Germany and his rise to fame in France.\u003cbr\u003e Levinas is both a quintessential 20th-century French philosopher, developing a series of important philosophical concepts such as being, having, and the other. He is also a 100% Jewish thinker, whose unique Jewish cultural way of thinking and living permeated his life. This book faithfully recreates Levinas's dual nature, focusing on both the brilliance of the Talmud and Socratic philosophical speculation.\u003cbr\u003e This book belongs to the \"Mnemosyne\" series of Cogito.\u003cbr\u003e ◎ The industry recommends that my thoughts benefit from three people: Heidegger, Blanchot, and Levinas. \u003cbr\u003e—Jacques Derrida I really appreciated and understood all those great pages in Totality and Infinity about the family. … Before Derrida, only Levinas had spoken about it in this way.\u003cbr\u003e While Paul Ricoeur's philosophy is often a decontextualized intellectual enterprise, Levinas's philosophy needs to be re-contextualized within his life to be better understood. Insomnia, ennui, escape, responsibility, and hostages—a series of thought-provoking philosophical concepts—need to be activated through lived experience. As Levinas said, we cannot separate the message we receive from the face of our essential interlocutor. Solomon Malka's biography presents us with a vivid portrayal of Levinas as his interlocutor.\u003cbr\u003e ——Sun Xiangchen (Dean of the School of Philosophy, Fudan University) \u003cbr\u003eThis biography weaves together the author's memories of Levinas, interviews with his family and friends, and visits to the \"places\" of his life... These constitute Levinas's \"traces.\" Through these \"traces,\" we simultaneously draw closer to Levinas, yet at the same time, he becomes even more unfamiliar to us. We witness his ordinary yet sacred daily life, which both helps us understand his thought and seems even more distant than his thought. Through these \"traces,\" we are both close to him and far away from him, precisely the \"closeness\" that Levinas articulates: Levinas is both the object of understanding and remains the Other.\u003cbr\u003e —Wang Jiajun (Professor of Chinese Language and Literature, East China Normal University)\u003cbr\u003e Mencius once said, \"Is it possible to praise his poems and read his books without knowing the man?\" This is especially true of Levinas: his philosophy is inextricably linked to the education and suffering he endured as a Jew. This biography allows us to more truly \"know the man,\" thereby better enabling us to \"read his books\" and immerse ourselves in his thoughts.\u003cbr\u003e ——Zhu Gang (Professor of the Department of Philosophy, Sun Yat-sen University) \u003cbr\u003eAs a philosopher, Levinas consistently rejected the separation of what is said from the act of saying it. This means that a person's words should be witnessed by their actions and life. Otherwise, all lofty rhetoric and scholarly truths are nothing but deceptive rhetoric. This biography captivates us. It not only records the traces of Levinas's life but also bears witness to his philosophy. In this era of overflowing speech and thought, we are naturally concerned to see whether these gripping arguments can be witnessed by the actions and lives of those who speak them.\u003cbr\u003e ——Liu Wenjin (Professor of Chinese Language and Literature, East China Normal University)\u003cbr\u003e Faced with the human dilemma wrought by the Holocaust, Levinas, a survivor of the Nazi concentration camps, proposed ethics as \"first philosophy.\" In his interpretation of Jewish classics, he endowed ethics with a sacredness that transcended all religious concepts. Perhaps Levinas was not as highly regarded as his peers, appearing \"too Jewish\"; and as a Jew, he was criticized by his fellow Jews for being \"Christian.\" Yet, it is precisely in his often misinterpreted words that we discover love, \"Pascal's 'love without greed.'\" \u003cbr\u003e——Zhang Yinhong (Young Scholar)\u003cbr\u003e A great mind, a solitary journey, a life of speculation: Levinas has always been a stranger in Western civilization, pondering the most difficult philosophical questions in solitude.\u003cbr\u003e —Gong Weimin (Translator of this book)","brand":"广西师范大学出版社｜我思Cogito","offers":[{"title":"Simplified Chinese \/ Hardcover","offer_id":46242030944495,"sku":"9787559842855","price":22.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0714\/4849\/4319\/files\/1Ifzo7ii22nCSy9HRLbXc359CWrwfAFCy.jpg?v=1738966940"},{"product_id":"维特根斯坦传-9787308086141","title":"Wittgenstein's biography","description":"Wittgenstein, one of the most important philosophers of the 20th century and the founder of linguistic philosophy, is the subject of this book.

These interviews, published in newspapers, magazines, and journals worldwide, are perhaps the world's most valuable and vivid collection of Baudrillard's thoughts.\u003cbr\u003e — About this book —\u003cbr\u003e ☆It is an interview, but also a life travelogue☆25 sincere and profound interviews, 40 years of critical and pursuing life - About the author Jean Baudrillard - \u003cbr\u003e☆A master of social thought, a pastor of postmodernism, an intellectual terrorist☆A son of the mountains with a peasant soul, a sought-after academic star, a wanderer on a journey☆A profound and calm critic, a sincere and humorous interviewee, a traveler on the long river of life - Editor's Recommendation -\u003cbr\u003e Baudrillard is not only a profound and calm critic, but also a sincere and humorous interviewee, and a passenger on the long river of life.\u003cbr\u003e As a critic, he is well known: he employs concepts like simulacrum, simulation, and seduction to expose the virtuality, indifference, and emptiness that follow the disappearance of reality in the postmodern world. When we lose our unique identity and our sense of agency, he uses this indifference and emptiness as a strategy to allow the emergence of truly operational forms. This is his unique optimism. \u003cbr\u003eAs the son of a farmer, he inherited a lazy and rebellious streak. He didn't follow a traditional academic path, rejecting the role and stance of an intellectual within the academy. He began to explore cross-disciplinary fields, dabbling in photography, and, thanks to a spiritual journey, rose to fame across the Pacific, becoming a sensational cultural icon. \"At twenty, I was a patriot, at forty a utopian, at fifty, I crossed boundaries, and at sixty, I became viral and tropistic. That's my entire story.\"\u003cbr\u003e This postmodern master tells you his thoughts and life over the past 40 years in these 25 interviews.","brand":"上海人民出版社","offers":[{"title":"Simplified Chinese \/ Paperback","offer_id":46242039595247,"sku":"9787208176065","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0714\/4849\/4319\/files\/1Fz7ODkdqBXsvwgCChyBndh8_cOi2AWjX.jpg?v=1738967289"},{"product_id":"桑塔格传-9787544791724","title":"Biography of Susan Sontag","description":"○ 2020 Pulitzer Prize-winning masterpiece ○ Highly recommended by The Guardian, The New York Times, The Times Literary Supplement, The Atlantic Monthly, The Oprah Magazine, and others ○ 868 pages, nearly 100 precious photos, the author spent seven years interviewing nearly 600 people, and carefully studying the massive amount of primary data from the \"Sontag Papers\" at the University of California, USA. This is the most comprehensive, complete, and profound biography of Sontag to date. [Brief Introduction] \u003cbr\u003eAs an icon of 20th-century American culture, Sontag is hailed as \"the conscience of the American public,\" her life inextricably linked to the cultural development of the United States and the world. She was both defiant and restless, deified and misunderstood, praised and criticized. She rebelled against the sterility of imagination, rejected mediocrity, embraced critical thinking and aesthetics, and left behind a rich legacy of work. Through extensive research and interviews, in-depth archival materials, and a return to textual interpretation, the author keenly captures the subtleties and hidden spiritual core of Sontag's personality and life, exploring the fascinating private life behind her formidable public persona: the fractured relationships, the physical and spiritual struggles, and the conversations on sex, art, politics, and literature—all of which inspired, shattered, and ultimately shaped her remarkable work, presenting \"Sontag\" and her life as a metaphor.\u003cbr\u003e 【Media Recommendation】 \u003cbr\u003eWe need Sontag now more than ever, and this biography allows her to continue to live without fear: argumentative, headstrong, often right, always funny, and encouraging us to improve ourselves as we see the best of her.\u003cbr\u003e —The Guardian\u003cbr\u003e A landmark biography.\u003cbr\u003e —The New York Times\u003cbr\u003e Moser, with his confidence and erudition, draws together all the contradictions of Sontag—earnest, passionate, driven, generous, self-obsessed, otherworldly, slow-witted, maddening, sometimes endearing but not entirely endearing—into a biography that perfectly fits her.\u003cbr\u003e —The Times Literary Supplement\u003cbr\u003e A figure as remarkable as Susan Sontag deserves a remarkable book… Moser’s monumental work, at once nuanced and magnificent, is a masterpiece tailor-made for the writer and philosopher who “forged icons and then broke them.”\u003cbr\u003e —The Oprah Magazine \u003cbr\u003eIt's already difficult to imagine American culture without Susan Sontag's contributions; it will soon be difficult to imagine Sontag's life without Benjamin Moser's account. A life as significant as Sontag's demands a significant biography. That need is now fully met in this monumental work, and it far exceeds its intended purpose.\u003cbr\u003e —Michael Cunningham, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Hours \"A stunning, irresistible book, like a brilliant mystery novel (even for someone who knows what's going to happen next!). I can't imagine the need for another book about her life. Sue, Susan, Sontag, Susan Sontag... this character emerges in all her wonderful, terrible, and astonishing complexities. This is it!

These moving letters reveal the evolution of his thought while also providing an intimate picture of Benjamin and his times.\u003cbr\u003e ◆Collaborated by 20th-century German-Jewish thinker Gershom Scholem and famous German philosopher Theodor W. Adorno.\u003cbr\u003e ◆Jin Xiaoyu’s latest translation vividly presents Benjamin’s natural and extraordinary letter-writing style.\u003cbr\u003e ◆More than 330 precious letters, spanning 30 years, bear witness to the friendship, loneliness and pure will of a generation of geniuses during their years of exile.\u003cbr\u003e ◆The spiritual journey of the last European intellectual, the eternal traveler on the threshold, and the only true critic of German literature.\u003cbr\u003e ——————\u003cbr\u003e This collection of letters contains over 300 letters by the German thinker Walter Benjamin, edited, chronologically compiled, and annotated by Scholem and Adorno. It showcases Benjamin's profound knowledge and unique literary style, reveals the evolution of his thought, and offers insights into his relationships with thinkers and figures of his time. It is a valuable reference for understanding European culture and intellectual figures in the first half of the 20th century. \u003cbr\u003eIn this collection of letters, Benjamin discusses literature, intellectual trends, creation, social life, travel, work, and life. Reflections on Kafka permeate the book, and the most important thinkers of the 20th century, including Gerhard Scholem, Theodor Adorno, Hannah Arendt, Bertolt Brecht, Rainer Maria Rilke, Ernst Bloch, Karl Kraus, and Martin Buber, all make appearances. A new generation of readers can immerse themselves in the vanishing world of German-Jewish intellectuals.\u003cbr\u003e ——————\u003cbr\u003e Benjamin was a great letter writer, clearly passionate about his writing. Despite two wars, Hitler's Reich, and exile, many of his letters have survived... Letters became a form of literature for him.\u003cbr\u003e Letter writing simulates a kind of vitality within the rigid medium of words. In it, one can deny isolation and yet remain alienated, alone.\u003cbr\u003e —Theodor W. Adorno These letters take us through the years when Benjamin was completely withdrawn, even invisible, to the period when he was active as a writer and journalist. \u003cbr\u003e—Gershom Scholem Even the more casual and momentarily optimistic contents of these letters are shrouded in a profound sadness. They were sent at a time when Europe was in the grip of a nightmare... Yet, in its own right, this is a delightful book. It celebrates the elixir of intellectual passion—the capacity of the human mind and nervous system to indulge in abstract speculative interests, even or especially in the face of personal adversity and sorrow.\u003cbr\u003e —George Steiner, The New Yorker \u003cbr\u003eThe relationship between Walter Benjamin and Gershom Scholem is undoubtedly one of the most extraordinary friendships of the 20th century. Benjamin, a critic, and Scholem, a historian, were not only foremost innovative thinkers who transformed the intellectual landscape of their respective fields, but they also engaged in a quarter-century-long struggle over intellectual and spiritual questions that remain pressing today. Despite their divergent life paths, despite the most soul-testing historical circumstances, the moral fiber of their friendship, at a human level, proved resilient and tenacious. The correspondence between Benjamin and Scholem was written out of an unyielding loneliness—not complete isolation, but the loneliness of genius, as they bucked the tide of their times and put forward \"radical demands\" that political reality could not satisfy...\u003cbr\u003e —Robert Alter, The New Republic","brand":"光启书局","offers":[{"title":"Simplified Chinese \/ Hardcover","offer_id":46242079998191,"sku":"9787545220117","price":58.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0714\/4849\/4319\/files\/1MFzAkSfghWWY6BaPQ3zX_7vSHs4aTmek.jpg?v=1738968661"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0714\/4849\/4319\/collections\/dfa3d5d5aba85466c119f381ddf1393d.webp?v=1745526784","url":"https:\/\/unboundsf.co\/en\/collections\/%e7%ba%aa%e5%ae%9e%e6%96%87%e5%ad%a6.oembed?page=7","provider":"格外 Unbound 书店","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
