The resonance from the beginning of the century fills the present moment, until the passion that once existed reshapes itself in an increasingly complete order.\u003cbr\u003e ※ From a remote American town to a basement called \"Windbreak\" somewhere in Nanjing, from a southbound train packed with Luo Dayou fans to the defunct Shanghai Dimei Underground City, Zhou Jianing writes about friendship, love, and dreams in the tide of the times, providing readers with \"a clean and bright place\" in the form of a novel. \u003cbr\u003eThis book includes three novellas written by Zhou Jianing from 2019 to the present: \"Goodbye Solar Eclipse\" (2019), \"Landscape of Waves\" (2021), and \"Tomorrow's Party\" (2022).\u003cbr\u003e \"Goodbye Solar Eclipse\": Japanese writer Taku Mitsushima returns to the small town of Paonia after twenty years, reuniting with friends from his youth. Meanwhile, the Chinese girl, Quan, with her secret past, has long been lost to the depths of the world, preserved only in Taku's fictional language. Now, in this utopia where lakes, meadows, and forests meet, a funeral has concluded, and a solar eclipse is about to be witnessed.\u003cbr\u003e \"The Landscape of Waves\": As if to continue an old dream from the end of the century, \"I\" and Qunqing joined the ranks of the new century's trendsetters, renting a stall in the Dimei Underground City and starting a clothing business. In the tide of the times, friendship, love, money, and dreams were lifted high, then quickly swept away, leaving a trail of foam. Standing before the pyramid on the beach, \"I\" decided not to be a victim trapped in memories, but to extend my arms and send a signal of courage to the universe. \u003cbr\u003e\"Tomorrow's Party\": Zhang Zhou, the host of a late-night music show, connects the friendships of \"me,\" Wang Lu, Xiao Xiao, and the \"Combat Command\" group like a formless wave. We journey through Shanghai, Nanjing, Beijing, and Taipei at the turn of the century, attempting to build a \"Tomorrow's Party\" about musical dreams in a virtual space and time, nestled in the Yangtze River Estuary wetlands. However, under the pressure of the times, nothing seems to hold. The survivors drift downstream, grateful, landing on one side of the river and waving to the other.","brand":"上海文艺出版社","offers":[{"title":"Simplified Chinese \/ Hardcover","offer_id":46085141201135,"sku":"9787532182244","price":26.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0714\/4849\/4319\/files\/1DobzZCbFQ2mKGEQ7ADkUWSVZMGKvzZen.jpg?v=1734602873"},{"product_id":"明亮的夜晚-9787516835265","title":"Bright Night","description":"I have a desire to write about my mother or grandmother, the women who lived on this land long ago.\u003cbr\u003e A female version of \"To Live,\" the friendship, struggle, tears, and laughter of four generations of women. 220,000 readers of South Korea's largest online bookstore voted it \"Book of the Year 2021\"\u003cbr\u003e Winner of the 29th Dashan Literature Award, the first novel by talented writer Choi Eun-young!\u003cbr\u003e Women are no longer mere characters for sympathy and pity, nor are they supporting roles that embellish men's magnificent lives. \u003cbr\u003eThey are themselves, living like insignificant grass, supporting each other and doing their best to fight against the absurd times.\u003cbr\u003e -------------------\u003cbr\u003e After divorcing my husband, at 31, I traveled alone to the coastal town of Xiling, where I ran into my grandmother, whom I hadn't seen in years.

These illustrations, hidden in the corners of the magazine, feature black and white lines and a naturally understated minimalist design. Each page of the 64-page format is a single image, a silent film played continuously on paper. ★ Editor's Recommendation ◎ Tracing The New Yorker's artistic philosophy through this series of small illustrations, a collection of cartooning masters' reflections on this form over the years. Small illustrations, a humble form of painting, are common in everyday life—transitions between magazine paragraphs, decorations on household items, diagrams in instruction manuals... They perform tasks related to typography and embellishment. The small nature of small illustrations gives them a distinct artistic language from other painting forms.\u003cbr\u003e The New Yorker is renowned for its elegant, simple design style, often tinged with humor. Since its founding, illustrations have been an integral part of the publication. The New Yorker favors small illustrations, fully utilizing their individuality to create a striking finishing touch within its typographical design. \u003cbr\u003eOver the past few decades, with the prevalence of digital typesetting, the need for small illustrations to fill space has decreased. Today, The New Yorker assigns all the illustrations in an issue to the same artist, focusing on the overall and interesting nature of the illustrations. Richard McGuire is an expert in this.\u003cbr\u003e Richard McGuire's groundbreaking novel, Here, has garnered numerous accolades. It reached the New York Times bestseller list, was named Book of the Year, and won the Grand Prix at the Angoulême Festival in 2016. Besides being a cartoonist, McGuire is also a multi-talented writer, children's book illustrator, animator, toy maker, and a longtime illustrator for The New Yorker.\u003cbr\u003e \"Chats Between Objects\" contains small illustrations he created for The New Yorker between 2005 and 2015. These illustrations are diverse in style and full of fun, complementing the artistic style of The New Yorker. \u003cbr\u003eA pocket-sized book with a simple binding, showcasing the artistic qualities of the illustrations from beginning to end. This book, featuring an ultra-small 64-mo format, showcases the unique character and charm of the illustrations. The book compiles the illustrations, previously hidden throughout The New Yorker, into a single volume, presenting each one individually. The result is a portable, almost entirely image-based book.\u003cbr\u003e The Chinese edition features a design for both inner and outer covers. The jacket is made of translucent tracing paper, which highlights the lines of the inner cover. Removing the jacket reveals the simple inner cover pattern. The designs on the front, back, and endpapers are all part of a series of illustrations, designed to capture the subtle yet intriguing qualities of these illustrations.\u003cbr\u003e The main text is in the form of one page and one picture. Readers can open from a certain page in the book, pick up the series from a certain illustration, and then read forward or backward, restoring the casual and free reading experience when flipping through the New Yorker series of illustrations, and feeling the subtle connections between these illustrations. \u003cbr\u003eVignettes serve as both unobtrusive decorative elements within a magazine and unique eye-catchers. Unlike illustrations in articles, vignette elements are not as important as the text itself, but they serve to enhance the layout. This inherently understated quality gives vignette elements a distinct flavor. While a series of vignette elements are continuous and narrative, they are independent of the articles and columns, scattered throughout the magazine. In a subtle way, they become a unique element in the magazine's language.\u003cbr\u003e Due to their small size, vignettes often feature clean lines and cartoon-like characters, lending them an inherently humorous quality. Vignettes within a series often share a common form or style, ranging from experimental, like bisected faces or elongated grids, to narrative, like the daily lives of three distinct neighbors or a playful encounter in the cramped confines of an elevator. \u003cbr\u003eThree objects on the street form a \"brotherhood of suffering,\" silently sharing spring, summer, autumn, and winter. A hallway, like a silent bystander, witnesses the daily lives of three distinct neighbors. A few household items on the sink seem to \"gossip\" with one another... These humorous images are the work of Richard McGuire, a series of small illustrations he has created for The New Yorker magazine since 2005. These wordless, continuous images, once supporting characters in magazines, now serve as the protagonists of a book. They are like silent films, with their bustling drama and moments of silence amidst the clamor.\u003cbr\u003e ★ Recommended by the media McGuire's unique and masterful handling of narrative shines again... McGuire gives us another original and delightful work that is as spontaneous, ingenious and energetic as the painter himself.\u003cbr\u003e —James Ye, The New York Times \u003cbr\u003eIn these small illustrations, McGuire combines the clean lines of comics with a compelling idea, the playfulness of scientific observation, and hints at a story. Each vignette, and each series, is meticulously observed and delightfully connected. Why are these illustrations so captivating? Because of their meticulous attention to detail, and because of their simplicity and elegance.\u003cbr\u003e —Sarah Larson, The New Yorker","brand":"湖南美术出版社","offers":[{"title":"Simplified Chinese \/ Hardcover","offer_id":46127507865839,"sku":"9787574600959","price":35.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0714\/4849\/4319\/files\/1Pd2W2LA2Ht3wkiDhGRk_0Ae1CXHGjYP4_f2a0b2fe-e386-468e-afd4-ae415f565224.jpg?v=1734596000"},{"product_id":"旅行之木-9787559809513","title":"Travel Wood","description":"Editor's Recommendation:\u003cbr\u003e 1.

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.

She also wrote about the stories of ordinary Tokyoites she met. These characters are \"invisible, real Tokyoites,\" and their stories reveal the diverse lives of Japanese society and reflect our own. \u003cbr\u003eIn the lonely city, how can one find a place to call home and a sense of purpose? Yoshii Shinobu's \"eight-square-meter economy\" offers a glimpse into the possibilities of a fresh and vibrant life: saving on expensive rent, simplifying material needs, and enjoying a rich spiritual and cultural life in the city. The city can be a mobile home, where a single person can be happy and self-sufficient.\u003cbr\u003e *\u003cbr\u003e 【Specially recommended】\u003cbr\u003e *\u003cbr\u003e In the lonely city, how can one find a place of their own and a purpose for existence? Yoshii Shinobu's \"eight-square-meter economy\" offers a glimpse into the possibilities of a fresh and vibrant life: saving on expensive rent, simplifying material needs, enjoying a rich cultural life in the city, and finding comfort and a sense of belonging in one's own way. 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. I've long harbored this dissatisfaction, believing Tokyo is actually a great place to live, and it's been the driving force behind my numerous articles and books on Tokyo.\u003cbr\u003e Tokyo, Kyoto, Shanghai, Beijing... No matter the city, Yoshii is adept at finding reasonably priced housing. Sometimes her abode is barely big enough for sleeping, but just outside, convenient city amenities are always within reach. Your favorite restaurant becomes your dining room, a coffee shop your living room, a bookstore or library your study, a gym your bathroom with a sauna.\u003cbr\u003e Yoshii understood the secret of this \"urban survival technique\" perfectly: treating the city as an extension of one's own home and using it to their advantage. It's like an animal instinctively finding the most comfortable place to nest, and then, when the time comes, simply leaving the nest and flying away.\u003cbr\u003e —Kyouichi Tsuzuki (independent editor and photographer)\u003cbr\u003e *\u003cbr\u003e 【Editor's Recommendation】\u003cbr\u003e * \u003cbr\u003e★ Living in eight square meters, you own the whole world. Shinobu Yoshii's \"Eight Square Meters\" economics shows another possibility for urban life. 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. Photography by renowned photographer Kyoichi Tsuzuki and writer Shinobu Yoshii. Over a hundred color images capture the dynamic landscape of \"eight square meters\" and the city of Tokyo. Printed on elegant, soft-touch, lightweight paper, the book is perfect for everyday reading and travel.","brand":"上海三联书店","offers":[{"title":"Simplified Chinese \/ Paperback","offer_id":46127519072495,"sku":"9787542678652","price":26.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0714\/4849\/4319\/files\/1CDcs3smEQ2foBcb0FU1TiwuDuiMJgljU_454d3279-f696-4e7d-a80a-9e9b9c899e36.jpg?v=1734596143"},{"product_id":"江城-9787532756728","title":"Jiangcheng","description":"On a warm and clear night in late August 1996, I set out from Chongqing and took a slow boat down the river to Fuling.\u003cbr\u003e Fuling had no railways and was historically a poor region of Sichuan Province, with terrible roads. To get anywhere, you had to take a boat, which often went nowhere. For the next two years, this city became my home.\u003cbr\u003e Here, I am sometimes a bystander and sometimes immersed in local life. 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. For most Chinese people, this is the opposite of constant change: poverty, bad roads, and slow boats.\u003cbr\u003e This is not a book about China; it is about a small part of China during a very specific period of time. Geographically and historically, Fuling is located in the middle of a river, so it is sometimes difficult to see where it came from and where it is going.\u003cbr\u003e I learned to love Fuling between 1996 and 1998.

The civil war almost engulfed the entire Liu Song dynasty and subsequently escalated into a war with Northern Wei. Wang Zhong'er, born into a middle-class bureaucratic family in the Southern Dynasties, was forced into the conflict, her family destroyed. Two years later, at the age of thirty, she was taken as an ordinary palace maid to Pingcheng. However, her fate unexpectedly became intertwined with the \"son honored, mother killed\" system, drawing her into a vortex of power struggles. As a palace maid and then a Buddhist nun, she became a pivotal figure in raising two generations of emperors, living in the Northern Wei court for fifty-six years.\n\nProfessor Luo Xin uses epitaphs and other historical materials to recount Wang Zhong'er's long and tumultuous life, viewing the era through her eyes. He reconstructs emperors, empresses, imperial relatives, court officials, eunuchs, and palace maids as concrete individuals, observing their joy, suspicion, arrogance, and despair in the face of power. Wang Zhong'er's life story unfolds alongside nearly eighty years of Northern Wei history, from Emperor Xianwen and Emperor Xiaowen to Emperor Xuanwu and Emperor Xiaoming, as well as the many people swept away by the turbulent currents of the era.\n\nWe focus on ordinary people from distant times because they are an integral part of real history; without them, history is incomplete and unreal.\n\nLuo Xin, born in Hubei in 1963, is a professor at the Center for Ancient Chinese History and the Department of History at Peking University.

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":"血与蜜之地-9787549643295","title":"Land of Blood and Honey","description":"From north to south, from winter to spring, renowned travel writer Liu Zichao embarks on another journey, leading us through the Balkan Peninsula, a land flowing with blood and honey. Across 8 countries and 23 towns—Italy, Slovenia, Croatia, Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, North Macedonia, and Greece—he once again witnesses the fragmented yet vast expanse of the other side of the world. 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. In Montenegro, he meets a woman who works as a call-taker for an American pizza chain, surprised by Americans' appetites but unable to taste the pizza herself. He encounters the godfather of e-commerce in Serbia, who embraces the tide of commercialization, seeing a world that is smooth and without resistance. He meets a generation that grew up during the Greek economic crisis, shouting leftist slogans and proudly declaring, \"We are also a Balkan country.\" The Balkans become more than just a geographical concept; it's like an adjective, fraught with complex meanings of pain, struggle, exploration, and hope. Traversing the long shadow of history, arriving at scenes marked by bullet holes, and collecting the bloody tales of wanderers along the way, he explores a more universal question, one that begins in the Balkans but resonates with each of us: in these uncertain times, where do we find home? Liu Zichao graduated from the Department of Chinese Language and Literature at Peking University and previously worked for \"Southern People Weekly\" and \"GQ China.\" His published works include \"Arriving Before Midnight,\" \"Following the Monsoon,\" and \"Lost Satellites.\" He has also translated \"The City of Marvels,\" \"A Moveable Feast,\" and \"The Long Goodbye.\" In 2019, his long-form non-fiction work on Central Asia was awarded the \"Global True Story Award\" Special Recognition; in 2021, he was named \"One-Way Street Bookstore Literary Award - Annual Young Writer.\"","brand":"文匯出版社","offers":[{"title":"Simplified Chinese \/ Hardcover","offer_id":46242025832687,"sku":"9787549643295","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0714\/4849\/4319\/files\/10N9wXBwghOV3IKDweHTzIObAkUThUzBa.jpg?v=1738966785"},{"product_id":"爱是地狱冥犬-9787567557529","title":"Love is the Hound of Hell","description":"The first copyrighted poetry collection of Bukowski in China.

The author restored 75 Song Dynasty delicacies based on the records in Song and Yuan Dynasty classics such as \"Shan Jia Qing Gong\" and \"Zhong Kui Lu\". It is arranged by season and covers three levels: court dishes, literati dishes and civilian dishes. It involves eight categories: hot meat dishes, vegetarian dishes, cold dishes, soups, porridge and noodles, cakes and pastries, beverages, and fruits. It comes with detailed ingredient configuration and preparation step-by-step diagrams, making it easy to get started.\u003cbr\u003e It is an essay, following the author as he strolls through the markets and countryside of the Song Dynasty: what is the story behind each dish, what is new on the vegetable market stalls, what is the excitement of the Cold Food Festival, the Double Ninth Festival, and the Spring and Autumn Festival, what stories and jokes have been left by famous literati and scholars about \"eating\"...all the historical scenes can be traced.\u003cbr\u003e It also showcases the aesthetics of the Song people, collecting Song Dynasty paintings, calligraphy, and pictures of Tang and Song Dynasty artifacts to restore the context of the time, including flower viewing, burning incense, playing with objects... extending from \"eating\" to appreciate a charming era that combines elegance and vulgarity.\u003cbr\u003e Song Banquet is a feast of Song Dynasty culture, full of color, fragrance and taste, leading you to rediscover the charm of traditional culture.\u003cbr\u003e ================== \u003cbr\u003eAfter years of research, the author of \"Song Banquet\" reproduced the delicacies described in ancient books of the Song Dynasty in an innovative way, taking readers back to the vegetable markets, kitchens and dining tables of the ancients thousands of years ago, for a vivid and lively cultural feast, and discovering the moving context of China's traditional lifestyle.\u003cbr\u003e The text tells the story along with ancient texts, ancient paintings, and celebrity anecdotes that have been passed down to this day.\u003cbr\u003e People in the Song Dynasty knew how to enjoy delicious food. A simple bowl of noodles could be made into six or seven shapes, eight or nine ingredients, and more than ten flavors.\u003cbr\u003e Familiar dishes like sauerkraut noodles, dyed noodles, and cold noodles already appeared on the tables of the Song dynasty.

The Silk Road flourished, and trade prospered in the East. Elephant chariots toured the Eastern Empire, with animal hides and golden tents, and giant jars filled with purple jade juice. The Yuan Dynasty's lavish banquets were accompanied by four departments and six bureaus, thriving restaurants, and numerous teahouses. The people of Jiangnan during the Song Dynasty also enjoyed a fusion of Mongolian and Han cuisine.\u003cbr\u003e Crispy venison, drum skewers, delicate fish...\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Following the power of \"Song Yan\", we reproduce the dishes from ancient books.\u003cbr\u003e Show you a little-known \"dining table of the Yuan Dynasty\"\u003cbr\u003e This book is the new work of the author of \"Song Banquet\", which continues the characteristics of the previous work: using contemporary ingredients and preparation steps to restore the delicacies recorded in ancient books, combined with essays explaining the historical background of the food, presenting a food culture work with cultural depth and rich picture materials. \u003cbr\u003e\"Yuan Yan\" examines ancient books such as \"Yinshi Zhengyao\", \"Jujia Biyong Shilei Quanji\" and \"Yunlintang Food System Collection\" that record the cuisine of the Yuan Dynasty, and restores and presents 35 Yuan Dynasty delicacies, arranged in order of main ingredients (beef, mutton, poultry, seafood, vegetables and fruits), covering hot dishes, cold dishes, soups, noodles, and drinks, with detailed preparation step-by-step diagrams. At the same time, it uses Yuan Dynasty songs, dramas, calligraphy and painting documents to outline the customs and culture of the Yuan Dynasty.\u003cbr\u003e The Yuan Dynasty was vast and ethnically diverse, resulting in vast variations in natural products, culinary techniques, and flavors across different regions. The Mongols, during their campaigns east and west, encountered and integrated the culinary cultures of Central and Western Asia. Furthermore, various ethnic groups entered the Yuan Dynasty as officials, missionaries, and merchants, bringing foreign cuisine to the people, which then blended with local cuisine. Consequently, compared to previous works, this book features dishes that utilize more mutton and dairy products, with Northwestern and Central Asian influences, showcasing the unique blend of ethnic groups and exchanges between the north and south during the Yuan Dynasty. While the total number of dishes included has been reduced, the book offers a more detailed and in-depth exploration of subsequent culinary culture and historical customs.\u003cbr\u003e 【Editor's Recommendation】 \u003cbr\u003eThe author has devoted years of meticulous research, writing, and revising the two books in the series, \"Song Banquet\" and \"Yuan Banquet,\" while also working on subsequent works. He has become a leading figure in the study of Song Dynasty culinary culture, serving as a project developer for De Shou Palace in Hangzhou and as a historical consultant for the television series \"Dream of the Red Chamber.\" He has also participated in numerous documentaries, including the Douyin video \"Delicious Food in Ancient Books,\" and holds multiple influential roles.\u003cbr\u003e Yuan Dynasty cuisine, while continuing the traditions of the Song Dynasty, possessed distinct characteristics, with many dishes still found in Northwest China and Central Asia today. However, relatively few publications on the subject have been published, making this book unique. The author's previous work, \"Song Banquet,\" was selected as one of the top ten books by the Beijing News in 2018. Since its publication, the author has garnered considerable recognition through invitations to participate in documentaries and serve as a historical consultant for the television series \"Dream of Splendor.\" The book's popularity has remained strong, with strong sales since its publication. \u003cbr\u003eThe book \"Yuan Yan\" has a creative perspective that other similar books do not have. It easily narrows the distance between readers and seemingly obscure ancient books through the careful recording and slow production of \"daily vegetables and meals\", which seems to be a distant ancient culture thousands of years ago. It allows people to naturally develop an interest, practice and spread it, and thus develop a sense of belonging and love for traditional culture.","brand":"中信出版社","offers":[{"title":"Simplified Chinese \/ Hardcover","offer_id":46242035794159,"sku":"9787521766684","price":55.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0714\/4849\/4319\/files\/1LJnDeGqEomub-CRYwbdbTGfJGGuf4mKM.jpg?v=1738967180"},{"product_id":"我们赖以生存的隐喻-9787308143172","title":"Metaphors We Live By","description":"This book, a classic in contemporary linguistics, is widely recognized as the beginning of the systematic study of metaphor in cognitive linguistics and has had a profound influence on metaphor research internationally.

In this book, the author uses trout fishing and camping trips, which were popular in American society at that time, as keywords, and uses \"trout fishing in America\" ​​as a protagonist with ever-changing identities to string together a series of trout fishing trips that shuttle back and forth in time and space, between fiction and reality.\u003cbr\u003e Brautigan's dual identity as both a poet and a novelist gives Trout Fishing in America both the form of a novel and the substance of poetry, seamlessly shifting between these two literary styles and modes of thought.

Through his writing, everyday life seems to be cast under a spell, taking on aspects of the world we could never dream of. \u003cbr\u003eAs a novelist, Brautigan possesses a quirky sense of humor, often tinged with madness and cruelty, his humor and whimsical ideas constantly revolve around the theme of death, yet remain lighthearted.

It once sold over two million copies as an American novel, translated into 26 languages ​​in dozens of countries. Yet, he was nearly forgotten, only officially published in Chinese half a century later. Richard Brautigan, a forgotten poet, was also a cultural icon of the Summer of Love. The unique tranquility and poetry of his work led Ken Kesey to call him \"the American Matsuo Basho.\" One Sunday in September 1984, Brautigan shot himself in the head with a .44 Magnum bullet, ending his despair. He wrote in the poem, \"The world isn't over yet, just like this book, it's only just beginning.\" \u003cbr\u003eAvant-garde writer Zhu Yue's special article introduces: \"Brautigen is both a poet and a novelist.
