山羊豆、牛膝菊、金盏花,还有萹蓄、牛蒡、猪殃殃……在你眼里,它们是怡人的闲花野草,还是可恶的农业公害?是原野上野火烧不尽、春风吹又生的生命力象征,还是花园里离经叛道的麻烦制造者?
理查德·梅比被《泰晤士报》誉为“当代不列颠伟大的博物学作家”,在他笔下,杂草不再是园艺爱好者的敌人,而是机敏顽强的漫游者,是年年岁岁与我们照面的邻人,是自然与文明、野生与驯养交汇处的游民,是饱受严重污染摧残的大地向人类发出的警示。路边毫不起眼的杂草,让我们学会如何在自然的边界上生存。
--------------------------
▼内容简介▼
英国博物学作家理查德·梅比说,杂草的定义取决于人类看待它们的方式。
杂草和我们比邻而居,梅比一方面为自然界不被待见的植物辩护,一方面从历史、小说、诗歌、戏剧和民间故事中钩沉杂草与人类的复杂关系。
文明背后的野性从未走远。一部人类与自然的博弈史,同时也是一幅庞大的杂草迁徙与流浪图景。
--------------------------
▼媒体评论▼
植物在他笔下丰饶茂盛,作为博物学家,理查德•梅比俨然是自然的一部分……《杂草的故事》为流浪的植物辩护,他的写作愈深入,对战斗在边缘的自然敬意就愈重。
——《卫报》
一部具有讽刺意味但是又妙不可言的图书……梅比哀而不伤地认为,经过一个时代的沧桑巨变,杂草也许是我们硕果仅存的唯一。
——《纽约时报书评》
《杂草的故事》提醒人们以更宏大的时空视野、非人类中心论的视角看待植物。
——刘华杰

极佳的科普。知识越多乐趣越多。我颇认识一部分杂草,在提到熟悉的名字的时候,脑海中能出现相关的图像,并且对其中的梗心领神会。“每有会意便欣然”大概就是这种感觉了?本书针对人类与杂草相关的各种问题都有所着墨,浅尝辄止但并不肤浅。我最喜欢的部分是关于“人类小时候”对杂草的拣选,尼罗河流域的工人(是的,他们吃的很好,地位体面,是最早的“工人阶级”)、杂草和宗教/草药以及美国草坪文化的几章。都是我感兴趣的话题而且学到了不知道的事情ww

The Moon And Sixpence Douban
9.4 (7 ratings) author: W. Somerset Maugham publishing house: Penguin Classics 2005
Book Description
It seems unthinkable that Charles Strickland, the dull, bourgeois city gent, would have the tortured soul of a genius. Yet Strickland is driven to abandon his home, wife, and children to devote himself slavishly to painting. In a tiny studio in Paris he fills canvas after canvas, refusing to sell or even exhibit his work. Beset by poverty, sickness, and his own intransigent nature, he drifts to Tahiti, where, even after being blinded by leprosy, he produces some of his most extraordinary works of art. First published in 1919 and inspired by the life of Paul Gauguin, The Moon and Sixpence is a study of a man possessed by the need to create - regardless of the cost to himself or others.

De Profundis
8.3 (127 ratings) author: [爱尔兰] 奥斯卡·王尔德 translator: 朱纯深 publishing house: 译林出版社 2008 - 4
我人生有两大转折点:一是父亲送我进牛津,一是社会送我进监狱。碰上你,对我是危险的,而在那个特定时候碰上你,对我则成了致命。命运将我们两个互不相干的生命丝丝缕缕编成了一个血红的图案,你的确真心爱过我。即使你拒绝收我的信,我也会照写不误,这样你就会知道,不管怎样,总是有信在等着你。
《自深深处》是王尔德写给他的同性恋伙伴道格拉斯的一封长信,这封信是王尔德在牢狱生活的最后几个月内写成的,信中充满了以道格拉斯爱恨交织的情绪,同时还集中阐述了王尔德的艺术观、生活观。
Of Human Bondage Douban
author: W. Somerset Maugham publishing house: Modern Library 1999 - 6
It is very difficult for a writer of my generation, if he is honest, to pretend indifference to the work of Somerset Maugham," wrote Gore Vidal. "He was always so entirely there."
Originally published in 1915, Of Human Bondage is a potent expression of the power of sexual obsession and of modern man's yearning for freedom. This classic bildungsroman tells the story of Philip Carey, a sensitive boy born with a clubfoot who is orphaned and raised by a religious aunt and uncle. Philip yearns for adventure, and at eighteen leaves home, eventually pursuing a career as an artist in Paris. When he returns to London to study medicine, he meets the androgynous but alluring Mildred and begins a doomed love affair that will change the course of his life. There is no more powerful story of sexual infatuation, of human longing for connection and freedom.
"Here is a novel of the utmost importance," wrote Theodore Dreiser on publication. "It is a beacon of light by which the wanderer may be guided. . . . One feels as though one were sitting before a splendid Shiraz of priceless texture and intricate weave, admiring, feeling, responding sensually to its colors and tones." With an Introduction by Gore Vidal Commentary by Theodore Dreiser and Graham Greene

胡林的儿女 Douban
The Children of Hurin
8.5 (22 ratings) author: [英] J.R.R.托尔金 translator: 马骁 publishing house: 译林出版社 2009 - 4
在魔戒时代之前遥远的第一纪元,精灵和人类的军队在泪雨之战中惨败,黑暗魔王魔苟斯囚禁了人类领袖胡林,对他的一双儿女——图林和妮诺尔降下毒咒。胡林被迫透过魔苟斯的眼睛目睹自己骨肉的遭遇:精灵、矮人、兽人、格劳龙等奇幻角色在中土大地纷纷登场,图林这个刚毅的男儿在魔苟斯的邪念作弄下,亦是在自身孤傲性格的驱使下,一步步走向他人生的宿命。曲折离奇的故事中包含了珍贵的友谊、美丽的爱情和彻骨的悲怆。
《魔戒》作者托尔金于1918年开始创作胡林儿女的故事,与“贝伦和露西安”以及“贡多林的陷落”被视为托尔金创造的中土世界最重要的三大故事骨干。他一生不断修改,留下大量遗稿,最终由他的儿子克里斯托弗·托尔金整理成书。
伊利亚随笔选 Douban
author: [英] 查尔斯·兰姆 translator: 刘炳善 publishing house: 上海译文出版社 2012 - 4
《伊利亚随笔选》荟萃了英国著名作家查尔斯·兰姆(Charles Lamb,1775—1834)最出色的随笔作品,堪称十九世纪英国文学的瑰宝。在这些随笔中,兰姆以“伊利亚”为笔名,从日常作息、家长里短切人,将平生感念娓娓道来;随笔主题既与兰姆本人的独特经历水乳交融,又浸淫于广阔深挚的人道主义氖围;文风含蓄迂回之余,亦不失情真意切,纤毫毕现地展示了英式随笔的至高境界。正如三十年代我国作家梁遇舂所言:对于心灵的创伤,兰姆是一剂“止血的良药”。《伊利亚随笔选》选录了《伊利亚随笔》中的主要作品,包括《南海公司回忆》、《除夕随想》等诸多名篇。著名翻译家刘炳善先生的译文精到而隽永,恰到好处地传达了兰姆独树一帜的文字魅力。

每天醒来,克丽丝汀都身处一个陌生的房间,身旁躺着一个不认识的男人。

克丽丝汀的记忆只能保持一天,每天醒来,就再也不记得昨天发生过事。关于她世界里的一切,全部只能由本告知。不过每一天,她也会接到陌生的纳什医生来电,要她到衣橱后方找出日记。原来,克丽丝汀在睡前会写下今天的事作为“备忘录”,提醒明天失忆的自己。
就这样,克丽丝汀借着日记的累积,一天天重建了自己的历史,但细节渐渐和本以及纳什医生的说法产生矛盾。他到底该相信谁?
今天醒来,她翻开日记,只见第一页写着:别相信本。

Shark’s Fin and Sichuan Pepper
8.1 (390 ratings) author: [英] 扶霞·邓洛普 translator: 何雨珈 publishing house: 上海译文出版社 2018 - 7 other title: 鱼翅与花椒
扶霞是我的好友,也是我认识的所有外国人中,非常了解中国烹饪的一位。这本屡获殊荣的《鱼翅与花椒》无疑是很多外国人写中国食物的书籍里极为鲜活有趣和精准的 。——陈晓卿(“舌尖上的中国”总导演)
这里是中国,一个奇妙的饮食大国。
这是关于中国菜的故事,也是一个英国女孩的中国历险记。
扶霞一九九四年前往中国长住。打从一开始她就发誓不论人家请她吃什么,不管那食物有多么古怪,她一律来者不拒:第一次与四川料理相遇时的神魂颠倒、亲眼目睹鸡鸭被宰杀时的惊吓、体验千变万化的刀 工、对养生饮食的叹服、品尝珍稀野味时内心的道德两难……
透过扶霞的眼睛,我们得以用全新的角度来了解熟悉的中国菜。不同地方的食物拥有其独一无二的气质:川菜的辣带着一丝丝甜,就像悠闲的四川人,总是带着甜甜的体贴;湘菜直接又毫无妥协余地,就跟那里培养出来的领袖人物一样;扬州菜则是太平盛世的食物,温暖而抚慰人心。
从四川热闹的市场到甘肃北部荒僻的风景,从福建的深山到迷人的扬州古城,书中呈现了中式料理让人难忘的美妙滋味,也深刻描绘出中西饮食文化差异,且兼具人文观察与幽默趣味。
1984 Douban Douban
9.6 (67 ratings) author: [英] 乔治·奥威尔 publishing house: New American Library 1961 - 1
The year 1984 has come and gone, but George Orwell's prophetic, nightmarish vision in 1949 of the world we were becoming is timelier than ever. 1984 ...more [close] The year 1984 has come and gone, but George Orwell's prophetic, nightmarish vision in 1949 of the world we were becoming is timelier than ever. 1984 is still the great modern classic of "negative utopia"--a startlingly original and haunting novel that creates an imaginary world that is completely convincing, from the first sentence to the last four words. No one can deny the novel's hold on the imaginations of the whole generations, or the power of its admonitions--a power that seem to grow, not lessen, with the passage of time.
