級暢銷書《令人戰慄的格林童話》、《世界惡女大全》作者,再度挑戰異色尺度最新力作!
「同性戀」、「亂倫」、「羅莉塔情結」、「施虐癖」、「同類相食」,
禁忌之愛令人望而生畏,卻也誘惑難擋;是道德毒藥,卻也是藝術家的繆斯。
勇於挑戰禁忌,就是一件美好的事。
因為同性戀情的滋潤,英國文豪王爾德寫出《快樂王子》等名作,天才詩人魏崙和韓波留下動人的詩篇。
如果不曾踰越「亂倫」這條道德界線,浪漫派詩人拜倫無法寫詩,艾蜜莉.勃朗特的名作《咆哮山莊》也不會問世。
英國殺人魔「開膛手傑克」惡名昭彰,然而百年來也偷走無數作家與導演的心。
喜劇大師卓別林和獨裁狂人希特勒是同道中人,他們都無法抵抗少女嬌豔欲滴的雙唇。
萬千讀者悄聲傳頌,就是不願錯過薩德伯爵在索多瑪城那一百二十天……
「另類考古學女王」桐生操再次挖掘人們愛聽、想說卻又只敢避人耳目悄悄說的禁忌話題,內容包括「同性戀」、「亂倫」、「羅莉塔情結」、「施虐癖」、「同類相食(食人)」等五大主題、29則令人瞠目又嘆聲連連的精彩軼事。
它們都不是八卦或天方夜譚,它們就在我們身邊,這些永不褪色的異色話題直到今日仍然上演著……。
我這個對於禁忌這種東西實在沒有抵抗力,在學校的書局看到的剎那就毫不猶豫的哪起來了(真糟糕),而且又是桐生操的東西,其實故事成分又超強,而且疑似看起來有獵奇,所以我還是把它打開了.....
馬修.史坎頓 - 隱字書 (Endymion Spring)

布雷克不喜歡唸書,卻也忍不住受吸引,想踏上那忽隱忽現的文字路徑,搞清楚它們通往何處。但他沒料到,在這世上最古老的圖書館裡,有個巨大而善惡未知的祕密,將他捲入五百年前的文字風暴,跟當時仍被視為妖術的印刷術之發明者古騰堡有了不可思議的連結……
一則跨越五世紀的天書奇譚
這本巧妙結合了印刷歷史和童年奇幻的驚悚小說,在英國甫一出版,各大媒體便讚嘆不斷。它以15世紀印刷術為起點,以學術重鎮牛津為現代舞台,引經據典的傳說與充滿詩意的文筆,讓讀者彷彿隨著布雷克的冒險,重拾小時候第一次翻開書本的經驗,那種剛開始戰戰兢兢、有點好奇、又有點危險,最後解開謎團的興奮感,一輩子難以忘記,也替印刷文字迷人而強大的力量下了最好的註腳。
感言:這本書老實說我是被他的簡介給吸引過去的,其中又看著譯者強大的翻譯文字,所以就打算借了,我必須說前面布雷克在牛津圖書館找到那本空白的書時,我整個看的很興奮,而且其中作者其實也在描述父母的爭吵想要離婚,對小孩子來說是多大的傷害。
不過這本書沒有想像中的精采,畫面的確是像電影那樣,但是感覺就是缺少了一些很重要的感覺,看博客來上面的反應很兩極,我個人比較偏向這本書:內容較淺。我想這個作者五年或十年後再改寫自己這本書,應該就會非常完美!
不過我非常讚賞他們出版社用心的排版阿,感覺很身歷其境,好比說Endymion Spring空白頁出現的寓言詩,書裡面呈現的字體也非常的不同,然後Endymion Spring空白頁出現整頁黑色,書的呈現也非常棒的出現整頁的黑(印刷廠很好沒有不均勻)

One of the most celebrated and controversial authors in America delivers his first novel—a sweeping chronicle of contemporary Los Angeles that is bold, exhilarating, and utterly original.
Dozens of characters pass across the reader’s sight lines—some never to be seen again—but James Frey lingers on a handful of LA’s lost souls and captures the dramatic narrative of their lives: a bright, ambitious young Mexican-American woman who allows her future to be undone by a moment of searing humiliation; a supremely narcissistic action-movie star whose passion for the unattainable object of his affection nearly destroys him; a couple, both nineteen years old, who flee their suffocating hometown and struggle to survive on the fringes of the great city; and an aging Venice Beach alcoholic whose life is turned upside down when a meth-addled teenage girl shows up half-dead outside the restroom he calls home.
Throughout this strikingly powerful novel there is the relentless drumbeat of the millions of other stories that, taken as a whole, describe a city, a culture, and an age. A dazzling tour de force, Bright Shiny Morning illuminates the joys, horrors, and unexpected fortunes of life and death in Los Angeles.

Taking us from Afghanistan in the final days of the monarchy to the present, The Kite Runner is the unforgettable and beautifully told story of the friendship between two boys growing up in Kabul. Raised in the same household and sharing the same wet nurse, Amir and Hassan grow up in different worlds: Amir is the son of a prominent and wealthy man, while Hassan, the son of Amir’s father’s servant, is a Hazara — a shunned ethnic minority. Their intertwined lives, and their fates, reflect the eventual tragedy of the world around them. When Amir and his father flee the country for a new life in California, Amir thinks that he has escaped his past. And yet he cannot leave the memory of Hassan behind him.
The Kite Runner is a novel about friendship and betrayal, and about the price of loyalty. It is about the bonds between fathers and sons, and the power of fathers over sons — their love, their sacrifices, and their lies. Written against a backdrop of history that has not been told in fiction before, The Kite Runner describes the rich culture and beauty of a land in the process of being destroyed. But through the devastation, Khaled Hosseini offers hope: through the novel’s faith in the power of reading and storytelling, and in the possibilities he shows us for redemption.
