Gambler
Dostoyevsky, Fyodor
¥19.52
Fyodor Dostoyevsky wrote 'The Gambler' after losing most of his money by gambling and entering into a hazardous contract with F. T. Stellovsky that if he did not deliver a novel of 12 or more signatures by 1 November 1866, Stellovsky would acquire the right to publish Dostoevsky's works for nine years without any compensation to the writer. The book is therefore a very accurate and personal portrayal of the allure of gambling, and the damage it can do.

England's Secret Weapon
England's Secret Weapon
Field, Amanda
¥88.19
England's Secret Weapon explores the way Hollywood used Sherlock Holmes in a series of fourteen films spanning the years of World War II in Europe, from The Hound of the Baskervilles in 1939 to Dressed to Kill in 1946. Basil Rathbone's portrayal of Holmes has influenced every actor who has since played him on film, TV, stage and radio, yet the film series has, until now, been neglected in terms of detailed critical analysis. The book looks at the films themselves in combination with their historical context and examines how the studio 'updated' Holmes and recruited him to fight the Nazis, steering a careful course between modernising the detective and making sure he was still recognisable as the 'old Holmes' in clothes, locations and behaviour.

哈利·波特与历史
[法]达米安·布里多诺(Damien Bridonneau)
¥47.60
罗琳(J. K. Rowling)的“哈利·波特”系列自1997年问世以来,透过小说和电影,这部饶富魔法趣味的作品已经成功引了全球数百万读者,各地的粉丝与罗琳的作品也一起成长,无论是当代的优秀作家或学者,都从中汲取过灵感。 这本书的作者从英国的神话和传奇角度出发,解读了罗琳的“哈利·波特”系列。本书广涉英国历史与斯堪地纳维亚中古文学等领域,带领读者追踪哈利·波特中隐藏的历史谱系,诸如纯血统巫师是否为诺曼人的反映、伏地魔是否为寻求恢复的专制君主、邓布利多是否为前凯尔特人德鲁伊哲学家、霍格沃茨魔法学校的各种象征的涵义等问题。作者认为,神话和传奇在某种程度上启发了人们的想象力和文学创作的欲望,因此在研究和理解人类文明史中占有一席之地。古欧洲的传说、中世纪文学、古典文学和近现代文学都是藉由集体想象力的渗透作用,C.S.刘易斯、J.R.R.托尔金、J.K.罗琳等作为现当代英国幻想文学的代表,其作品中体现的文明精神内核不容忽视。
