Castle in the Air
Castle in the Air
Jones, Diana Wynne
¥44.73
Abdullah was a young and not very prosperous carpet dealer. His father, who had been disappointed in him, had left him only enough money to open a modest booth in the Bazaar. When he was not selling carpets, Abdullah spent his time daydreaming. In his dreams he was not the son of his father, but the long-lost son of a prince. There was also a princess who had been betrothed to him at birth. He was content with his life and his daydreams until, one day, a stranger sold him a magic carpet. In this stunning sequel to Howl's Moving Castle, Diana Wynne Jones has again created a large-scale, fast-paced fantasy in which people and things are never quite what they seem. There are good and bad djinns, a genie in a bottle, wizards, witches, cats and dogs (but are they cats and dogs?), and a mysterious floating castle filled with kidnapped princesses, as well as two puzzling prophecies. The story speeds along with tantalizing twists and turns until the prophecies are fulfilled, true identities are revealed, and all is resolved in a totally satisfying, breathtaking, surprise-filled ending.

A Packhorse Called Rachel
A Packhorse Called Rachel
Marcelle Kellermann
¥24.44
A story of courage, fear and defiance based on the authors own personal experience. A Pack Horse Called Rachel is the remarkable tale of a young woman, half Jewish, caught in the extraordinarily brutal world of France in 1944. Rachel moves through the pages of the book with her faithful dog Nourse, touching lives as her work with the Maquis based in the Auvergne takes her perilously close to danger on a day to day basis.The story is based on personal experience, the de*ion of historical events is as true as memory will allow, it is an elegantly written story capturing first hand Kellermann’s painful and lonely life as a resistance fighter within the ‘Maquis’, amidst the harsh beauty of the Auvergne. Beset by the freezing cold climate prevailing in winter, the Vichy traitors amongst the normal French Population and the hostility of ordinary people afraid for their own lives. Rachel overcomes the initial animosity and mistrust of the lecherous and alcoholic farmer Raboullet on whom she comes to rely; the wrath of the Gestapo, the betrayal of St Pré, a full and passionate love affair, tragic loss and yet she survives. Marcel Kellermann notes, with de*ive talent, and intricate detail that only someone especially observant could recall. From the opening raid to the closing trial, the book gives an incisive view, as we understand the mind and soul of the resistance better with each page. This is the story of a young woman paralleled with the struggle of a nation as it regains its courage to fight back.

何東花園
何東花園
鄭宏泰,黃紹倫
¥51.34
"屹立於港島山巔的何東花園,可說是香港獨特歷史與文化的「The One」與「The Icon」。它不但記錄了英國殖民管治時期的種族歧視政策,還折射出早期香港的公共衞生惡劣和瘟疫頻頻。而大宅糅合中西的建築風格,又與香港屬中國領土但被割讓為英國殖民地的背景同工異曲,並與何東家族屬歐亞混血族裔的性質理氣相通。同樣不容忽略的是,大宅象徵了何東家族紮根香港、社會地位往上流動,以及何東平妻張靜蓉的特立獨行和貢獻社會。本書的一段一句、一畫一圖,既描繪了歷史的一鱗半爪,亦展示了時代的不斷變貌。由購地畫則興建大宅,到物業易主後進行加建,又曾遭逢劫難,被戰火摧殘破毁,然後是修葺,以及不同年代的擴建,何東花園不但訴說了香港的非凡故事,亦勾勒了中國近代史的迂迴跌宕。"
