The Wisdom of Father Brown
¥40.79
Two men appeared simultaneously at the two ends of a sort of passage running along the side of the Apollo Theatre in the Adelphi. The evening daylight in the streets was large and luminous, opalescent and empty. The passage was comparatively long and dark, so each man could see the other as a mere black silhouette at the other end. Nevertheless, each man knew the other, even in that inky outline; for they were both men of striking appearance and they hated each other.

Our Friend the Charlatan

As he waited for his breakfast, never served to time, Mr. Lashmar drummed upon the window-pane, and seemed to watch a blackbird lunching with much gusto about the moist lawn of Alverholme Vicarage. But his gaze was absent and worried. The countenance of the reverend gentleman rarely wore any other expression, for he took to heart all human miseries and follies, and lived in a ceaseless mild indignation against the tenor of the age.

Farewell, Damascus
¥73.49
Ghada Samman’s most recent novel,? Farewell, Damascus ?is set in early 1960’s Damascus – a city that now languishes in the grip of corruption and political oppression following the Baathist takeover in Syria. The book opens as Zain Khayyal, a university student and aspiring young writer, plots an early-morning escape from her house as her husband slumbers. Her mission: to get an illicit abortion, plans for which she’s divulged to no one, and to announce that she wants out of her stifling marriage. A rebel and a trail-blazer par excellence, Zain draws down the wrath of polite society and the authorities, political and religious alike, as she challenges attitudes and practices that demean rather than dignify, and a ruling regime that sucks the life out of both oppressed and oppressor. As the plot unfolds, Zain finds her way as a student to a neighbouring country which, though it grants her the freedom, respect and appreciation she had lacked in her homeland, becomes a place of anguished exile. Armed with her accustomed humour, pathos and knack for suspense, Samman fearlessly tackles issues that roil societies across the globe to this day: the stigma that attaches to the divorced woman but not the divorced man; whether to choose a life partner for love, or for social status, prestige and material security; whether abortion is a crime or a means of forestalling needless undeserved suffering; lesbian intimacy as a declaration of freedom from male abuse and tyranny; rape as an instrument of humiliation and subjugation and unconditional acceptance as healing balm.? Farewell, Damascus ?is both a paean to a beloved homeland and an ode to human dignity.
走出现代性的困境——法兰克福学派现代性批判理论
¥29.33
法兰克福学派学者内部虽然存在着不同的思想趋势,但是他们思考着同一个核心问题:分裂社会中那些孤立的人们如何整合起来?对他们来说,现代资本主义社会的分裂有各种原因:或者是由于人为了征服外在自然而不得不征服内在自然,或者是由于生存斗争永恒化,或者是由于系统侵了生活世界,或者是由于人的非意愿性经验的丧失,等等。他们提出了许多不同的方法来解决这个问题:或者从文化的根子上重新反思,重构形而上学;或者从审美的角度重构人的自然;或者用对话来重建生活世界;或者是在相互斗争中达致相互承认;等等。这些不同的思路为我们批判资本主义,分析现代社会中所出现的类似问题提供了有益的参考。

在哲学与艺术之间——德勒兹访谈录(全新修订本)
¥29.99
为什么要收录这些几乎长达二十年的访谈文字?有时候,一些发声持续了如此长的时间以至于我们不知道它们是否仍然是战争的一部分,或是已经和解。诚然,哲学与对时代的愤怒不可分离,但它同样也给我们带来了安宁。 哲学不是一种强权。宗教、国家、资本主义、科学、法律、舆论、电视这些都是强权,但哲学不是。哲学内部会有大的战役(观念论与实在论,等等),但这些都是欢笑之战。因为不是强权,哲学不能对那些强权发动战役,而只能对它们发动一场没有战役的战争,一场游战。哲学不同强权讲话,它没有什么要说的,也没有什么要沟通的,它只是在发声。那些强权不满足于只是外在的,它们同样贯穿于我们每一个人,因此,我们每一个人都处于不断的发声和与自己的游战之中——这就是哲学的用处。
