HAPPY DAYS OF THE GRUMP (ILOSIA AIKOJA, MIELENSAPAHOITTAJA) | |
| by TUOMAS KYRO | ||
| 页数：136 定价：0 美元 上传日期：2014-9-15 | ||
 |
英文概要: | A FUNNY, MOVING, WISE BOOK The world changes; the Grump doesn’t. Nowadays folks and touch screens demand a bit of delicacy, while the Grump belongs to the heavy-handed generation. He lived through the war (WWII), shortages and reconstruction, and he’s used to doing everything for himself. But now the Grump’s beloved wife is lying in the inpatient ward at the local hospital and his son wants to put him in a nursing home. As the boundaries of life shrink, this old codger’s battle against modernity grows. Every day the Grump goes and feeds and cares for his demented wife, but there’s no way he’ll suffer the same fate. The Grump will not put himself at the mercy of others. He intends on leaving this world wearing his own boots, not a pair of hospital booties. Which is why he has to prepare for his funeral in plenty of time. He builds a coffin, writes his memoirs, and of course plans the menu and music for the memorial service. He also needs to get his last will and testament down on paper, but the ink in his heirloom pen has run dry. The Grump and his son head out to crisscross Finland by car, hunting for ink in a world that has moved on to laser printers. These days, folks pay with bonus cards instead of cash. Spoons have been replaced by chopsticks. Buttermilk by red wine. And women do men’s work. Old folks are rehabilitated as if they were world-class athletes, but they’re spoken to as if they were children. Which isn’t to say there aren’t a few good things about modern times, too. The Grump learns that you can use one of those handheld televisions to journey into the past, that flat screens show news from the era when news anchors were still gentlemen and Finland did well in the Olympics. The Grump, who has spent his whole life in his own neck of the woods, is able to explore the streets of Vladivostok and Jerusalem online. During his travels, the Grump reflects back on the beginnings of his life and the lives of loved ones, to birth and childhood. He realizes that the most important things never change. Babies, love, taking care of each other. He even admits to having been wrong during the course of his life. Twice. At the end of the story, the old man decides turn his coffin into a crib for a new-born member of his family: “I’ll make a gift, one where a little feller’ll be happy banging on the slats and sleeping and just having him all kindsa happy times.” The humour of Tuomas Kyrö’s Happy Days of the Grump springs from the main character’s inimitable attitude and tenacious resistance to modern vanities. It is a book that is fun, moving, and wise. |
| 中文概要: | 《百歲老人翹家去》芬蘭版！ 系列上市至今已售超過20萬冊 改編舞台劇多達14齣 改編電影2014年首映於芬蘭影展及多倫多影展
爆笑、感人、又充滿智慧的故事
現代人什麼事情都要低頭滑一下螢幕，而經歷過二戰的老爹古輪普(the Grump)則是習慣什麼粗活都要自己做。但如今太太住院，自己也快被兒子丟包安養院，生活的界線不斷限縮，這位古怪老人與現代世界的戰爭開始升溫。 古輪普每日到醫院照顧太太，但他絕不讓自己落得同樣下場，也絕不要別人同情。他要穿自己的靴子離開人世，而不要在醫院等死。為此他決定開始準備自己的葬禮，他用木頭釘一具自己專用的棺材，還寫了回憶錄。當然，告別式上用的音樂以及手冊也要準備好。就在古輪普準備親筆寫下遺囑時，他發現傳家筆居然沒墨水了，於是他與兒子開始坐車四處尋找墨水，卻進入雷射印表機早已盛行的現代世界。 原來這段時間，人們已經用儲值卡取代現金。 用筷子取代湯匙。 用紅酒取代酪乳。 而且女人也做男人的工作。 現代生活也有美好的事物。古輪普學到，原來可以用手持電視來趟時光旅行，平板螢幕能將古早時代立即展現在他眼前，在那時代，芬蘭在奧運會上的表現還很亮眼……現代生活的美好不只如此，古輪普一輩子都窩在芬蘭小鎮，現在居然能透過網路到海參崴和耶路撒冷的街道上探險。 這趟旅行中，他開始回想自己的出生、他的童年以及他所愛之人的生命。他發現，既使物換星移，最重要的事情永不會改變：小孩、愛、人與人互相關懷的心。 故事最後，古輪普將自己的棺材改造成嬰兒床，迎接他們家的新成員：「我會親手完成這份禮物，讓小傢伙開心地在板子上蹦跳、睡覺，享受所有屬於他的美好時光。」 |

| 中文概要: | 雅各．維格柳斯關於大猩猩的故事是一部與眾不同、獨一無二的作品。在書裡，維格柳斯回到了《塞利．瓊斯傳奇》的情境中(《塞利．瓊斯傳奇》於2008年獲得奧古斯特文學獎)。那個有著蒸氣船和螺旋槳飛機，有很多新興共和國誕生的1910年代。但是不同於那種相對較短的圖畫書，他把這本書擴展到了600多頁。結果成了一部引人入勝、一讀就停不下來的現代冒險小說。 塞利和船長的輪船哈德森皇后號在里斯本拋了錨。但是那段時間很困難，他們幾乎窮困潦倒。這時他們接了一個他們知道本應拒絕的任務。貨物據說是磚瓦，然而沒過多久，他們就明白那其實是向反革命份子提供的武器。船長無意中陷入了打鬥，被判謀殺罪。這一切都是一個陰謀，而正式上層社會策劃了這個陰謀。塞利必須逃跑，在尋求洗脫罪名的道路上她遇到了很多人，他們有著極為豐富的性情，有朋友，也有敵人。最後塞利解決了所有問題，這在很大程度上得益她在機械方面的天賦，但首先更是多虧了她在情感方面那無與倫比的敏感性。沒有人能像塞利，這只殺人犯的猴子，那樣懂得人類的心。 | |

A literary agent shows up in a school yard and offers some teens participation in a series of novels about vampires, a victim of bullying is brooding on his revenge when he discovers that the teachers keep miniature clones of the students in glass jars in the basement of the school, some young people are infected by a mysterious illness and slowly turn into birds.

DET SYVENDE BARN (ENGLISH EDITION: THE SEVENTH CHILD) (GERMAN EDITION: DAS SIEBTE KIND) | |
| by ERIK VALEUR | ||
| 页数：696 定价：0 美元 上传日期：2013-5-3 | ||
 |
英文概要: | At birth the seven children have only two things in common: They all come into the world in Maternity Ward B at the National Hospital in Copenhagen, and they are all given up for adoption. In the following months, the women who run Kongslund, the famed orphanage, find new families for the children in different parts of Denmark. They grow up without the slightest clue about their past.
Many years later an anonymous letter is sent to a down-and-out journalist at a failing newspaper. The letter reveals that one of the seven children carries a secret, and someone has done everything possible to keep that secret hidden. When the story is made public, it brings explosive consequences. Could it be that for the past fifty years the prestigious orphanage has been covering up the love affairs of wealthy and famous Danes, hiding scandalous liaisons that took place at the highest levels of society? The seven adopted children, now adults, are swept up in the search to uncover their past. At the same time, they are desperately trying to figure out which of them is the seventh child, and what could be the nature of the secret that person holds. The Seventh Child is the story of how this mystery is unraveled — and about the bond between the seven children, whose lives end up inextricably linked during the decades when the social welfare system was established in Denmark, from the 1960s until the present. |

MOUCHES VOLANTES: EYE FLOATERS AS SHINING STRUCTURE OF CONSCIOUSNESS | |
| by FLOCO TAUSIN | ||
| 页数：0 定价：0 美元 上传日期：2008-6-13 | ||
 |
英文概要: | What are these dots and strands floating in our field of vision and becoming visible in bright light conditions? In ophthalmology they are known as »vitreous opacities«, also called »mouches volantes«. Patients in search for treatment are put off with the argument that the phenomenon is harmless and not effectively treatable. In this book, the author Floco Tausin introduces the radically opposite conclusion of the seer Nestor living in the Swiss Emmental: according to him, the »flying mosquitoes« are the first emergences of a shining structure formed by our consciousness; the mystical entering into this structure allows us human beings to become one with the picture.The reader will not only find a report of experiences in the form of a mystic tale in this book; he or she will also be exposed to the practical way of life and ecstasy techniques of the seer Nestor that are required to arrive at a novel and challenging wealth of knowledge: the fact that seeing mouches volantes is closely interconnected to our consciousness and its state of development. The book »Mouches Volantes« is a practical and entertaining companion for all those who choose to lead a life of conscious awareness. |
| 中文概要: | 伯恩大學的學生Floco為了找尋可以修復或買賣的二手家具來到瑞士鄉下的農舍。在這他卻遇到預言家Nestor。當他試圖修復一只Nestor賣給他的古董寫字桌時，卻身體卻屢屢有特殊的反應而無法進行。先知Nestor教導他”完美修復”的方式。每件家具都有自己的內涵與記憶，必須去仔細去體會出現在眼前的”圖像”。這些在眼前飛舞的點與線，並非是隨機無意義的，先知們認為最先是出現在我們的意識裡，透過解構潛意識中的圖像，透過這些點與線找到萬物的中心，帶領我們體驗知識與狂喜。 這些在眼前飛舞的點與線在醫學中認為是玻璃體混濁（vitreous opacities）引起的，稱為飛蚊症。飛蚊症雖然惱人但對於人體沒有多大傷害。長期研究意識與視覺現象的作者以第一人稱的方式敘述此故事，賦予飛蚊症最神祕的詮釋。 | |

ARVO PART: længslen efter de hvide tangenter(The Longing for the White Keys) | |
| by HENRIK MARSTAL | ||
| 页数：200 定价：0 美元 上传日期：2008-5-19 | ||
 |
英文概要: | Considered to be one of our greatest living composers, the Estonian musician, Arvo Pärt, born in 1935, is one of the few who is recognised outside the world of classical music. His distinctly spiritual music is popular among people with extremely varied taste and his monkish appearance and shy nature have given him legendary status. Very few books exist on Pärt, largely due to his self-imposed seclusion from public scrutiny. However, Henrik Marstal has succeeded in getting quite close to the composer, and the book’s in-depth interviews provide an exclusive insight into Pärt’s character and art. The book is illustrated, devoid of musical notes and analysis, and easy to understand without any prior qualifications. |

| 作者介绍: | Henrik Marstal, born in 1966, is a musician, composer, author, scientist, lecturer, critic and debater. He holds a PhD. in musicology and is a project researcher at the Danish Folklore Archives. In addition, he is the author of a number of books on music. | |
