MARX’S DAS KAPITAL: A BIOGRAPHY | |
| by FRANCIS WHEEN | ||
亚马逊评级:
|
页数：128 定价：7.99 英镑 上传日期：2005-4-4 | |
 |
英文概要: | In this paperback edition Francis Wheen relates in vivid and engaging detail the story of Marx’s Das Kapital: ’As gripping and as readable as a first-rate thriller.’ A. C. Grayling, The Times
’The philosophers have only interpreted the world, in various ways; the point is to change it’, wrote Karl Marx in 1845. This is the essence of Das Kapital, a blazing exposé of the new capitalist world of the Victorian era, whose ideas would affect the lives of millions, and alter the course of world history. In vivid detail, Francis Wheen tells the story of Marx’s twenty-year .ght to complete his unfinished masterpiece. Das Kapital was born in a two-room .at in Soho amid political squabbles and personal tragedy. The first volume was published in 1867, to muted praise, but, after Marx’s death, went on to influence thinkers, writers and revolutionaries, from George Bernard Shaw to Lenin. Wheen’s brilliant and accessible book shows that, far from being a dry economic treatise, Das Kapital is like a vast Gothic novel, whose heroes are enslaved by the monster they created: capitalism. Furthermore, Wheen argues, as long as capitalism endures, Das Kapital demands to be read andunderstood. |
| 中文概要: | 《資本論》，是馬克思的著作，是以唯物史觀的基本思想為指導，通過深刻分析資本主義生產方式， 揭示了資本主義社會發展的規律，同時也使唯物史觀得到了科學的驗證和進一步的豐富和發展。《資本論》運用唯物史觀的觀點和方法，將社會關係歸結為生產關係，將生產關係歸結於生產力的高度，從而證明了社會形態的發展是一個不以人的意志為轉移的自然歷史過程。 “哲學家們以不同的方式去解讀世界；重點是要去改變它，” 卡爾•馬克思寫於1845年的。這是"資本論"中的精髓，公開的暴露了維多利亞時期的新資本主義世界，這一思想影響著成千上萬的生活，改變了世界歷史的進程。以生動的細節，法蘭西斯•威恩講述了馬克思嘔心瀝血二十年來未完成的這一巨作。“資本論”在(倫敦)索霍區的一間兩居室的公寓中誕生，在政治的混亂年代和個人的悲劇命運下催生而成。第一卷刊登於1867年，受到了默許的認同，但那是在馬克思逝世後，這一著作繼續影響著思想家，作家和革命家，從（英國劇作家）喬治•蕭伯納到列寧。威恩的這部傑出的和易懂的書顯示的遠遠不是枯燥無味的經濟論文，“資本論”如同偉大的哥特式小說，這個由資本主義創造出的巨人是被奴役的英雄。此外，威恩提出，只要資本主義長存，“資本論”就會有人去理解閱讀。(Sandy) |

英文概要: | At thirty-five, Jane, a freelance translator, realises something rather disturbing. After fifteen years spent building the life she believed she wanted, shes failed. She thought she had everything perfectly balanced - working from home allows her to keep her financial independence, spend time with her daughter and escape office politics - but somehow, instead of combining a rewarding career with a satisfying mother-daughter relationship, shes become an all-purpose dogsbody, rushing from crisis to crisis and combining missing deadlines with repairing the dishwasher. Rupert is also leading the life he planned: a job in the city, a glamorous girlfriend, plenty of money. But hes beginning to have doubts about the dull-but-sensible route hes chosen - and to realise its just possible he wants more out of life. So when he and Jane meet, each escaping their day-to-day life with a stolen afternoon in the peace of the cinema, they both start to wonder whether its really enough to settle for the next best thing. |

THE PROMISE OF HAPPINESS | |
| by JUSTIN CARTWRIGHT | ||
| 页数：307 定价：7.99 欧元 上传日期：1900-1-1 | ||
 |
英文概要: | An English woman of thirty-two has her few possessions packed, ready for release from a Federal prison in Loon Lake, up-state New York. · Her father aged sixty-eight stands peeing on small molluscs on a Cornish beach. · His wife of sixty-four is butchering mackerel in the darkened kitchen of a lime-washed cottage nearby. · Their daughter aged twenty-three is hovering on the set of an advertising shoot in a studio south-west of London. · The brother, twenty-eight, unlocks a rented Chevrolet on an Alamo lot in Buffalo Niagara, New York. These are the Judds, formerly of London N1, now scattered but about to be thrown together again by the shockwaves from eldest child Ju-Ju’s release from prison on the day that The Promise of Happiness opens. This is a family shattered by Juliet (Ju-Ju)’s conviction and imprisonment for art theft (fencing a Tiffany window to be precise). Each member has felt its effects for their own separate, sometimes secret, reasons. For Charles, the father, it is a challenge to his sense of order and rightness of conduct and further proof of the disintegration of society. For wife Daphne, a source of resentment, an invalidation of her self-sacrifice as a mother. Brother Charlie and sister Sophie seem worried less at the morality of the theft than the dissolution of the immutable certainties and hierarchies of the family. For Ju-Ju, of course, the effects have been physical, and obvious. She is bitter and wounded at being the scapegoat for what was a victimless, even minor, offence. And whether or not she was technically or ethically culpable, feels bitter about her guilt for what her conviction has done to the family. Such is the selfishness of families and family love, the innate sense that the family owes something immutable to its members… In The Promise of Happiness Booker-shortlisted Justin Cartwright tells the stories and secrets of the Judds which are, as in all families, interwoven yet at the same time discrete. He shows us them as they come together again, in apprehension as much as celebration, for Charlie’s wedding and the prodigal Ju-Ju’s return. It is a tour de force elegy to the idiocies and intimacies of family life and family love. Funny, moving, and profoundly shocking; it is his most ambitious, and most powerful, novel yet. |
