ALL MY DOGS: A LIFE
Book ID/图书代码: 03650111B46369
English Summary/英文概要: It may be true that a dog is a man’s best friend, but if you are a serious dog owner, you are probably a serial dog owner, having embraced not one but a succession of canine companions, each of them memorable in their own particular way, and each marking a particular epoch in your own life. We remember which dogs our children teased (and which generally suffered the abuse nobly), the ones that chewed the furniture and peed on the rugs, the ones that anticipated our every move and mood and displayed affection and loyalty in the face of neglect and indifference, the ones that died too early and the ones that lingered into old age. All of them with their own distinctive foibles and personalities, none of them with any sense of their own mortality.
Indeed, our own lives can be chronicled by the lives of the dogs we have owned, each death marking an ending, to be followed shortly by a new beginning. In this intimate, moving, and revealing memoir, Bill Henderson, the beloved founder of the Pushcart Press, divides up the stages of his life into canine epochs. There was (and there always is) the first dog. . . , the worst dog, the ones that died untimely deaths, the one who saved a marriage. "Packaging" is never openly discussed in the halls of this publishing house, but here we have tried to make as perfect a package as possible. The book contains lovely line drawings by Leslie Moore, is designed and printed in an intimate format, and is even set in Minion, which means "faithful companion." This is a book to love even if you don’t love dogs.
Chinese Summary/中文概要: 狗是一個人最好的朋友,這可能是事實,但如果是你是一位嚴肅認真的狗主人,你可能就會成為一連串的狗主人,你擁抱不是一個而是一連串狗的同伴,其中每一個都有他們自己顯著的獨特交流方式,在你的生活中每一個狗狗都標誌著特別的烙印。我們還記得我們在年幼時戲弄(堂而皇之的戲弄通常被遭受虐待)的狗,那些嚼過的傢俱和地毯上撒尿的痕跡,那些期待會對我們顯示情緒和感情的一舉一動,和被我們冷漠忽視的那張忠誠的臉,那些過早死亡和那些邁入徘徊在暮年的狗狗們。狗狗們有自己獨特的癖好和性格,他們中沒有一個與自己的死亡有任何意義。
事實上,我們自己的生活,由我們所擁有與狗一起的生活來記載,每一個(狗的)死亡標誌著(一段感情)結束,隨後不久,由一個新的開始。在這本親密的,動人的和真情流露的回憶錄裡, Pushcart出版社,比爾•亨德森-敬愛的創始人,將他的生活階段劃分到犬的時期。(在你的生活中)曾有(總是)有第一隻狗…最糟的狗,那些過早死亡的狗,那只(幫助你)挽救婚姻的狗。 《ALL MY DOGS》的“包裝”是從來沒有在這家出版社的大廳裡公開討論過,但在這裡,我們試圖讓這本(圖書)包裝盡可能呈現完美。書中包含萊斯利•摩爾製作的可愛的(鋼筆、鉛筆畫等)線條畫,並設計和印在一個詳盡的設計版式,甚至在Minion(YouTube)開始盛行起來,這意味著即使你不是愛狗人士,《忠實的夥伴》這也是一本你會喜愛的書。 (sandy)
