From the Pulitzer Prize-winning reporters who broke the news of Harvey Weinstein's sexual harassment and abuse for the New York Times, Jodi Kantor and Megan Twohey, the thrilling untold story of their investigation and its consequences for the #MeToo movement
For many years, reporters had tried to get to the truth about Harvey Weinstein's treatment of women. Rumors of wrongdoing had long circulated. But in 2017, when Jodi Kantor and Megan Twohey began their investigation into the prominent Hollywood producer for the New York Times, his name was still synonymous with power. During months of confidential interviews with top actresses, former Weinstein employees, and other sources, many disturbing and long-buried allegations were unearthed, and a web of onerous secret payouts and nondisclosure agreements was revealed. These shadowy settlements had long been used to hide sexual harassment and abuse, but with a breakthrough reporting technique Kantor and Twohey helped to expose it. But Weinstein had evaded scrutiny in the past, and he was not going down without a fight; he employed a team of high-profile lawyers, private investigators, and other allies to thwart the investigation. When Kantor and Twohey were finally able to convince some sources to go on the record, a dramatic final showdown between Weinstein and the New York Times was set in motion.
Nothing could have prepared Kantor and Twohey for what followed the publication of their initial Weinstein story on October 5, 2017. Within days, a veritable Pandora's box of sexual harassment and abuse was opened. Women all over the world came forward with their own traumatic stories. Over the next twelve months, hundreds of men from every walk of life and industry were outed following allegations of wrongdoing. But did too much change--or not enough? Those questions hung in the air months later as Brett Kavanaugh was nominated to the Supreme Court, and Christine Blasey Ford came forward to testify that he had assaulted her decades earlier. Kantor and Twohey, who had unique access to Ford and her team, bring to light the odyssey that led her to come forward, the overwhelming forces that came to bear on her, and what happened after she shared her allegation with the world.
In the tradition of great investigative journalism, She Said tells a thrilling story about the power of truth, with shocking new information from hidden sources. Kantor and Twohey describe not only the consequences of their reporting for the #MeToo movement, but the inspiring and affecting journeys of the women who spoke up--for the sake of other women, for future generations, and for themselves.

☀内容简介
悼念上升的幻觉
悼念瓦解于尘的秩序
这是一场举行过无数次的葬礼
我们终将在沉降中汇合
本书是塞巴尔德继《移民》之后又一享誉国际的作品，记录了叙事者“我”一段穿越英格兰东海岸的徒步旅行以及在旅途中的所见所思所感。他行经古老的英国庄园、已故作家的宅邸、破败的海滨度假胜地、被遗弃的岛屿，回忆讲述各种奇异的故事，如托马斯·布朗的头颅、伦勃朗的解剖课、鲱鱼的自然史、康拉德的非洲之行、中国的宫廷火车、糖与艺术的历史联系、第二次世界大战的轰炸、耶路撒冷神庙的模型、诺维奇的蚕桑业，等等。

☀媒体推荐
塞巴尔德的书写具有道德重量和忧倦智慧，它超越了文学，进入了神谕般的境界。
在现代文学中他的声音是一种非同寻常的存在，也许还需要十年才能完全领会其言语的重量和精细。
——《纽约客》
这本书就像一个你想永远做下去的梦。
塞巴尔德完成了每个作家梦寐以求的工作。《土星之环》闪耀着人类心灵的光辉和坚韧。
——《纽约时报书评》
塞巴尔德就是这样罕有的存在：一个无法效仿的创作者，他创造的不同凡响的句子像水晶一般，同时折射并放大了它们的意义。

几千年以来，人类想出很多巧妙而残忍的方法来对同类施加痛苦。这一可悲但似乎普遍的特征腐蚀着人类所追求的文明。尽管我们如今似乎对酷刑深恶痛绝，但是3000多年以来，它一直是整个欧洲和远东的大部分法律的组成部分。
《人类酷刑简史》探究了各种惩罚、酷刑、逼迫和折磨方式。它带领读者走进古罗马的竞技场、中世纪的地牢、宗教裁判所、宗教审判大会、女巫审判和最残酷的监狱。这是一次令人震惊和使人信服的研究，揭露了拷打者和刽子手可耻的手段和动机，以及古往今来他们所干的令人发指的勾当。
