The triumphant return of one of comics’ greatest talents, with an engrossing story of one man’s search for love, meaning, sanity, and perfect architectural proportions. An epic story long awaited, and well worth the wait.
Meet Asterios Polyp: middle-aged, meagerly successful architect and teacher, aesthete and womanizer, whose life is wholly upended when his New York City apartment goes up in flames. In a tenacious daze, he leaves the city and relocates to a small town in the American heartland. But what is this “escape” really about?
As the story unfolds, moving between the present and the past, we begin to understand this confounding yet fascinating character, and how he’s gotten to where he is. And isn’t. And we meet Hana: a sweet, smart, first-generation Japanese American artist with whom he had made a blissful life. But now she’s gone. Did Asterios do something to drive her away? What has happened to her? Is she even alive? All the questions will be answered, eventually.
In the meantime, we are enthralled by Mazzucchelli’s extraordinarily imagined world of brilliantly conceived eccentrics, sharply observed social mores, and deftly depicted asides on everything from design theory to the nature of human perception.
Asterios Polyp is David Mazzucchelli’s masterpiece: a great American graphic novel.

Which is more dangerous, a gun or a swimming pool? What do schoolteachers and sumo wrestlers have in common? How much do parents really matter? These may not sound like typical questions for an economist to ask. But Steven D. Levitt is not a typical economist. He studies the riddles of everyday life—from cheating and crime to parenting and sports—and reaches conclusions that turn conventional wisdom on its head. Freakonomics is a groundbreaking collaboration between Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner, an award-winning author and journalist. They set out to explore the inner workings of a crack gang, the truth about real estate agents, the secrets of the Ku Klux Klan, and much more. Through forceful storytelling and wry insight, they show that economics is, at root, the study of incentives—how people get what they want or need, especially when other people want or need the same thing.

美国是一个历史很短的国家,开拓初期的日子里,又惟求能速速安顿,因而村镇都因陋就简,也就始终少有东方和欧洲的巍峨古迹。可是,逛得多了,觉得症状国也有它特别的韵味。它的开拓者中有着一批来自欧洲的思想者。他们从欧洲传承的思想,到了北美的荒原上,褪尽精美修饰,却有了实实在在的精神。这是林达最新的一本关于美国、欧洲的风土人情、历史、文明和社会的书。作者延续一贯的创作风格,对美国及欧洲几十个著名的城市与乡村、人物与事件作了贯穿历史的透视,以轻松的阅读来深刻理解欧美的历史和社会。林达的写作本身就是一个风光无限的旅程――知识与思考、智慧与大度造就了善于观察和阅读的眼睛。通过作者犀利的目光和委婉的笔触,一个个发生在异国的故事透射出了历史文化、战乱风云、文明发展和社会演变的信息。随着作者的引领,“读万卷书行万里路”的新境界徐徐展开。
