三杯茶 Douban
Three Cups of Tea
★ 7.5 (40 ratings) author: [美] 葛瑞格·摩顿森 / [美] 大卫·奥利佛·瑞林 translator: 黄玉华 / 严冬冬 publishing house: 吉林文史出版社 2009 - 1
在巴基斯坦的世界中,“三杯茶”,是巴尔蒂人交朋友的方式。
第一杯茶,你是陌生人;
第二杯茶,你是我们的宾客;
第三杯茶,你是我们的家人,我们愿意为你做任何事,甚至是死。
当摩森顿于攀登K2峰迷路,科尔飞村居民拯救了他的生命。当地的居民生活艰困,糖是如此稀少珍贵,他们却为他煮了甜茶,让他恢复力气。此后,从第一杯茶到第三杯茶,从陌生人到愿意以生命守护彼此,“三杯茶”代表的是他们之间珍贵的信任,更是一生的承诺,也是一个旅人,改变世界的开始。
摩顿森原来是个登山家,1993为了纪念早逝的妹妹,展开了攀登世界第二高峰K2的旅程,却发生意外,与 队友们失去联络,只留下他一人,没有水也没有食物。十分幸运地,他在巴基斯坦山区的一个偏僻小村落被救起,而且在村民的细心照护下,他的身体得以康复。
那里景色如画,看似有如香格里拉般的人间仙境,但,却不是想象中的伊甸园。村民的善良所感动的摩顿森发现,村落里有三分之一的孩子活不过一岁生日,最近的医院得走上一星期的路,孩子们最大的愿望,是一间有屋顶的学校。在寒风里,当地小孩只能跪在户外霜冻的土地上,或坐在脏污的泥地上上课。村民穷到没钱聘请老师。摩顿森于是承诺,他一定会回来为他们办所学校……
在过去的十二年,巴基斯坦、阿富汗及西藏山区,六十所学校陆续成立,最特别的是,这些学校让原本无法上学的女孩开始接受教育。摩顿森守护妹妹的信念,改变了一群女孩的生命,是她们不再藏匿于面纱之后,有勇气面对世界,甚至拥有改变世界的能力。
当我们怀疑,一个人的力量是否真的能改变世界时,摩顿森做到了。为了坚持理想,即使受到恋人的遗弃、社会的漠视、巴提人的拐骗,即使与妻儿分隔两地、被军阀囚禁,即使遭逢美国911事件、美国轰炸阿富汗,在悲伤、沮丧、孤独与滨临死亡之时,他从来没有遗忘他的承诺,他愿意用生命去化解世界上最大的仇恨。

神经外科的黑色喜剧 Douban
When the Air Hits Your Brain: Tales from Neurosurgery
★ 8.9 (13 ratings) author: 法兰克·佛杜锡克 translator: 吴程远 publishing house: 湖南科学技术出版社 2006 - 5
本书记述了一名钢铁工人蜕化为具有人道关怀思想的神经外科医师的里程碑。作者以一个黑色幽默的角度看待神经外科医生的修炼历程,描绘医院里为生死博斗的悲喜剧。行文鲜活生动、风趣幽默,却又带着令人鼻酸的感伤与无奈。故事情节紧凑、明快,在时而欢笑、时而垂泪的阅读中,深刻体验医生工作的甘苦、压力与使命,病患流露出的无助、期望与感激。文中提到内科与外科的互相排斥,医生面对病患终告不治时的悲哀与痛切,医生与护士或其他医护工作人员的小小冲突磨擦等等,也是医界不断上演的戏码,不分国界。我相信,读者阅读起来,有如聆听医生的肺腑之言,文中情境也都可能发生在自己身上。在药水、针筒、电子仪器的场景中,交织成有血有泪,却又真实无比的人生,让人体悟更深、感受更强、启示更鲜明。
要知道这是官方简介。
一个从医大毕业的实习医生转变了医院的所有科,终于选择了神经外科。并且在那个拥有“疼痛博物馆”的科室,一待就是七年。

直面生命。笑点不少,只是最后哭的枕头巾都湿了。这大半夜的如何是好。车祸的姑娘脑浆溢出来,医生帮她抹掉,打趣说也许就是三年级时候的记忆。有人珍惜有人不屑,活着真奇妙。「花花公子历经沧桑之后,回想起小学六年级喜欢上女老师的天真情怀」,你看医生对于生命的挽留与逝去的感慨啊。

Deadman Douban

A mysterious deity called Rama Kushna gives Boston Brand the chance to revisit the land of the living as Deadman, with the mission of finding his murderer.

Painter's practice : how artists lived and worked in traditional China
★ 7.8 (12 ratings) author: [美国] 高居翰 translator: 杨贤宗 / 马琳 … publishing house: 生活·读书·新知三联书店 2012 - 1
本书为“高居翰作品系列”第五种,也是中译本的首次面世,主题讨论中国古代画家,尤其是元、明、清晚期画家的工作与生活。高居翰在这本书中,试图打破文人画家“寄情笔墨、自书胸臆、不食人间烟火”的神话,从实际的社会生活层面,考察了不同阶层画家的状态,他们如何将作品作为社交的礼物与应酬,如何通过卖画来养家糊口,如何苦于画债繁多而草草了事或雇佣助手,而对赞助人、收藏家和顾主来说,他们如何从画家手中取得作品,他们的希冀和要求对画家创作能起多少权重,他们如何判断获得是一张应酬之作还是一幅真正有艺术价值的作品……总之,在出自文人之手的主流撰述之外,高居翰通过搜集大量信笺、笔记、题跋等容易被忽视的材料,向读者展开了一幅自宋末以后,随着商业繁荣、社会中对绘画需求增加,画家们在不同层面谋生与创作的生动场景,使我们更充分地了解和考虑到一幅作品创作的原初情境,从而重新调整对艺术风格、品评标准的看法,读来令人读来耳目一新,是同类书市场中难得而重要的学术普及读物。
Nov. 24, 2014 read
所以才有这么一个问题,我们面对一幅作品时所感受到的美,与画家有没有明码标价这幅画,有没有旁人代笔,画家是否按雇主要求绘制,画是否曾经被富人收藏…等等等等,有多直接的关系?无甚艺术修养的俺,说起来就是喜欢郑板桥哎。为啥才华和灵感不能和金钱地位直接对等呢,应该获得更富足的生活从而更为自由地进行创作不是更好的选择吗?钱不会毁灭才华啊,欲望和狭隘才会不是嘛。

The Hard Goodbye (Sin City, Book 1) Douban Goodreads Skybridge
★ 9.2 (5 ratings) author: Frank Miller publishing house: Dark Horse 2005 - 2 other title: Sin City Volume 1: The Hard Goodbye
Legendary artist Frank Miller opened a noir opus in Sin City. This critically-acclaimed triumph-honored by both an Eisner Award and the prestigious National Cartoonists' Award-combines the pulp intensity of writers like Spillane and Cain with the gritty graphic storytelling that only Miller can deliver. Sin City is the place-tough as leather and dry as tinder. Love is the fuel, and the now-infamous character Marv has the match ... not to mention a "condition." He's gunning after Goldie's killer, so it's time to watch this town burn! Frank Miller is one of modern comic's first talents to publish a comic book that he created, crafted, and owned. That book is Sin City, which grew from the wellspring of Miller's passionate desire to create a comic book with two distinct qualities - it wouldn't be a superhero comic, and it had to be a crime comic. Enter Marv and Goldie. And a psychotic killer. And a crime-drenched town. And a corrupted diocese. Sin City is a town like no other, but most places resemble it in one way or another. In real life, thugs live everywhere and women sell their bodies all the time, but if everyday life is a storm, Sin City exists in the eye of a hurricane.

书评
“如果说有哪一本书能够和《守望者》以及《黑暗骑士归来》相提并论的话,那就是《蝙蝠侠:第一年》。”
——《迈阿密先驱报》
“对真正的蝙蝠侠粉丝来说,这是一个不容抗拒的故事。”
——《学校图书馆杂志》
“马祖凯利的画面也许是蝙蝠侠漫画有史以来最好的。而米勒对动作场面的安排则无人可比……这是一次有趣的、令人愉快的改革。”
——《洛杉矶时报》书评
“一部结合了人们熟悉的都市传说、明显的现代情感以及精妙的叙事手法的图画小说。”
——丹尼 奥尼尔(DC漫画编辑)
“对于新读者来说,往往感觉美国漫画千头万绪,不知从何入门:大部分人物都有长达几十年的历史,积累的背景故事浩如烟海,要理出一个来龙去脉,确实并非易事……好在本书作为开宗明义的‘第一年’,其目的之一就是为蝙蝠侠漫画定下基调……对于喜欢蝙蝠侠的人来说,本书是不可不读的圣经;而对于一般的漫画读者,这也是一部现实主义的名作。”
