Soldier, Brother, Sorcerer (Of Crowns and Glory—Bo

In the late 1590s, the Sultan secretly commissions a great book: a celebration of his life and his empire, to be illuminated by the best artists of the day - in the European manner. At a time of violent fundamentalism, however, this is a dangerous proposition. Even the illustrious circle of artists are not allowed to know for whom they are working. But when one of the miniaturists is murdered, their Master has to seek outside help. Did the dead painter fall victim to professional rivalry, romantic jealousy or religious terror?With the Sultan demanding an answer within three days, perhaps the clue lies somewhere in the half-finished pictures … Orhan Pamuk is one of the world's leading contemporary novelists and in My Name is Red, he fashioned an unforgettable tale of suspense, and an artful meditation on love and deception.

Darkness Visible opens at the height of the London Blitz, when a naked child steps out of an all-consuming fire. Miraculously saved but hideously scarred, soon tormented at school and at work, Matty becomes a wanderer, a seeker after some unknown redemption. Two more lost children await him, twins as exquisite as they are loveless. Toni dabbles in political violence; Sophy, in sexual tyranny. As Golding weaves their destinies together, his book reveals both the inner and outer darkness of our world. "An intensity of vision without parallel." (TLS). "A vision of elemental reality so vivid we seem to hallucinate the scenes…Magic." (New York Times Book Review).

这年冬天，我在沐川寒冷的细雨中与宋氏兄弟夜夜吃酒，太阳好的时候在门前溪沟边的芙蓉树下喝茶。面对绵绵的青山，我写了《宿疾》，试着用《丧》这台时空机器制造一只能看得见的时空匣子，结果成功了。而且这种方式表达之完美令我惊叹不已。在这场与死亡赛跑的游戏中，我们比《丧》更清晰地看见佃户、窑户一家、父亲以及打井的汉子们死亡过程的每个细节，而且每个细节都是致命的，都是自己和其他人逃不过的必死无疑的死亡陷阱。全部的细节既同时呈现在我们眼前，又是每一个细节的发散。在我看来，这些死亡本身并不重要，重要的是用何种方式来写死亡。
