还原一个充满欲望和秘密的托马斯·曼
跨越半个世纪的动荡岁月，令人眼花缭乱的家族史诗
真正的艺术家能否像其他人一样生活？
◎ 内容简介：
《魔术师》在十九、二十世纪之交德国边远小城吕贝克拉开帷幕，男孩托马斯·曼在那里成长，父亲保守，受礼教约束，母亲来自巴西，迷人而难以捉摸。年轻的曼向父亲隐瞒了他的艺术抱负，向所有人隐瞒了他的性取向。他被慕尼黑最富有、最有教养的犹太家庭吸引，娶了这家的女儿卡提娅，生了六个孩子。
在意大利度假时，曼对在海滩上遇见的一个男孩产生渴望，并写下《死于威尼斯》的故事。陪卡提娅在瑞士疗养时，他又迷惑于使人无法离开的高山氛围，写下《魔山》。他成为当时最成功的小说家，获得诺贝尔文学奖，人们反复期待他的政治表态。他逃离德国，前往瑞士、法国，再到达美国。他的漂泊最后结束于苏黎世以南的基尔希贝格。
这是一部史诗般的家庭传奇，背景跨越半个世纪，历经第一次世界大战、希特勒的崛起、第二次世界大战和冷战。托宾精心打造了一个复杂但富有同情心的作家形象，他一生都在与自己内心的欲望、家庭和他们所经历的动荡时代斗争。
和科尔姆·托宾所有了不起的作品一样，《魔术师》也是一部充满想象力的杰作——好读，渊博，充满世俗烟火气，会意，完成度高。
——理查德·福特
《魔术师》是了不起的杰作。读完你会相信，曼本人也会赞同这一看法。
——约翰·班维尔
当代没有哪位小说家能像科尔姆·托宾那样深刻而优美地用小说表现艺术创作，也没有哪位小说家能像科尔姆·托宾那样很好地表现想象与欲望的纠葛……读他的作品是我们的文学能提供的最深刻的乐趣之一。
——加思·格林韦尔
这是一部雄心勃勃的作品，托马斯·曼人生中的私密部分和关键部分得到了巧妙的平衡。故事中的这个男人，成年后的所有时间几乎都在书桌旁，或是与妻子饭后散步度过。就是从这种静止的生活中，托宾塑造出一部史诗。
——《卫报》
《魔术师》不是传记，而是一部艺术作品，是对一个变革世纪的情感反思，聚焦了一个努力站稳脚跟但被变革之风吹得摇摇晃晃的人。
——《泰晤士报》
胖查理在伦敦过着正常的生活，当他给住在美国、久已疏远的父亲打电话，请他来参加自己的婚礼时，却发现父亲刚刚过世了。胖查理去佛罗里达参加了父亲的葬礼，于是惊心动魄的故事逐一上演……
因为他发现两件事：第一，他的父亲是化作人形的蜘蛛神阿纳西，一个来自非洲的骗子之神；第二，他还有个叫“蜘蛛”的兄弟继承了父亲的部分神力。蜘蛛拥有胖查理所没有的一切优点：幸运、快活、充满自信，还有父亲的如簧巧舌和追求女人的天份。他的出现把胖查理有条不紊的生活被蜘蛛搅得天翻地覆，他偷走了胖查理的工作、未婚妻，甚至是家中最好的房间，更糟的是，他还害胖查理被警方当作挪用公款和谋杀客户的嫌疑犯……
胖查理身陷囹圄，只得回到佛罗里达，试图摆脱兄弟的干扰。他借助于魔法，进入了图腾动物神祗们居住的灵魂世界，但故事从此变得更加复杂和诡异，神祗们把这对兄弟带入一系列惊悚骇人的冒险之中，作为蛛神阿纳西的另一个儿子，胖查理能否挽回自己对兄弟造成的伤害？能否从自己无意中所释放出来的超自然力量手中，救下蜘蛛和整个世界？生活能否重新回到正轨？
《风之名》是奇幻小说弒君者传奇 （Kingkiller Chronicle Series）的第一部，描写一位孤儿成为传奇人物的故事，充满音乐、魔法、爱和失去，不仅带领读者深入魔法师的行为与心灵世界，也让我们预见奇幻文学的重量级作家诞生。
他说尽一生的沧桑，我们却听到了一则伟大的英雄事迹
他只是为了求生存，却靠着天赋和机运把自己活成传奇
当人们想要述说一个人的伟大故事时，名字是很重要的。而我，却有很多名字。
我是科沃斯，一个声名狼藉的魔法师、技艺高超的神偷、天赋异禀的音乐家，也是恶名昭彰的刺客。
有人叫我无血的科沃斯、神秘的科沃斯、国王杀手科沃斯。
这些名字都是我挣来的。我为它们都付出了相应的代价。
你可能也听过我的二三事……
如果不是全家被这个传说中的恶魔禅德里安杀害，红发男孩科沃斯，或许永远不会前往大学学习故事里的魔法、寻找禅德里安的档案；不会变成令人闻风丧胆的传奇人物；不会做出轰轰烈烈的事迹；更不会退隐到偏僻小镇当个旅店老板，直到被另一个追寻传奇的编史家找到，揭开他过往的回忆……
口耳相传的英雄事迹不过是加油添醋的故事，真正的传奇，只能由当事者自己述说……

当众神高踞于天庭漫步、恋爱、厮杀时，凡人正在庙宇前排队祈祷。他们省吃俭用，往电子功德箱里投币祷告，祈祷来世不入畜生道。

Starring the Dragons Of The Aisling Grey, Guardian Novels
Gabriel Tauhou, wyvern of the silver dragons, has found the one woman who can withstand his fire. Too bad May Northcott is already bound to a demon lord. But when the demon orders May to steal one of Gabriel's treasures - an immensely important relic of all dragonkin - Gabriel has to decide which to protect: his love or his dragons.
Tired of the political machinations of his egotistical fellow wizards, Benelaius retires from the College of War Wizards to take up residency in Cormyr, where he lives peacefully until he and his legman, Jasper, are forced to investigate the murder of a messenger from King Azoun. 25,000 first printing.
"May Northcott is a woman at the end of her rope. She'd almost gotten used to her employer, the ex-demon lord Magoth, spending his days hanging around her home and interrupting her private moments with her lover, Gabriel. Then trouble appears on her doorstep in the form of a nearly dead man. With May fighting to control the dragon shard, Magoth wrangling to regain his position and powers, and a mysterious and deadly dragon bent on their destruction, Gabriel has his work cut out for him. Now he'll have to claw his way through all the distractions and convince May that their love is strong enough to conquer all of their enemies."--p. [4] of cover.
Doppelganger Mayling is the mate of Gabriel, a Silver Dragon. Unfortunately, however, Mayling was specifically created to be the consort of the Demon Lord Magoth, an oversexed, narcissistic, cleverly evil villain with an ego the size of Hades. Gabriel is a very powerful leader, so Mayling is amazed when he tells her to go through with the consort ceremony. Gabriel might love Mayling more than life itself, but he has his reasons for convincing her to hook up with Magoth. The second in the Silver Dragon series (Playing with Fire, 2008), this zany paranormal, with its madcap plot and screwball characters, will work its magic with MacAlister’s many fans and make some new ones along the way. --Shelley Mosley
'Smart, sexy and funny - Katie delivers!' -- Christine Feehan on FIRE ME UP 'MacAlister continues her delectable contemporary paranormal series with another sinfully sexy, fabulously fun tale of love, vampires, ghosts, and demons' -- Booklist on SEX AND THE SINGLE VAMPIRE 'Horror romance readers will enjoy this one-bite sitting teeth in cheek (and neck) tale.' -- Midwest Book Review on SEX AND THE SINGLE VAMPIRE 'With its superb characterization and writing that manages to be both sexy and humorous, this contempary paranormal love story is an absolute delight.' -- Booklist starred review for A GIRL'S GUIDE TO VAMPIRES 'A book rich with humor, loaded with sexual tension, and packed with interesting, if sometimes slightly off-beat, characters.' -- Romance Reviews Today on A GIRL'S GUIDE TO VAMPIRES
Gignomai is the youngest brother in the current generation of met'Oc, a once-noble family exiled on an island for their role in a vaguely remembered civil war.
On this island, a colony was founded seventy years ago. The plan was originally for the colonists to mine silver, but there turned out not to be any.
Now, an uneasy peace exists on the island, between the colonists and the met'Oc. The met'Oc are tolerated, in spite of occasional cattle stealing raids, since they alone possess the weapons considered necessary protection against the island's savages.
Gignomai is about to discover exactly what it is expected of him, and what it means to defy his family. He is the hammer who will provide the spark that will ignite a brutal and bloody war.

Accountant turned professional monster hunter, Owen Zastava Pitt, managed to stop the nefarious Old One’s invasion plans last year, but as a result made an enemy out of one of the most powerful beings in the universe. Now an evil death cult known as the Church of the Temporary Mortal Condition wants to capture Owen in order to gain the favor of the great Old Ones. The Condition is led by a fanatical necromancer known as the Shadow Man. The government wants to capture the Shadow Man and has assigned the enigmatic Agent Franks to be Owen’s full time bodyguard, which is a polite way of saying that Owen is monster bait. With supernatural assassins targeting his family, a spy in their midst, and horrific beasties lurking around every corner, Owen and the staff of Monster Hunter International don’t need to go hunting, because this time the monsters are hunting them. Fortunately, this bait is armed and very dangerous . . .
Book Three in the New York Times bestselling series.

EDITORIAL REVIEW: The day after they moved in, Coraline went exploring.... In Coraline's family's new flat are twenty-one windows and fourteen doors. Thirteen of the doors open and close. The fourteenth is locked, and on the other side is only a brick wall, until the day Coraline unlocks the door to find a passage to another flat in another house just like her own. Only it's different. At first, things seem marvelous in the other flat. The food is better. The toy box is filled with wind-up angels that flutter around the bedroom, books whose pictures writhe and crawl and shimmer, little dinosaur skulls that chatter their teeth. But there's another mother, and another father, and they want Coraline to stay with them and be their little girl. They want to *change* her and never let her go. Other children are trapped there as well, lost souls behind the mirrors. Coraline is their only hope of rescue. She will have to fight with all her wits and all the tools she can find if she is to save the lost children, her ordinary life, and herself. Critically acclaimed and award-winning author Neil Gaiman will delight readers with his first novel for all ages.
The Anibus Gate is the classic time travel novel that took the fantasy world by storm a decade ago. Only the dazzling imagination of Tim Powers could have created such as adventure.
EDITORIAL REVIEW: Ten thousand years ago, humans and fairies fought a great battle for the magical island of Ireland. When it became clear to the fairy families that they could never win, they decided to move their civilization underground and keep themselves hidden from the humans. All the fairy families agreed on this, except the 8th family, the demons. The demons planned to lift their small island out of time until they had regrouped and were ready to wage war on the humans once more. However the time spell went wrong, and the island of Hybras was catapulted into Limbo, where it has remained for ten thousand years. Now, the tainted time spell is deteriorating and demons are being sucked back into the present space and time. The fairy Council is naturally concerned about this and is monitoring any materializations. When the spell's deterioration accelerates, the materializations become unpredictable. Even the fairy scientists cannot figure out where the next demon will pop up. But someone can. Artemis Fowl, teenage criminal mastermind has solved temporal equations that no normal human should be intelligent enough to understand. So when a confused and frightened demon pops up in a Sicilian theatre, Artemis Fowl is there to meet him. Unfortunately, he is not the only one. A second, mysterious party has also solved the temporal equations, and has managed to abduct the demon before Artemis can secure him. This is a disaster for the fairy people, as this demon was no ordinary fairy. He was the last demon warlock, the one who held the key to the survival of the entire demon race. It is up to Artemis and his old comrade, Captain Holly Short, to track down the missing demon and rescue him, before the time spell dissolves completely and the lost demon colony returns violently to Earth.
Suze is a mediator -- a liaison between the living and the dead. In other words, she sees dead people. And they won't leave her alone until she helps them resolve their unfinished business with the living. But Jesse, the hot ghost haunting her bedroom, doesn't seem to need her help. Which is a relief, because Suze has just moved to sunny California and plans to start fresh, with trips to the mall instead of the cemetery, and surfing instead of spectral visitations. But the very first day at her new school, Suze realizes it's not that easy. There's a ghost with revenge on her mind ... and Suze happens to be in the way.
EDITORIAL REVIEW: Artemis Fowl, a charming but villainous twelve-year-old, takes on the dangerous world of the Fairy People in this unforgettable story, which became a national best-seller and instant cult classic with its hardcover publication in May 2000. The book received tremendous attention and created fans of all ages, around the world. In this extraordinary adventure, Artemis kidnaps a fairy, Captain Holly Short of the LEPrecon unit, to help him decode the fairys magic book, which will lead him to a vast treasure of gold. But these are not the fairies of bedtime storiestheyre cunning and dangerous! Full of unexpected twists and turns, Artemis Fowl opens up a riveting world of fantasy and mystery where anything, literally, is possible.
The basis for the new Pirates of the Caribbean film starring Johnny Depp, On Stranger Tides is Tim Powers great Disneyland ride through pirates, puppeteers, treasure, and thrill a minute action that carries on from the start.
He holds the secret that can end the world.
The truth: Nicholas Flamel was born in Paris on September 28, 1330. Nearly 700 years later, he is acknowledged as the greatest Alchemyst of his day. It is said that he discovered the secret of eternal life.
The records show that he died in 1418.
But his tomb is empty.
The legend: Nicholas Flamel lives. But only because he has been making the elixir of life for centuries. The secret of eternal life is hidden within the book he protects—the Book of Abraham the Mage. It's the most powerful book that has ever existed. In the wrong hands, it will destroy the world. That's exactly what Dr. John Dee plans to do when he steals it. Humankind won't know what's happening until it's too late. And if the prophecy is right, Sophie and Josh Newman are the only ones with the power to save the world as we know it.
Sometimes legends are true.
And Sophie and Josh Newman are about to find themselves in the middle of the greatest legend of all time.
