本書特色★日本詩人多喜百合子首本中譯詩集。★本詩集譯者亦是著名詩人李魁賢，獲頒2016年奈姆．弗拉舍里文學獎，賦予桂冠詩人榮銜，並聘為詩歌節榮譽委員；2017年國家文藝獎得主。序前言／多喜百合子 2021年初，很高興接到台灣著名詩人李魁賢博士電子郵件：「I got an idea to translate one volume of your poems into Mandarin this year and to publish it in Taiwan thereafter. I don't know whether you are interesting this idea or not. If it is affirmative, please give me a word file including your poems to be translated. It had better in English and Japanese bilingual.」 早在2013年，我有10首詩，包括描寫福島事故的詩作，就被李魁賢博士翻譯成華語，收入《世界女詩人選集》（秀威2013），其中一首〈假使〉還發表在台灣大報《自由時報》上。從2011年3月11日發生福島事故起兩年間，當事國日本在政府主導下，試圖把災害損失看得微乎其微，反而在台灣有20萬人舉行反核示威遊行。 另外在2015年，詩〈福島的希望〉（福島核電廠災變第4年）也被譯成中文，刊載於台南福爾摩莎國際詩歌節大會詩選集《鳳凰花開時》。 此次，除上述11首詩外，另傳送16首詩和3篇短論給他。 台灣是世界模範國家，在武漢肺炎全世界擴大傳染的苦難中，政府正確又科學的初期對策奏效，全民過著正常生活。即使有關核電，也已經從日本事故中學到經驗，掌握正確方向。 拙詩蒙代表台灣的詩人李魁賢博士，親手翻譯成台灣使用語言，有幸能獲得理智的台灣方家閱讀，喜悅莫此為甚。 謹向李魁賢博士致上衷心謝忱。書籍簡介「然而所有陣亡者及其遺族不是報復但願人間不再發生這種慘事。」 ──〈不是報復〉（報復ではなく）311地震福島核電外洩、廣島及長崎原爆、911恐怖攻擊、日本慰安婦議題――多喜百合子在《世紀悲歌》中表達了對世界上種種悲劇的憤怒與憂慮，透過文字，作者向世界大聲疾呼。質樸的句子，蘊含的情感是如此沉重，讀起來令

Dear Reader, there is nothing to be found in the pages of A Series of Unfortunate Events but misery and despair. You still have time to choose another international best-seller to read. But if you must know what unpleasantries befall the charming and clever Baudelaire children read on… The Carnivorous Carnival contains such a distressing story that consuming any of its contents would be far more stomach-turning than even the most imbalanced meal.To avoid causing discomfort, it would be best if I didn’t mention any of the ingredients of this story, particularly a confusing map, an ambidextrous person, an unruly crowd, a wooden plank and Chabo the Wolf Baby. Your time might be better filled with something more palatable such as eating your vegetables or feeding them to someone else. In the tradition of great storytellers, from Dickens to Dahl, comes an exquisitely dark comedy that is both literary and irreverent, hilarious and deftly crafted.Despite their wretched contents, 'A Series of

And yet, life's battles can leave us scarred and changed. Why would we want to go back when what we've been through has taught us so much? It's time to bounce forwards instead.
