AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES, USA TODAY, AND AMAZON BESTSELLER America’s most effective conservative intellectual proves once and for all that Marxist radicals have taken over our nation's institutions. In the 1960s, Mao launched China’s Cultural Revolution. Cities grew overcrowded.Technocrats demanded progress from above. Anyone opposed was sent to be “re-educated.” China’s revolution was bloody, fast, and a failure, but what if America started a revolution at the same time, based on the same bad ideas, and it’s just been slower, calmer, and more effective?In his powerful new book, Christopher F. Rufo uncovers the hidden history of left-wing intellectuals and activists who systematically took control of America’s institutions to undermine them from within.America’s Cultural Revolution finally answers so many of the questions normal Americans have, such as:• Why is nearly every major corporation bending the knee to a far-left agenda?• How did DEI suddenly become the department no institut
2012諾貝爾文學獎得主──莫言最具代表性的中短篇小說集：《透明的紅蘿蔔》《藏寶圖》《紅耳朵》《球狀閃電》「莫言將夢幻寫實主義與民間故事、歷史和當代社會合而為一。」──諾貝爾獎委員會The Nobel Prize in Literature 2012 was awarded to Mo Yan "who with hallucinatory realism merges folk tales, history and the contemporary".／《透明的紅蘿蔔》莫言：我重讀〈透明的紅蘿蔔〉這篇小說，雖然能從中看出許多笨句和敗筆，但我也知道，我再也寫不出這樣的小說了。收入這套中篇小說集中的作品，基本上是以我的高密東北鄉為背景寫的，但風格還是有變化，有的質樸，有的荒誕，有的幽默，有的妖魅……讀小說有點像嚼檳榔，或者說，我的小說有點像檳榔，喜歡者會被它的古怪味道吸引並嚼之上癮，不喜歡者則入口即吐。因之猜想，我這套書的讀者，都是我的老讀者，他們或她們都是我的朋友。我就是為朋友在寫作啊。朋友們從這些中篇裡，大約可以讀出一個年輕時的莫言和比較年輕時的莫言，這應該是故事之外的收穫。──莫言本書收錄莫言九篇重要中篇小說：透明的紅蘿蔔、爆炸、金髮嬰兒、歡樂、你的行為使我們恐懼、懷抱鮮花的女人、夢境與雜種、幽默與趣味、流水。其中，莫言成名代表作〈透明的紅蘿蔔〉，講述的是一個關於「飢餓」的故事：一個在運河工地幹活的十二歲「黑孩」，因飢餓難耐，到旁邊的菜地裡拔了一根紅蘿蔔充饑，被抓到後，上百人圍著他召開批鬥大會，人們高呼口號，必欲滅之而後快。「黑孩」後來逃走了。在不斷的貧困飢餓交雜中，他看到了一幅奇特美麗的景像：泛著藍藍幽光的鐵砧子上，有一個金色的紅蘿蔔。紅蘿蔔的形狀和大小像一個大梨，拖著一條長尾巴，尾巴上的根根鬚鬚像金色的羊毛。紅蘿蔔晶瑩透明，玲瓏剔透……，小說將黑孩的面對「飢餓」與困頓生活的無盡想像與悲涼，淋漓呈現，令人動容。莫言的小說，一向以「夢幻寫實」的豐富想像力著稱，他擅長說一個好聽的故事，像一位調皮的孩子，大膽、奔放，言人不敢言，寫人不敢寫的題材，同時在充滿幽默的故事中，寫出對家鄉高密的關注、對人性的深刻思索。這本中篇小說集，可以看到莫言成熟的寫作風格，以及他創作歷程階段性的轉變。 是研究莫言作品的讀者必備的書單，同時對喜愛莫言的讀者，絕對是另一個精彩的閱讀享受。／《
