我的天!能不能?|London:2000 Years Of A City And Its People

Updated: May 6, 2021

如果喺現實中要揀一件最似時光機嘅物事,一定係書。裏面嘅文字、畫面,就係帶你穿越時間空間嘅工具。今期「書店快樂」新上架:

.

荷里活導演基斯杜化路蘭 (Christopher Nolan) 新戲《天能》,近日又成話題。路蘭前作《星際效應》(港譯《星際啟示錄》),當年同樣引起全球熱議,《星際效應: 電影幕後的科學事實、推測與想像》作者係呢套戲嘅科學顧問暨執行製作人,2017年獲頒諾貝爾物理學獎。佢以電影情節及場景為藍本,用淺白語言拆解廣義相對論與量子力學等概念。如有疑惑,"Don't try to understand it, just feel it"。

.

路蘭話,時間可順行也可逆行,咁又可否變長變短呢?《生命的時間學》作者以其物理、哲學及生物物理學學術背景,探究大腦如何感受時間。想知道多啲「控制時間」嘅秘訣,睇下呢本書啦。

.

近年香港吹起一陣菲林熱潮,影相的確可以留住時間嘅溫度、速度、溫柔和憤怒。《森山大道,我的寫真全貌》係日本街拍大師森山大道嘅自述,帶你深入解讀佢嘅創作手法同影像思考。本書另一部份係森山大道與同代攝影宗師對談,會令你更瞭解不同派別恢宏獨到嘅時間空間美學觀。

.

今個月係張愛玲百歲冥誕,繼《傾城之戀》後,今期有《對照記》以饗讀者。本書收錄1990年代張愛玲晚年散文作品,乃其寫作生涯中唯一自傳體圖文集。書中羅列照片,都經過祖師奶奶親自篩選。如果有時光機,你想同邊個時期嘅佢再遇?

.

London:2000 Years of a City and Its People 一書睇晒一個文化重鎮二千年來興衰,平民貴族如何生活,藝文圈子如何發夢。用近千插圖以及細膩文字描畫倫敦過去,會否啟發你對佢將來嘅想像?

. 今期重有《幾人相憶在江樓-豐子愷的抒情漫畫》、另一日本攝影宗師荒木經惟嘅《寫真的話》、以及為有才華卻冇自信嘅人而寫嘅專書《冒牌者症候群》,還有更多。好書每星期上架,嚟「書店快樂」逛下啦:https://www.read-cycling.org/book-shopping . 所有書籍均以原價約三成出售,可以信用卡、PayPal或現金付款,結帳後即可預約取書,或選擇順豐快運送抵指定地點。

================

London:2000 Years of a City and Its People traces the development of London through the ages: from the first rough dwellings on the Thames marshes in the first century A.D to the sprawling, many-faced city of today. Through the eyes of contemporary writers, artists, actors and musicians, recording, you'll wander around with them the applauding and sometimes despairing of the London they knew, accompanied with almost 1000 illustrations, many of them never reproduced before.
