潘凯雄:“温馨地直面苦难,耐人寻味”

※ 采访录、游记与培根以降英国随笔的融合写作风格 ※ 近百幅职场真实摄影精美呈现 ※ 一本与工作有关的既痛苦悲哀又欣喜若狂的作品,我怎样才能把赚钱这种行为与成就感联系在一起?我期望达致什么样的成功?我应该怎么样面对我的生活? 在本书中,英伦才子阿兰·德波顿以哲学家的跳脱视角审视劳作、职业、个人爱好在人生中的位置,以小说家的生动笔触、学问家的敏锐深沉探究种种职业鲜为人知的奥秘、种种匪夷所思的业余爱好所带来的乐趣。 德波顿的新书也许可以看做是18世纪启蒙主义作家伏尔泰的哲理小说《老实人》(1759年)的“互文”。在伏尔泰那里,人世远非完美,而工作可以使人免除三大恶事:无聊、罪恶和匮乏,他的主人公康拉德之口说出了为许多人认同的大实话:“还是种咱们的园地要紧。”岁月匆匆流逝,如水、如梭、如青山之巅的浮云。250年后的德波顿,亦对工作寄予深情,只是视角已有些许改变,更多着眼于工作带来的“喜悦与悲哀”,在他笔下,工作以及具有“副业”性质的业余爱好虽然极具挑战性,有挫折、有艰辛,却是人生最享受、最持久、最有益的乐趣。“工作能够转移我们的注意力,给我们一个美好的气泡、让我们置身于其中,去使人生臻于完美。”工作就是生活。

China's Hidden Children: Abandonment, Adoption, and the Human Costs of the One-Child Policy 台湾 The veteran biographer Evan ThomasIn the thirty five years since China instituted its One Child Policy, 120,000 childrenmostly girlshave left China through international adoption, including 85,000 to the United States. Its generally assumed that this diaspora is the result of Chinas approach to population control, but there is also the underlying belief that the majority of adoptees are daughters because the One Child Policy often collides with the traditional preference for a son.
