DOWNLOAD EBOOK《裸婚》里的很多地方都真实得近乎残酷，但真的很深刻，每个女人都应该看看。从结婚到离婚到再婚，态度一贯诙谐真诚。体裁是随笔，但因为通篇故事，所以读起来更是小说。与其他小说不同的是，该书真实。其中人物无一完美，而且前后诸多矛盾——但惟有矛盾和变化才构成真实的人生。这是作者自传性质的小说。本书的态度和观点，有很多前后矛盾的地方。但人走到不同位置，眼里的景观和心情必定不同，没有对错之分，只有高下之别，希望读者能在这矛盾当中悟到真实，看到一个女人在婚姻中真实的成长经历，或者会有所触动。这也就是这本书的中心观点。在作者笔下，生活的种种琐屑，都成为遍地镜子碎片，闪着领悟生命的灵光，映照出婚姻面前男男女女的情感世界。

DOWNLOAD EBOOKMore than 800,000 copies in print! From the author of critically acclaimed and bestselling memoir Falling Leaves, this is a poignant and moving true account of her childhood, growing up as an unloved daughter in 1940s China. A Chinese proverb says, "Falling leaves return to their roots." In her own courageous voice, Adeline Yen Mah returns to her roots to tell the story of her painful childhood and her ultimate triumph in the face of despair. Adeline's affluent, powerful family considers her bad luck after her mother dies giving birth to her, and life does not get any easier when her father remarries. Adeline and her siblings are subjected to the disdain of her stepmother, while her stepbrother and stepsister are spoiled with gifts and attention. Although Adeline wins prizes at school, they are not enough to compensate for what she really yearns for -- the love and understanding of her family. Like the classic Cinderella story, this powerful memoir is a moving story of resilience and hope. Includes an Author's Note, a 6-page photo insert, a historical note, and the Chinese text of the original Chinese Cinderella. A PW BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR AN ALA-YALSA BEST BOOK FOR YOUNG ADULTS “One of the most inspiring books I have ever read.” –The Guardian

DOWNLOAD EBOOKWith an introduction by award-winning novelist Barbara Kingsolver In the late nineteenth century, when the great powers in Europe were tearing Africa apart and seizing ownership of land for themselves, King Leopold of Belgium took hold of the vast and mostly unexplored territory surrounding the Congo River. In his devastatingly barbarous colonization of this area, Leopold stole its rubber and ivory, pummelled its people and set up a ruthless regime that would reduce the population by half. . While he did all this, he carefully constructed an image of himself as a deeply feeling humanitarian. Winner of the Duff Cooper Prize in 1999, King Leopold’s Ghost is the true and haunting account of this man’s brutal regime and its lasting effect on a ruined nation. It is also the inspiring and deeply moving account of a handful of missionaries and other idealists who travelled to Africa and unwittingly found themselves in the middle of a gruesome holocaust. Instead of turning away, these brave few chose to stand up against Leopold. Adam Hochschild brings life to this largely untold story and, crucially, casts blame on those responsible for this atrocity.
