Eat-Pray-Love(MTI)
One of the most iconic, beloved, and bestselling books of our time. This beautifully written, heartfelt memoir touched a nerve among both readers and reviewers. Elizabeth Gilbert tells how she made the difficult choice to leave behind all the trappings of modern American success (marriage, house in the country, career) and find, instead, what she truly wanted from life. Setting out for a year to study three different aspects of her nature amid three different cultures, Gilbert explored the art of pleasure in Italy and the art of devotion in India, and then a balance between the two on the Indonesian island of Bali. By turns rapturous and rueful, this wise and funny author (whom&Booklist&calls “Anne Lamott’s hip, yoga- practicing, footloose younger sister”) is poised to garner yet more adoring fans. & 108則享樂與平衡的故事 享受人生 體驗人生 熱愛人生 她在小時候有個夢想：以為自己長大後會是兒女成群的媽媽。但在30歲以後，她才發現自己既不想要小孩，也不想要丈夫。 <span century="" font-size:="" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; vert

The Shape of Water
The 2018 Academy Award's Best Picture of the Year and New York Times-bestselling novel, The Shape of Water. From visionary storyteller Guillermo del Toro and celebrated author Daniel Kraus comes this haunting, heartbreaking love story. "[A] phenomenally enrapturing and reverberating work of art in its own right...[that] vividly illuminates the minds of the characters, greatly enhancing our understanding of their temperaments and predicaments and providing more expansive and involving story lines." --Booklist It is 1962, and Elisa Esposito--mute her whole life, orphaned as a child--is struggling with her humdrum existence as a janitor working the graveyard shift at Baltimore's Occam Aerospace Research Center. Were it not for Zelda, a protective coworker, and Giles, her loving neighbor, she doesn't know how she'd make it through the day. Then, one fateful night, she sees something she was never meant to see, the Center's most sensitive asset ever: an amphibious man, captured in the Amazon, to be studied for Cold War advancements. The creature is terrifying but also magnificent, capable of language and of understanding emotions...and Elisa can't keep away. Using sign language, the two learn to communicate. Soon, affection turns into love, and the creature becomes Elisa's sole reason to live. But outside forces are pressing in. Richard Strickland, the obsessed soldier who tracked the asset through the Amazon, wants nothing more than to dissect it before the Russians get a chance to steal it. Elisa has no choice but to risk everything to save her beloved. With the help of Zelda and Giles, Elisa hatches a plan to break out the creature. But Strickland is on to them. And the Russians are, indeed, coming. Developed from the ground up as a bold two-tiered release--one story interpreted by two artists in the independent mediums of literature and film--The Shape of Water is unlike anything you've ever read or seen. "Most movie novelizations do little more than write down what audiences see on the screen. But the novel that's accompanying Guillermo del Toro's new movie The Shape of Water is no mere adaptation. Co-author Daniel Kraus' book and the film tell the same story, of a mute woman who falls in love with an imprisoned and equally mute creature, in two very different ways." --io9 Praise for The Shape of Water directed by Guillermo del Toro Winner of the 2018 Academy Award for Best Picture Winner of the 2018 Academy Award for Best Director Winner of the 2018 Academy Award for Music (Original Score) Winner of the 2018 Academy Award for Production Design Winner of the 2018 Golden Globe Award for Best Director of a Motion Picture "With encouragement from critics and awards voters, discerning viewers should make Fox Searchlight's December release the season's classiest date movie--for perhaps the greatest of The Shape of Water's many surprises is how extravagantly romantic it is." --Variety "A visually and emotionally ravishing fantasy that should find a welcome embrace from audiences starved for imaginative escape." --The Hollywood Reporter Awarded the Golden Lion for Best Film at the 74th Annual Venice International Film Festival

Passing
Passing by Nella Larsen, published in 1929, is a powerful novel exploring race, identity, and the concept of "passing" in Harlem during the Harlem Renaissance. The story centers on two childhood friends, Irene Redfield and Clare Kendry, both light-skinned Black women who have taken different paths regarding their racial identity. Clare "passes" as white, concealing her Black heritage and marrying a wealthy, openly racist white man, while Irene remains in the Black community and lives as a middle-class, respectable woman in Harlem.As their lives intersect, Irene becomes fascinated-and increasingly disturbed-by Clare's audacious approach to identity and societal boundaries. Larsen uses their complex relationship to examine the psychological and social costs of passing and the fraught nature of race, class, and gender in America. The novel's tense and ambiguous ending has sparked much discussion about themes of jealousy, loyalty, and the boundaries people create around themselves and others. Passing remains a significant work for its nuanced portrayal of identity and social constraints and its relevance to discussions on race and belonging.
