Book Description
Sweet Sweat, the only novel by Belgian artist Justine Frank, is unusual, to say the least—a blend of feminism, pornography, Judaism, and art, written in French in 1931. Its heroine is a Jewish girl named Rachel, born in the South of France, who has an outstanding talent for debauchery and crime. She takes up with the sybaritic Count Urdukas and sets out with him on an odyssey of pleasure and corruption marked by bizarre events in which horror and humor mingle. This comprehensive new edition of Frank's novel includes an essay and an extensive biography by Israeli American writer and artist Roee Rosen and a timeline tracing key moments in Frank's life, providing a definitive analysis of this once-scandalous novel and its historical and cultural contexts. [As he hovered] over the skinny body, his nostrils were filled with the aroma of horror-sweat that poured from Rachel. He was swept by the scent. His breathing became a guttural purr and his eyes glazed over. Oh, shrewd liqueur of tropical fruits! Ah, venomous crème de cassis! Hurrah, distilled, tyrannical sweetness, tainted neither by a salty tint nor sour hint! Never had the Count been caught by such a fire as was ignited by this sweetness... a carnivorous perfume, as seismic as epilepsy... A smut potion worthy of the sacred nostrils of the Pope! —Justine Frank, Sweet Sweat, 1931 Roee Rosen's paintings, films, and writings have become known for their historical and theological consciousness, novelistic imagination, and psychological ambition. His work addresses the representation of history, the political economy of memory, and the politics of identity, often exploring the tension between trauma, horror, humor, and truth. Rosen was born in Rehovot, Israel, in 1963, and received degrees in visual art from the School of Visual Arts and Hunter College, both in New York. He now lives in Israel, where he teaches art and art history at Bezalel Academy of Art and at Beit Berl College. In 1997 Rosen's controversial exhibition “Live and Die as Eva Braun” at The Israel Museum, Jerusalem, was aggressively attacked by Israeli politicians. It won critical praise, however, for its new approach to the representation of the memory of the Holocaust. Rosen's projects include the exhibition “Justine Frank (1900–1943): A Retrospective” (2009) and the films Two Women and a Man (2005) and The Confessions of Roee Rosen (2008). He has authored the books A Different Face (Shva, 2000), Lucy (Shadurian, 2000), Sweet Sweat (Babel, 2001), and Ziona™ (Keter, 2007). Copublished with Extra City

Book Description
"I first started running in the summer of 1978 to win the heart of a girl, but instead, I found God. He chose running to be one of the the places he revealed himself to me. Through my time alone, on my feet, the God of my parents and my grandparents became my God. It was on the road and on the trail that my relationship with God became personal. We developed a friendship which grew bigger than church and became deeper than rules of behavior."--Page 4 of cover.

Book Description
This collection gathers new essays by critics and scholars who are currently reshaping our sense of the function and nature of seventeenth-century poetry. Contributors return to the New Critical canon of Renaissance poetry with fresh perspectives that emphasize considerations of gender, ideology, power, and language. In the first group of essays, David Norbrook, Annabel Patterson, John Guillory, Rosemary Kegl, and Stephen Orgel explore the various ways in which a text can be "political." Next, Arthur Marotti, Jane Tylus, and Jonathan Goldberg consider the circumstances of textual production and reception in the seventeenth century. Finally, Stanley Fish, Gordon Braden, Michael C. Schoenfeldt, and Maureen Quilligan discuss the particular forms of anxiety that result when seventeenth-century poets modify the traditional rhetoric of sexual desire to serve what seem to be erotic or religious purposes. These essays, accompanied by an extensive editors' introduction, intersect less in their shared enthusiasm for particular authors or interpretative methods than in a common interest in particular critical issues. They present the most exciting work by critics redefining Renaissance studies.

Book Description
Literary and sociological studies have long been fascinated by the seemingly innocuous substance of sugar, not least because of its direct link with the histories of slavery in the New World. Unlike previous texts, Slaves to Sweetness examines not only traditional, classic studies of the history of sugar, but also explores the previously ignored work produced by expatriate Caribbean authors from the 1980s onward. As a result, this volume provides the most comprehensive account to date of the historical transformations undergone by our representations of sugar, making it a rich resource for scholars in numerous fields.

※電子書不含VCD內容 在「吸英大法」中， 陳光老師將以「邏輯式超強記憶法」取代目前坊間流行的「圖像式記憶法」，教導讀者如何在考前臨陣磨槍, 如何用右腦來作弊，並傳授讀者學習在一個小時之內背400個英文單字的密笈。 坊間目前有許多教導超強記憶的補習班， 強調要用圖像來幫助記憶。圖像的確可以加強印像，幫助記憶，但是，它們同樣會耗去大腦許多的記憶容量，因此，在剛開始時，一般人會覺得圖像記憶的方法效果驚人，但是，只要時間一久，大腦就會不堪負荷，記憶的速度也會越來越慢，最後根本就是徒勞無功。 舉例來說，如果要從電腦裡找出「林志玲」的資料，校出「林志玲」這三個字，絕對會比校出林志玲的照片還要快上許多！不論你用的是新電腦還是舊電腦，文字檔比圖檔快的定律是不會改變的。因此，為了要節省電腦的硬碟空間，許多人在存取資料時會盡量使用文字檔，避免使用太多的圖檔，因為，圖檔過多不但會讓電腦的程式跑得慢，也容易讓電腦當機。 人類的頭腦和電腦一樣，不管有再多的記憶空間，容量都是有限的，所以，如果想要快速又大量的記憶資訊，絕對不能夠單靠圖像來輔助，圖像除了會讓大腦的運轉速度變慢外，也會佔據大量的記憶空間，造成資訊混亂，讓大腦當機！ 要如何騙過大腦，讓大腦用最有效率的方法處理大量而龐雜的資訊，並且不會當機呢? 只有陳光老師的「吸英大法」可以做到！「吸英大法」運用的邏輯式超強記憶法，不僅可以運用在英文學習上, 也可以運用其他語言的學習上以及日常生活裡的大小事記憶, 不管是中文、日文、法文．．． 還是人名、地名、時間．．．所有必須要靠死背來處理的資訊，都可以運用「吸英大法」裡的技巧來解決。 出版社 布克文化
