Olga Kotarczuk 奧爾嘉．朵卡萩套書( 一套5本)The Empusium By Olga Tokarczuk 2024。 Robert M. Pirsig (1928-2017)。 最出色的寓言大師——李歐．李奧尼（Leo Lionni）的經典繪本《小塊》（Pezzettino）。

The Empusium

By Olga Tokarczuk

The Polish Nobelist’s subtle and provocative response to Thomas Mann’s “The Magic Mountain” is likewise set in a German sanitarium on the eve of World War I. Subtitled “A Health Resort Horror Story,” it’s a good deal more. As its young hero submits to the ministrations of his doctors and the musings of his fellow patients, larger — and often darker — philosophical arguments unspool.

這位波蘭諾貝爾獎得主對托馬斯·曼的《魔山》的微妙而挑釁性的回應同樣以第一次世界大戰前夕的德國療養院為背景。豐富。當年輕的英雄屈服於醫生的服務和病友的沉思時，更大的——通常是更黑暗的——哲學爭論開始展開。

Olga Tokarczuk was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature for 2018 in December 2019, becoming the fifth Polish-language laureate. For decades, she has been the best-selling author in Poland.

"Literature, most of all the novel, teaches us empathy and appeals to our empathy. How else could we understand the motivation of the central characters? Here we have a unique opportunity to get away from ourselves, to become someone else for a while and to look at the world through their eyes."

In a recent interview, Olga Tokarczuk credits literature for her fascination with psychology. She worked as a psychologist before her literary career although she admits that theory interested her more than working with people.

"I taught myself to read, I’m not sure exactly when, as if it were something as natural as walking. I have often wondered whether the ability to read is built into our brains as a potential skill, or whether perhaps we inherit it from our ancestors who learned to read during their lives, in which instance I suspect it would only go a few generations back. In my case this ability was definitely to do with the fact that I was brought up among books – my dad ran the school library, and I dug around in them from early childhood. They weren’t books for children at all. One of my favourite early books was a collection of partisan songs. I knew how to sing them, so reading with understanding came to me naturally and easily. Among the hundreds of volumes eagerly borrowed by the pupils there were also art books and encyclopaedias. I can boldly say that encyclopaedias were my favourite literary genre throughout my childhood – my first “constellation” reading matter."

When did you learn to read?

🎂 Happy birthday to Robert M. Pirsig (1928-2017), American author of Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, a dense and discursive novel of ideas which became an unlikely publishing phenomenon in the mid-1970s and a touchstone in the waning days of the counterculture. 👇

"When one person suffers from a delusion, it is called insanity. When many people suffer from a delusion it is called a Religion."

"The place to improve the world is first in one's own heart and head and hands, and then work outward from there."

"The truth knocks on the door and you say, 'Go away, I'm looking for the truth,' and so it goes away. Puzzling."

"To live only for some future goal is shallow. It's the sides of the mountain that sustain life, not the top."

"The only Zen you can find on the tops of mountains is the Zen you bring up there."

一個叫做「小塊」的故事主角，有個煩惱。

他生活在一個其他人都又高又大的世界裡，大家都喜愛冒險，並且做一些很棒的事。但他自己卻顯得小得可憐。

他想，自己一定是某個傢伙身上的一小塊。

於是，有一天他決定出發，去尋找屬於自己的答案。

一路上，他遇見了跑步的、強壯的、游水的、爬山的，在天上飛的......

每遇到一個，他都會問：「我是你身上的一小塊嗎？」然而，大家聽了他的問題，都反問他一句：如果他身上少掉一小塊，他還會這麼厲害嗎?

小塊急得哭了出來。「我一定是某個傢伙的一小塊吧？」 他說，「我要怎樣才能找到他呢?」

那麼，小塊究竟屬於誰呢？

《小塊》（Pezzettino）是20 世紀最出色的寓言大師——李歐．李奧尼（Leo Lionni）的經典繪本。

今年出版 50 週年，跨越世代的不滅傑作。

李歐．李奧尼運用了拼貼技法與色彩繽紛的小方塊，創作出這則充滿視覺魅力的寓言故事，並生動地捕捉了孩子們在大人世界中最深切的渴望。

書中沒有具象的角色，純粹運用簡單的色塊與拼貼來講述動人的故事，敘事簡潔卻深刻，洞察人性，意涵深遠。

更難能可貴的是，李歐．李奧尼巧妙地解答了每個人心中都懷疑過的問題：「我是誰？」「我屬於哪裡？」「為什麼只有我不一樣？」這些問題讓每位讀者都能在故事中解讀自己與他人之間的關係。

​​這本書也是我們「小塊」 品牌外文名稱Pezzettino的靈感來源。

願這部美好的作品陪伴大小讀者，走過每一段追尋自我認同的旅程。
