“There’s probably no better account of China’s rise to economic dominance as seen through the prism of a single company.”–The Wall Street Journal

ABOUT THE BOOK

The untold story of the mysterious company that shook the world.

On the coast of southern China, an eccentric entrepreneur spent three decades steadily building an obscure telecom company into one of the world’s most powerful technological empires with hardly anyone noticing. This all changed in December 2018, when the detention of Meng Wanzhou, Huawei Technologies’ female scion, sparked an international hostage standoff, poured fuel on the US-China trade war, and suddenly thrust the mysterious company into the global spotlight.

In House of Huawei, Washington Post technology reporter Eva Dou pieces together a remarkable portrait of Huawei’s reclusive founder, Ren Zhengfei, and how he built a sprawling corporate empire—one whose rise Western policymakers have become increasingly obsessed with halting. Based on wide-ranging interviews and painstaking archival research, House of Huawei dissects the global web of power, money, influence, surveillance, bloodshed, and national glory that Huawei helped to build—and that has also ensnared it.

The Melancholy of Resistance

WINNER OF THE 2025 NOBEL PRIZE

The Hungarian master’s first work to appear in English, and still one of the best

A powerful, surreal novel, in the tradition of Gogol, about the chaotic events surrounding the arrival of a circus in a small Hungarian town. The Melancholy of Resistance, László Krasznahorkai's magisterial, surreal novel, depicts a chain of mysterious events in a small Hungarian town. A circus, promising to display the stuffed body of the largest whale in the world, arrives in the dead of winter, prompting bizarre rumors. Word spreads that the circus folk have a sinister purpose in mind, and the frightened citizens cling to any manifestation of order they can find music, cosmology, fascism. The novel's characters are unforgettable: the evil Mrs. Eszter, plotting her takeover of the town; her weakling husband; and Valuska, our hapless hero with his head in the clouds, who is the tender center of the book, the only pure and noble soul to be found. Compact, powerful and intense, The Melancholy of Resistance, as its enormously gifted translator George Szirtes puts it, "is a slow lava flow of narrative, a vast black river of type." And yet, miraculously, the novel, in the words of The Guardian, "lifts the reader along in lunar leaps and bounds."

榮獲第五屆香港出版雙年獎：最佳出版獎（社會科學)、2024 美國建築師學會香港特別嘉許獎狀、粵港澳大灣區書籍設計藝術展（2025）優秀圖書等獎項

由零開始，還原本地粗獷建築的精神面貌

多年來粗獷建築均被誤解，有人認為與城市空間格格不入，另外也有人批評混凝土外觀冰冷無味，殘破不堪。有人嫌它醜，更多人其實是一無所知。

粗獷主義（Brutalism）提倡「As Found」概念：追求真實的材料運用，如實地設計當下現況，讓建築呈現最客觀的現實。

1960至1980年代為戰後與經濟起飛之間的年代，香港開始與世界脈搏同步呼吸。本書介紹的20組香港粗獷建築及12位建築師的故事，展現出緊貼世界潮流的觸覺。前衛的設計，令本土的城市風景增添了國際化的色彩。同時也反映當時的人文風景：樸實無華，追求基本生活的精神。

長達三年的研究試圖填補歷史的空白，打開討論的大門，讓專業人士、保育專家和普羅大眾共同尋找這批建築的「未知的」命運：是「去」？或是「留」？
