WINNER OF THE ANDREW CARNEGIE MEDAL FOR EXCELLENCE IN NONFICTION
WINNER OF THE NIB LITERARY AWARD
FINALIST FOR THE KIRKUS PRIZE FOR NONFICTION
HIGHLY COMMENDED IN THE WAINWRIGHT PRIZE FOR WRITING ON GLOBAL CONSERVATION

‘There is a kind of hauntedness in wild animals today: a spectre related to environmental change … Our fear is that the unseen spirits that move in them are ours. Once more, animals are a moral force.’

When Rebecca Giggs encountered a humpback whale stranded on her local beach in Australia, she began to wonder how the lives of whales might shed light on the condition of our seas. How do whales experience environmental change? Has our connection to these fabled animals been transformed by technology? What future awaits us, and them? And what does it mean to write about nature in the midst of an ecological crisis?

In Fathoms: the world in the whale, Giggs blends natural history, philosophy, and science to explore these questions with clarity and hope. In lively, inventive prose, she introduces us to whales so rare they have never been named; she tells us of the astonishing variety found in whale sounds, and of whale ‘pop’ songs that sweep across hemispheres. She takes us into the deeps to discover that one whale’s death can spark a great flourishing of creatures. We travel to Japan to board whaling ships, examine the uncanny charisma of these magnificent mammals, and confront the plastic pollution now pervading their underwater environment.

In the spirit of Rachel Carson and John Berger, Fathoms is a work of profound insight and wonder. It marks the arrival of an essential new voice in narrative nonfiction and provides us with a powerful, surprising, and compelling view of some of the most urgent issues of our time.

～從故事啟航的內在探索之旅～
★以奠基於榮格的深度心理學解析「愛麗絲夢遊仙境」、「小王子」、「黑貓」、「綠野仙蹤」等11個故事的象徵。
★釐清「童年、青少年、中年、以及老年」4大人生階段的心靈任務。

「那些我們視之為童話或兒童青少年文學的故事至少向我們提供了兩座橋樑，
一座通往我以外的他人，一座通往內心的自己。」
我們能夠很容易地從故事得到向外的啟發，
而通往內在的途徑，則能靠心理學來幫我們指認出來。

在故事之中，我們會與自己相逢，乃至與更大的整體相逢。
誠摯地邀請每個大人一起用深度及存在心理學的眼光重讀一遍書裡的故事，
在掩卷之後，走入自我的個體化旅程。

在上集 (潛意識與永恆少年)，【夢與潛意識】、【永恆少年】這兩大篇章，
為我們指出「孩子如何跨越至青春期」，「青少年期的重要原型」等成長時期的重要主題。

在下集 (陰影與個體化)，【陰影】、【個體化】這兩大篇章，
指出「中年危機的首要功課」，「人生下半場的最終追尋」等，
這些屬於成人的重要任務。

First Person Singular: Stories

Haruki Murakami

“Some novelists hold a mirror up to the world and some, like Haruki Murakami, use the mirror as a portal to a universe hidden beyond it.” —The Wall Street Journal

A mind-bending new collection of short stories from the internationally acclaimed Haruki Murakami.

The eight stories in this new book are all told in the first person by a classic Murakami narrator. From memories of youth, meditations on music, and an ardent love of baseball, to dreamlike scenarios and invented jazz albums, together these stories challenge the boundaries between our minds and the exterior world. Occasionally, a narrator may or may not be Murakami himself. Is it memoir or fiction? The reader decides.

Philosophical and mysterious, the stories in First Person Singular all touch beautifully on love and solitude, childhood and memory. . . all with a signature Murakami twist.
