《曹雪芹風箏藝術》被評為2006年度「世界最美的書」

文學巨匠曹雪芹及其《紅樓夢》，早已是家喻戶曉，盡人皆知。 但很少有人知道，曹雪芹還寫過一部名為《南鷂北鳶考工志》的書，專門講述了風箏的「紮、糊、繪、放」四藝，從而創立了「曹氏風箏」這一民間工藝品。 《曹雪芹風箏藝術》，第一次向世人介紹了作為演出者的曹雪芹和「曹氏風箏」藝術。

曹雪芹是中國最偉大的文學家之一，也是一位傑出的演出者。 他的佚著《南鷂北鳶考工志》和他創制的曹氏風箏藝術是曹雪芹留給後人的珍貴的藝術遺產。

The Silk Roads: A New History of the World

by Peter Frankopan

Far more than a history of the Silk Roads, this book is truly a revelatory new history of the world, promising to destabilize notions of where we come from and where we are headed next. From the Middle East and its political instability to China and its economic rise, the vast region stretching eastward from the Balkans across the steppe and South Asia has been thrust into the global spotlight in recent years. Frankopan teaches us that to understand what is at stake for the cities and nations built on these intricate trade routes, we must first understand their astounding pasts.

Frankopan realigns our understanding of the world, pointing us eastward. It was on the Silk Roads that East and West first encountered each other through trade and conquest, leading to the spread of ideas, cultures and religions. From the rise and fall of empires to the spread of Buddhism and the advent of Christianity and Islam, right up to the great wars of the twentieth century—this book shows how the fate of the West has always been inextricably linked to the East.
