內容簡介

For years, Nadezhda and Vera, two Ukrainian sisters, raised in England by their refugee parents, have had as little as possible to do with each other - and they have their reasons. But now they find they'd better learn how to get along, because since their mother's death their aging father has been sliding into his second childhood, and an alarming new woman has just entered his life. Valentina, a bosomy young synthetic blonde from the Ukraine, seems to think their father is much richer than he is, and she is keen that he leave this world with as little money to his name as possible.If Nadazhda and Vera don't stop her, no one will. But separating their addled and annoyingly lecherous dad from his new love will prove to be no easy feat - Valentina is a ruthless pro and the two sisters swiftly realize that they are mere amateurs when it comes to ruthlessness. As Hurricane Valentina turns the family house upside down, old secrets come falling out, including the most deeply buried one of them all, from the War, the one that explains much about why Nadazhda and Vera are so different. In the meantime, oblivious to it all, their father carries on with the great work of his dotage, a grand history of the tractor.

精彩書評

More than just a jolly romp with political undertones is the way it captures the peculiar flavour of Eastern European immigrant life . . . a very rich mixture indeed, as well as very enjoyable reading.
--The Times

A delightful first novel . . . an understanding of history, a profundity, and yet a lightness of touch, that are a joy . . . funny, touching and completely convincing.
--The Spectator

　　柯林斯拉丁語—英語雙嚮詞典提供瞭很多古代人名（比如Cicero【西塞羅】）、地名（比如Parthenope【那不勒斯】）、民族名（比如Celtae【剋爾特人】）和神話知識（比如Apollo，解釋為 Greek god of music, archery, prophecy, flocks and herds, and often identified with the sun），這樣使讀者初步瞭解古代社會和文化。在書的中間位置（在拉英詞典和英拉詞典中間）還插入許多關於古羅馬曆史文化的錶格，如“羅馬史重大事件錶”（從公元前753年羅馬建城到哥特人公元410年入侵為止）、“羅馬管理製度和官製錶”、“羅馬軍隊組織錶”、“傢譜錶”（包含各種親戚關係的名稱）、“古羅馬重要作者錶”（從Ennius【恩尼烏斯】到Plinius minor【小普林尼】，但不包含古代晚期的作者，如Augustinus【奧古斯丁】）。一份長達9頁的對照錶列齣瞭歐洲地名的古代寫法和現代（英語）寫法，比如York（約剋）在古代稱Eburacum。這些地名資料對研究歐洲曆史文獻的學者來說非常重要。

This book has been described as a world-class masterpiece and indeed fascinating like so. Once I open this book, I just can’t put it down. Thus I recommend this book for all of you, my dear friends. This book has been described as a masterpiece, and for good reason. Through this "genealogy" of history, Foucault shows us how modern society has become penal and coercive in nature; and perhaps more importantly, that all us now live in the midst of an abstract, authoritative public "gaze." Discipline and Punish is still relevant for today, even though the Panopticon has vanished. I think this book is brilliant and disturbing. It is not always easy to read, but then, what book worth reading is? Foucault is given to dramatic images, and he does little to mitigate the impact of these images on the reader. Perhaps he is really trying to increase this impact. Since he is attempting to counter the powers of normalization, he may need all of the momentum he can get. 本書旨在論述關於現代靈魂與一種新的審判權力之間相互關係的曆史，論述現行的科學一法律綜閤體的係譜。在這種綜閤體中。懲罰權力獲得瞭自身的基礎、證明和規則。擴大瞭自己的效應，並且用這種綜閤體掩飾自己超常的獨特性。本書所考察的懲罰權力的曆史包括三個階段：中世紀末和舊製度時期作為王權武器的酷刑；18世紀末，包括法國大革命時期人道主義的“再現”式懲罰；19世紀開始的、使用現代規訓技術的監獄和普遍化的監視。書中提到的“古典時期，不是指古希臘羅馬時期的古典古代，而是指近代絕對君主製和法國大革命時期，大體上與西方文學史上所說的古典主義文學時期一緻。本書中這一術語的用法與福柯其他著作中的用法也是一緻的。關於古典時期的懲罰權力，書中概括為“錶象的、戲劇性的、能指的、公開的、集體的方式”。這裏的錶象一詞在書中有的場閤根據上下文譯為“觀念”或“再現”。錶象或再現是福柯用以描述古典時期“權力一知識”綜閤體的一個重要術語。這種觀點是與他在1966年發錶的《詞與物》（英譯版《事物的秩序》）一脈相承的。在《詞與物》中，福柯考察瞭近代西方的“知識型的替嬗。其中，他認為17—18世紀古典時期知識型的特點是，詞並不直接錶示物，而是一種符號，而符號隻是對其他符號的“再現”。詞組成瞭享有特權的符號係統。人們用詞的秩序來再現物的秩序。

　　“拉丁語—英語詞典”雖然不太厚，隻有236頁，但其詞匯量相當大，完全能滿足初學者的需要。“英語—拉丁語詞典”的部分（192頁）能幫助學生造拉丁語句子或進行翻譯工作，而且在一定程度上也起到“同義詞詞典”的作用。比如查英語的good就有拉丁語的bonus, probus, idoneus, aptus；查grand就發現拉丁語有很多同義詞：amplus, illustris, egregius, lautus, magnificus, grandis, sublimis。多查多學這些同義詞和近義詞能豐富詞匯，並且培養拉丁語和英語口纔及優美和準確的錶達方式。
