A girl in Zambia who defies her mother and goes to school, Dalits in India who win an international prize, migrant workers in Cambodia and Hong Kong who become labour activists.

Eminent Chinese scholar John Minford’s superb translation captures the consummate skill and understated humor of Pu Songling’s classic Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio. With elegant prose, witty wordplay, and subtle charm, the 104 stories in this collection reveal a world in which nothing is as it seems. In his tales of shape-shifting spirits, bizarre phenomena, haunted buildings, and enchanted objects, Pu Songling pushes the boundaries of human experience and enlightens as he entertains.

著名影評人雷恩 (Tony Rayns) 稱關錦鵬為「落入凡間的天使」，一語道破關錦鵬這位擁有天使心靈的導演，如何在電影工業的頹垣敗瓦中存活的夾縫處境。關錦鵬恆常言道：「當導演就要做到『既近且遠、既遠且近』的境界。」他的作品正是以這種美學原則，塑造了許多不朽和豐富的文化影像。我們無法忘懷《胭脂扣》中如花與十二少的頹廢、《阮玲玉》中一代女星的孤寂、《藍宇》中兩個男人於午夜街頭的擁抱、《愈快樂愈墮落》中那風起雲湧的青馬大橋……這種夾縫處境及遠近美學，讓他在商業主流與文人風範之間、在女性電影與酷兒論述之間、於家國以外，造就另一片風景，並以說書人的身份，繼續為這個城市空間編織傳奇。

Ten Eternal Questions asks leading political, artistic, and religious figures the timeless spiritual questions. "What is your concept of God?" "Do you think this life is all there is?" are just two of the ten questions author Zo Sallis puts to such diverse figures as Nelson Mandela and U2's Bono, Shimon Peres and Jack Nicholson, Paulo Coelho and the Dalai Lama. Chapters are organized by question with extracts drawn from Sallis's interviews with almost 40 personalities, among them Bob Geldof, Gore Vidal, Prince Mangosuthu Buthelezi, Gianfranco Ferre, Farah Pahlavi (the exiled Empress of Iran), Anjelica Huston, as well as other artists, scientists, and religious figures. In these days of increasing commercialism and religious polarization, this absorbing book speaks to an impulse for a stronger spiritual dimension in our lives and its range of answers spontaneous, surprising, and insightful; provocative, considered, and personally revealing offers readers much to ponder and reflect upon in their own quest to understand life's mysteries.
