隐士是中国历史上一个非常独特的文化现象。在那为数众多的历代隐士群体中，纵然也有不少佛、道教的信徒，但他们却主要不是出于宗教信仰而隐居的。他们的隐居，主要是为了实现自我，按自己喜欢的生活方式过自己的生活。他们的隐居，开始也许是出于一种政治态度和政治选择，逐渐就转化、发展成一种生活方式和人生价值追求，并最终趋向一种审美境界和文化追求。在这个过程中，隐士们以自己的种种价值认定、人生实践和文化创造极大地影响了中国的历史文化传统。《适性任情的审美人生：隐逸文化与休闲》对中国古代隐逸文化做了认真地梳理、耙块，并探讨了中国隐逸文化的理想与价值追求、精神。

On December 4th, 1872, a 100-foot brigantine was discovereddrifting through the North Atlantic without a soul on board. Not asign of struggle, not a shred of damage, no ransacked cargo—and nota trace of the captain, his wife and daughter, or the crew. Whathappened on board the ghost ship Mary Celeste has baffled andtantalized the world for 130 years. In his stunning new book,award-winning journalist Brian Hicks plumbs the depths of thisfabled nautical mystery and finally uncovers the truth. The Mary Celeste was cursed as soon as she was launched on theBay of Fundy in the spring of 1861. Her first captain died beforecompleting the maiden voyage. In London she accidentally rammed andsank an English brig. Later she was abandoned after a storm droveher ashore at Cape Breton. But somehow the ship was recovered andrefitted, and in the autumn of 1872 she fell to the reluctantcommand of a seasoned mariner named Benjamin Spooner Briggs. It wasBriggs who was at the helm when the Mary Celeste sailed intoh

YA. Despite impoverishing his family because of his alcoholism, McCourt's father passed on to his son a gift for superb storytelling. He told him about the great Irish heroes, the old days in Ireland, the people in their Limerick neighborhood, and the world beyond their shores. McCourt writes in the voice of the child?with no self-pity or review of events?and just retells the tales. He recounts his desperately poor early years, living on public assistance and losing three siblings, but manages to make the book funny and uplifting. Stories of trying on his parents' false teeth and his adventures as a post-office delivery boy will have readers laughing out loud. Young people will recognize the truth in these compelling tales; the emotions expressed; the de*ions of teachers, relatives, neighbors; and the casual cruelty adults show toward children. Readers will enjoy the humor and the music in the language. A vivid, wonderfully readable memoir.?Patricia Noonan, Prince William Public Library, VA Copyright 19
