In this spellbinding biography, Todd interweaves the life ofMaria Sibylla Merian, a German artist and naturalist who becamefamous in the seventeenth century for her engravings ofcaterpillars, with the intellectual and scientific history ofmetamorphosis. At a time when theories of spontaneous generationwere popular, and when most naturalists contented themselves withspecimens pinned behind glass, Merian believed “in what could notbe encased—the moment-by-moment shifts.” Her work led her toAmsterdam, where curiosities arriving on trading ships promptedher, at the age of fifty-two, to sell her belongings for passage toSurinam. The engravings of the bugs she saw there brought thestrange, delicate environment of the Americas to vibrant life, andrevealed the complexities of insect mutation and regeneration. Toddpoints out the difficulties—competing theories and superstitions,exceptions for every rule—faced by natural scientists in Merian’sday, and hears their echo in modern-day entomology. ( The

Silence(ISBN=9780156033305) 英文原版
Kramer's smooth, slightly sardonic delivery is a good fit forPerry's latest mixture of dark humor and suspense. The chasethriller focuses on four characters—the hunted (private eye JackTill and Wendy Harper, a beauty he helped disappear from assassinssix years before) and the hunters (the bickering, tango-dancing hitteam of Paul and Sylvie Turner who've been assigned to wipe outWendy). Kramer barely alters his reading voice for Till and Wendy,adding a wary flatness for the sleuth and a softer tone ofuncertainty for the hapless woman-in-jeopardy. For the Turners,however, he shows a bit more vocal dexterity. Paul has the deep,vaguely hollow sound of a very effective con man, while Sylvie'sbogus East Coast socialite drawl loses much of its cool refinementwhen the going gets rough. The plot is tricky—Wendy is forced fromhiding when her former partner is accused of her murder—but asconvoluted and complex as it gets, Kramer's well-paced presentationmakes every twist register.

'Its stylishness, and this low-voiced lack of emphasis are apleasure throughout, its moral and human positions invariablysympathetic. But it is astringent too: no self-pity in itsself-effacing heroine, who in a world of let-downs and put-downsand poltergeists, keeps her spirit bright and her book-stockmiraculously dry in the damp, seeping East Anglian landscape.'Isabel Quigley, Financial Times 'Penelope Fitzgerald's resources ofodd people are impressively rich.

Her Blue Body Everything We Know(ISBN=9780156028615)
The quest for peace and joy in a difficult world drivesWalker's poetry. Even the most difficult moments can be redeemed,she seems to be saying in the excellent "Good Night Willie Lee,I'll See you in the Morning." Walker has grown as a poet, so thatmuch of the strongest material comes in the later work, especiallythe wistful "Poem at Thirty-Nine." Highly recommended.( Amazon.com Review )Composed, wry, unshaken by adversity,Walker ( The Color Purple ) in her poetry brings a woman's wisdomto bear on love, life's unavoidable tragedies, blacks' struggle forequality and justice, and a globe spinning toward eco-suicide. Thecollection (including nine previously unpublished selections) movesfrom early, delicate snapshots of Walker's travels to East Africa (Once ), through taut, politically charged communiques from the DeepSouth of the late 1960s and early '70s ( Revolutionary Petunias )to confessions of spiritual breakdown, followed by an expansivereaching out to the world ( Horses Make a Landscape Look MoreBe
