BBC推荐了10本12月必读书目,每一本都是最近刚出版的,很值得一读。但因为比较新,暂时还没有书名的中文翻译哦。
1.Christmas Days(作者:Jeanette Winterson)
Award-winning author Winterson’s celebration of the 12 Days of Christmas is a surprising and cheering addition to her work (Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit). She gathers a dozen, sometimes eerie, holiday-themed stories, which range from otherworldly to magical. Winterson follows each with detailed instructions on how to make such traditional treats as mince pie (her mother’s specialty), her dad’s sherry trifle, her wife Susie Orbach’s Christmas Eve gravlax, and recipes from author friends, like Ruth Rendell’s red cabbage and Kamila Shamsie’s turkey biryani. A delectable read for long winter nights.
Christmas Days无疑是温特森继《橘子不是唯一的水果》等著作后的又一惊喜之作。该书收集了一些怪诞的圣诞节故事,譬如一些超现实的和与魔法有关的故事。每一则故事后都有温特森关于如何制作圣诞节点心的小贴士,譬如:肉馅饼,他爸爸喜欢的sherry triple,她妻子爱做的平安夜渍鲑鱼片等,还有很多菜单是由她的朋友提供的。
2.The Glass Universe(作者:Dava Sobel)
Sobel begins her chronicle of pioneering women in astrophysics in 1882, when Anna Palmer Draper hosted a National Academy of Sciences dinner party. Her husband Henry was an astronomer credited with a method of classifying the stars, and she was his frequent assistant. When he died days later, Anna Draper funded a project at the Harvard Observatory to solidify her husband’s catalogue. She also created and funded a decades-long opportunity for women in the field. Working with the glass photographic plates their male colleagues used to capture images from the night sky, these “women with a knack for figures” calculated star positions, relative brightness, motion, and chemical content. The many luminaries Sobel profiles include Annie Jump Cannon, who devised Harvard’s stellar classification system and evaluated some half a million stars.
