A Velocity of Being: Letters to A Young Reader

內容簡介

內容簡介 121封當代最具影響力的名人寫給小讀者的信，和你深談閱讀的美好。 這本別具意義的合輯由童書評論家瑪麗亞．波波娃和出版人克勞蒂亞．班綴克費時八年完成。書中121位對文化具有影響力的作家、藝術家、科學家、哲學家、企業家們，以誠懇又具有力量的文字，訴說對閱讀的熱愛，告訴孩子書本如何拓展視野、如何塑造人格。其中有動物學家珍．古德、奇幻文學大師尼爾．蓋曼、大提琴家馬友友，也有傳奇人物，例如百歲大屠殺倖存者、義大利首位女性太空人等。每封信都有知名插畫家以插畫呼應信中的美好訊息，包括奧利佛．傑法、陳志勇、湯米．溫格爾。In these pages, some of today's most wonderful culture-makers―writers, artists, scientists, entrepreneurs, and philosophers―reflect on the joys of reading, how books broaden and deepen human experience, and the ways in which the written word has formed their own character. On the page facing each letter, an illustration by a celebrated illustrator or graphic artist presents that artist's visual response.Among the diverse contributions are letters from Jane Goodall, Neil Gaiman, Jerome Bruner, Shonda Rhimes, Ursula K. Le Guin, Yo-Yo Ma, Judy Blume, Lena Dunham, Elizabeth Gilbert, and Jacqueline Woodson, as well as a ninety-eight-year-old Holocaust survivor, a pioneering oceanographer, and Italy's first woman in space. Some of the illustrators, cartoonists, and graphic designers involved are Marianne Dubuc, Sean Qualls, Oliver Jeffers, Maira Kalman, Mo Willems, Isabelle Arsenault, Chris Ware, Liniers, Shaun Tan, Tomi Ungerer, and Art Spiegelman.This project is woven entirely of goodwill, generosity of spirit, and a shared love of books. Everyone involved has donated their time, and all profits will go to the New York Public Library systems.Edited and introduced byMaria Popova, who has been writing since 2006 about what she reads on BrainPickings (brainpickings.org), which is now included in the Library of Congress archiveof culturally valuable materials; Edited by Claudia Bedrick, publisher, editorialand art director of Enchanted Lion Books."
