1.Between the World and Me BY TA-NEHISI COATES
《我和世界之间》，作者：塔-那西斯·科茨

►►►Recommendation 推荐词
It is a riveting meditation on the state of race in America that has arrived at a tumultuous moment in America's history of racial strife.
在美国种族冲突出现前所未有的激烈动荡的时刻，《我和世界之间》关于美国种族问题的阐释是发人深省的。

What it does better than any other recent book is relentlessly drive home the point that "racism is a visceral experience..."To be black in the ghetto of Coates's youth "was to be naked before the elements of the world, before all the guns, fists, knives, crack, rape, and disease."
相较于其他新书，它更加残酷地指出："种族主义是一种发自内心的体验……"作为一名贫民窟的黑人，科茨的青春"在全世界面前变得赤裸裸，在枪支、拳头、刀、爆炸、强奸和疾病面前手无寸铁，毫无反击之力"。

Joby Warrick shows in painful but compulsively readable detail how a series of mishaps and mistakes by the U.S. and Jordanian governments gave this unschooled hoodlum his start as a terrorist superstar and set the Middle East on a path of sectarian violence that has proved hard to contain.
作者用充满痛苦但又引人入胜的笔触，揭示了美国政府和约旦政府所犯下的一系列灾难性错误，把一名天生的流氓造就为恐怖主义巨星，并使后来的中东陷于难以控制的宗派暴力事件当中。

3.The Book of Aron BY JIM SHEPARD
《阿伦的书》，作者：吉姆·谢巴德

►►►Recommendation 推荐词

In the summer of 1942, German soldiers expelled almost 200 starving children from an orphanage in the Warsaw Ghetto and packed them into rail cars bound for Treblinka.
1942年夏，华沙犹太孤儿院里将近200位饥饿的儿童被德国士兵驱逐，装进了开往特雷布林卡集中营的火车上。

Drawing on his imagination and dozens of historical sources, Shepard brings the Warsaw orphanage to life in this remarkable novel about a poor Polish boy and his friendship with the caretaker of the orphans, the pediatrician Janusz Korczak.
作者谢巴德发挥想象，结合大量史料，在这部著名的小说中再现了华沙孤儿院的生活，讲述了一个贫穷的波兰男孩和孤儿院看守、儿科医生雅努什·科扎克之间的深厚友谊。

Aron relays his world just as he experiencesthat his town slides into hell. Although relentless in its portrayal of systematic evil, "The Book of Aron" is nonetheless a story of such candor about the complexity of heroism that it challenges us to greater courage.
书中阿伦转述的故事就仿佛是他的亲身经历，他所在的小镇陷入地狱。虽然《阿伦的书》对制度性罪恶的刻画冷酷无情，但它也是一个讲述英雄主义复杂性的坦率故事，赋予我们更多勇气。

4.Destiny and Power: The American Odyssey of George Herbert Walker Bush BY JON MEACHAM
《命运与权力：乔治·W·H·布什的美国奥德赛》，作者：乔恩·米查姆

►►►Recommendation 推荐词

Jon Meacham's new biography of George H.W. Bush accomplishes a neat trick.
乔恩·米查姆的老布什传是一个巧妙的设计。

In Meacham's telling, Bush indeed lacked an ideological vision, was as overmatched in domestic policy as he was masterful on the global stage, benefited from his family's influence, and remains overshadowed "by the myth of his predecessor and the drama of his sons ' political lives."
在米查姆的讲述中，布什确实缺乏一种意识形态视野，他对国内政策的掌控能力远逊于对国际事务的处理能力，他得益于来自家庭的影响，却至今仍活在前任的神话以及儿子戏剧性政治生涯的阴影之中。

What Meacham so skillfully adds to this understanding — through extraordinary detail, deft writing and, thanks to his access to Bush's diaries, an inner monologue of key moments in Bush's presidency.
米查姆的细节描写卓越，写作方法巧妙，又有幸接触到了老布什日记，由此很好地把握了他在任期内关键时刻的内心活动。
