        Leos Carax

        by Fergus Daly, Garin Dowd

        The first book in any language to study the films of this enfant terrible of contemporary French cinema, best known for his film Les Amants du Pont Neuf. Examines key ingredients in the worlds of Carax's films - Paris, pop music, 'flânerie' and 'amour fou', 'mannerist' and 'neo-baroque' aesthetics, the Nouvelle Vague and contemporary 'naturalist' cinema - making the book a good primer of contemporary French film and culture. Draws on a variety of intellectual sources, such as the philosophy of Deleuze, film criticism, theory of art, and literary monographs. Argues that the recent history of maverick mannerist and baroque auteurs, from Ruiz & Rivette to Garrel and Techine, and their explorations of the 'powers of the false' are key to Carax's cinema. Examines Carax's contribution to the strand of cinema which is focused on chance and destiny, from Wong Kar-Wai and David Lynch to films such as Serendipity and Sliding doors.

        The Song of High Wind

        by Liu Ailong, Deng Fujun

        This is a novel about Liu Shaoqi in the form of historical biography, which narrates the fighting experience of Liu Shaoqi from the end of 1939 to the beginning of 1942, thereby vividly demonstrating his unswerving political caliber and superior military capability. The novel describes his life in a chronological order: after being entrusted with the mission of organizing the central plains bureau of the C.P.C., Liu Shaoqi got rid of the disturbing thought of “everything should be subject to the united front”of Xiang Ying, member of the Political Bureau and the commander of the New Fourth Army, and gave full play to initiative in the battles including the Bantaji Battle, two operations against the enemy's “mopping-up” campaign, the Guocun Village Battle, the Huangqiao Battle, making great contributions to tipping the balance after the Southern Anhui Incident, building the Anti-Japanese base area of central China and persisting in the War of Resistance Against Japan in enemy-occupied areas.
