《泰德-休斯：未授權(quán)寫作》Ted Hughes: The Unauthorised Life
作者：Jonathan Bate

It is hard to write a literary account of Ted Hughes without writing about the life, as many authors have found. Five years in the making, this biography began as an authorised life only to become unauthorised when the author fell out with Hughes's widow, Carol, over how much personal detail to include, prompting the poet's estate to withdraw its co-operation.
許多作者都發(fā)現(xiàn)，不寫他的生活，就很難寫泰德-修斯的文學(xué)史。這部歷史五年的傳記一開(kāi)始是得到授權(quán)的，作者后來(lái)就個(gè)人細(xì)節(jié)問(wèn)題與修斯的遺孀卡羅爾發(fā)生糾紛，終止了合作，結(jié)果成了一部未授權(quán)的傳記。

作者：Dag Detter and Stefan F?lster

Governments have trillions of dollars in assets, from companies to forests, but they are often poorly managed.

Professional managers could sweat them as if they were privately owned.

《文化、社會(huì)與旅行：性格之路》Culture, society and travel：The Road to Character
作者：David Brooks

The author, a columnist for the New York Times, clearly thinks people are too full of themselves. A thoughtful polemic on why the self-regarding Facebook generation should move from narcissism to thoughtfulness. They'd be much happier.
紐約時(shí)報(bào)專欄作者顯然認(rèn)為人們太自以為是了。自私自利的社交媒體一代為何該從自戀轉(zhuǎn)向深刻，本書給出了深刻的討論。他們本該比現(xiàn)在更幸福。
