working-class family distrusts his intellectual ambitions and his “foreign” wife

1937年5月，列宁格勒某处公寓楼里，一位三十岁出头戴着眼镜的男子在电梯门前等待着，腿边靠着一个小行李箱。他们总是在午夜来抓你，与其穿着睡衣被从公寓里拽出来，他宁愿收拾妥当，一夜又一夜守在电梯门前，等着被捕。 他就是肖斯塔科维奇，一个终其一生都在等待枪决的人。他把怯懦给了权力，把勇气给了音乐。本书是朱利安·巴恩斯为自己的英雄写下的人生小传。 这也是巴恩斯继《终结的感觉》后首部长篇小说，肖斯塔科维奇诞辰110周年纪念，献给那怯懦却从未真正屈服的音乐之魂。入选《每日邮报》《金融时报》《卫报》《泰晤士报》《星期日泰晤士报》《新政治家》《观察家》年度好书！

20世紀初，中國活躍著這樣一批如今鮮有人知的職業婦女，她們是校長、律師、主編、教育家、革命家等等，她們倡導婦女自我解放，致力於讓婦女融入更廣泛的社會領域。通過一系列突破性實踐，她們重塑了民國初期社會文化景觀，在五四新文化運動的遺產中嵌入深刻的社會性別印跡。迥異於男性中心的文化再現中的女人，這些婦女既不是等待拯救的落後對象，也不是反封建與救國的手段，而是主動參與現代化進程的關鍵角色。
