As summer vacation begins, are you feeling weary of textbooks and academic papers? The Library is more than a place for group discussion, dissertation writing, or exam preparation. On G/F, a selection of popular books on display is beckoning, inviting you to unwind with a good read.
These popular reads offer fresh perspectives on history, culture, and the arts. For instance, The Course of History: Ten Meals That Changed the World takes you on a journey through historical events, all seen through the lens of memorable dinners. Menus and recipes included! If you’re intrigued by ancient Greece, A Thing of Beauty: Travels in Mythical and Modern Greece will transport you to this sun-drenched tourist haven where the past meets the present.
For a fun twist on literary classics, check out 莎士比亞超圖解 : 解構17齣經典劇作, 上一堂最好玩的莎翁課 ! Its comic-style illustrations let you surf through Shakespeare's renowned works, making intricate plots and complex character relationships effortlessly enjoyable. Don’t miss 玩具醫生 : 那些玩具教我們的事, where a local “toy doctor” shares stories of repairing toys from diverse backgrounds over the past nineteen years.
