Me Before You (Paperback)

              
                    Me Before You (Paperback) - 10점         
Moyes, Jojo 지음/Michael Joseph

Lou Clark knows lots of things. She knows how many footsteps there are between the bus stop and home. She knows she likes working in The Buttered Bun tea shop and she knows she might not love her boyfriend Patrick. 

What Lou doesn't know is she's about to lose her job or that knowing what's coming is what keeps her sane. 

Will Traynor knows his motorcycle accident took away his desire to live. He knows everything feels very small and rather joyless now and he knows exactly how he's going to put a stop to that.

What Will doesn't know is that Lou is about to burst into his world in a riot of colour. And neither of them knows they're going to change the other for all time.

How to Win Friends & Influence People (Mass Market Paperback, Revised)

              
How to Win Friends & Influence People (Mass Market Paperback, Revised) - 10점
데일 카네기 지음/Simon & Schuster

"How to Win Friends and Influence People" is one of the first bestselling self-help books ever published. Written by Dale Carnegie and first published in 1937, it has sold more than 15 million copies. It has been translated into many different languages and was a New York Times best seller for 10 years.
Financial success, Carnegie believed, is due to 15 percent "professional knowledge" and 85 percent to "the ability to express ideas, assume leadership, and arouse enthusiasm among people." He teaches these skills through underlying principles of dealing with people so that they feel important and appreciated, without making them feel manipulated.
Carnegie also emphasizes that, the ability to speak is a shortcut to distinction. It puts a person in the limelight, raises one head and shoulders above the crowd. And the person who can speak acceptably is usually given credit for an ability out of all proportion to what he or she really possesses.

'How to Win Friends and Influence People' will enable you to:
1: Get out of a mental rut think new thoughts acquire new visions discover new ambitions
2: Make friends quickly and easily
3: Increase your popularity 
4: Win people to your way of thinking 
5: Increase your influence your prestige your ability to get things done 
6: Handle complaints avoid arguments keep your human contacts smooth and pleasant 
7: Become a better speaker a more entertaining conversational...
8: Arouse enthusiasm among your associates


Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus (Paperback)

              
Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus (Paperback) - 10점
존 그레이 지음/Quill

Once upon a time Martians and Venusians met, fell in love, and had happy relationships together because they respected and accepted their differences. Then they came to Earth and amnesia set in: they forgot they were from different planets.
Based on years of successful counseling of couples and individuals, Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus has helped millions of couples transform their relationships. Now viewed as a modern classic, this phenomenal book has helped men and women realize how different they really are and how to communicate their needs in such a way that conflict doesn't arise and intimacy is given every chance to grow.

30여 년간 부부들을 위한 상담센터를 운영하면서, 부부간 갈등의 원인과 치유법 연구에 몰두해온 존 그레이 박사의 역작이다. 결혼의 위기에 처한 2만5천여 부부의 상담을 통해 남자와 여자의 갈등의 원인을 알아내고 그것을 치유하는데 꼭 필요한 남녀관계의 원칙을 담았다.

이 책은 남녀가 각기 다른 행성, 즉 남자는 화성, 여자는 금성에서 왔다는 가정 하에 시작한다. 각기 전혀 다른 말과 사고를 하는 행성에서 왔지만 '지구'라는 곳에서 오랫동안 살고 적응해 오면서 그들은 그들이 원래 다른 행성에서 왔다는 것을 잊어버린다. 그리고는 자기가 생각하는 것, 원하는 것을 상대도 원할 것이라고 믿는다. 여기에서 갈등이 시작된다. 남녀의 근본적인 차이를 인식하지 못하기 때문이다.

남자가 왜 연인과 어느 정도의 거리감을 필요로 하는지, 여자는 왜 변덕이 심한 것처럼 보이는지 등, 남녀의 근본적인 차이를 다양한 실례를 통해 재미나게 풀어간다. 이 책을 통해 남녀의 차이를 이해한다면 더 이상 연인과 티격태격 싸울 필요가 없다. 상대방이 왜 이런 행동을 하는지, 왜 저런 태도를 취하는지 이해한다면 사랑하는 상대에게 더 효과적으로 어필할 수도 있다.


Illustrates common conflicts between men and women and offers advice on how to counteract differences in communication styles, emotional needs, and behavior.

Life of Pi (Paperback, International Edition) 파이이야기

           , , , , , ,    
Life of Pi (Paperback, International Edition) - 10점
얀 마텔 지음/Harcourt
WINNER OF THE 2002 BOOKER PRIZE After the tragic sinking of a cargo ship, one solitary lifeboat remains bobbing on the wild, blue Pacific. The crew of the surviving vessel consists of a hyena, a zebra (with a broken leg), a female orang-utan, a 450-pound Royal Bengal tiger and Pi -- a 16-year-old Indian boy. The scene is set for one of the most extraordinary pieces of literary fiction of recent years.

2002년 부커상 수상작. 아마존닷컴 베스트셀러 1위에 오른 후 3년이 지나도록 베스트셀러 상위에 머물고 있으며 전세계 40개 언어로 번역되었다. 기존의 부커상 수상작들이 평단의 높은 평가에 비해 독자들에게 외면받았던 것과는 달리, 수많은 독자들의 입소문을 타고 인기를 모은 화제작이다. 영화 '식스 센스'의 나이트 샤말란 감독이 영화로 제작 중.

<시녀 이야기>, <눈먼 암살자>의 작가 마거릿 애트우드가 "<로빈슨 크루소>, <걸리버 여행기>, <백경>을 잇는" 작품이라 평했으며, <독서의 역사>를 쓴 알베르토 망구엘은 "소설이라는 예술이 죽어간다고 생각하는 사람이 있다면 얀 마텔의 소설을 읽어보라"고 극찬했다.

열여섯 살 인도 소년 파이는 동물원을 운영하는 아버지, 다정한 어머니, 운동밖에 모르는 형과 함께 행복한 유년 시절을 보낸다. 1970년대 후반, 인도의 상황이 불안해지자 아버지는 캐나다로의 이민을 결정하고 미국의 대형 동물원에 동물들을 팔아버린다.

우리는 동물원, 자물쇠, 가축, 통까지 모두 팔았다. 형과 나도 팔려가는 동물이 된 기분이었다. 준비과정이 일 년은 족히 걸렸다. 서류가 엄청났다. ...아버지는 머리가 거의 다 빠졌고 여러 번 포기할 뻔도 했다.
"백내장 수술을 하면 팔릴까! 하마도! 코뿔소에게 코 성형수술이라도 해야 하나?"

그러나 동물들을 태우고 태평양을 건너가던 배는 난파되고, 혼란 끝에 정신을 차린 파이는 하이에나와 오랑우탄, 한쪽 다리가 부러진 얼룩말, 벵갈 호랑이와 함께 구명보트를 타고 있는 자신을 발견한다. 얼룩말과 오랑우탄을 죽인 하이에나를 호랑이 '리처드 파커'가 잡아먹자, 파이는 호랑이와 자신이 모두 살아남기 위해선 호랑이를 길들여야만 한다는 사실을 깨닫는다.

"그것은 그의 문제나 나의 문제가 아니라 그와 나의 문제였다. 우리는 문자 그대로 또 비유적으로도 같은 배에 타고 있었다. 죽어도 같이 죽고 살아도 같이 살 터였다. 그가 죽으면 절망을 껴안은 채 나 혼자 남겨질 테니까. 절망은 호랑이보다 훨씬 무서운 것이니까. 내가 살 의지를 갖고 있다면, 그것은 리처드 파커 덕분이었다. 그는 나를 계속 살아있게 해주었다."

어린 10대 소년이 사나운 호랑이와 함께 227일 동안 태평양을 표류한 이야기. 새로운 삶에 대한 기대로 부풀었다가 사랑하는 가족을 한순간 잃고, 언제 자기를 해칠지 모르는 호랑이와 공존 아닌 공존을 하면서도, 끝끝내 희망을 버리지 않았던 한 소년의 이야기가 울림을 전한다. 리사 자딘 부커상 심사위원장은 "믿음이라는 문제를 창의적으로 탐구한 작품으로, 독자로 하여금 신(神)을 믿게 한다"고 평했다.

What Money Can't Buy (Paperback, 영국)- The Moral Limits of Markets

           , , ,    
What Money Can't Buy (Paperback, 영국) - 10점
Michael J. Sandel 지음/Penguin Books Ltd
Should we pay children to read books or to get good grades? Is it ethical to pay people to test risky new drugs or to donate their organs? What about hiring mercenaries to fight our wars, outsourcing inmates to for-profit prisons, auctioning admission to elite universities, or selling citizenship to immigrants willing to pay? Isn't there something wrong with a world in which everything is for sale? 


In recent decades, market values have crowded out nonmarket norms in almost every aspect of life-medicine, education, government, law, art, sports, even family life and personal relations. Without quite realizing it, Sandel argues, we have drifted from having a market economy to being a market society. 


In What Money Can't Buy, Sandel examines one of the biggest ethical questions of our time and provokes a debate that's been missing in our market-driven age: What is the proper role of markets in a democratic society, and how can we protect the moral and civic goods that markets do not honour and money cannot buy?

The Great Escape: Health, Wealth, and the Origins of Inequality (Paperback) - 10점
앵거스 디턴 지음/Princeton Univ Pr
The world is a better place than it used to be. People are healthier, wealthier, and live longer. Yet the escapes from destitution by so many has left gaping inequalities between people and nations. InThe Great Escape, Angus Deaton--one of the foremost experts on economic development and on poverty--tells the remarkable story of how, beginning 250 years ago, some parts of the world experienced sustained progress, opening up gaps and setting the stage for today's disproportionately unequal world. Deaton takes an in-depth look at the historical and ongoing patterns behind the health and wealth of nations, and addresses what needs to be done to help those left behind.Deaton describes vast innovations and wrenching setbacks: the successes of antibiotics, pest control, vaccinations, and clean water on the one hand, and disastrous famines and the HIV/AIDS epidemic on the other. He examines the United States, a nation that has prospered but is today experiencing slower growth and increasing inequality. He also considers how economic growth in India and China has improved the lives of more than a billion people. Deaton argues that international aid has been ineffective and even harmful. He suggests alternative efforts--including reforming incentives to drug companies and lifting trade restrictions--that will allow the developing world to bring about its own Great Escape.Demonstrating how changes in health and living standards have transformed our lives,The Great Escape is a powerful guide to addressing the well-being of all nations.
