We are so excited to welcome Vincenzo Latronico to the shop to discuss his novel PERFECTION, a spare and scathing sociological novel about the emptiness of contemporary existence. Vincenzo will be in conversation with Jess White. Doors: 6.30pm, starts: 6.45pm Tickets are £4. Admission is free when purchasing a copy the book. About the book: Millennial expat couple Anna and Tom are living the dream in Berlin, in a bright, affordable, plant-filled apartment. Their life as young digital creatives revolves around slow cooking, Danish furniture, sexual experimentation and the city’s twenty-four-hour party scene – an ideal existence shared by an entire generation and tantalizingly lived out on social media.  But beyond the images, dissatisfaction and ennui burgeon. Work becomes repetitive. Friends move back home, have children, grow up. Frustrated that their progressive politics amount to little more in practice than boycotting Uber, tipping in cash, or never eating tuna, Anna and Tom make a fruitless attempt at political activism.  Feeling increasingly trapped in their picture-perfect life, the couple takes ever more radical steps in the pursuit of an authenticity and a sense of purpose perennially beyond their grasp.  About the author: Vincenzo Latronico was born in Rome in 1984 and currently lives in Berlin. He is an art critic and has translated many books into Italian, by authors such as George Orwell, Oscar Wilde, F. Scott Fitzgerald and Hanif Kureishi.Perfection is his fourth novel, the first to be translated into English. The translator is Sophie Hughes.  Perfection is a jewel of a novel: precisely cut, intricately faceted, prismatically dazzling at its heart.  - Lauren Groff, author ofThe Vaster Wilds Tickets are £4.00. Admission is free when purchasing a copy of the book. If you cannot make the event but would like a dedicated copy of the book, please email events.manchester@blackwell.co.uk or call us on 0161 274 3331. Our event format is usually a 45 minute discussion between the author and interviewer, followed by a chance for audience members to ask questions. There will be the opportunity to get your book signed/dedicated after the event. Events are a brilliant opportunity to discover new books, meet authors and likeminded readers and learn something new. Support your local bookshop and help us keep the Manchester literary scene vibrant and exciting. You can follow us on Eventbrite and social media (@BlackwellsMCR) to keep up to date on upcoming events.

牛津的Blackwell書店Blackwell書店位於牛津的Broad街道上。書店的門面不大,就是再普通不過了的英國三層建築,唯一覺得有點特別的是在牛津不太常見的綠色布簾。對於不熟悉的人來說,這隻是一間非常普通的書店,但...

牛津大學

親子景點

外国妹

牛津大學是一所公立研究型大學，採用傳統學院制。 是英語世界中最古老的大學，我們中國留學生不少。有39所學院，校園建築古典，雅緻，還有4-5個博物館。我住了一晚，2個白天，感覺時間夠了。出行方便，到倫敦1個多小時大巴。不算大，基本走路即可。晚秋景色極美。租Airbnb約700多人民幣/晚。值。餐館學院得買票，商業化了。我是第二次去了。

嘆息橋（英國牛津大學）正式名稱為赫特福德（Hertford）橋，是牛津大學的一個著名景點，嘆息橋始建於1913年（1914年完工），它跨過新學院路連接了赫特福德學院的新舊兩個部分，是牛津大學的一個著名景點，由托馬斯傑克遜爵士（Sir TomasJackson）設計，由於此橋形似意大利威尼斯的嘆息橋故被稱為嘆息橋。跟着旅遊團來到牛津大學，只能夠走馬觀花看了一下。

牛津大學博多利圖書館(Bodleian Library - University of Oxford)是牛津大學的總圖書館，是歐洲最古老的圖書館之一（1602年開放），也是英國規模僅次於大英圖書館的第二大圖書館。這裡是英國的6個法定圖書館之一。所有的牛津出版品在出版時都會自動送一份到此珍藏。圖書館下設有眾多分館，其中Radcliffe Camera分館己經成為牛津大學的重要地標，有很多圖書在這裡存放，不是牛津大學的學生也可入內参觀。博多利圖書館由一組不同歷史時期、不同風格的建築群構成，據說各樓之間有地下通道連接。
