季風讀者最喜歡的月度榜單 · 2026年3月
三月的季風榜單，比起二月更顯出一種「向深處去」的閱讀取向。若說二月仍在歷史與現實之間來回辨認，那麼三月則進一步將問題推向制度的根源與思想的邊界。從宋永毅對毛澤東政治運動與土地改革的系統性重審，到秦暉對「反人類的愛國」的道德判準，再到榮劍梳理日本近代轉型中的思想悖論，這份書單不再只是記錄歷史，而是試圖理解：權力如何運作，又如何塑造人與社會的命運。
與此同時，文學與個體經驗並未缺席。謝曉虹以魔幻寫實書寫城市幽影，王曉漁在評論與觀察中捕捉思想者的孤獨軌跡，龍應台在山林之中重新凝視生命本身——這些作品讓閱讀從宏大敘事回到感知與存在。
英文書單則呈現另一條線索：從中國的國家資本與環境治理，到香港抗爭與台灣原住民的海洋視角，再到革命藝術與現代小說中的個體困境，這些書共同構成一幅跨越地理與學科的知識地圖。三月的閱讀，不只是理解世界，更是在不確定中尋找觀看世界的方法。
The March list turns inward — toward structures, ideas, and the deeper logic of power. If February moved between history and the present, March pushes further: into the foundations of political systems and moral judgment. From Song Yongyi’s reexamination of Maoist campaigns to Qin Hui’s critique of “inhumane patriotism,” and Rong Jian’s study of Japan’s modern transformation, these works ask not just what happened, but why systems endure and repeat.
At the same time, literature grounds us. From urban surrealism to reflective essays and ecological writing, individual experience re-enters the frame. The English selections extend this inquiry globally — from China’s financial statecraft and environmental strategy to Hong Kong, Taiwan, and beyond. Together, this is a list about how we understand power, memory, and the fragile space of human agency.
【中文書單 Top 10】
《毛澤東和「新中國」：延綿不絕的政治運動與其深層的戰爭思維》
宋永毅／聯經出版
中國近代史研究學者宋永毅最新作品，從政治運動的連續性切入，重新梳理毛澤東治下中國的運作邏輯。書中指出，從土改、大躍進到文化大革命，這些運動並非彼此孤立，而是建立在一種「深層戰爭思維」之上——將社會不斷動員、敵我劃分制度化。作者不僅挑戰既有的官方敘事，也揭示政治運動如何在制度層面造成長期的暴力循環與治理困境。
《重審毛澤東的土地改革（上下冊）》
宋永毅／田園書屋
本書是研究中共土地改革的經典之作，以國際學術研究為基礎，全面檢視1950年代初的土地改革。透過大量史料與跨學科分析，作者指出土地改革並非單純的經濟再分配，而是一場以暴力為核心的政治重構，深刻改變了中國農村的權力結構。更重要的是，它為後續的集體化與政治運動鋪設了制度性道路，其影響至今仍未消散。
《反人類的愛國者》
秦暉／讀道社
秦暉的最新作品，以東歐極右民族主義為案例，提出一個尖銳問題：什麼樣的「愛國」是不可原諒的？書中提出三重標準——國際立場、國家利益與人權底線，並強調最後一者才是最終判準。這不僅是歷史評論，更是對當代民族主義與政治道德的深刻反思，提醒我們重新思考「國家」與「人」之間的關係。
《日本近代轉型的悖論》
榮劍／博登書屋
榮劍梳理從德川到昭和的思想變遷，揭示日本「近代」的雙重性：既是開放與現代化的過程，也是內在矛盾與政治張力的積累。書中強調，制度轉型從來不只是技術問題，而是深層思想與文化結構的重組。對於理解東亞現代性，這是一部重要且具有比較視野的作品。
《廣西文革痛史鈎沉》
曉明／田園書屋
本書聚焦文化大革命期間廣西地區的極端暴力事件，以翔實史料揭露長期被掩蓋的歷史。作者不僅重建事件脈絡，也試圖理解群眾暴力如何在特定政治環境中被激發與合理化。這是一部沉重但必要的作品，逼使讀者直面歷史的殘酷與人性的極限。
《無遮鬼》
謝曉虹／香港文學館
這部短篇小說集以魔幻寫實的筆法描繪當代城市的幽微狀態。現實與幻象交錯，人物情緒在荒誕與詩意之間流動。謝曉虹不直接評論時代，而是透過隱喻與想像，讓讀者感受到一種無法言說的壓抑與漂浮感——這或許正是當下城市生活最真實的寫照。
《深淵與繁星》
王曉漁／廣東人民出版社
這是一部跨越文學、藝術與歷史的評論集。王曉漁以長期觀察與細膩筆觸，記錄那些在邊緣堅持創作與思考的人：窮困的畫家、隱居的詩人、沉默的知識分子。這些片段構成一種精神地圖，讓人看見在困境中仍然存在的思想光芒。
《注視：都蘭野書》
龍應台／時報出版
龍應台離開城市，在山林之中重新學習「觀看」。這本書不再關於歷史與政治，而是關於自然、生命與存在本身。從一草一木到生死循環，她以溫柔而銳利的筆觸，提出一個問題：在失序與動盪的世界中，我們如何重新找到與世界的連結？
《往事並不如煙》
章詒和／時報出版
章詒和以個人記憶為線索，重構一代知識分子的命運。透過細膩的人物書寫，她讓那些在政治風暴中被扭曲的人性重新浮現。這不只是回憶錄，更是一種對良知與歷史責任的持續追問。
《大江大海一九四九》
龍應台／時報出版
這部作品以文學之筆重建1949年的集體創傷。透過訪談與史料，龍應台讓那一代人的流離與選擇重新被看見。它既是歷史書寫，也是對個體命運的深情凝視，讓讀者理解「歷史」如何真實地發生在每一個人身上。
【English Top 10】
Statism with Chinese Characteristics: A History of China's Reforms and Reversals
Yasheng Huang / Cambridge University Press
A major rethinking of China’s economic rise, arguing that growth was driven less by state control than by periods of political and economic liberalization. Huang challenges dominant narratives and shows how political tightening has repeatedly reshaped economic outcomes. A rigorous and timely book for understanding both China’s past trajectory and its present impasse.
Sovereign Funds: How the Communist Party of China Finances Its Global Ambitions
Zongyuan Zoe Liu / Harvard University Press
An incisive look at how China deploys sovereign wealth as a tool of global power. Liu shows that these financial institutions do much more than manage reserves: they shape markets, direct capital into strategic sectors, and extend Beijing’s influence abroad. A sharp account of economic statecraft in the Xi era.
Chinese Global Environmentalism
Alex L. Wang / Cambridge University Press
Wang traces China’s emergence as a global environmental actor, examining how green development functions not only as policy but as political strategy. The book explores ideology, diplomacy, and development finance, revealing how environmental governance has become part of China’s broader international positioning. Essential reading for anyone following climate politics and China’s global rise.
Eyes of the Sky
Syaman Rapongan / Columbia University Press
A lyrical and deeply rooted account of the Tao people of Orchid Island, offering readers a way of seeing the world through an oceanic Indigenous lens. Part storytelling, part cultural memory, the book invites us to rethink modern life from the edge of the sea. Quietly powerful and unlike anything else on this list.
Everyday Movement
Gigi L. Leung / Riverhead Books
Set against Hong Kong’s protest movement, this novel follows two young women trying to navigate fear, resistance, and ordinary life as democracy begins to collapse around them. Leung captures the emotional fragmentation of a city in crisis, where brunch, tear gas, friendship, and dread all coexist. A deeply human novel about political rupture.
China in Ten Words: Essays
Yu Hua / Anchor
Using ten ordinary phrases from everyday Chinese life, Yu Hua builds a portrait of contemporary China that is witty, lucid, and often unsettling. Blending memoir with social critique, he writes about disparity, imitation, deceit, and survival with a rare combination of humor and moral clarity. A brilliant entry point into modern Chinese society.
Written on Water
Eileen Chang / NYRB Classics
This essay collection reveals another side of Eileen Chang: observant, ironic, cosmopolitan, and intensely alert to the textures of wartime urban life. Writing on art, literature, food, cinema, and the experience of being a woman in Shanghai and Hong Kong, Chang turns everyday perception into a form of intelligence. A graceful and enduring work of modern prose.
Chasing Homer
László Krasznahorkai / New Directions
A feverish narrative of pursuit and escape, written with Krasznahorkai’s unmistakable intensity. The novel propels its hunted protagonist through a landscape of constant motion, fear, and disorientation, collapsing time into a relentless present. Strange, lyrical, and hypnotic, it reads like a philosophical thriller.
Murder in the Rue Marat: A Case of Art in Revolution
Thomas Crow / Princeton University Press
Thomas Crow revisits Jacques-Louis David’s famous painting of Marat to ask how revolutionary art acquires enduring political life. Moving between 1793 and the present, he shows how one image became a recurring symbol of dissent, martyrdom, and upheaval. A compelling study of art, memory, and political imagination.
Hooked
Asako Yuzuki / Ecco
A psychological novel about loneliness, ambition, and obsession in contemporary Japan. Beneath her polished professional life, the protagonist is driven by a deep emotional hunger that begins to distort her relationships and sense of self.
