We're pleased to host this very special event in collaboration with the Bodleian Libraries “The supreme novelist of his generation” Sunday Times What We Can Know 2014: A great poem is read aloud and never heard again. For generations, people speculate about its message, but no copy has yet been found.
2119: The lowlands of the UK have been submerged by rising seas. Those who survive are haunted by the richness of the world that has been lost.
Tom Metcalfe, an academic at the University of the South Downs, part of Britain’s remaining island archipelagos, pores over the archives of that distant era, captivated by the freedoms and possibilities of human life at its zenith. When he stumbles across a clue that may lead to the lost poem, a story is revealed of entangled loves and a crime that destroy his assumptions about people he thought he knew intimately well.
What We Can Know is a masterpiece, a fictional tour de force that reclaims the present from our sense of looming catastrophe, and imagines a future world where all is not quite lost. Ian McEwan Ian McEwan is the critically acclaimed author of eighteen novels and two short story collections. His first published work, a collection of short stories, First Love, Last Rites, won the Somerset Maugham Award. His novels include The Child in Time, which won the 1987 Whitbread Novel of the Year Award; The Cement Garden; Enduring Love; Amsterdam, which won the 1998 Booker Prize; Atonement; Saturday; On Chesil Beach; Solar; Sweet Tooth; The Children Act; Nutshell; Machines Like Me; and Lessons. Atonement, Enduring Love, The Children Act and On Chesil Beach have all been adapted for the big screen. Richard Ovenden Richard Ovenden is the Bodley’s Librarian and the Helen Hamlyn Director of the University Libraries. He also serves as Head of Gardens, Libraries and Museums (GLAM) at Oxford. All tickets include a copy of the book. Concession tickets are available with a valid student card.

牛津很有歷史的一座圓形的建築，在老城區的位置，直通形狀，可以看到很多的歷史的痕迹，據說已經三百多年了，這個劇院也是一直保留下來的，附近的老建築也很多的哦。

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。

花幾英磅你可以爬到塔頂，欣賞牛津360度無死角的美麗風景，漂亮的長條形景觀和南部的城市最為驚艷。教堂門廊建於四五百年，其螺旋立柱是英國建築史上的一大創新特色
