Looking Beyond/The Unexpected island By Lin Yutang 1955 ：《遠景》1975 /奇島

 《遠景》故事大要，可參考錢鎖橋著《林語堂傳》

In this gripping novel, which was first published in 1955, Chinese-U.S. author, essayist and academic Dr. Lin Yutang’s appears to formulate his conception of a world beyond the muddling of today in a world that has survived two more world wars, and inaugurated a new Democratic World Commonwealth, outside the limitations of national sovereignty. He makes the contact between this groping old world and an island community, dedicated to peace, isolation and immunity from world ills, exalting the virtues of culture, and surviving in a state of suspended animation with little or no government.

作家，散文學家和學者林語堂博士在這本令人瞠目結舌的小說（1955年初版）中， 似乎是在超越兩次世界大戰後倖存下來的世界，並在國家主權範圍之外建立了一個新的民主世界聯邦，從而構想了他對當今世界之外的世界的構想。 他在這個不斷發展的舊世界和一個島嶼共同體之間建立了聯繫，致力於和平，孤立和免受世界疾病的侵害，崇高文化的美德，並在沒有政府或根本沒有政府的情況下處於活力狀態。
