About This Novel

I prefer the absurdity of writing poetry to the absurdity of not writing poetry. --Szymborska, winner of the 1996 Nobel Prize for Literature, is one of the most charming contemporary poets and enjoys the reputation of "Mozart in poetry". Her poems are unique. They often draw joy from daily life, convey profound thoughts in simple language, open up a vast imagination space with small metaphors, and combine seriousness with humor and wit. She is a master of language and has many fans all over the world. Published in paperback in 2012, "Everything Is Silent as a Mystery" became a favorite among domestic readers that year. It was successively selected as one of the top ten best books of the year in "Sina China" and "Shenzhen Reading Month" and became a best-seller. Its publication indirectly promoted the upsurge in the publication of poetry collections in China. In this hardcover edition of "Everything Is Silent as a Mystery", the translator not only made new revisions to the text, but also added five new translations, including "Memorial" and "Train Station". The text is printed in full color and includes 10 exquisite illustrations.
