In the complicated reality, there are always people who use words to reveal the loneliness and absurdity of life.
Kafka's "In the Penal Colony" is the starting point of the book, a cold torture instrument that reflects the absurdity of the system and human nature; Camus's "The Stranger" explores the meaning of existence; Chekhov's "Ward No. 6" Writes about the desolation and silent screams of daily life...
These famous poems scattered in the world are not separate islands, but like an underground river, running through the confusion and struggle deep in the soul of modern people. Together they outline the spiritual picture of "in the penal colony": people are swaying among fate, desire and social discipline, but they are also more vivid because of it.
This is a collection of short stories worth reading over and over again, and it is also a reading journey to gaze at oneself and the world.
