125K0

In this book, the author combines his long and rich reading experience to conduct a detailed and in-depth analysis of many aspects of literary works: characters and plots, space in the book, innovation, authority, grandeur and privacy, and foreign lands, etc. The author is both a reviewer and a reader, and the breadth and depth of his insights undoubtedly give the pleasure of reading many different levels and aspects. At the same time, the author is a person who truly loves reading. He reads classic writers such as Shakespeare, Cervantes, Dostoyevsky, and Herzen, as well as works by popular contemporary writers such as Haruki Murakami, Henning Mankell, and Isaac Asimov. Using these readily available famous names as vivid examples, her argument is interesting and persuasive. And the "100 books that bring reading pleasure" given at the end of the book greatly spread the pleasure of reading.
