This book is Mr. Wu Hong's first recollection of 76 years of personal history. He breaks through the general memoir-style writing and presents to readers neither the real past itself nor the complete fiction of a novel, but a creative reconstruction and imagination of experience, a more free and open "memory writing". He uses fantasy techniques to present the throbbing and nightmare of encountering the flying apsara statue in the Kizil Grottoes mural after surviving a desperate situation; and using a calm and restrained style, he reveals the intricate, pious and peaceful connection between individuals, national treasures, cultural relics, and traditional culture through the theft and recovery of the "Cicada Crown Bodhisattva" statue in the Northern Dynasties. He writes about his memories of life in the ancient city of Beijing when he was a teenager, and also reveals his peeping in books and personal stories with his nanny that were either private or frustrating and embarrassing. Under the clear blue sky, on the shores of Lake Michigan, which is green and purple, he reunited with himself who had regained his study time after the turbulent era, and realized the pursuit of his teachers, friends, and old friends for academic transcendence of politics and personal integrity and independence. Current experiences collide with past memories. "At that moment, we felt that we were all survivors of a madhouse, but many people were not as lucky as we were."

Notes from the Underground (golden Classic of Russian Literature)

G

97K0

"Notes from the Underground" was a turning point in Dostoevsky's creation. He penetrated and sublimated from his early immersion in the human compassion and psychological care of small people, and became a philosophical thinker who foresees human tragedy. Through this novella, he "seems" to tell us the most lacking thing at the time but the most precious thing in the world - personal character, and raised a long list of questions surrounding this central theme. The novel talks about the "individual" versus the group, and the process from the group's blind obedience to the laws of nature to the rebirth of belief in the awakening of individual self-awareness. It is expressed through the literary image created by Dostoevsky, the "basement man," who symbolizes a man on the margins of civilization who has retreated to the corner of his heart. He "consciously" buried himself in the basement of his heart, and his relationship with the group was one of ideological dialectics and the other of social quarrels. The novel is divided into two contrasting parts. The author is proud to say that this is similar to musical variations, and the two complement each other. The author tries to put the entire era, especially the negative characteristics, into this character image, and compare and synthesize a unique character of the era. If we repeatedly chew on these lies that are sometimes funny and sometimes shocking, we may have a new understanding of the source of power that stirs up human souls and renovates social life. For example, the basement man's last question: Which one is better? Is it cheap happiness or noble pain?

White Nights (a Golden Classic of Russian Literature)

G

95K0

It is necessary for us to look at Dostoevsky from another angle. If we read his short stories and short stories carefully, we will find that they have a significant impact on him and the world. The three stories included in this collection are among them classics. "White Nights" (1848) is one of the most important masterpieces of the writer's early period (before his exile). Do these four unforgettable white nights leave an eternal and beautiful feeling in the dreamer's heart? Will he find a way out of the conflict between romantic dreams and harsh reality? --The author leaves this question to the reader. "The Little Hero" (1849) is also a love story that takes place in the summer, where dreams and reality are at war. It is worth noting that this is the only complete work written by Dostoevsky while he was in prison before his exile. Therefore, it has incomparable significance. It makes people curious. What did Dostoevsky, a political prisoner at the time, want to tell readers or himself through this childhood memory? Regarding this question, the author once said: "Read it, do you see resentment and pain in that story? It was me who had a peaceful and beautiful dream." The protagonist "The Ridiculous Man" in "The Dream of a Ridiculous Man" (1877) is also a lonely dreamer. He thinks that he is the only one who knows the truth: it doesn't matter whether the world exists or not, it doesn't matter whether people exist or not, and it doesn't matter whether all the problems in society exist, so the problems will disappear. These three articles and "Notes from the Basement" can be connected into a vertical section, charting the evolution of the typical character "Dreamer" and confirming the mental journey of the protagonist in the writer's novel. Dostoevsky is a master of depicting lonely souls and portraying dreams and illusions. He throws these very modern problems of spiritual emptiness and alienation into every reader who is suffering from "modern diseases".

History of World Civilizations: Renaissance

This book uses an integrated approach to describe all aspects of Italian life during the Renaissance. The term "Renaissance" in this book refers only to Italy. In essence, the Renaissance was an economic expansion achieved by a few smart people manipulating the majority of simple people. Renaissance culture was an aristocratic culture built on the backs of the poor. The politics of the Renaissance were commercial oligarchs and military dictatorships replacing the republic. Morally, it was a pagan rebellion that corrupted the moral standards of religious theory, indulged human instincts, and used the wealth of industry and commerce as they pleased. The Renaissance restored classical culture and ended the thousand-year dominance of Eastern spirituality in Europe. It also spread the seeds of enlightenment to France, England, Germany, Flanders and Spain. Conceptual, moral and artistic trends continued to flow northward from Italy for a century. Between 1500 and 1600, all Western European countries recognized her as the mother of the new scientific, artistic and humanistic civilization.

"Fable" is Faulkner's painstaking work in his later years. It subverted Faulkner's previous "Yoknapatawpha lineage". While it won the National Book Award and the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction, it also caused huge controversy. The story takes place in Verdun at the end of World War I, and spans a week. A regiment of the French army launched a mutiny and openly disobeyed the order to attack the German army. At the same time, the German soldiers also stopped attacking, and the battlefield that had been noisy for four years temporarily returned to calm. The commanders of the allied forces of France, Britain, and the United States were greatly shocked. They could not tolerate this kind of calm, and ordered the 3,000 soldiers of the regiment to be taken to the Allied headquarters and sentenced to death... As Faulkner said: "If Jesus comes again in 1914-1915, he will be crucified on the cross again." Faulkner used the story of Jesus' crucifixion to express his deep thoughts on human nature and war.

Difficult Love (calvino Classic)

A difficult love, a difficult life. Calvino uses the difficulties of "love" and "life" as the main thread, and lightly captures the images of ordinary people's lives: the difficulty of spending a night cramped in the second-class carriage for the lover; the difficulty of not being able to show off the affair after a night of love; the difficulty of the couple who are forced to live apart from each other day and night. ; The difficulty of wearing glasses to discover a new world but unable to see clearly because the vision is too clear; the difficulty of living in a city shrouded in smoke and with no hope of purification... These difficulties constitute the constants of human life, linking the path of contemplation of the present world, as well as some moments of epiphany.
