It is a kind of movement, a kind of movement closely integrated with the spatial existence and movement of objects. So, without exercise, there is no time? No time and no exercise? Just ask! Time is a function of space? Or is it the other way around? Or are the two originally the same thing? This goes too far! Time acts, is mobile, and can "produce effects." What kind of effect? Mutations! This is no longer then, and this is no longer that, because there is movement in them. However, since the movement that people use to measure time is cyclical and self-enclosed, such movement and variation can almost equally be called stationary; because that time keeps reappearing here, and that place keeps reappearing here.

A book I'm writing is about the five senses, to illustrate that modern people no longer know how to use them. This is the ultimate collection of short stories that Calvino was still writing when he died, the final song of his creative career. Because of his sudden death, he only finished writing about the three senses of smell, taste and hearing, leaving irreparable regrets. In "Puma Sunshine," a troubled couple travels to Mexico to deduce the nature of love through dishes made with exotic ingredients and spices. The enthroned tyrant in "The King Is Listening" is a prisoner of both his power and his ears, as the echoes of his vast palace bring conflicting messages of judgment, love, and intrigue. In "Name, Nose," a playboy, a prehistoric man, and a stoner rocker embark on a frantic search for a woman's scent.

"Smoke: Argentine Ants" collects Calvino's two important novellas "Smoke" and "Argentine Ants". This is because they echo each other in a structural and moral sense. "Smoke" uses the style of a sociological essay or a secret diary to present the image and ideographic symbol of the world that people in modern industrial society face: smoke. The smoke of chemical waste that permeates industrial cities is omnipresent, elusive but oppressing mankind with unmistakable and terrifying power. In "Argentine Ants", the little rampant ants destroy all people's dreams and turn life into a painful swamp, which concretely embodies the disasters faced by modern society.

In the turbulent year of 1947, 23-year-old Calvino published his first novel: "The Path to the Spider's Nest". Everything that happens in the book is described through the eyes of the naughty boy Pien: war, sex, heroism, history... The author writes in the preface: "This is a story written on the edge of guerrilla war. It has nothing to do with heroism and sacrifice, but it conveys its color, rhythm and bitter taste."

"Young Man" is a very important novel written by Fyodor Dostoevsky, a great Russian writer in the 19th century, in his later years. It can be said to be the author's autobiographical novel, which shows his outstanding concern and in-depth thinking about the practical problems of Russian society at that time, as well as his strong moral color. The work takes as its main line the growth experience of Arkady Dolgoruky, a young man who was not deeply involved in the world and was deeply influenced by Rothschild's thoughts. It depicts the corrosion of the souls of the young generation at that time by the money worship in Russia in the 1870s when capitalism was developing rapidly. The novel also reflects the disintegration and decline of the Russian aristocracy by creating the typical image of Andrei Versilov, a Russian aristocratic landowner intellectual with dual personality.

This is the story of three parallel worlds that exist in the same time and space. They rise together, alternate with each other, share weal and woe, and depend on each other for life and death. The first world belongs to ants. They build civilization in the soil and compose a magnificent epic at our picnic place. The second is human society. If an anthill is like a miniature human society, then human society is also equivalent to a magnificent anthill. The third world is the biosphere, which is the sum of all life, a habitat full of infinite knowledge and mysteries, and the common home of thousands of species. In "Anthill," Wilson tells the coming-of-age story of an American boy named Rafe Cody. In order to escape the conflicts between his parents, little Cody often fled to the Nokobe Lake area near his home, where he observed and studied various animals and plants, and gradually grew into a little naturalist. When he graduated from college, Cody completed his graduation thesis using anthills as a research object. When he learned that the Nokobe Lake area might be destroyed by real estate development companies, Cody chose to enter Harvard Law School for further study, became an excellent lawyer, and successfully defended the ecological environment of the lake area using legal weapons. The entire novel can be divided into three main lines, namely anthill, human society and the entire ecosystem. Wilson's description of the rise and fall of ant colonies and tribal wars is comparable to "Homer's Epic", and his portrayal of human families and society by analyzing anthills has paved a unique, almost spectacle-like path for us to understand human society.

In a five-story apartment in the Petersburg slums, Raskolnikov, a poor student, lived. He originally studied in the law department, but was forced to drop out because he could not afford the tuition fees. Now he relies on the money saved by his mother and sister from their tight living expenses to survive. He hasn't paid rent for a long time. Recently, the landlady not only stopped providing him with food, but also pressed for rent. At this time he met Marmeladov, a young civil servant. Marmeladov fell into a desperate situation due to unemployment, and his eldest daughter Sonia was forced to become a street prostitute. Raskolnikov did not want to be manipulated like Marmeladov, and he planned to use "experiments" to prove that he was an "extraordinary person." After Raskolnikov committed the murder, he was in a painful conflict and could not get rid of his inner fear. He felt that all his original good feelings were wiped out. This is a punishment of conscience that is more severe than legal punishment. He realized that his "experiment" had failed. So he came to Sonia with a painful heart. Inspired by Sonia's religious thoughts, he told her the truth and motives of the crime. Under Sonia's persuasion, he surrendered to the police. Raskolnikov was sentenced to eight years of hard labor and came to Siberia. Soon, Sonia also came there. One morning, the two met by the river. They were determined to believe in God, endure all suffering with repentance, and gain spiritual rebirth.

After "Idiot" came out, it caused a sensation and praise, but also caused widespread criticism. Many left-wing "progressive" writers and critics have accused Dostoyevsky of his opposition to socialism, accusing him of poisoning the people with the opium of religious spirit, preaching to give up resistance and revolution, and preaching patience and obedience. What they especially cannot tolerate is Dostoevsky's nihilistic and self-contradictory worldview, and his pessimistic stance of having no confidence in human beings. What they need and appreciate are "professional revolutionaries who are unyielding and full of perseverance" like Rakhmetov. Revolutionary leader Lenin's fierce criticism: "The worst imitation of the worst Dostoevsky" liquidated the writer from the ideological standpoint of socialist revolution.

During the American Civil War, five northern prisoners of war, led by engineer Sirus Smith, who were trapped in the Confederate army, took advantage of a typhoon during the siege to escape in a hot air balloon. During the escape, they were blown down by a storm on a desert island in the Pacific. However, they did not despair. Instead, they united and helped each other, using everyone's wisdom and hard work. From their bare hands to making pottery, glass, windmills, telegraphs, etc., They tamed the chimpanzee Jupu and became everyone's servant. They helped the exiled criminals restore their humanity and became their loyal partners. They repelled the attacking pirates and built a prosperous and happy life with the help of mysterious people and science. It was not until the "Duncan" commanded by Captain Grant's son Robert passed by that they were rescued by the changes in the earth's crust. After returning to the United States, these "islanders" restarted the adventure stories of the business they established on the island.

In France, there is a priest who is called Monsieur Myrière. He focused his main energy on religious preaching to the poor. On many occasions, he almost spent all his money to help the poor. There are few luxuries in his life, except for a relatively expensive set of silverware. There was a criminal who was released after being imprisoned for 19 years. This criminal's name was Jean Valjean. The main reason he was imprisoned was because he stole a loaf of bread and tried to escape from prison. After being released, he came to a town called Dini and wanted to stay in a small hotel. However, according to the laws of this town, he must show his valid identification. Because of his criminal record, the hotel rejected him. Although he can pay his bills, everyone else in town has closed their doors. Only M. Myrière opened the door to him. Jean Valjean didn't know how to respond to Mr. Myrière's friendly gesture. At this age, I have never been treated sincerely by anyone. Unfortunately, after he was released from prison, he was short of money, so he couldn't help but steal the priest's set of silverware and ran away. Mr. Myrière did not call the police. However, Jean Valjean was arrested. The police brought Jean Valjean back to Mr. Myrière. The priest did not tell the truth to the police and concealed the fact that his silverware was stolen by Jean Valjean. It is tantamount to saying that the priest lied. However, he kindly reminded Jean Valjean that the set of silverware was expensive, and now he just hoped that Jean Valjean would live a good life from now on. The implication is to tell Jean Valjean not to continue on the path of crime. The priest's words touched his inner world, and Jean Valjean began to fight between heaven and man. Even as his mind was in confusion, Jean Valjean stole a few steel jumpers from a boy's pocket. Finally, Jean Valjean decided to change his mind and open up a new life path from now on. He came to Monterey, just offshore. This time he hid his true identity. He sold the silverware and used the money as start-up capital to open a factory. Later he became the mayor of this place. At this moment, a girl named Fang Ting also came to the same city. Her arrival eventually caused a turmoil. Jean Valjean's true identity was exposed, and the police officer Javi who had been looking for him appeared. Jean Valjean had to embark on the road to escape again...

"Setting Sun" is set in the chaotic and depressed Japanese society after World War II and describes the decline of an aristocratic family. The mother and her daughter Kazuko, who were born in the aristocracy, were unable to survive financially, so they moved to Izu to live. The mother and daughter depended on each other and lived quietly. The return of his younger brother Naoji, who was soon drafted into the army, broke the originally peaceful life... The alcoholic and drug-addled younger brother Naoji overprinted the author's early years, and his sister Kazuko, who was determined to risk everything for "love and revolution", highlighted the author's depressed spiritual world during the war... And the mother vaguely entrusted the author's aristocratic feelings and aesthetic ideals, like a ray of sunset passing through the miserable wind and rain, which is also the symbol or incarnation of the "setting sun". Translated by the famous translator Lin Shaohua.
