A Different Literary History

G

133K0

This is a master's book of gossip and Maugham's insight into human nature. Balzac was a softie; Jane Austen was rustic and didn't know how to match clothes; Emily Bronte had homosexual tendencies. Maugham did this not intentionally to play devil's advocate or to sensationalize, but to remove all pretense, leaving only the real torso. Using his profound insight into human nature and his rich experience as a professional writer, he filtered out the possible kinship between the writer's experience and his works, and showed readers a different literary history that is gossipy and fun!

White Nights (a Golden Classic of Russian Literature)

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.

Daisy Miller, an American girl who lived in Italy and "possessed true innocence", was innocent, enthusiastic and cheerful. However, her informal and generous behavior in social situations and the way she interacted with men were not accepted by the European upper class and Americans who had been living in Europe for a long time. They considered her "tawdry", "frivolous" and "naturally vulgar". But Winterburn, an American young man living in Europe, paid no attention to these criticisms. He loved Daisy wholeheartedly, until a bad news suddenly came... Translation original description: The novella "Daisy Miller" was first published in serial form in the British "Cornhill Magazine" between June and July 1878. At that time, the novel was titled "Daisy Miller: A Study". In 1879, Harper & Brothers published a separate version of this novel in New York, and the novel's title was changed to "Daisy Miller". In the same year, the British publishing company Macmillan published this novel and two short stories by Henry James in a collection in London, still titled "Daisy Miller: A Documentary Work." In 1909, Henry James significantly revised the novel and published it in a 24-volume collection of novels compiled by himself (the "New York Edition"). The title of the novel was changed to "Daisy Miller" when it was published. Although the 1909 "New York Edition" is the author's official version, most modern researchers believe that the literary quality of the "New York Edition" of "Daisy Miller" is worse than the first edition. Therefore, classic literary series such as "Penguin Classics" and "American Library" mostly use the 1879 edition instead of the 1909 "New York Edition" when collecting the novel. This translation is from the 2007 edition of "Daisy Miller" in "Penguin Classics" (the original version used is the 1879 British edition), and the translated title follows the "New York edition" in accordance with domestic practice.

"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.
