"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.

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.

Dazai Osamu's true masterpiece! "The most beautiful commemorative novel" in Osamu Dazai's heart! Recognized by millions of readers! Translator Yang Wei of the phenomenal translation "Human Disqualification" has dedicated his heart to the translation! The novel is set against the background of the chaos in post-war Japan. It unfolds through the first-person narration of Kazuko and the diary and suicide note of her brother Naoji. It depicts the setting sun-like life of the descendants of aristocrats with their social status declining day by day. It places the beauty of the future on the protagonist, shining a gleam of light amidst the decadence.

The 36 articles in this book discuss 31 classic writers and their works. It is the best introductory book into the world of classics. Here, Calvino opens up his eclectic and eclectic secret bookshelf to us and talks about his ideal book collection. With passion and wisdom, Calvino makes literary works present various charms in front of readers. Free of academic jargon and journalistic glibness, erudition rather than showmanship, and full of genuine passion for literature. Because of this, this book has moved thousands of readers around the world, whether they are reading it for the first time or re-reading it in a new way.

"The Complete Collection of Curiosities of the Universe" is the first time that all the fascinating stories about the universe told by Calvino since 1964 are collected in the same book. "The Complete Collection of Curiosities of the Universe" also plays an interesting role in making concepts that are difficult in modern science easy and visible, thereby establishing a literary genre that is closer to the myth of the origin of the universe than to science fiction. Calvino said that "The Complete Curiosities of the Universe" is not a science fiction story, that is to say, it is not a traditional science fiction story in the style of Jules Verne and H. G. Wells - although I appreciate it very much. Behind the cosmic curiosities lie more Leopardi, comic strips of Popeye, paintings of Samuel Beckett, Giordano Bruno, Lewis Carroll, poker aces, and sometimes engravings of Randelphi, Immanuel Kant, Borges, Granville.

Calvino agreed that this book is "an autobiography written in the third person" and admitted that "any experience of Palomar is my experience." The protagonist Palomar in the novel is very imaginative and speculative. He is obsessed with detailed observation of objective objects and their states, such as the waves of the sea, the shape of geckos, the moon, stars, and grass. He constantly asked himself various questions, such as sexual desire, death, people's situation in society, etc., And explored the relationship between people and the universe, the disorder and order of the world, and the language communication between people. Here, Calvino, incarnated as Palomar, conceals his final contemplation of the world in the narrative, penetrating the entire experience of life. Calvino passed away one year after the novel was published. What is significant is that the last chapter of "Palomar" is entirely devoted to the protagonist's meditation on death.

In this autobiographical meditation, Calvino turned to his past: the awkward childhood of traveling with his father, the lifelong love affair with the cinema, the memories of the anti-fascist war, the reflections on language, the perception of kitchen trash cans, and even the shape of the entire world. His reflections on the nature of memory are intelligent, fascinating, and brimming with a unique alchemical brilliance. The first "Road to St. John" is Calvino's detailed memories and descriptions of his hometown city of San Remo, showing the natural and cultural scenes of San Remo, as well as his early life experiences. "Autobiography of a Spectator" is actually about the author himself, mainly about his experience of secretly running away from home to watch movies in the years from 1936 to the outbreak of the war. It records the memories left in his mind by the movies from various countries screened in Italy at that time, as well as the impact of movies, mainly American movies, on the lives of Italians at that time. The second half of this article mainly writes about the perception of the works of the outstanding Italian director Fellini. You can explore the influence of film on his creations in this article. "Memories of a War" is Calvino's recollection of a war he participated in as a guerrilla after the war. The article didn't talk much about the details of the war, only the little things that the war left in his memory. This kind of memory actually has the nature of creative practice. "The Lovely Trash Can" starts from the trash can in the kitchen when the author lived in Paris, covering its use, location, emptying time, etc. It actually describes his life in Paris and can be regarded as Calvino's memories of that period of life. "In the Dark" is a possibly unfinished note. If asked about his understanding of the world and the universe, the author's understanding of concepts such as elements, matter, breadth, and thickness of the world is more like a worldview within the scope of philosophy. This article is of some help in understanding Calvino's cosmology and "The Curiosities of the Universe".

This biblical allusion was unearthed by Wilde's masterful hand to have the darkest and most profound connotation. The entanglement of desire, the outbreak of abnormal love, and the weird atmosphere are all developed to the extreme by him in this short space. Beardsley, a talented painter who died young at the same time, can also be regarded as the best interpreter of Wilde's demonic works. The translated classic version of "Salome" not only includes many illustrations created for the book by the famous British illustrator Beardsley - known as "one of the most successful collaborations between poets and painters in history", but also adds classic paintings about Salome by the French symbolist master Gustave Moreau - the mysterious and gorgeous religious atmosphere created in the work adds a unique aesthetic experience to readers.
