The Idiot (selected Collections of Dostoevsky)

"The Idiot" is a novel written by the 19th-century Russian writer Fyodor Dostoevsky. The novel describes Nastasia, a stunning woman from a noble family in the 1860s, who has been ravaged by the landowner Totsky for many years. Later, Totsky was willing to pay a large sum of money to marry her to the despicable Ganya. At the heroine's birthday party, the young Duke Myshkin, who was regarded as an idiot by people, suddenly appeared and was willing to marry Nastasiya unconditionally, which moved her deeply. On the day of her upcoming wedding to the Duke, although she loved the Duke deeply, she ran away with the playboy Rogozhin. Finally, he was killed by Rogozhin. The novel gives a broad description of the Russian upper class after the serfdom reform and involves complex psychological and moral issues. The work expresses that the world cannot be quantified rationally, and is even beyond human imagination. What is inexplicable and unachievable by humans does not require thinking, and those who think about it and practice it are "idiots". This should be a perfect irony of the belief advocated by many Enlightenment thinkers that "man's logical calculations must conform to the laws of nature, and human calculations are equal to heaven's calculations." This kind of logic that overly believes that the world can be calculated and excludes all contradictions and willful movements is actually the arrogance of human beings.

"The Six-Part History of England" is the representative work of the historical writer Peter Ackroyd, which includes six volumes: "The Founding of the Empire", "The Tudor Dynasty", "The Age of Rebellion", "The Revolutionary Century", "The King of the World" and "Revolution". It writes the historical process of this legendary country in a magnificent way: how this once closed island country gradually turned into an empire with territories all over the world through religious reform, parliamentary system, technological and ideological revolution, as well as trade and colonial expansion; and how it repositioned itself in the new post-war order as the empire declined today and continued to influence the world. Ackroyd's writing conveys his deep attachment to this country that once stood at the apex of human civilization. It not only creates a history of struggle and innovation for the rise of a great power, but also creates a glorious national epic. "Renovation" is the final volume of Ackroyd's "Six Parts of History of England". With the death of Queen Victoria and the tragic situation of the British army in the Second Boer War, the theory of the decline of the British Empire began to become rampant: it paid a heavy price for its strategic mistakes in the two world wars, and lost its colonies in the wave of national independence. The British Empire seemed to be in decline. But as the 20th century progressed, Britain relied on its own strength to complete the rise of the working class, the popularization of women's suffrage, and the construction of the welfare state. It also witnessed the prosperity of the Bloomsbury Group, the popularity of the Beatles, and the influx of colonial people. This ancient country, which has experienced rise and fall, will glow with new vitality in the new order of the 21st century.

Ackroyd's writing conveys his deep attachment to this country that once stood at the apex of human civilization. It not only creates a history of struggle and innovation for the rise of a great power, but also creates a glorious national epic. "The Founding of an Empire" is the first volume of Ackroyd's "Six Parts of History of England", covering the long historical period from the beginning of British civilization to the fall of the Plantagenet dynasty. This volume not only discusses the political and military history of prehistoric Stonehenge, Roman rule, the invasion and conquest of Anglo, Saxon and Jute tribes, the establishment of the Kingdom of England, the Norman Conquest, the Wars of the Roses and the rule of medieval kings, but also explores the origin of the English nation, religious and spiritual life, the formation of customary law, the creation of parliamentary system and the signing of the Magna Carta and other cultural and institutional history. It was through the people's lives, political events and institutional innovations during this period that the British Empire laid a solid foundation for its prosperity.

"I feel that in the corresponding background and music, I was able to successfully say goodbye to the twentieth century from a personal perspective."

This novel is simply intended to be evidence of how one of those who began his own literary experiment in 1945, then and now, has followed the fantasy of capturing a smell, a flash, a creak, a tone of life. A difficult idyll, a difficult memory, a difficult love, a difficult life. In these four volumes of short stories, Calvino lets his stories speak for themselves, keeping silent about what we expect, leaving us alone to resolve our hesitations, to listen to the endless rhythm of life, and to explore the hidden laws of the universe.

Flaubert formed a close friendship with the young philosopher Poitvin very early on. Poitevin's pessimistic thoughts and aesthetic views had a considerable influence on Flaubert. Flaubert's thoughts are also obviously influenced by Spinoza's atheism. When he was in middle school, he read romantic works enthusiastically and engaged in literary study. These works express "demonic egoism" and anarchic fanaticism, with a strong romantic flavor. In his later years, in addition to carefully guiding Maupassant's writing, Flaubert has been writing his last novel "Bovard and Pécuchet", which is only one chapter short of completion. This novel can be said to be the companion volume of "Emotional Education" and can be called "Intellectual Education".

"Les Misérables" is another magnificent masterpiece written by the famous French romantic writer Victor Hugo after "The Hunchback of Notre Dame". It is a novel that represents Hugo's thoughts and artistic style. With outstanding artistic expression, the book shows people a picture of the French Revolution from 1793 to 1832 through the description of the tragic experiences of Jean Valjean and others and a series of touching deeds done by Jean Valjean after he was converted by Bishop Myrière. The brilliant picture of French social and political life during the Paris Popular Uprising in 2006 profoundly exposed and criticized the decadent nature of French society and its criminal phenomena at that time, and expressed compassion and sympathy for the exploitation, fraud and cruel persecution suffered by the poor people under heavy pressure.
