"Mansfield Park" was started in February 1811, two years before the publication of "Pride and Prejudice", and was completed "shortly after June 1813".

Like several other Austen novels, "Mansfield Park" takes the love and marriage of young men and women as its theme, but the plot is more complex, the emergencies are more concentrated, and the social satire is more intense, revealing the artificiality and absurdity of the British upper class. Judging from the publication time, "Mansfield Park" is only one year later than "Pride and Prejudice", but the tone and atmosphere of the two works are quite different. "Pride and Prejudice" is both light and bright, while "Mansfield Park" is more solemn and has a more obvious moral preaching color.

It is a milestone in the history of the development of British novels, indicating that Jane Austen was already a quite mature female writer when she wrote "Mansfield Park".

During this time, Weiden witnessed Larsen's ruthlessness and his violent rule. Nicknamed "Sea Wolf", Larson is stronger than the average sailor and has infinite strength. We firmly believe that "the big swallows the small, the strong bullies the weak". In order to save one of his sailboards from being washed away by the big waves, he actually risked the life of a sailor Kelly. When he was unhappy, he took it out on the cook Thomas, had him caught, tied with a rope and thrown into the sea to torture him. As a result, one of his feet was bitten off by a shark. When Wei Deng accidentally removed the ashes on him, he punched and kicked him. Eventually his violent rule sparked a rebellion, and several sailors banded together to throw him and his first mate overboard, where they perished. However, he climbed back onto the ship and regained control. Later, he used the excuse to retaliate against the two sailors who led the resistance, and used the storm at sea to kill them.

"The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" from the novel collection was adapted into a movie of the same name, directed by David Fincher and starring Cate Blanchett and Brad Pitt. In this collection of novels, Fitzgerald created the image of a group of young men and women who pursued their dreams but were disillusioned after the war. Their works are the crystallization of the poet's sensitivity and the dramatist's imagination, and are the product of their artistic talents reaching their peak. Fitzgerald's charm comes from his clear narrative, elegant writing style, colorful and iron-like final words and sentences. This style is best reflected in his short stories.

The children carrying rifles and the German soldiers who witnessed in horror his perfect marksmanship, the guerrillas who fantasized about regaining freedom while being shot on the road, the cunning little Moor who earned fifty liras by renting a mattress for half an hour, the thief and the police who focused on licking cream pastries and forgot about each other... Thirty stories accompany Calvino on his initial literary path, clarifying and defining his poetic world: here is not polluted by anger and boredom, not intensified by conflict, and you can breathe the purest air.
