"Grass Pillow" is one of Natsume Soseki's early important masterpieces. The novel writes about "I": In order to escape the worries of the world and seek a world of "inhuman" beauty, a young painter came to a remote mountain village and what he saw, thought and heard there. The work focuses on describing the people and scenery in the mountain village, interspersed with a large number of "my" monologues about art theory and aesthetics, and comparing the differences between Eastern and Western art. The most core point in these monologues is "inhumanity". The so-called "impersonal feelings" are a realm that transcends morality or human feelings, a worldly realm that transcends the secular world, and is also an artistic aesthetic. For example, the "I" in the work believes that the artistic conception conveyed in Tao Yuanming's poems is deeply "inhuman". Therefore, "The Straw Pillow" is more like Natsume Soseki's treatise on art than a novel; and the description of the mountain village style and the occasional haiku and poems make this work like a beautiful travel prose. In short, "The Straw Pillow" is a unique work and well worth reading.

The inner spiritual bloody breakthrough of "killing the angel in the house" is a more fundamental and more arduous liberation for women than winning the outer room and money--

This book was translated by Fu Lei in his early years. It aims to strengthen life cultivation and improve the quality of the people. "It can give some hope to the decadent people and add some courage to the fighting heroes." It is a rare self-cultivation reading today.

Pasternak inherited the great lyric tradition of Russian poetry, and also incorporated the poetic techniques of Symbolism, Acmeism and Futurism, eventually becoming a unique lyrical master. Pasternak's poems were a little obscure in the early days, but later they turned sad and hard, and in his later years they had a strange brightness. His poetry collections mainly include "Crossing the Barrier", "Life, My Sister", "Theme and Variations", "The Second Birth", etc. This collection of poems contains nearly 100 poems by Pasternak from various periods, giving a complete overview of Pasternak's poetry creation.
