This book is the fourth volume of Fitzgerald's collected works. Actress Rosemary meets the protagonist Dick Diver, a psychiatrist, on the beach in Cannes. His wife Nicole is his past patient and suffers from schizophrenia. He was gentle and courteous, and Rosemary quickly became smitten with him. Although she repeatedly expressed her feelings to him, Dick remained unmoved. After returning to Paris, his loyalty to his wife Nicole seemed unwavering, but in fact he was involuntarily attracted to Rosemary. In order to get rid of his fantasy about Rosemary, Dick began to write a monograph, trying to be as gentle and considerate as possible to Nicole, who had relapsed into hysteria and was still mentally unstable. While on vacation in the Alps, he met his former friend Franz and used part of his wife's considerable fortune to set up a clinic with him. At this time, Nicole received a letter accusing Dick of adultery with a patient. Her condition worsened and she deliberately crashed the car during an outing. Dick was extremely depressed and went on vacation alone to relax. On the way, he met Rosemary by chance, but only realized that their short-lived love was irretrievable. In the end, he drank to drown his sorrows, and his wife left him. He was once the epitome of this romantic era, but in the end he became a self-pitying loser. The novel witnesses the disillusionment of the "Jazz Age" in which Fitzgerald spent most of his life, and to a large extent achieves what the author himself calls "a thorough and painful understanding of life."

"Pirates Offshore" is a fictional romantic story, and the heroine Ardita is simply the image spokesperson of Fly Girls. She is completely opposed to a mediocre life and would rather live in a beautiful lie. "The Ice Palace" is filled with a strong poetic flavor.

A landmark classic in the field of feminist literature. Susan Cuba, a well-known feminist scholar and co-author of "The Madwoman in the Attic", provides a 20,000-word introduction. A Room of One's Own is based on two lectures Woolf gave at Cambridge University in 1928. In 1929, Woolf combined the two speeches into one, entitled "Women and Novel", and published it in the American magazine "Forum". It was later published as a book under the title "A Room of One's Own", which caused a sensation. The style of "Room" is humorous, quirky, and full of quotations. It uses sharp words to interrogate the injustice and oppression of "women" as the second gender in legal and social history, and eloquently puts forward the importance of economic foundation and independent space to women's mental freedom. There is also a wonderful discussion on the idea that "great souls are androgynous". Woolf encouraged women to break the cage in their minds, bravely go to the outside world, cultivate free habits, and create to their heart's content.

Woolf's famous work is the foundation of stream-of-consciousness novels. It has many innovations in subject matter, style and writing methods. Woolf created an eternal classic with her keen perception of the moment. "Mrs. Dalloway" was published in 1925 and is known as the foundation of the stream of consciousness novel. The novel describes a day in the life of the heroine Clarissa Dalloway, detailing her preparations for a dinner party held at home. However, what readers see is not just Mrs. Dalloway's activities in a day, but her temperament, her encounters, and her relationship with her family and friends. The characters' memories and the transformation of time and space are intertwined and interpenetrated, falling like raindrops in colorful colors, making us unconsciously empathize with each other, and the picture of Mrs. Dalloway's life is slowly unfolding before our eyes.

Published in 1937, this book was Woolf's last novel published during her lifetime, and it was also her best-selling work during her lifetime. This book tells the history of the Padgett family for more than fifty years, from the unpredictable spring of 1880 to a summer night dance in the 1930s. The personal lives of the characters are placed on the stage, through dialogue and psychological activities, while various historical events serve as the background, looming. Along with the characters in the book, we grow, lose, are moved, regret, endure, and are heartbroken. Completely different from the author's previous novel "The Waves", this book focuses on the description and presentation of reality and deliberately downplays fantasy and poetry. Behind this effort is Woolf's ambition and courage to innovate in her prime years of creation.

"The Waves" is Woolf's work at the peak of her creative power and was published in 1931. This poetic experimental work does not have a story in the strict sense, but is more like a musical work composed of nine movements: each introduction is an exquisite prose poem, using the ebb and flow of the sun and waves to correspond to the ups and downs of life; following each introduction are the momentary inner monologues of six highly formalized characters without surnames in their respective life stages - from childhood, studenthood, youth, middle age to old age. The introduction and the main text map each other, opening up an unprecedented and nuanced channel for the readers' senses, and getting closer to the essence of life, time, consciousness and feeling to the maximum extent. This is a work that occupies an important position in the palace of modern literature. To this day, it still stirs our souls with its exquisite text structure and poetic style.

Gentle and unpretentious, Ogawa Ito tells her daily life in more than 50 essays. She is both a writer and a lifer. Being able to spend every day calmly and peacefully is such a hard-won life. Please remember this rare happiness. There are some burdens to bear in life, some of which cannot be easily told to others, some of which make oneself regretful, and some which make oneself feel guilty. Surviving is by no means a simple matter. Many times it doesn't work out. For a whole day, without deliberately doing anything special, just because of the food, singing, dancing, silence, and talking and laughing, my heart will be filled to the top and extremely happy. Life is slowly managed along these small blessings. Take off the burden on your shoulders and see the scenery that you couldn't see if you were just trying to be brave. Living life as usual is the most powerful resistance to the cruel world.

There must be many things hidden in this world that I can find if I keep looking. Ogawa Ito's words are just right and restrained, implying deep feelings, making people want to seriously cherish every moment of light in life. "If I can harvest grapefruit in my garden in the future, that will be enough to make people cheer. There should be a long, long way to go before that day." Ogawa Ito wrote an essay about his life spanning a year with his usual delicate words. Ogawa Ito's ability to create atmosphere is extremely strong, making people feel that everything is a beautiful fragment of life. Ogawa Ito deconstructs simple daily life, every word and sentence is concise and gentle, full of just the right amount of elegance and affection. No matter which page you turn and which paragraph you read, you will feel beautiful but not excessive. In monotonous days, Ogawa Ito chooses to decorate his life with different rewards. Living every day well is the greatest reward for yourself.

[Best-selling author Ogawa Ito returns with heart-warming following "Camellia Stationery" and "Sands Day at the Lion House"] In spring, feel the warmth from the heart, stand under the blooming cherry blossoms, and be a serious flower viewer. On a hot summer day, the sun shines on the lake, putting peaches into the cool lake water. Thousands of light and shadows soothe people's hearts. In the season of falling leaves, make your favorite pastries with your own hands, stay in the kitchen all day, and enjoy a pleasant cooking time. The breath of winter is coming, brew a pot of hot tea, and use chestnuts in the middle of the night to eliminate all mediocrity and fatigue. The bits and pieces that are repeated, repeated, repeated, repeated constitute life itself. It is in this daily life that I write one story after another and listen to them fall to the ground.

In order to escape from the worries of the world, a painter left the city in early spring and went into the mountains, where he stayed temporarily in a hot spring house called Nagujing. In the middle of the night on the first day of his stay, the painter was awakened by a burst of singing. He stood up and looked around, and saw a woman vaguely appearing in the attic outside the house like a phantom, and then disappeared again. The next day, he got up early and took a bath, wondering whether what he saw and heard last night was a dream, but he saw the "phantom" walking towards him serving tea. It turns out that this graceful "phantom" is the daughter of the master of this family. She appears in front of the artist's eyes like a fairy in the painting, showing a hazy and mysterious beauty. Afterwards, the painter went to a nearby barbershop for a shave. The owner of the barbershop said that the hot spring master's daughter, a girl named Namei, was divorced and had a "crazy" temper, and asked him not to get too close. A young monk who came to the barber shop to have his head shaved retorted that Namei was a very wise adult. The beauty that everyone talks about, the beauty that seems absurd and simple in conversation, has become an otherworldly and "inhuman" existence in the artist's heart. The artist feels that every move she makes is like the person in the painting, and imagines that if he develops feelings for her, can this feeling be called "inhuman"?

"I Am a Cat" is a famous work by Japan's "national writer" Natsume Soseki, which has a profound influence on Japanese literature. The novel adopts humorous, satirical and comical techniques, and from the perspective of a cat, it describes the daily life of its owner Kushamana and his friends, as well as various phenomena in the human world as seen by the cat. This cat is self-righteous, witty, humorous and witty. The author used his words to ridicule the empty spiritual world of the intellectuals in Meiji society, and exposed the snobbish, vulgar, and ferocious nature of Kaneda and other bourgeoisie and their accomplices.

Natsume Soseki's unique and gorgeous work is a long masterpiece of haiku written in a series of beautiful words. It is a confrontation between modernity and classics, and the confrontation between glitz and simplicity. Blooming in silver, and fading in silver. This flower is poppy poppy. In Japan after the Meiji Restoration, amidst the tremendous social changes, the confrontation between tradition and modernity, morality and utilitarianism was extremely fierce. A group of young men and women each chose a different life: the poet Ono was born in poverty, and he was extremely vain and tried to completely change his life by marrying a rich girl; the philosophy graduate Kono was world-weary and pessimistic, and decided to leave the hypocritical family; the beautiful but arrogant rich girl Fujio hoped to get rid of her original engagement and find another good relationship... In the end, these young people met their unexpected but reasonable endings. In the last chapter of the novel, on the silver screen in the deceased Fujio's room, there is a poppy with verdigris stems and red and purple petals, which "blooms in silver and withers in silver", gorgeous but disillusioned. Natsume Soseki took this flower as his title and used it as a metaphor for people. People are "busy making trade-offs between this way of living and that way of living." They are satisfied with the comedy of existence full of frolic, noise, deception, contempt, and trampling, but ignore the great tragedy of life under the decline of morality.

Natsume Soseki's prose essays have been continuously translated and introduced in the country in recent years and are deeply loved by readers. "Nagahi Essays" is another important collection of essays by Natsume Soseki after "Ten Nights of Dreams". It not only contains Soseki's description of Japanese people and customs, but also his reminiscences of his time studying in England. The writing may be humorous and warm, dreamlike or dreamlike; or it may be profound and philosophical.

Sanshirō, a young man who went to university in Tokyo from a small place, had three worlds in front of him. The first world is hometown, an old world that although people feel familiar with, no one wants to go back to. In the second world, there are libraries, dim laboratories, and a stable but monotonous campus world. The third world is like a bright spring, with electric lights, silver spoons, bubbly champagne, and outstandingly beautiful women, so close yet seemingly out of reach. A classic that spans a century, it vividly portrays the ignorance and confusion of young people in a small town when they face the dazzling modern city for the first time. A hometown that cannot be returned to, a city that cannot be integrated into, every young man is a lost lamb.

This book contains a total of eleven short stories by Ryunosuke Akutagawa. It is a collection of Ryunosuke Akutagawa's representative works from different periods. It profoundly shows the game between human nature and desire, the choice of good and evil, and the helplessness of life. Among them, "Hell Transformation" tells the story of a highly skilled painter, Yoshihide, who, in order to pursue the highest realm of art, cruelly sacrificed his daughter to complete a "Hell Transformation" screen that shocked the world. Ryunosuke Akutagawa uses a unique layout to push the protagonist in the article to the extreme situation of life and death test, thereby showing readers the opposition between good and evil and conveying his understanding of human nature.
