The famous work of "National Great Writer" Natsume Sakiki is printed on the Japanese yen! A classic unanimously praised by Lu Xun, Haruki Murakami, and Ryunosuke Akutagawa! This book was serialized in the "Cuckoo" magazine in 1905. It vividly reflected the thoughts and life of Japan's petty and middle-class bourgeoisie at that time, and sharply exposed and criticized the "civilized and enlightened" capitalist society of the Meiji era. As the epitome of the cat owner Kushaya in the novel, Natsume Soseki mocked the helplessness and ignorance of intellectuals in the Meiji era, as well as the ugly face of the supremacy of money. The cat's own world is also an interesting part of the novel. The funny scenes of doing the cat dance with the rice cake demon and trying to catch mice but ending up in embarrassment make people laugh. Cats' usual sports, such as "catch cicadas", "sliding on the pine", and "walking on the fence", are all reminiscent of the funny behaviors of cat people outside the novel world. The social life of cats is equally colorful. The bad cat "Heizi" from the coachman's family and "Sanmaozi" from the two-stringed harp master's family enrich readers' imagination of the world of cats. The world of cats also reflects the world of humans.

On this side of the sea is a luxurious resort hotel; on the other side is a bustling city. The two stages face each other across the sea through the hot and humid air of midsummer. The story shot switches repeatedly inadvertently as consciousness flows: the city on the other side of the sea is filled with a jubilant atmosphere and is about to usher in a grand carnival. At the same time, three teenagers picking up peaches killed wild dogs on the garbage mountain; in the military mansion, the lonely colonel continued his crazy whispering in front of his lover; in the circus, the middle-aged guard took his wife and children to watch the deserted and failed performance; in the hospital ward, the tailor watched his dying mother moaning and struggling with swelling and itching... On this side of the sea, the young painter was enjoying a luxurious beach vacation, but the shadow of that city reflected in his eyes: noisy, chaotic, dirty, filthy, rotten, degraded, and helpless. Will the sea bring the corpses from across the sea here? No, the dead body will probably disappear without a trace on the way, and the greedy and sharp-toothed fish will peck at it. The thick salt will melt the bones in the sea water. This is the sea. The sea lay between that city and us.

"Heart" is the work of Natsume Soseki, a master of modern Japanese literature and a critical realist writer. It is still among the ten works that Japanese middle school students like to read.

Most of the protagonists in O'Connor's works are incompatible with their surroundings, and the contrasting effect produced reflects his writing style.

In Paris in 1819, the Napoleonic era had just come to an end. Behind the prosperity of the upper class, ladies were worried about lovers and debts, nobles were weighing wealth and love, and wealthy businessmen were planning speculation and business. In a low-income apartment in the lower society, various characters are inextricably linked to the upper class: the upstart old man Gao was drained by his two daughters and died desolately in a shabby corner; the mainland young man Rastignac is determined to rise to the top and urgently needs to learn many rules of the upper class; the gangster leader Mufu Tolen is dormant in the dark, waiting for an opportunity to declare war on secular society... In "Petro Goriot", Balzac depicts the unique spirit of the times during the period of social transformation: moral decay, social tension, confusion of values, and poverty of the lower class.

In this web of money and sex, Self's relationships with everyone around him are laid bare. Money is everywhere and omnipotent. As the only "true god" that Self trusts, it can not only fulfill all of Self's despicable and greedy human desires, but at the same time pave the way for Self to fall into hell.

In its straightforward, uninhibited and decadent description, this book profoundly highlights Amis's extreme ridicule of "money" and the silent sorrow of the twisted human soul corrupted by "money". From this "Tale of Two Cities" at the end of the 20th century, we can see how commercial producers in London used erotic films to pursue their dream of the showbiz world in New York. Everything is over the top, full of madness, subverting three views, and leading the trend of British experimental novels in the 1980s. It is an all-encompassing masterpiece.

Zuckerman's fellow countryman Pepler, with his strange origins and lingering past, is an unforgettable comedy creation.
