What is talent? Do you feel deeply inferior because you feel you have no talent? This book is told in the form of two timelines intertwining the past and the present, divided into the "past" in 1999 when the protagonist Minori went to college and the "present" from 2019 to 2020. Through Minori's perspective, he tells various stories about what happened to his nephew, grandfather, and friends in the university club, and explores what "talent" really is. Minori has been stuck in a whirlpool of self-doubt for the first half of her life. She envied her friends who had meaningful and challenging jobs, but she was frustrated and unable to recover. Minori has always been overwhelmed by the talents of others, and has come to the conclusion that she has no talents, and has a very low self-esteem. But after learning about her grandfather's story, Minori finally discovered that the so-called talent is something that varies from person to person. It is ever-changing and has no fixed form. It requires everyone to actively search and explore throughout their lives, rather than simply defining it as having or not having it.

The Successors (collected Works of Golding)

Golding, the winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature, is another masterpiece that explores the darkness of human nature after "Lord of the Flies". The subject matter of the novel focuses on primitive humans, using the perspective of prehistoric Neanderthals to witness the conflict between Neanderthals and Homo sapiens - a profound reflection on the inheritance of human civilization. Nobel Prize winner William Golding considers his most successful work to be even more profound in theme than "Lord of the Flies". The novel tells the story of the arrival of spring, when a small group of primitive Neanderthals returned to their familiar habitat as in previous years. But this year, strange things happened - mysterious sounds and smells, unexplainable acts of violence, and looming, unimaginable creatures hiding behind the leaves. These Neanderthals, their life or death was uncertain, their world hung in the balance. Through their eyes, the story explores the emergence of a new race - ourselves, Homo sapiens - and the catastrophe it brings to ancient races as its dominance continues to strengthen. At the end of the novel, Homo sapiens snatched away a Neanderthal baby, leaving a glimmer of hope that Neanderthals and Homo sapiens once thrived together. The great thing about "The Heirs" is that Golding created a language to express Neanderthals, leading readers to see everything from a Neanderthal perspective, enter the interior of a life, and experience its various senses. At the same time, Golding uses plain, cold and simple language to describe the most solemn cruelty and pain in the world. The progress of human civilization has to pay such a cruel, bloody and moral degradation price.
