Haruki Murakami's new novel is highly anticipated! Born out of the "Phantom Works" that has never been published separately in 40 years, it took 3 years of hard work to write! At the end of the article, there is a rare postscript by Haruki Murakami himself, describing the origin of the book. Haruki Murakami's breakthrough in his 45-year writing career! When a wall of uncertainty divides the world into two, which side will you choose? When I was seventeen years old, I understood for the first time: most important things in life happen at moments we don't expect. For example, your leaving without saying goodbye. All you left me were the enigmatic words and the love that ended abruptly. You say that you are just a shadow, and the real you is in a small city; outside the city is a living wall, which is indestructible and unpredictable. All I know is that I must reach the small town surrounded by high walls. I want to see you again. Even if what is waiting for me in the city is full of uncertainty.

The End of the World and Grim Wonderland (2023 Revised Edition)

"People do not achieve immortality by extending time, but achieve immortality by decomposing time." A fresh and strange urban fable, a masterpiece of Murakami's dual-line writing. As long as you have the heart, you will lose nothing wherever you go. The novel consists of forty chapters, narrated in the first person. The structure of the novel adopts the form of two intersecting and parallel lines, consisting of two seemingly completely unrelated storylines. The twenty odd-numbered chapters are "Cold Wonderland" and the even-numbered chapters are "The End of the World". The two stories seem to be unrelated, but in fact the "I" in the two stories are essentially two sides of the same person. The "I" in "Cold Wonderland" is the actual real world, and the "I" in "The End of the World" is the virtual world in the subconscious. "I" is in a state of self-division and is at a loss to deal with all the fluctuations. The tragedy is caused by "I" being unable to change the two worlds and being confused and helpless. Both plots are extremely absurd, and the novel uses a deformed technique to express the author's understanding of contemporary capitalist society. "End of the World" can see the shadow of Kafka's "The Castle", which is relatively gentle and depressing. The "Cold Wonderland" part is full of American hard-boiled detective novels and science fiction, with a twists and turns and tense plot. The major Chinese publishers of Haruki Murakami's works and translator Lin Shaohua have joined hands to present a new revised edition of Haruki Murakami's long-running series. In terms of design, we cooperated with the internationally renowned illustrator NomaBar. The three colors of black, white and red depict the subtle blur in Murakami's works between the square and the circle, and the overall presentation is both simple and classic. In terms of content, a lot of revisions have been made around foreign words, restoring the details of the author's intentional emphasis in the original version. Lin Shaohua updated the prefaces of the translations of many works, and made slight adjustments to some of the tone and expressions in the translations. The chronology of Haruki Murakami has been updated to the latest, and a music list is attached at the end of each book.

Complete Novels of Jane Austen (set of 5 Volumes)

When Jane Austen lived and wrote, British novels were experiencing a period of sluggishness. From the 1770s to the first decade of the 19th century, no important works were produced. It was not until 1811, when Jane Austen published her first novel, Sense and Sensibility, that she broke this suffocating dull situation. Then, she published five novels: "Pride and Prejudice", "Mansfield Park", "Emma", "Northanger Abbey" and "Persuasion". With their rational light, these works cleared the way for the climax of British realist novels in the 19th century. Jane Austen was also praised by critics as "the incomparable Jane Austen" because she created exquisite works comparable to those of Shakespeare and Dickens. Austen's six novels have been tested for more than 170 years and have been praised by generations of readers. All of them can be regarded as excellent works.

This book is a classic work written by the Qing Dynasty novelist Wu Jianren. It was first published in the form of a serial novel in Shanghai's "World Prosperity Newspaper" in the 32nd year of Guangxu's reign. The works mainly reflect the dark reality of officialdom in Hunan, Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian and other regions during the late Qing Dynasty. At the same time, it also adds some high-level summaries and discussions on the current situation of the officialdom at that time, which has the effect of warning the times and saving the world. As far as the writing technique of the novel is concerned, the author adopts realistic documentary. He faithfully recorded what he saw and heard in the officialdom at that time, and used the structure of "The Scholars" to connect them from person to thing. The author uses the name "Confused World", which can make people deeply feel the critical significance of it. This is also a hint of the author's self-contained praise and blame in the writing style of writing about people and events. It can enable us to observe the events and understand its meaning when reading this novel, and achieve a warning effect of reviewing the past and learning the new. Due to its limited circulation and age, this book is now difficult to access. The author's brush strokes range from provincial and state governors to tailors, matchmakers, and public houses, vividly painting a picture of a society in which right and wrong are reversed and black and white are indistinguishable. This confused and confusing current situation is all caused by the chaos of officialdom and corruption in the officialdom. It is still very enlightening for today's readers.

The dream book of a literary young man: There were six pennies all over the floor, but he looked up and saw the moon. "The Little Prince" and "The Kite Runner" were translated by Li Jihong and recommended by Bai Yansong, Yu Hua, Haruki Murakami, Yang Lan, Cai Chongda, Liu Yu and Yu Minhong. The spirit is superior to matter, the individual is superior to society - this anti-secular and anti-traditional stance explained in the book has made generations of readers cry. The protagonist "I" in the book is an underappreciated writer in London. He met a stockbroker by chance. When he reached middle age, he suddenly responded to the call of his heart and rebelled against everything. He first went to Paris, and then to Tahiti in the South Pacific to live with the indigenous people. He devoted himself to painting and became famous after his death. After he became famous, "I" began to trace his past interactions with artists and their subsequent life experiences. The artist's story is based on the life of Gauguin, a French post-Impressionist painter who lived in extreme poverty and was prepared to die in glory.
