All personal memories about Paris are blended into a common historical memory of Paris. As the saying goes, "Paris will never end."

"The quiet girl is waiting for me in the corner of the city. She loves but does not see, and hesitates." If "The Book of Songs: The Quiet Girl" is used to describe the passionate love feelings of the couple Darcy and Elizabeth (Litz) in the novel "Pride and Prejudice" at that time and place, except for changing "the corner" to Pemberley Manor, the rest of the description is generally appropriate. The beautiful and intelligent girl Liz rejected Darcy's advances due to prejudice and misunderstanding. Later, she learned about Darcy's noble character and regretted it. After repenting, she realized that she was deeply in love with Darcy, but she could not express her love for him. Two young hearts met, followed each other, and even accompanied each other countless times, but they never collided. The two hearts are looming, sometimes far and sometimes close.

Therefore, whether Darcy was anxious or scratching his head, it was all in silence.

This is the first time in China that the works of Richard Yates have been collected and published, and it is also the first time in China that this contemporary American classic writer has been comprehensively and systematically translated and introduced. It collects almost all of Yates's important works and fully displays Yates's literary world; America's "great writer in the age of anxiety" and a faithful recorder of mainstream life in the United States in the mid-20th century. Critics have compared Yates with Chekhov, Fitzgerald, and John Cheever. The characters are lifelike, the writing is delicate and sophisticated, the plot is well-conceived and fascinating, and it has the power of compassion to make people cry while reading. Yates's works are all about the ordinary lives of ordinary people, describing the loneliness, loss and despair of ordinary people. He himself once said: "If there is any theme in my works, I think there is only one simple one: people are lonely, no one can escape, and this is their tragedy." A common theme in his works is the fragmentation of the "American Dream", and they represent an important aspect of the American experience: the chaos in the economic boom after World War II. The middle-class suburban life seems peaceful and comfortable, but beneath the surface of happiness is often addiction to alcohol, mental crisis or even on the verge of collapse. It can be said that Yates's work is like a ruthless mirror that reflects the shortcomings and strange phenomena of American society. He writes candidly and without whitewashing, fully revealing the oppression and alienation of people by society, as well as the extreme loneliness in the nature of each person.

"Kindness" is a collection of short stories and short stories by the Hungarian writer Krasnohorkaj Laszlo, which includes eight stories including his masterpieces "The Trap of Ruz" and "The Barber's Hands". His works are obscure and have gloomy themes, and are often classified as postmodern novels. The sentence structure in the story is weird, the location is ambiguous, the meaning is elusive, the plot is extremely jumpy, the structure is often radioactive, the narrator is always unclear, and the ending is full of mystery. In addition, the preface written by teacher Yu Zemin for the work is also very exciting. It not only details the author's creative process, but also analyzes Laszlo's almost crazy "Chinese complex" with first-hand information based on his own experience. There is no doubt that this will shorten the distance between readers and the work.

In the book, Nietzsche created the important concepts of "Apollinian spirit" and "Dionysian spirit", using this as an entry point to reinterpret ancient Greek culture with a unique perspective and wise language, and then explore the origin, essence and function of art and even the meaning of life. Nietzsche believed that the art of Apollo (Apollo) is manifested in sculptures and epics, which is a dream art; the art of Dionysus (Dionysus) is manifested in music, which is the art of drunkenness. Greek tragedy originated from the chorus of Dionysian sacrifices and was the product of the fusion of "Apollinian spirit" and "Dionysian spirit". Nietzsche regarded the "Dionysian spirit" as the fundamental foundation of Greek art, that is, "the affirmation of life... The will to life that rejoices in the endlessness of its vitality." He believes that when Greek tragedy reached its peak, the enemy that caused its demise also emerged, that is, the critical spirit of Greek Enlightenment philosophy represented by Socrates. Greek tragedy "died to destruction" in the opposition between Dionysus and Socrates, but Nietzsche predicted that the "Dionysian spirit" will surely reappear, and a new tragic era will surely come.
