The main thread of the book is two stories. One is to tell stories that happened in reality, that is, what happened to "me" in the last year of my life. Because of medical expenses, "I" participated in the TV station's donation program, exchanged emails with peers who had watched the program, and became friends. They were passionate for a period of time, but later learned that he was a false character... During this period, "I" wrote a novel, describing the romantic process of my parents' love, questioning why "I" was born, and what this short seventeen years of life meant to my parents and "me". As a final gift to my parents, this novel constitutes the second story.

In France in the early 1960s, "I" met Philip Dean, a wandering Yale University dropout, a "living idol" in Paris. "I" and Dean drove a Dracchi antique sports car for fun, until Dean met the French girl Anne-Marie, the object of a fiery and burning fantasy, and thus began a love story full of sensual charm. "I" follows Dean and Anne-Marie's romance between voyeuristic fragments and imagination, entering the dizzying depths of desire and emotion like the reader's accomplice. What is love beyond the short time and everything attached to it? Is it merely an artistic conception, an illusion described by others as impossible, created just to somehow understand the coming together and separation in life? A celebrated masterpiece by Paris Review Lifetime Achievement Award winner James Salt, "A Game and a Diversion sets a new standard for literature's primary tool: imagination. A tragic novel about a French love affair that is actually an ambitious and tortuous exploration of the nature and meaning of storytelling itself, and the underlying reasons why we need to create romance." (Sarah Hall)

"Mother" is one of the best works of the great Russian proletarian writer Gorky.

The novel describes the life of the old fitter Mikhail Vlasov and the changes in his son. Through the experiences of this family, it shows how the working class moves from spontaneity to consciousness. The image of the mother is very important in this novel. The mother's awakening process fully reflects the historical trend that the masses will inevitably move towards the road of revolution under the education of the party.
