"Selected Main Philosophical Works of Descartes" is a selected translation of the philosophical works of René Descartes, an important French philosopher in the 17th century. It covers Descartes' main philosophical works, including "A Discourse on Method", "Meditations on First Philosophy", "Principles of Philosophy" and "Passion of the Soul". Among them, "Principles of Philosophy" has not been published in Chinese translation since 1958. As an important representative of European rationalist philosophy, Descartes put forward important philosophical propositions such as "I think, therefore I am" and "universal doubt", which had a profound influence on the development of later philosophy. Hegel called him "the father of modern philosophy". The four Descartes works in this anthology have been translated and published in Chinese single editions earlier, but some of them are difficult to find due to their age, and some of them have inherited many errors in the original versions. This book examines the Latin, French and English versions of Descartes's works, marking the differences between the versions, which helps readers grasp Descartes' philosophical thoughts more carefully and accurately through comparison.

As a writer who advocates reason, Ayn Rand's primary contribution in this book is that she completely demystifies writing. She firmly believes that writing is a skill that can be learned and anyone can learn it as long as they master scientific methods and are guided by rational principles. This book is compiled from 10 "Novel Writing Classes" lectures given by Ayn Rand to friends. First, Ayn Rand discussed the relationship between the subconscious and inspiration in novel writing. She pointed out that inspiration is not obtained deliberately, but is the natural result of the continuous accumulation and polishing of materials in the subconscious. Afterwards, Ayn Rand gradually and in-depthly analyzed the four key elements of novel writing in a clear context: theme, plot, characterization and style. She started from her own creative experience, and at the same time, she also compared and analyzed passages of works of multiple creators in detail, and gave readers unique and practical writing suggestions.

This book is a collection of "Ancient Water Margin" written by Mr. Mei Jihe during the Republic of China, that is, the last fifty chapters are not allowed to be banned. The first 70 chapters are basically consistent with the Guanhuatang version of "Water Margin" reviewed by Jin Shengtan; while the last 50 chapters are completely different from the currently popular 120-chapter version of "Water Margin". The Liangshan heroes here were not recruited. Until Chapter 120, they were still fighting bloody battles with the government troops. The next 50 chapters were separately typed and printed by Shanghai Zhongxi Book Company in 1933. The preface by Mr. Mei Jihe recorded the details of the publication at that time. The last 50 chapters of "Ancient Water Margin" have twists and turns in the plot and distinctive characters. Some scholars believe that it is the same author as the first 70 chapters. By comparing and analyzing the last 50 chapters with the first 70 chapters, we found that the plot structures before and after are coherent and consistent, and the layout echoes back and forth, forming a tight unity; without the former, the latter cannot be established; without the latter, many plot arrangements in the first 70 chapters are difficult to understand accurately. The characteristics of the characters before and after are consistent. The main characters in the last 50 chapters can be judged by their words and deeds. None of the other sequels that can be seen now can reach this level. The world view reflected before and after is consistent; the artistic style is consistent; especially the language characteristics of the times and local characteristics are also consistent.
