Liu Cixin praised: "All my works are parodies of Arthur C. Clarke!" 104 Classic short stories, plus a twelve-zodiac sign bookmark. Stare into the universe like Clark and face the smallness and greatness of humanity. Produced by Reader Panda Jun. The three volumes contain 104 classic short stories by Arthur C. Clark and come with 12 zodiac sign bookmarks. It is the ultimate collection for science fiction fans. In Arthur C. Clarke's universe, the true meaning of civilization is the enlightenment from the black slate of alien civilization, the encounter between the sunset generation and the dawn generation in the intersection of time and space, an elegy from a distant mother star, and a sigh at the remnants of history. In Arthur C. Clarke's universe, human beings are just a grain of sand among the vast stars, but they have burning desires. They dream of flying to the stars and unlocking the ultimate code of destiny. They are greedy and tragic, small and great. Stare into the universe like Clark and face the smallness and greatness of humanity.

If there must be death in mystery novels, this book touches on perhaps the most cruel and desperate situation. One incident changes a person's life.

They said I treated Mizuho like a toy and that I was playing with a dead person. I don't understand, Mizuho is obviously still alive, why do they say she is dead? Many times, we think death is a moment, but actually death is a process. Desperate protection, distant thoughts, endless struggle. When hope turns into despair, pain is like endless darkness swallowing up life. Challenging the boundaries of human nature and morality, it is the ultimate test of love in the human heart.

If there must be death in mystery novels, what is touched upon here may be a cruel and desperate situation!

"Dangerous Venus" is a work that even Keigo Higashino himself cannot easily evaluate. After reading "Dangerous Venus", you will find that you have never understood Keigo Higashino before. Different from works such as "Malevolence", "Dangerous Venus" exhausts the complex side of human nature: everyone has the instinct to do good and the motivation to do evil; there is rationality and there are also irrepressible and crazy desires. "Platinum Data" has a depth worthy of repeated reflection, far beyond the scope of "mysterious novels". From one soul to another, it is self-salvation and a deep understanding of human nature. "Japanese Oscar" actor Ninomiya Kazuya starred in the original novel of the movie of the same name, and the Japanese version sold 1.7 Million copies. In the end, this book is still human after all. The question of sex. "The House of Sleeping Mermaid" - another comforting work by Keigo Higashino after "The Sorrow Store". It is both sad and warm. This is a story that makes us face life again. No mystery novel is as heartbreaking as this book, and there is no book that gives us the belief in "life".

Anthony Burgess once said, "Maugham's real talents are all in the short stories he wrote. They are the best language I have ever read." Compared with longer stories, short stories may be what Maugham really loves to write, and they are also what he is most comfortable in writing, so people call him "the British Maupassant".

In 1963, the British Penguin Publishing Company republished it in four volumes.

In the rear of the Northern Expedition, from April to May, bloody massacres of communists broke out in Guangxi, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Hunan. On the front line of the Northern Expedition, in July, the Nationalist Government in Wuhan announced the "division of the Communist Party," and the Chinese Communist Party fell into isolation both politically and militarily. Surrounded by forces from all sides, the CCP secretly launched the Nanchang Uprising on August 1 and succeeded in one fell swoop. However, capturing the city of Nanchang was almost the last good luck for the rebel army: Nanchang was surrounded by plains and had no danger to defend. It was located at a strategic point on land and water, and could face encirclement from all sides at any time. The rebel army decisively broke through and sought to establish a base in the Chaoshan area. In a desperate situation with no rear and no supplies, the rebel army fought hard all the way. After the Battle of Huichang, the Drifting of the Tingjiang River, the Battle of Tangkeng, and the Battle of Quicksand in early October, the main force of the rebel army led by Ye Ting and He Long was on the verge of collapse. At the time of crisis, Zhu De stepped forward and led the rest of the rebel army to fight in the Fujian, Guangdong, Jiangxi and Hunan border areas. In April of the following year, he successfully joined forces with Mao Zedong's troops in Jinggangshan.
