Ernest Hemingway (1899-1961), one of the most outstanding writers in the United States, winner of the 1954 Nobel Prize for Literature. "A Farewell to Arms" is one of his major works. In the late stages of World War I, American young man Frederick Henry volunteered to drive an ambulance for the Red Cross and rescue the wounded on the northern Italian front. During a mission, Henry was hit by a cannonball and injured. While recovering from his injuries in a Milan hospital, he was cared for by British nurse Catherine, and the two fell in love. After recovering from his injuries, Henry returned to the front line. When he retreated with the Italian troops, he witnessed the cruel scenes of the war. He resolutely left the army, joined Catherine and fled to Switzerland. As a result, Catherine died in childbirth. Based on his own experience in the war, Hemingway sang a sad and moving elegy with war and love as the main lines. It has been adapted to the screen many times and can be called a classic of modern literature.

Two sisters, Eleanor and Marianne, were born into an English squire family. After their father's death, the inheritance went to John, his son from his first marriage. They and their mother became financially strapped and, seeking to escape a life of dependency, set up home in a country house in Devon. As a result, Eleanor broke up with the young man Edward (brother of John's wife Fanny) whom she fell in love with, and Willoughby, whom Marianne met and fell in love with in the country, suddenly went to London for business. Both sisters were separated from their loved ones. Elinor often uses reason to control her emotions, but Marianne's emotions are passionate and exposed. In the face of love, the two reacted differently. The famous British literary writer and critic Keble commented that "Jane Austen is a comic artist" and believed that she was "second only to Shakespeare in terms of pure comic art." Thomas Macrolay, a famous British historian, poet and political commentator in the 19th century, called her "the Shakespeare of prose". As for the awakening of female consciousness reflected in Jane Austen's works, even today, more than two hundred years later, people's expectations for marriage still do not exceed its delineated scope-marriage is not a necessity in life. Marriage based on love is certainly beautiful, but if marriage is not for love, it is better to live alone.

The short stories and novellas selected in this book are all masterpieces of Hoffmann. Among them, the novella "Miss Scoudeli" is set in Paris during the reign of Louis XIV in the 17th century. It tells a bizarre story about an eccentric artist. It was hailed by some critics as "the first important detective novel" in German literature and had a certain influence on future generations of such novels. "Beautiful Mandala" tells a bizarre marriage and love story of a young college student. "Cousin's Corner Window" is a conversational novel about an episode in the life of a seriously ill, quadriplegic writer in his twilight years. "The Golden Vase" and "The Legend of Zack the Dwarf" are both artistic fairy tales. The former uses a humorous style to describe how a college student escapes from the depressing philistine environment and escapes to a whimsical and wonderful kingdom; the latter criticizes the current social ills and the corruption of the feudal court through the experience of a character who has no real talent and only knows how to cheat and bluff. It is Hoffmann's most cherished masterpiece and the most important satirical work of the German Romantics.

During World War I, the American young man Frederick Henry came to the Italian front as a volunteer and served as a lieutenant in a field ambulance team, where he met the British nurse Catherine. During a mission, Henry was injured and was sent to Milan Hospital for recuperation, where Catherine also happened to be transferred to work. After an unexpected reunion and Catherine's careful care of Henry, the two fell in love. After recovering from his injury, Henry, who returned to the front line, became more aware of the cruelty of war. In order to escape the punishment of the so-called "AWOL" officers, he resolutely left the army and joined Catherine, and the two fled to Switzerland together. Unfortunately, after a short period of happiness, Catherine died in childbirth, and the baby also died of suffocation, leaving Henry alone in the world.

It won the 1978 Booker Prize, the highest award for English literature, beating Kingsley Amis and Penelope Fitzgerald's novel by a true artist. She is a British post-war female writer as famous as Doris Lessing, a lover hurt by Canetti, and Sontag's philosophy teacher. She was slandered and hated, and she worked hard for literature. A provocative text in the same vein as "Cutting the Audience", it uses the accusations and confessions of a theater director in his later years to aim at a subversive rewriting of Shakespeare's magical drama "The Tempest". Taiwanese novelist Luo Yijun highly recommends this contemporary British novel that left Harold Bloom in awe. "The Sea, The Sea" is the 1978 Booker Prize-winning work. The novel tells the story of sixty-year-old Charles Arrowby, a director, playwright and actor who is a highly admired idol in the British theater world. When he was ready to retire from his glamorous world in London, "vowing to renounce magic and become a hermit," he chose to return to live by the sea. He hoped, at least, to escape "those women"... But unexpectedly, he met his first love from the past, and Charles' cousin James, who believed in Buddhism, also came to the seaside. The peaceful life he originally expected to live completely changed. Not only was he horrified when he saw a monster rising from the waves, but he also found that although he wanted to live in isolation, he was surrounded by his own fantasies and delusions and was deeply troubled. The novel is majestic, complex and exquisite, fully demonstrating the contradictory motivations of the main characters: vanity and jealousy of human nature, as well as selfishness and callousness under the disguise of society.

The core of "The Heart is a Lonely Hunter" is a lonely heart. The novel tells the story of Singer and Antonapoulos. On the surface, they are a pair of deaf-mute friends, but in fact they have profound meaning, implying how difficult it is for people to communicate tacitly. With Singer as the axis, it describes the living conditions and emotional conditions of the little girl Mick's family, Dr. Copeland's family, the owner of the cafe Brannon and others. Everyone is an individual. "Everyone seems to be lonely." They don't trust each other and exclude each other, but they also need to rely on each other. Singer could not speak, but he had a pair of eyes that were different from ordinary people and bright. In the eyes of everyone, Singer knew everything, Singer knew everything, and Singer was omnipotent. Then Singer became a mystery and was regarded as the object of confiding by many people, and "everyone described the mute according to their own wishes." It seems that only by talking to a mute can ordinary people have no worries and all the loneliness in their hearts can be vented.

Collecting a 10,000-word preface by Haruki Murakami, the new translation fully reflects the charm of the original work.

I have to travel a long distance today, but I am not in the mood to read an epic. Noir novels may be suitable for me. They need a lot of plots. There are erotic booksellers who are desperate, a nympho who uses guns as toys, layers of mysteries, and a lot of wit that makes people slap their thighs. But there must be no sentimental words." The female clerk handed him "The Big Sleep".

In this book, Thoreau described in detail the various wild fruits he saw during his walks in an almost diary form, recording their flowering, fruiting, and ripening, as well as the color, shape, and taste of the fruits, as well as their relationship with insects, squirrels, and birds. Thoreau poured his heart and soul into it. Although the writing is simple and unpretentious, it is affectionate and contains deep philosophy.

Nominated for the Nobel Prize for Literature 21 times, the true "uncrowned king" of the Nobel Prize, the work of Graham Greene, the master British novelist of the 20th century, the legendary life of a famous British writer, a shocking group painting of the turbulent fifty years of the 20th century, and a masterpiece in the field of writer's autobiography.

This is also the origin of this autobiography. The curse of his personality prevents him from stopping to look for danger - obviously, a boring, monotonous and peaceful life is more terrifying than the shadow of death. There is no doubt that Gray is a brave man and has his own principles of justice; his escapes are not only bizarre adventures, but also fighting in his own way.
