Fernando Pessoa is a great Portuguese poet of the 20th century. He created a unique literary world with more than a hundred synonyms. Among these synonyms, "Gombos" may be closest to the truth about Pessoa himself: the unbridled spiritual world is just a dream he weaves with poetry and words; in real life, he is an ordinary clerk who can never even pack his suitcase when he goes out. This book mainly collects short poems by "Gombos", as well as famous long poems such as "Tobacco Shop" and "The Opium Smoker". This is the first Chinese translation of "Gampos". It is hoped that it can present a clearer image of "Gampos" to Chinese readers and provide an entrance to appreciate Pessoa's huge writing world.

William Butler Yeats (1865-1939) was an Irish poet, playwright, novelist, and essayist who wrote in English. He was praised by Thomas Eliot as "the greatest poet in the English-speaking world of the twentieth century." As Yeats claimed and is generally recognized, the Irish literary revival movement he initiated created a new (modern) national literature - Irish literature written in English. Yeats's poetic style underwent several changes, integrating romanticism, aestheticism, mystical symbolism, and realism, and achieved what he called "the combination of romanticism and realism" in art. As one theorist said, he is "the most modern among modern writers without being a modernist". In 1923, he won the Nobel Prize in Literature "for his poems that express the spirit of the entire nation in a highly artistic form and are always full of inspiration."

Three major Japanese tragedies have resurfaced: the case of a child starving to death in Atsugi City, the case of serial murder of infants in Shimoda City, and the case of Adachi Ward being tortured to death by being imprisoned in a rabbit cage. In an era like this, how much of the truth behind abuse is buried in darkness? This book attempts to uncover these dark facts. The three cases selected in the book, the case of a young child starving to death in Atsugi City, the case of serial murder of infants in Shimoda City, and the case of being tortured to death by being imprisoned in a rabbit cage in Adachi City, all have in common the harsh environment in which parents who abused children grew up, and there is a distorted parent-child relationship between each child's parents. What is love, what is family, what is the weight of life? What kind of life determines that when they become parents, they say "I love you" while abusing their biological children, and even take away the children's lives?

Drugs are banned repeatedly, poverty is everywhere, and families are falling apart. Why has the street corner become a fate that the poor cannot escape? Corner of Fayette and Monroe Streets, West Baltimore. In this forgotten corner, the "American Dream" has long been fragmented to the point where only a nightmare remains. People pay an unimaginably heavy price for drugs. But at the same time, there is still hope, care and love here. "Street Corner" truly records the anxious story that happened in Baltimore, an inland city in the United States, within a year. It mainly revolves around fifteen-year-old DeAndre and his broken family. It tracks a group of marginalized people struggling for survival, reveals the complicated street corner world, and each vivid image appears in detail. Street corners teem with predators and prey, drug dealers and robbers, as well as a mixed bag of police officers, unarmed drug addicts and innocent victimized passers-by. This documentary chronicles the story of street crime in the inner-city city of Baltimore over the course of a year, capturing an unprecedented view of an America that most people know little about. Through just one street corner, the authors vividly demonstrate how little role law enforcement, moral crusaders, and the welfare system play in a landlocked city like Baltimore. "Street Corners" takes ordinary readers deep into those forgotten corners of the United States to understand what people there think, feel and understand.
