The stories collected in this set of books are all adapted from Hitchcock's films and TV series. Hitchcock was recognized as the greatest film director of all time during his lifetime, but he never won the Academy Award for Best Director, although he was nominated six times. He won a special Oscar in 1968 and the Griffith Award from the Directors Guild of America in the same year. In 1979, he won the Lifetime Achievement Award from the American Film Institute. What Hitchcock contributed to the art of film is definitely not just pure film techniques. Just like the characters in his movies often have multiple personalities, Hitchcock's movie personalities also have multiple personalities. He is a master of suspense, a master of psychology, and a master of philosophy in movies. Few people have such a profound insight into the absurdity of life and the fragility of human nature. Underneath the carefully designed techniques, we see a soul that has been suppressed by a strict Catholic upbringing. Hitchcock's movies are a contradictory unity of life and death, crime and punishment, reason and madness, innocence and temptation, repression and resistance. They are poems that directly address the dark hearts of people. He has been called the "Freud of film."

100,000 years ago, there were at least 6 different human species on the earth, but today only 1 remains, Homo sapiens. What happened to cause the rest of the human species to disappear? What will happen to us Homo sapiens? The famous Israeli historian Yuval Harari pioneered the combination of history and science to tell the complete story of the history of Homo sapiens from the Big Bang to the present. Professor Yuval Harari believes that in the long evolutionary history of Homo sapiens from an inconspicuous animal to the ruler of the earth, three key revolutions took place: the cognitive revolution, the agricultural revolution and the scientific revolution. The cognitive revolution gave Homo sapiens the ability to create imaginary orders and fictional stories, completely surpassing other species; the agricultural revolution allowed Homo sapiens to move from a hunter-gatherer life to a settled life, with revolutionary changes in lifestyle and social organization; the scientific revolution allowed Homo sapiens to become a god-like "creator" and gain dominance over the entire earth. Professor Yuval Harari also reminded us to look forward, because in the past few decades, we have begun to violate the law of natural selection, which has been the law of life for the past 4 billion years. Today, we have not only gained the ability to design the world around us, but also gained the ability to design ourselves. Where will this lead us, and what kind of human beings do we want to be? It's time to redefine "human". "A Brief History of Mankind" is a global bestseller that abandons the old interpretive framework and proposes subversive ideas, giving us a new understanding of our own existence.

"Nausea" is a diary novella written by French writer Jean-Paul Sartre, first published in 1938. "Nausea" is the first novella in which Sartre combined his philosophical thoughts with literary forms and used novels to express "existence". Sartre assumes that the protagonist suffers from a disease in the book, and points out that this disease can be suffered by everyone. Therefore, Roquentin sometimes suffers from "nausea" when he is in a state of discomfort, and we can also suffer from "nausea". Roquentin is fighting, trying to get rid of his real existence, to identify with one or some artworks from the past, or even a piece of jazz music "A Moment of Time", to achieve some kind of freedom. This is the central idea that Sartre wants to express in this book: "being and freedom."

"The Scholars" is a novel written by Wu Jingzi in the Qing Dynasty. It was written in the 14th year of Qianlong (1749) or a little before. It is now handed down in manuscript and was first published in the 8th year of Jiaqing (1803). The book's fifty-six chapters use realism to describe the different performances of various people regarding "fame and wealth". On the one hand, it truly reveals the process and reasons for the corruption of human nature, thereby deeply criticizing and ridiculing the corruption of officials at that time, the shortcomings of imperial examinations, and the hypocrisy of ethics; on the other hand, it passionately praises the protection of human nature by a few characters by insisting on themselves, thus embodying the author's ideals. The use of vernacular in the novel has become more proficient, and the characterization of the characters is also quite in-depth and delicate, especially the use of superb satirical techniques, making the book a masterpiece of Chinese classical satirical literature. This book is the middle volume.

"The Black Sailor on the Narcissus" is a unique novel that can be seen as an allegory for human existence. What is particularly unique is that Joseph Conrad set the stage on the sea - a place that is unfamiliar to ordinary writers but familiar to him, and wrote about the typical situations and characteristics of human beings. Human beings are small, fragile, and covered in stains, but they are not unforgivable. It is those simple and tenacious souls that support the backbone of human existence. Conrad used a ship and a voyage to vividly demonstrate the various possibilities of human nature. His narrative skills and meticulous thinking have created this unique style of work.
