"The Age of Innocence" is a 1920 work by Edith Wharton. In 1921, the book won the Pulitzer Prize for Literature, making Mrs. Wharton the first female writer to win the award. In this work, May and Newland, a pair of golden girls from the upper class, are about to get married. At this time, the bride's cousin Ellen escaped from a bad marriage and returned to New York from Europe. She was plagued by rumors. Her arrival shook Newland's mind. At first, Newland was worried that Ellen's stain would affect the family about to get married. Soon, he began to be attracted to this woman who ignored the obsolete rules of New York's upper class society, and he had doubts about whether he wanted to marry May, the perfect product of old New York society. This is a dilemma between red roses and white roses, as well as a struggle between social stereotypes and individual freedom. Compared with "Fun House", "The Age of Innocence" is a novel with a softer and more elegant tone. In her biography, Wharton wrote that the book "The Age of Innocence" allowed her to "temporarily escape from the present, return to her childhood, and return to an America that has long disappeared... In 1914, the world I grew up in and heard was destroyed." Many scholars and readers also agree that "The Age of Innocence" is fundamentally a story that attempts to reconcile the contradictions between the old and the new world.

"The Eye of the Storm" is the representative novel of Patrick White, Australia's first Nobel Prize winner for literature, establishing his status as a literary giant. The novel uses Mrs. Hunter's activities from her critical life to her burial as the story frame. Through her inner monologue and free association, the novel narrates her life of debauchery and misfortune. In Sydney, in a decaying mansion, Elizabeth Hunter, who is over eighty years old, resists the approach of death. In front of the hospital bed, a pair of children driven by profit, three nurses with different personalities, a clown-like housekeeper, and an upright but cowardly lawyer all staged a tragicomedy of intrigue, love and hate in this hypocritical and indifferent family. Elizabeth, who was once beautiful and dissolute, greedily grabbed everything and harmed her family and friends; but the approach of death allowed her to find the perfect state of goodness that she had never found throughout her life while half asleep. Just like what Elizabeth experienced on the island many years ago, the painful storm will cleanse away the emptiness and absurdity of life, bringing a pure and quiet eye of the storm.

"On Sea Power" is Alfred Thayer Mahan's work on the history of naval warfare and the theory of sea power. In this book, Mahan epoch-makingly proposed the concept of "sea power", elevating the control of the ocean to a strategic level that determines the rise and fall of a country. He believed that sea power and the rise and fall of a country share weal and woe, and maritime interests were crucial to the strength of a country. At the same time, he advocated vigorously developing the navy, developing the merchant fleet, developing maritime trade, and building naval bases and commercial ports. This book interprets the view of "sea power supremacy" from six perspectives: geographical location, natural structure, national territory, population, national characteristics, and government nature. As a masterpiece of sea power, this book also has literary qualities. It objectively and vividly reproduces the process of previous naval battles, expresses praise for outstanding naval generals without revealing anything, and elaborates on the role of sea power in the development of history, especially the development of world history from the geographical discovery in 1660 to the end of the American War of Independence in 1785. It also discusses some necessary factors for sea power. The book attracted attention as soon as it was published. The United States, Japan, Germany, the former Soviet Union and other countries have successively used it as a guide for formulating national development strategies. Since Mahan's death, two world wars and changes in the world's strategic pattern have fully verified the view of sea power theory.

To live is to dare to cry, dare to laugh, dare to be angry and be free. And living alone is an attitude towards life. A person's life is not to be completely alone, but to talk more freely with oneself, friends and the world. "Living Alone" is the work of Japanese soul poet Shuntaro Tanikawa when he was in his late seventies. During this period, he experienced the death of his father, the birth of his grandson, the separation of his friends, and began to live alone. Through Shuntaro Tanigawa, we can see the ideal of a person's life: passion, loneliness, elegance and freedom. He defends a person's life, using delicate and Zen-like writing to record those mood swings that are easily obscured by daily trivial matters and difficult to capture. Starting from the trivial and ordinary daily necessities such as food, clothing, housing and transportation, he writes letters, eats, listens to concerts, and writes poems, describing his understanding of family, friendship, and love, and talks about life, death, and aesthetics wisely and generously. Life is difficult to describe in one sentence, but the author tells everything frankly, creating this collection of essays full of light philosophy on life. Everyone needs a space of their own, where a free soul lives.

"Edinburgh Notes", written in 1879, is one of Stevenson's most interesting and personal works. Stevenson was born in Edinburgh, where he studied and lived. He himself was to Edinburgh what Joyce was to Dublin, always concerned about it but always at a distance during his lifetime. He once said: "There is no star as lovely and moving as the street lights of Edinburgh. If I forget you, Edinburgh, then please let my writing right hand lose its flexibility!" This book is composed of a series of prose, from Edinburgh's Old Town, Parliament Square to the New Town, Calton Hill and the Pentland Hills, unfolding a unique landscape painting. The work is both a travelogue and interspersed with social commentary, and is overflowing with the author's feelings about his hometown. The Edinburgh in the book is a three-dimensional city with dramatic contrasts - a city spread out between the old and the new, between wealth and famine, between mansions and countryside. In some chapters, the author eulogizes the beauty of the city and its unique spiritual temperament with a sense of nostalgia, while in chapters such as "Legendary Stories", he focuses on the dark and gloomy side of Edinburgh, such as the alcoholic lower class, social scandals, and the evil on the fringes of the city. Only a knowledgeable person who truly loves Edinburgh can tell all this honestly without falling into the clichés of critical literature. In short, this is the work of an Edinburgh "insider". This book was introduced by the Gutenberg Project and translated into Chinese for the first time.
