The first African-American female writer to win the Pulitzer Prize for Literature - Alice Walker's first short story collection, published in 1973. This book collects 13 short stories, telling the various experiences of black women in real life, such as marriage and family, race and faith, and how many shackles still cannot restrain their desire to pursue themselves.

It accumulates spiritual strength for the next generation of black women to change their destiny, marking a major change in black literature.

Mallarmé was a French Symbolist poet and essayist, and he was a representative figure of early Symbolist poetry along with Rimbaud and Paul Verlaine. Mallarmé made an indelible contribution to the development of French poetry and literature. Mallarmé is very difficult to understand. These two reasons are enough to explain why the master of Symbolism, Mallarmé, is still being continuously and patiently interpreted by scholars in France and around the world even after the death of symbolist literature and art for so long. Sartre conducted research on Mallarmé and Symbolist poetry. Sartre raised a universal question through his critical biography of Mallarmé: Does the literature of the death of God (Nietzsche's language) still exist? Mallarmé's tragedy lies in his determination to become a "capital man", to engage in "capital poetry" at all costs, and then turn the great failure of poetry into a great failure of poetry.

In the book, Anderson depicts characters in a small town, a group of people he calls freaks. The "freakness" of the freaks is not reflected in their appearance, but in their personalities. They all have "strange and beautiful personalities" and have a certain behavior or a certain firm belief that ordinary people do not have.

"Oblomov" was created more than a hundred years ago and is Goncharov's masterpiece. The novel creates a typical "Oblomov character" and reveals the profound social and life roots of Oblomov's tragedy of self-destruction. Oblomov was upright, kind, and gentle, but he was lazy, indulged in fantasy, inactive, conservative, and pampered, and regarded labor and public duties as unbearable burdens. Although he envisioned a huge action plan, he was unable to accomplish anything. In the end, he could only lie on the sofa and dawdle, becoming a complete lazy man and waste. The novel delicately describes his spiritual death process and expresses the strong anti-serfdom sentiment and desire for change in society on the eve of serfdom reform. Oblomov is a product of the collapse of serfdom, and his character is the inevitable result of the influence of lifeless manor life on his spiritual life. His image marks the limit of the degeneration of Russia's "superfluous people" in the 19th century. He is a typical example of a declining landlord. This is also the most successful aspect of the novel. This image marked the end of the image of the "superfluous man" in Russian literature in the 19th century.
