"Mr. President" is a novel written by the famous Guatemalan writer Miguel Ángel Asturias, winner of the 1967 Nobel Prize for Literature. It is one of his most important masterpieces. This book uses Estrada Cabrera, who was in power from 1898 to 1920, as the prototype, using comic exaggeration to create an image of a vulgar, cunning, cruel, and sinister autocratic tyrant. Under his clutches, the entire country was shrouded in an atmosphere of ignorance, poverty, terror, and despair. In many chapters, readers can only identify the ghost-like shadow of the dictator from the words, deeds, psychology and descriptions of other characters' fates. He is invisible, but he is everywhere. He is a god living in everyone's heart. The novel uses this method of focusing on anti-object and combining fiction and reality to cast a layer of mysterious fog on the image of the tyrant. The gloomy and depressing atmosphere carefully designed throughout the book is reminiscent of hell under the rule of the devil. "Mr. President", together with "The Funeral of the Dictator" by Usral Petrie, "The Decline of the Patriarch" by García Márquez, and "The Tyrant Banderas" by José Luis García Sánchez, are collectively known as "the four major anti-authoritarian novels in Latin America".

And she laughed at herself: "I can't even make one piece." She watched the cruelty of creation, the parasite eating the host out of the stomach, and the inheritance of life based on this life-and-death struggle. Or wasteful, those ephemeral bugs lay thousands of eggs, and countless of them die, and a species survives just by relying on the few that survive.

I'm ready." - "You Want It Darker" Legendary singer Leonard Cohen passed away in November 2016. In an interview with The New Yorker in his later years, Cohen said: "I'm ready to die, I just hope it won't be too uncomfortable. That's it." At the end of Cohen's life, he was only doing one thing: compiling a book of unpublished poems from the "notebook" where he recorded daily inspiration. Fire was an idea and image with which Cohen was intensely preoccupied in the closing years of his life. Cohen's poems are warm, candid and eclectic, and present the strong image of "flame" to the world. We are fortunate to witness the brilliance of Cohen's fire of life. "Leonard didn't mind talking about death at all. ...'Death' has appeared in Leonard's poems and songs from the beginning. As early as decades ago, Leonard had reached some kind of friendly agreement with 'death'." - Sylvie Simmons (author of Leonard Cohen's biography "I'm Your Man")

The lost pearl of the stream of consciousness profoundly influenced the creation of Joyce's "Ulysses", the famous work of "Italian Proust" Italo Svevo! Recommended by James Joyce, J. M. Coetzee, James Wood, and Alain Robbe-Grillet. A wealthy trader from Trieste writes about the most basic experiences of his past life for a psychoanalyst. The uncertain studies at the university, the death of his father, the self-conscious passion for a young girl, the marriage to the girl's sister, the happy and comfortable family life, the mistresses, the more or less lucky and often unprofitable trading business, there was nothing on the surface that could lead to a serious consequence for him: a wife who lovingly maintained the family life, and an agent who wisely managed most of his wealth. Moreover, the aging Zeno did not take an undue interest in these rather ordinary events; he recalled them and interpreted them with only one purpose: to describe his illness and prove that he was ill. The exact nature and vital importance of this belief is what his novel attempts to illustrate in its large format of three hundred and fifty pages. The universe he immerses us in is both grotesque, magical, and completely everyday. It suddenly reaches an exceptional level and remains so until the end.
