The story told in "Vampire" begins in the early 19th century, when a strange British aristocrat named Ruthven was active in London's upper class. The young Aubrey developed a strong curiosity about Ruthven and traveled with him. The two broke up in Rome because of different interests. Aubrey went to Athens alone, where he met a beautiful woman. However, the latter died of a vampire attack on a stormy night, and Aubrey became ill as a result. Lord Ruthven then came to Athens to take care of Aubrey, and after he recovered, the two traveled together again. The two encountered robbers on the way, and Ruth was seriously injured. Before she died, Aubrey made Aubrey swear to conceal his death. Then Aubrey returned to London and learned that his sister was engaged, and her fiancé was the dead Lord Ruthven! The word vampire first appeared in 1732. The "London Daily News" in March of that year published a strange thing that happened in Hungary: a mercenary named Arnold Paul turned into a vampire after his death and killed people. When people dug his body out of the grave, they found that the body was still fresh and showed no signs of decay, but pure and bright red blood flowed from his seven orifices, just like the legendary vampire. In 1745, three British gentlemen published a European travelogue in a newspaper, introducing German folk vampire rumors to British readers. The travelogue wrote: "These vampires are believed to be the corpses of dead people... Walking out of the grave at night, sucking the blood of many living people, and even killing them." However, the story of vampires was gradually forgotten, and it did not make a comeback until the early 19th century.

Mr. Chen Xiaoming, the editor-in-chief of "Mo Yan Studies (2004-2012)", is a leading figure in the study of Western literary theory, especially modernist literature, in my country. He is at the commanding heights of academics and has a high position to select the most in-depth research results at home and abroad in one volume, showing the solid power and brilliance of Mo Yan's works. As he said frankly in the "Preface": "The selection of articles in "A Study of Mo Yan (2004-2012)" starts in 2004, and the lower limit ends when Mo Yan wins the Nobel Prize for Literature. After winning the award, the critical evaluation of Mo Yan will be different, and the lower limit of "A Study of Mo Yan (2004-2012)" is precisely to avoid intentional or unintentional hindsight."

"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".

The English Revolution that broke out in 1640 started the process of modern world history. Religious disputes, ethnic conflicts, and conflicts between the royal power and parliament tore Britain apart. Civil war and revolution raged for decades. National sovereignty changed hands many times, and a true and cruel "Game of Thrones" was staged. The political thinker Thomas Hobbes personally experienced this turbulent era, and in his later years wrote the political history work "Behemoth", which focused on the English Civil War. The book is based on the political turmoil in England from 1637 to 1660. It adopts the form of dialogue to discuss the causes of the British Civil War, the occurrence and development of the Civil War, and Hobbes's own views on the Civil War. The title of the book is named after the land monster "Behemoth" in the Bible, echoing the book "Leviathan" named after the sea monster "Leviathan". It can be said that "Behemoth" is Hobbes's analysis of the British Civil War using his mature political theory in his later years, and it is the application of the national theory he constructed in "Leviathan".

We are watching, we are listening, we are feeling; we are laughing, we are distressed; occasionally there are days that we want to keep in our hearts and are difficult to replace. Maybe these are days when nothing happens; however, we are still waiting. We are waiting for something to come, or recalling the interesting things about light and shadow when we were young, or interpreting popular films in a unique way, or recording behind-the-scenes shots on the set. "Garbage Basket Cinema" may be the film utopia in Shunji Iwai's mind.

Certain historical figures were buried twice, first in a tomb and then in the shadow of their fame. This is the case for Jacques Cole, the protagonist of "The Dream Maker". He was the first French merchant to set his sights on the East and the supervisor of King Charles VII. He lived in the early fifteenth century and witnessed this era of continuity and the transformation of the Middle Ages giving way to the Renaissance. This separation of the past and the future made people ignore his own reality, the instigator of the revolution. This book is written in the voice of Cole, who lives in exile on the island of Chios, recalling his magnificent life: from the golden leopard that represented the Eastern dream in his childhood to the calm and precocious young man during the siege, from the ambitious businessman and powerful official who traveled around the world to his precarious life in exile, and his only love.

Love in the Time of Cholera is a novel written by Garcia Marrs after he won the Nobel Prize for Literature. It tells a love epic that spans more than half a century and exhausts all possibilities of love: loyal, secretive, rough, shy, platonic, fleeting, and dependent on life and death. Mars once said: "This is my best work, a creation from my heart." In Colombia at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, crazy love was as rampant as cholera. At the funeral of Dr. Urbino, who died unexpectedly, his wife was extremely sad, but received an unexpected guest: her former lover Florentino appeared and told her that more than half a century later, he was still waiting for her. It all started with an accidental glance many years ago. The young operator Florentino fell in love with Fermina at first sight, and the two made a private life. However, they were opposed by Fermina's father, and Fermina left him feeling the emptiness of their love. More than fifty years later, he finally had the opportunity to declare his unchanging love again.

Palace walls and palace gates weaved a web of love, power and desire, trapping them in it and entangled them endlessly. The fluttering sleeves hide murderous intent; the flying flowers light up the dream, and the smoke rises everywhere. They suffered greatly from the red walls and blue tiles.

Let the shadows of those who once fought and fought for love and lust blend into the red wall and blue tiles one after another. It wasn't until the prosperity faded away and I became haggard that I realized that my youth and your love had already been buried.

"New Yorker" reporter Elizabeth Colbert has personally experienced global ecological scenes one by one, interweaving three centuries of scientific knowledge and the latest ecological perspectives to draw an outline of today's world for readers: We are indeed living in an extraordinary era, and the sixth mass extinction of species has begun. There are thirteen stories. The American mastodons, great auks and ammonites mentioned in the previous stories have become extinct. This part mainly introduces the ancient mass extinction and its tortuous discovery process. Part Two lays out the realities of the present, in the increasingly fragmented Amazon rainforest, on the slopes of the rapidly warming Andes, and in the outer waters of the Great Barrier Reef. The scope of the great changes is so vast that with the right guidance, extinctions can be found anywhere. Finally, there is a story about an extinction that pretty much happened in my backyard-and maybe in yours at the same time. As the story progresses, readers can gradually realize, like scientists, that the source of the current round of mass extinction lies in humans themselves.

This work includes film reviews, music reviews, current reviews and book reviews. I hope that the "Ten Life Reviews" I wrote can be regarded as a practice of cultural studies. Matthew Guo's "History of Western Literary Theory" introduces the origin of "cultural studies" and analyzes the cultural background of "cultural studies" and points out: "At that time, the British elitist culture and literary criticism tradition (represented by Leavisism) was impacted by the new popular culture, and a new stance was needed to look at the elitism that had been excluded in the past. Popular culture phenomenon, pay attention to the power contained in popular culture, and analyze its complex structure and ecology." In fact, Leavis himself said from his elitist stance that "serious interest in literature should not be limited to the careful observation of the small relationships of 'words on paper', but should also include interest in people, society, and civilization."

"The Good Soldier" is one of Ford's most important masterpieces. It was created before the First World War and tells the tragedy of "The Good Soldier" Edward Ashburnham, with a complex and tortuous plot. In fact, the novel uses the narrator John Dowell to tell the emotional story between two couples in a seemingly casual tone. Among the four protagonists, three are dead and one is crazy... A large number of disorderly flashbacks are mixed in, and there is also a lot of space left for the readers to imagine and fill in... Ford's concept of "literary impressionism" has been fully reflected in this novel. No wonder some commentators call it "the father of impressionism in British novels." The original title of this novel was "The Saddest Story", and the first sentence at the beginning was: "This is the saddest story I have ever heard." After the outbreak of World War I, Ford changed the title of the novel to the current ironic "The Good Soldier" (The Good Soldier).

Through the experiences of the writer Turgenev, the French soprano and composer Pauline Viardot, and Pauline's husband, the well-known translator and art critic Louis Viardot, this book explores how the rise of the railway age in the 19th century contributed to the encounter between art and capitalism, how it shaped European literature and art, and how Europe was culturally regarded as a whole without being restricted by national boundaries, forming a consensus of "European culture" and "European civilization." Artists and their works travel across the country. For example, in 1847, Berlioz took the same railway from Paris to Russia via Brussels to hold a concert. Bands, choirs, opera and theater actors, traveling art exhibitions, writers, etc. Became regular guests on the train. International markets opened up for mass-produced cheap reproductions of paintings and prints of books and musical scores.
