Woolf's famous work is the foundation of stream-of-consciousness novels. It has many innovations in subject matter, style and writing methods. Woolf created an eternal classic with her keen perception of the moment. "Mrs. Dalloway" was published in 1925 and is known as the foundation of the stream of consciousness novel. The novel describes a day in the life of the heroine Clarissa Dalloway, detailing her preparations for a dinner party held at home. However, what readers see is not just Mrs. Dalloway's activities in a day, but her temperament, her encounters, and her relationship with her family and friends. The characters' memories and the transformation of time and space are intertwined and interpenetrated, falling like raindrops in colorful colors, making us unconsciously empathize with each other, and the picture of Mrs. Dalloway's life is slowly unfolding before our eyes.

Published in 1937, this book was Woolf's last novel published during her lifetime, and it was also her best-selling work during her lifetime. This book tells the history of the Padgett family for more than fifty years, from the unpredictable spring of 1880 to a summer night dance in the 1930s. The personal lives of the characters are placed on the stage, through dialogue and psychological activities, while various historical events serve as the background, looming. Along with the characters in the book, we grow, lose, are moved, regret, endure, and are heartbroken. Completely different from the author's previous novel "The Waves", this book focuses on the description and presentation of reality and deliberately downplays fantasy and poetry. Behind this effort is Woolf's ambition and courage to innovate in her prime years of creation.

In this novel with a very simple plot, the author explores the meaning of life and the nature of the self, pointing out that it is possible for the self to escape the clutches of the endless passage of time and survive forever despite the threat of death. The light at the top of the lighthouse symbolizes the light of Mrs. Ramsay's soul. This book's use of literary techniques is rich and exquisite. Whether it is psychological description, perspective switching, or stream of consciousness techniques, they are all full of artistic color and are amazing to read.

"Flush is a plush version of Woolf." Woolf's rare humorous work and one of the best-selling works, a warm little book written for "dog lovers", is the best introduction to reading Woolf. Flush is a puppy with a great background. His owner is Elizabeth Barrett (later Mrs. Browning), a legendary woman in the history of English literature. Flush and her went from being in conflict with each other to being inseparable, accompanying her through the years of lingering in bed, and then followed her to elope with Mr. Browning, from the cold and humid England to sunny Italy, and witnessed the happy married life of the two poets. In "Flouch", the author uses humorous writing methods to reproduce the romantic love of the poet couple that transcends time and space by writing a biography of the dog. At the same time, the author also uses a dog's perspective to reflect the social contradictions of the Victorian era and urbanites' yearning for nature and wildness. The author's unique feminist thoughts add an evocative depth to this sketch-like work. Attached is Woolf's famous essay "Remembering a Faithful Friend" in which she fondly recalls her beloved dog.

"The Waves" is Woolf's work at the peak of her creative power and was published in 1931. This poetic experimental work does not have a story in the strict sense, but is more like a musical work composed of nine movements: each introduction is an exquisite prose poem, using the ebb and flow of the sun and waves to correspond to the ups and downs of life; following each introduction are the momentary inner monologues of six highly formalized characters without surnames in their respective life stages - from childhood, studenthood, youth, middle age to old age. The introduction and the main text map each other, opening up an unprecedented and nuanced channel for the readers' senses, and getting closer to the essence of life, time, consciousness and feeling to the maximum extent. This is a work that occupies an important position in the palace of modern literature. To this day, it still stirs our souls with its exquisite text structure and poetic style.

"Monday or Tuesday: Eight Stories" is a collection of early short stories by the famous British female writer Virginia Woolf.

It's not right to say forgetting. Only by understanding the other person's behavior can you save your own wounded soul. --Decorating all kinds of things in visible places always feels messy. --It's great to drink in moderation and enjoy the aftertaste of being "slightly tipsy".

Surviving is by no means a simple matter. Many times it doesn't work out. For a whole day, without deliberately doing anything special, just because of the food, singing, dancing, silence, and talking and laughing, my heart will be filled to the top and extremely happy. Life is slowly managed along these small blessings. Take off the burden on your shoulders and see the scenery that you couldn't see if you were just trying to be brave. Living life as usual is the most powerful resistance to the cruel world.

[Best-selling author Ogawa Ito returns with heart-warming following "Camellia Stationery" and "Sands Day at the Lion House"] In spring, feel the warmth from the heart, stand under the blooming cherry blossoms, and be a serious flower viewer. On a hot summer day, the sun shines on the lake, putting peaches into the cool lake water. Thousands of light and shadows soothe people's hearts. In the season of falling leaves, make your favorite pastries with your own hands, stay in the kitchen all day, and enjoy a pleasant cooking time. The breath of winter is coming, brew a pot of hot tea, and use chestnuts in the middle of the night to eliminate all mediocrity and fatigue. The bits and pieces that are repeated, repeated, repeated, repeated constitute life itself. It is in this daily life that I write one story after another and listen to them fall to the ground.

In order to escape from the worries of the world, a painter left the city in early spring and went into the mountains, where he stayed temporarily in a hot spring house called Nagujing. In the middle of the night on the first day of his stay, the painter was awakened by a burst of singing. He stood up and looked around, and saw a woman vaguely appearing in the attic outside the house like a phantom, and then disappeared again. The next day, he got up early and took a bath, wondering whether what he saw and heard last night was a dream, but he saw the "phantom" walking towards him serving tea. It turns out that this graceful "phantom" is the daughter of the master of this family. She appears in front of the artist's eyes like a fairy in the painting, showing a hazy and mysterious beauty. Afterwards, the painter went to a nearby barbershop for a shave. The owner of the barbershop said that the hot spring master's daughter, a girl named Namei, was divorced and had a "crazy" temper, and asked him not to get too close. A young monk who came to the barber shop to have his head shaved retorted that Namei was a very wise adult. The beauty that everyone talks about, the beauty that seems absurd and simple in conversation, has become an otherworldly and "inhuman" existence in the artist's heart. The artist feels that every move she makes is like the person in the painting, and imagines that if he develops feelings for her, can this feeling be called "inhuman"?

"I Am a Cat" is a famous work by Japan's "national writer" Natsume Soseki, which has a profound influence on Japanese literature. The novel adopts humorous, satirical and comical techniques, and from the perspective of a cat, it describes the daily life of its owner Kushamana and his friends, as well as various phenomena in the human world as seen by the cat. This cat is self-righteous, witty, humorous and witty. The author used his words to ridicule the empty spiritual world of the intellectuals in Meiji society, and exposed the snobbish, vulgar, and ferocious nature of Kaneda and other bourgeoisie and their accomplices.

"On Literature" is a famous work by Natsume Soseki, a great modern Japanese writer and national writer. It is the author's lecture notes at the University of Tokyo. It is also the world's first work on literary principles written from the perspective of psychological aesthetics and reader acceptance. It has both textual characteristics and wide influence worldwide. "On Literature" can be said to be a collection of British literary criticism. Starting from social psychology and aesthetics, Natsume Soseki believed that the content of literature consists of "cognitive" elements such as concepts, reason, and impressions (Soseki used F) and emotional elements (Soseki used f), and created the literary formula F+f, thus unfolding his literary view. Many later Japanese writers and scholars spoke highly of "On Literature". They pointed out that such a self-contained tome on literature as "On Literature" was the only one in Europe at that time.

Natsume Soseki's unique and gorgeous work is a long masterpiece of haiku written in a series of beautiful words. It is a confrontation between modernity and classics, and the confrontation between glitz and simplicity. Blooming in silver, and fading in silver. This flower is poppy poppy. In Japan after the Meiji Restoration, amidst the tremendous social changes, the confrontation between tradition and modernity, morality and utilitarianism was extremely fierce. A group of young men and women each chose a different life: the poet Ono was born in poverty, and he was extremely vain and tried to completely change his life by marrying a rich girl; the philosophy graduate Kono was world-weary and pessimistic, and decided to leave the hypocritical family; the beautiful but arrogant rich girl Fujio hoped to get rid of her original engagement and find another good relationship... In the end, these young people met their unexpected but reasonable endings. In the last chapter of the novel, on the silver screen in the deceased Fujio's room, there is a poppy with verdigris stems and red and purple petals, which "blooms in silver and withers in silver", gorgeous but disillusioned. Natsume Soseki took this flower as his title and used it as a metaphor for people. People are "busy making trade-offs between this way of living and that way of living." They are satisfied with the comedy of existence full of frolic, noise, deception, contempt, and trampling, but ignore the great tragedy of life under the decline of morality.

This book collects Natsume Soseki's life in the UK or his works based on British literature and history, including "The Carlyle Museum", "Tower of London", "Phantom Shield" and "Xiaolu Xing". "Carlyle Museum": "It is this face that has been soaking in this bathtub that is about the same height as a radiator, lying on this simple bed for forty years, always complaining about the noise outside." Soseki's travel notes describing Soseki's visit to Thomas Carlyle's former residence. "Tower of London": "The Tower of London is like the focus of dreams in my previous life." This work is written based on Soseki's own experience of actually visiting the Tower of London and his unique vision of fantasy. It incorporates Soseki's views on Western painting. "Phantom Shield": "This is the world in the shield. However, William is the shield." This is a tragic love novel depicting the knights William and Clara in ancient times. William and Clara are like Romeo and Juliet. "The Dew Walk": It is a work with strong British literature. The story is based on the legend of King Arthur and describes the secret love between the legendary Knight of the Round Table Lancelot and Princess Guinevere. The name is quoted from the unknown poet's work "Song of Dew" in the ancient Yuefu ballads of the Han Dynasty in China.

Sanshirō, a young man who went to university in Tokyo from a small place, had three worlds in front of him. The first world is hometown, an old world that although people feel familiar with, no one wants to go back to. In the second world, there are libraries, dim laboratories, and a stable but monotonous campus world. The third world is like a bright spring, with electric lights, silver spoons, bubbly champagne, and outstandingly beautiful women, so close yet seemingly out of reach. A classic that spans a century, it vividly portrays the ignorance and confusion of young people in a small town when they face the dazzling modern city for the first time. A hometown that cannot be returned to, a city that cannot be integrated into, every young man is a lost lamb.

This book is Balzac's classic masterpiece, translated by Fu Lei. Honorine was first serialized in La Stampa from March 17 to 29, 1843. In 1844, a single volume was published by Botai Bookstore, divided into forty chapters, each chapter has a title. In the same year, it was compiled into the fourth volume of Finer's edition of The Human Comedy. In the work, the author not only raised issues of family, marriage, and love, but also raised issues of morality, law, and religion. Honorina is dissatisfied with her subordinate status in the family and pursues independence, freedom and exciting love. She abandoned her property and husband and ran away with her lover, only to be abandoned because she lost her property. She expected to earn her own living, but after seven years of struggle, she still had to return to her husband under the pressure of society, law, and religious concepts, and finally died of physical and mental exhaustion. Honorina is a person who intentionally stays away from the money society, and her escape is also a story of encounter. Even among all Balzac's characters, Honorine shines brightest. Balzac wrote about the various behaviors of all living beings in the money society and the stories of various people's encounters with money in this era.

Haori and Liren left their "home" one after another to explore the world, but "I" still stubbornly fantasized about continuing to stay in this warm nest... "Carefree Angel": "I" faced an old man, and talked about a man who was wandering in the present. A story between reality and fiction: My mother is seriously ill and hospitalized. "I", my sister and my father fill the emptiness in their hearts with ever-expanding material desires. Life seems to be no longer under their control... "Public Bathroom": "I" is out of tune with the world and refuses to open up to the world. One day, I am cured by a little girl I meet by chance in a public bathroom...

The Nobel Prize winner's work is Pamuk's first attempt to "write a shorter novel", although the story has been brewing for thirty years - it began in the summer of 1988, when Pamuk met a pair of well-diggers near his residence who were affectionate as father and son. The process of digging a well to get water is also a journey of digging all the way into the dark depths of memory. Jem, a young man who lost his father and became an apprentice to dig wells, gradually became a businessman with no worries about food and clothing over the years. Underneath his peaceful middle-aged life, there is an unknown past buried. Until one day, the past he tried to forget finally swallowed him up. What kind of father do we need? One who tolerates everything we do, or one who teaches us obedience? Perhaps, after trying all the freedoms, we just want to find a meaning, a center, a person who can say "no" to ourselves. Sixteen-year-old high school student Jim came to the small town of Engeran on the outskirts of Istanbul during the summer vacation and dug a well with the well-digger Mahmoud. Because water could not be found for a long time, the work became extremely boring. However, Master Mahmoud and Jim gradually became as close as a father and son. Just this summer, a red-haired woman briefly appeared in Jem's life. Because of an accident, Jem fled the town in panic. For the next thirty years, he continued to read and search for two ancient legends. He discovered that these ancient stories still mysteriously guided his destiny. Thirty years later, Jem has become the owner of a construction company and leads a prosperous and peaceful middle-aged life. He returns to Engren and discovers everything he had tried to forget...

Another masterpiece by John Williams, author of "Stoner". The difference from "Stoner" is that he wants to understand the reality of the world. They are both a story about perseverance in the face of meaninglessness, about failure caused by naivety. Unlike Stoner, who sticks to his faith, this is a young man who is passionate and curious about the unknown, eager to seek the real world: what he believes in is not the belief of Emerson and Thoreau, but the seeing behind it - except for wilderness and experience, nothing is more sincere and charming than the inner impulse. At the same time, he is the same as Stoner in a sense, they have achieved self-realization. Perhaps, each of us has this kind of impulse and passion, which has made us who we are today. A deep meditation on the young mind. The author John Williams said that when a young man who dropped out of Harvard came to the West and saw nature and the true appearance of the wilderness, what would happen to him? This is where the novel begins. "Butcher's Crossing" tells the story of Andrews, a young man who dropped out of Harvard in 1873. Influenced by the natural concepts of Emerson and Thoreau, he came to Butcher's Crossing with the urge to find beauty, hope and vitality, and followed the hunter Miller and two others (Schneider the skinner and Charlie Hogg, who worked with the camp) into the Colorado mountains to hunt bison. Each of them embarked on this uncertain journey with different purposes and ideas. They experienced many difficulties and even lost one person's life. They returned to Butcher's Crossing Town, but earth-shaking changes had taken place here...

The writer's innovation in the short story genre was also completed at the same time: the counterpoint melody and "Gemini" structure allow the different fates of one character, or the fate of two unrelated characters, to be contained in one short story at the same time, thus forming a mysterious metaphor for history and prompting readers to feel and reflect more deeply on Russia's harsh fate in the 20th century.

The Pingyuan trilogy "Sheep's Gate", "City's Lamp" and "Book of Life" uses the intersection of history and reality as the basic structural framework. It describes Hu Tiancheng, secretary of the rural party branch. During his nearly 40 years in office, he used various "connections" to manage the "human field" and built a huge network of relationships from the township to the county, and from the provincial capital to the capital. The book "Lights of the City" constructs a unique "sieged city" world: there is "glorious light" in the city, which is pleasant and clean; outside the city, there is a huge black hole that is constantly being swallowed by darkness. In the abyss of desire, sin is rampant. In the throes of entanglement and biting inside and outside the city. "Book of Life" not only describes the living conditions of villagers who catered to, refused, or drifted away during the political movements in the second half of the twentieth century, but also describes how villagers "escaped" from the countryside and persisted and lost in the face of the temptation of materialistic cities.

Four cheetahs, a goat of unknown origin, a donkey, and a turtle are stuffed in the animal storage station. The parked airport stages a ridiculous comedy that makes people laugh and cry.

This book is a collection of short stories published by the famous contemporary Japanese writer Ogawa Yoko in 1998. Although it is the author's early work, the author's characteristics - a world setting full of fantasy, a plot intertwined with reality and fiction, and a delicate and restrained psychological description - have matured in this work. The book consists of eleven short stories, with the themes of "death" and "mourning", and the stage background is set in a fictional town with a clock tower. The stories are independent of each other, but they are also implicitly connected and scattered with foreshadowing, vaguely forming a circular structure that echoes from beginning to end. Some characters appear interspersed in each chapter. For example, the passerby in the first chapter is the protagonist of the second chapter, and the second chapter has details related to the third chapter... Weird interweaving, evil collision, and the fate of desperate people are gathered in a poignant web woven by ominousness and darkness.

"Hell Change" contains a total of seventeen short stories and short stories by the Japanese literary giant Akutagawa Ryunosuke. Among them, "Hell Change" and "The Nose" are representative, starting from a unique narrative perspective and narrative structure, they grimly observed the Japanese social psychology of that time where "others are hell". This abnormal individual psychology gradually evolved into a habitual social psychology, which is thought-provoking. In addition, works represented by "Hell Transformation" express the life tragedy of a lonely person who is "art for art's sake". To achieve the ideal of "art supremacy" through self-destruction, behind this heavy price is the painful roar of a lonely soul. All in all, Akutagawa's novels are rich in subject matter and diverse in form. They are good at looking at the past and the present. They are especially good at deconstructing stories and lashing out at human nature from the perspective of Zen philosophy. It is truly a masterpiece, profound and grim.
