This book contains eight novels: "The Blue Bottom of the Well", "Characters", "Fireflies", "Sweet Wine", "Stewed Raw Knock", "Five-legged Black Whirlwind", "Hidden Garden" and "Meter Reading". Su Tong's story about Wang Xiaofeng's "Under the Eaves of Suzhou" is somewhat damp. True and false legends of Suzhou, stories of gods and ghosts are intertwined and jumped on the paper through Wang Xiaofeng's unique interspersed narrative, leaving you confused and confused about where you are, let alone whether this is a real or illusory city. The moisture in the novel may seem chilling to the heart, but after reading it, it warms the heart. This is his dream, his Suzhou, his exploration and expression. The roughness in the exquisiteness, the stubbornness in the peace, the flaws in the perfection, people and scenery are all complexes of contradictions, and this contradiction always runs through the works.

Nalan Rongruo's words included in this book are a true portrayal of his life's emotions. The original text, notes, commentaries and other columns attached to the book comprehensively display the theme of the lyrics, the creative background, the poet's situation, and the artistic conception and emotion of the lyrics from multiple perspectives. At the same time, through the organic combination of various visual elements, the portraits, landscapes and scenes that match the emotion and context of the words achieve the artistic realm of "paintings within words, words within paintings". Opening this book gently, through the nearly 200 beautiful, clear and touching Xiaoling and long tunes, one seems to be able to see that person with peerless talent, outstanding appearance, and noble character standing there, exuding an independent, romantic and miserable atmosphere, extremely gorgeous, extremely sentimental, extremely deep, and extremely lonely. A talented man who died early because he wanted to serve the country, and a passionate man who fell into the vortex of love and struggled, are all buried in this book "My Favorite Nalan Ci".

"Poems of a Thousand Families" is a collection of enlightening poems in ancient my country. The poems recorded in this book were written by a very wide range of authors, from emperors and generals to monks, shepherd boys, and anonymous people. Regardless of their family status or fame, the quality of their works only depends on their quality. From the content point of view, most of them are easy to understand, smooth and natural, catchy, easy to read and remember. Since its publication, "Poems of a Thousand Families" has been widely circulated, had a great influence, and benefited many people. It is also known as the "Two Treasures" of the Poetry Garden together with "Three Hundred Tang Poems" selected by Hengtang retired scholars in the Qing Dynasty.

Nalan Ci is the work of Nalan Xingde, one of the most famous poets in the Qing Dynasty. Nalan Xingde (1655-1685), whose original name was Chengde, also named Rongruo, was a native of Lengya Mountain and a native of Zhenghuang Banner in Manchuria. The son of the great scholar Pearl. Kangxi Jinshi, first-class bodyguard. His poetry not only enjoys a high reputation in the poetry world of the Qing Dynasty, but also occupies a dazzling place in the entire history of Chinese literature as "Nalan Ci" in the poetry world. He lived in a period when the Manchu and Han Dynasties merged; the rise and fall of his aristocratic family was typically related to the state affairs of the dynasty; and the fact that he served the emperor but yearned for ordinary experiences constituted a special environment and background. Coupled with his personal extraordinary talent, his poetry creation presents unique personality characteristics and distinctive artistic style.

The characteristic of Jin Shengtan's anthology lies not only in the selection, but also in the evaluation, paying more attention to comments and appreciation. Jin Shengtan selected nearly 600 seven-character verses from the early Tang Dynasty to the Five Dynasties for detailed commentary, focusing on trying to figure out the various layouts, inheritance, and transition patterns of the seven-character verses in the Tang Dynasty. He either made insights or borrowed topics, which is of great reference value for appreciating and studying Tang poetry. Jin Shengtan pioneered the "seven-law decomposition method" to comment on Tang poetry. He divided Tang poetry into "pre-interpretation" and "post-interpretation", and analyzed the ups and downs hidden behind the poems, "which may enable future generations to see not only the words of Tang poetry, but also the poetry of Tang poetry." "The Biography of Seven Hundred Famous People in the Qing Dynasty: The Biography of Jin Renrui" says of him: "His criticisms are as bright as fire and as pungent as those of an old official. His writings dance with his sentences, and those who see him sigh for a moment that he is the reincarnation of a spirit ghost."

"Zhuyu Ci" is a work handed down from generation to generation by Yan Shu, the "prime minister poet" in the Northern Song Dynasty.

Although the content was monotonous, the style of his poems was graceful and graceful, which had a certain influence on the poetry world in the early Song Dynasty. In "Zhuyu Ci", there are 131 graceful poems, carefully annotated to ensure barrier-free reading, and more than 90 beautiful pictures, which increase the artistic conception of appreciation.

A "Literary Lecture Notes" written in Chinese; a work handout adhering to the legacy of Mu Xin's "Literary Memoirs"; and a rich intensive reading course on Western literature. What kind of "grass snake gray line" is hidden in the classics three hundred years ago? How should we find the key to open the monument of literature? Follow this book to become the "best reader" of Western literature. The debate between Chernyshevsky and Dostoevsky between utopia and dystopia is not far behind. Modernization in the global sense has arrived in China, and with it the bourgeois aesthetic. People desire, get lost, and fall in the consumer society, just like what was described in Flaubert's novels. Nietzsche, who refused to enter the 20th century, once predicted the disease of the times. The masses blindly follow entertainment and the elite blindly follow science. The two "crazy racing cars" are bound to carry mankind towards despair... "Madame Bovary", "Notes from the Underground" and "The Birth of Tragedy"... The "great minds" of the 19th century contain the most profound concern for us in the 21st century. This book combines literary criticism with prose chapters, and reproduces the historical context of European modernization through the reading of 19th-century European literature, in order to enter into a polyphonic reflection on "modernity". The "Enlightenment Chapter" takes the occurrence and evolution of the Enlightenment as a clue, eliciting counterpoints to the modern system and postmodern strategies; the "France Chapter" and the "Russian Chapter" contrast each other, presenting two responses to the modern system in developed and underdeveloped societies. "Nietzsche" is a reflection and response to the modern system from the overall pattern of Western intellectual history.

This set of books includes "Agnes Grey, Volume 3" and "The Tenant of Wildfield Manor, Volume 6", a total of 9 volumes. Agnes Gray is the debut novel of English author Anne Bront & euml; (writing under the pen name of Acton Bell), first published in December 1847, and republished in a second edition in 1850. The novel follows Agnes Grey, a governess, as she works within families of the English gentry. Scholarship and comments by Anne's sister Charlotte Bront & euml; suggest the novel is largely based on Anne Bront & euml; euml's own experiences as a governess for five years. Agnes, her sister Mary, and their mother all try to keep expenses low and bring in extra money, but Agnes is frustrated that treats her like a child. To prove herself and to earn money, she is determined to get a position as a governess. Eventually, she obtains a recommendation from a well-placed acquaintance, is offered a position, and secures her parents'permission. With some misgivings, she travels to Wellwood house to work for the Bloomfield family. The choice of central character allows Anne to deal with issues of oppression and abuse of women and governesses, isolation and ideas of empathy. An additional theme is the fair treatment of animals. Agnes Gray also mimics some of the stylistic approaches of bildungsromans, employing ideas of personal growth and coming to age, but representing a character who in fact does not gain in virtue.

Chandler can be described as the master of American "hard-boiled" detective novels. Just as the young United States took over the scepter of hegemony from the aging British Empire, Chandler's tall, handsome, rebellious and tender private detective Marlowe also officially replaced Sherlock Holmes and became the most popular detective image in novels and even on the screen. To this day, the tough guys who appear in various Hollywood blockbusters are more or less Marlowe's descendants. In the five essays and many long letters included in this book, Chandler puts aside his familiar gangster slang and street slang for the time being, and uses rational and objective writing and extremely rigorous logic to present his "tough guy" concept clearly and transparently to readers. No one's argument is more convincing than Chandler's. While showing off his demeanor as an orator, Chandler still never forgets to use his signature dry humor to remind us that he is indeed the creator of Marlowe.

In this book, the author tells the story of how, as Prime Minister, First Chancellor of the Exchequer, Defense Minister and Leader of the House of Commons in the early days of World War II, when Germany launched a fatal attack on Britain, in the absence of external assistance, he led the British people to fight bravely and jointly passed through the most difficult period of the war. During this period, although the British people were isolated and helpless, they always held on to the fortress and tenaciously resisted the air attacks of German aircraft day and night. The situation in North Africa is even less optimistic, and the Italians are taking the opportunity to continue to encroach on North African countries.

1915 was the second phase of the First World War. France and Britain launched the Battle of Champagne, the Battle of Artois, the Battle of Ypres, and the Battle of Los Loos. In the face of new weapons - machine guns and powerful artillery - the dominant traditional military thinking - frontal attack, charge and fight, and repel the enemy's defense line - became ineffective. The Western Front achieved nothing except a life-consuming battle, and the war reached a stalemate. The British invented tanks and used smoke screens, making only limited progress. The British Navy had control of the sea, but its commander was conservative in thinking and ineffective in naval warfare, so no positive results were achieved. In this volume, Churchill made the strategic decision to attack the Dardanelles, which had a decisive impact on the combination of international forces and the entire war. However, due to the lack of understanding and weak support from most military leaders, the war opportunities were repeatedly delayed, and good opportunities to secure victory were missed more than ten times, and finally ended in failure. The Allies were in crisis.

Churchill begins by analyzing the causes of the war and details the development of the war on each front (Eastern Front, Western Front, and Southern Front) until the signing of the post-war "Versailles Peace Treaty" to achieve temporary peace, showing readers a panoramic view of this European war. The Second World War was a global military conflict that broke out from 1939 to 1945.

John Toland, editor of "The Long Battle: A Revised Edition of the Korean War through American Eyes". Why did the Korean War happen? The Korean War, which the United States failed to win for the first time, left a bitter political legacy for the United States. It also accelerated the pace of rearmament in Europe, greatly increased military budgets, and set a dangerous precedent for the U. S. President to direct an undeclared war without constitutional approval during police operations. This book attempts to provide insights into many controversial issues. Was Truman correct in believing that the Soviet Union and the Chinese Communist Party conspired to orchestrate the war? Are historians' recent assertions that the United States instigated and encouraged the South Korean puppets to launch this war consistent with the facts? Was Truman justified in insisting on voluntary repatriation of prisoners of war? Is it true that the Chinese Communist Party has been claiming that the United States has engaged in biological warfare? Were captured American pilots brainwashed into admitting they dropped germ bombs? *In the end, was this battle worth fighting?

This book combs the timeline from the Allied landings in Sicily to the final capture of Rome, depicts the magnificent Italian campaign, and tells countless heroic stories of "dying for freedom." Although the decision to attack Italy was highly controversial, once the operation began, the Allied forces' determination to liberate Italy never wavered: the rallying horns accompanied by the rushing waves sent the assault boats to the golden coast of Sicily, the roaring steel chariot tracks rolled over the solid defense lines of the Salerno plain, and the roaring fighter planes dropped overwhelming and rain-like bombs at the Port of Taranto... In Atkinson's writing, a picture of majestic and tragic combination slowly unfolds. The overwhelmed Eisenhower, the fearless but conceited Mark Clark, the genius Patton, the paranoid and ruthless Churchill, the strategizing Cunningham, the embattled Mussolini... From generals to soldiers, from politicians to civilians, the trajectories of countless lives converged and burned in this period of history.

It was on the Italian battlefield that the American military transformed from a novice into a powerful force that dominated the situation in World War II.
