"Jerusalem" is a classic novel adapted from real events by Selma Lagerlöf, the first female writer to win the Nobel Prize for Literature and Swedish national treasure novel master. It was sold well in Europe a hundred years ago and lit up a spiritual light for the Swedes who had left their hometown. This is a story about the ultimate choice in life. At the end of the 19th century, the world was undergoing turbulent times, and Swedish rural areas could not stay out of it. New trends of thought from abroad quietly penetrated this land. People became confused. It seems that my hometown is no longer a peaceful and pure land. Some people claim that the Holy Land Jerusalem is the final destination. When the choice of fate comes, everyone stands at a fork in the road: stick to your hometown for the sake of reality, or believe in your ideals and go to the distant place?

Golding, the winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature, is another masterpiece that explores the darkness of human nature after "Lord of the Flies". The subject matter of the novel focuses on primitive humans, using the perspective of prehistoric Neanderthals to witness the conflict between Neanderthals and Homo sapiens - a profound reflection on the inheritance of human civilization. Nobel Prize winner William Golding considers his most successful work to be even more profound in theme than "Lord of the Flies". The novel tells the story of the arrival of spring, when a small group of primitive Neanderthals returned to their familiar habitat as in previous years. But this year, strange things happened - mysterious sounds and smells, unexplainable acts of violence, and looming, unimaginable creatures hiding behind the leaves. These Neanderthals, their life or death was uncertain, their world hung in the balance. Through their eyes, the story explores the emergence of a new race - ourselves, Homo sapiens - and the catastrophe it brings to ancient races as its dominance continues to strengthen. At the end of the novel, Homo sapiens snatched away a Neanderthal baby, leaving a glimmer of hope that Neanderthals and Homo sapiens once thrived together. The great thing about "The Heirs" is that Golding created a language to express Neanderthals, leading readers to see everything from a Neanderthal perspective, enter the interior of a life, and experience its various senses. At the same time, Golding uses plain, cold and simple language to describe the most solemn cruelty and pain in the world. The progress of human civilization has to pay such a cruel, bloody and moral degradation price.

Mrs. Curran, who lives alone in South Africa, was diagnosed with cancer and her life began to countdown.

This book includes sixteen independent short stories. These stories do not have complicated and bizarre plots, nor the climaxes of traditional novels, but only fragments of life and inner monologues interspersed in these fragments. In "Death in the Forest" and "Death of a Brother", which have a heavy color of death, death is no longer the end of life, but a retrospective of the starting point of life; in "She Was There - She Was Taking a Bath" and "Mountain Dweller", people who are squeezed by the living environment and have no chance to breathe can finally see their fate clearly and realize the true meaning of life. The author Sherwood Anderson is one of the first American writers to express the subconscious. To a certain extent, he is a psychological novelist.

This book is a collection of outstanding novellas by young writer Lu Kui in recent years. It includes eight works such as "Mota", "The Dinner", and "Never Come Back from Nine to Evening". In these stories, the images of "beautiful losers" emerge vividly on the page - middle-aged successful men who have been immersed in society for many years try to find the beauty of their youth, but find that they have changed their lives; young women who strive to settle in big cities are repeatedly hurt by this sophisticated society; college graduates who are about to graduate Schoolboys are eager to integrate into the city's feasting and entertainment, but find that they are only used as tools... Lu Kui's novels are mostly records of youth, but this youth has been cut into fragmented memory fragments under the rapid changes in society, the differentiation of values, and everyone's own thoughts and pursuits. Most of the characters in his works are aphasic people of the times, trying hard to warm others and searching in vain for an exit. Lu Kui uses a compassionate heart and a feeling of helping the world to tell the stories of these little people in warm, clean and restrained language, which can reveal the contradictory hearts and true desire for life of a generation of young people.

"Sleeping Beauty" is a stunning masterpiece by Nobel Prize-winning writer Kawabata Yasunari, which shows Kawabata Yasunari's unique and weird spiritual world. "An old man Eguchi who was nearly seventy years old went to a secret inn to spend the night, while the young beauty here took medicine and fell into a coma without knowing anything..." The old man Eguchi in Kawabata Yasunari's works reveals a sense of terror of approaching death, a sense of sadness for the loss of youth, and at the same time mixed with a sense of regret for his own immoral behavior. This theme of indulgence, temptation and atonement is expressed in a surreal and grotesque way. The description of the old man's treatment of Sleeping Beauty is not rough, but quietly bursts out the original desire and strength of life. It can be said that this is the main theme of life and also the variations of life.

The 120th anniversary commemorative edition of Hemingway's birth; the continuation and deepening of "Death in the Afternoon"; an excellent book that deeply understands Hemingway's philosophy of life and ultimate pursuit, and feels Hemingway's unique charm up close; it contains many precious historical images and vividly reproduces the art of bullfighting written by Hemingway. Bullfighting was Hemingway's lifelong passion, and Spain was his passionate country. In 1959, he went to Spain again.

Therefore, after nearly thirty years, he had this second "bullfighting book" "Dangerous Summer" after "Death in the Afternoon". This is a book about life and death written by an energetic man in his sixties. This man had reason to worry that he had only a few years left to live, so he returned to Spain, where he had lived in his passionate youth, and reexperienced the art of bullfighting that can give people a "sense of immortality." Finally, he left us a record of understanding life and understanding life and death.

"Call of the Wild" tells the story of a good dog's gradual return to wildness and the wilderness. This process is full of the intertwining and wrestling between wildness and human nature, and in the end the wildness takes over. The author uses this to profoundly reflect the jungle law of "the weak eats the strong". "White Fang" forms a meaningful contrast with "The Call of the Wild". It details the "mental journey" of a wild little gray wolf who goes through hardships and finally reaches the recognition of human nature. While revealing the power of wild nature and the cruel laws of survival, the author ultimately affirms and praises the power of human nature.

He was spotted by the emperor and became the minister of modernization without hesitation, becoming the standard-bearer of "progress". This pair of Don Quixote and Sancho, who are confused in time and space, staged a ridiculous play that is both ironic and ridiculous. The novel is full of hilarious plots and characters, which are both humorous and vivid. On the other hand, humor is closely followed by irony and tragedy. The characters in the novel are not treated as cartoons. They live in a wild world without having to bear any consequences for their actions. Fate is cruel, and the author's humor does nothing to hide it. As a result, readers can't help but feel their scalp numb while laughing, and this is where the black humor of "Black Mischief" lies. At the same time, for today's readers who are accustomed to romanticizing the customs and customs of all backward areas, this work written in the first half of the twentieth century can be regarded as an excellent antidote: wilderness does not mean simplicity, and ignorance does not mean innocence.

Winning the Gemstrega Literary Prize in Italy is an outstanding display of the literary achievements of Primo Levi, a witness and recorder of Auschwitz. In this book, he returns to the theme of daily life and interprets another ideal life. In this witty novel, Levy focuses on the life experiences of ordinary people. The introverted narrator, Libertino Fosso, a muscular and experienced assembler - a writer and chemist - shares a fascinating series of life stories about a man who loves his job, enjoys his labor, uses his profession as an adventure, and gains freedom from the ordinary. These stories connect one moment after another that is usually ignored, making people sometimes smile and sometimes feel sad, reflecting on the wisdom and limitations of human beings, as well as the greatness and insignificance of life. The "Levi Works" series also includes "The Drowned and the Saved", "The Trades of Others", "This Is Auschwitz: Evidence 1945-1986", "The Uncertain Moment: Selected Poems of Levi", "The Truce" and "If Not Now, When?"

"Just like every madman thinks he is God, each of us thinks he is mortal." The prison version of "The Truman Show" is a Kafkaesque absurd story in which innocent people become the protagonists of farce, trapped in the prison of time, waiting for their belated death. "Invitation to the Beheading" is the masterpiece of Nabokov's novels, which is recognized as the master of novels in the 20th century. It is like a prison version of "The Truman Show". The protagonist Cincinnatus was sentenced to death. While waiting in prison for the execution date to be finalized, he endured the pain of impending death while involuntarily becoming the protagonist of a farce. The warden, fellow prisoners, guards, executioners, relatives, and lovers all seem real but false. The cell, the fortress, and the execution square are actually props for the performance. Death is delayed, and if there is any hope, it seems that there is no hope. The bizarre and comical scenes in the novel are dizzying. It shows the illusion of an irrational world, but behind the absurdity lies a spine-chilling dark daily routine.

The novel "Sha Ning" begins when the protagonist Shan Ning returns to his hometown and ends when he leaves by train. It writes about what he did during that time in his hometown. Shan Ning left home when he was young, and his character was developed outside the family. He was as free as "a tree in the wilderness." He has an indifferent attitude towards everything and hates almost everyone around him. He spent the night with the farmer's granddaughter, and took possession of the beautiful female teacher Karlsavina on a boat on the river on a moonlit night. He even had impulses for his sister Lida; he beat the officer Zarudin and shattered the fantasy of the Jewish young Solovychik, which directly led to the relationship between these two people. He committed suicide; he hated almost everyone around him, even his own relatives, and was always indifferent to the death of acquaintances, thinking that there was another fool missing in the world; he was tall, strong, smart and flexible, and could do whatever he wanted. At the same time, he was lonely, bored, and wandering. This image appeared in an era when Russian intellectuals generally felt lost and depressed, and was therefore regarded as a symbol of the overall "degeneration" of the Russian cultural elite.

He has a doctorate in law from Harvard University, but he just wants to be a firefighter; he can become the president of the United States by using his brain, but he has to answer calls from the poor in his office in a remote village; he has everything a person wants to have, but life says to him "Give, give, give it all to you," but he replies "No, no, I don't want it." In this society where only rich people have dignity, he spent all his money and embarked on a road of betrayal and separation, just to solve a problem: how to love those who are of no use? His absurd words are actually the voice of the endangered conscience in this money-oriented society, which is saying: "Damn it, you have to be a good person."

A global phenomenon-level bestseller, a cautionary fable that has sparked heated discussions at home and abroad. "Every word in this book has truly happened." The female version of "1984" has the highest demand for the Nobel Prize; the American drama of the same name defeated "Game of Thrones" and won 5 Emmy Awards. It has been announced that it has been renewed for a fourth season. The sequel to the novel "Testimony" won the 2019 Booker Prize. It is the most influential dystopian novel masterpiece by "Queen of Canadian Literature" Margaret Atwood. Offred is a handmaid in the Republic of Gilead. She was one of the few fertile women in the country and was assigned to the families of commanders who had no offspring to help them give birth to children. Like other women in this country, she had no freedom of movement and was deprived of property, the right to work, and the right to read. Except for some special days, the maids are only allowed to go shopping together once a day, and their every move is monitored by "eyes". What's worse is that in this crazy world, humans not only have to face problems such as ecological deterioration and economic crisis, but also fall into a chaotic situation of mutual hostility, class differentiation, and wanton killing. Women are not the only victims of oppression in this catastrophe. Everyone is a victim in this seemingly absurd world.

The mature works of Nobel Prize winner Camus. This book includes the novel "The Plague" and the play "Martial Law", which is also about the plague. The reason why these two Camus works are collected into a volume is because they both belong to the "Resistance Series" and because the themes are related to the plague. "The Plague" uses a chronological structure to narrate the beginning and end of the plague in Oran City. Camus used precise writing to describe the subtle changes in human mentality when facing a catastrophic disaster. At the same time, he portrayed the rescue team headed by Dr. Rieux. They are all ordinary little people, but in the most simple moral spirit, they help each other and help others. "Martial Law" is Camus's important exploration in drama. If there was a real epidemic in "The Plague", then in "Martial Law", the plague turned into the god of death, and this disease contained more meanings.

About youth, about the sexual revolution, about life, "To love or not to love is your freedom, and pain and numbness are my footnotes." This is the best work of the talented British novelist Martin Amis in the past twenty years. This book describes the summer of 1970, when Keith, a 20-year-old nerd, a literature college student, and his friends were on vacation in a castle in Italy. At this time, when the sexual revolution was raging and in full swing, at this unprecedented historical moment, sex filled everyone's mind. Girls behaved like boys, and boys behaved like themselves. Keith dealt with three women, and his friends were also caught up in it. In the mud of chaos, everyone was intoxicated, with their true nature revealed but unresolved, and in unbearable pain. However, they soon discovered a very disturbing fact, that is, in the changes of social order, there will always be a threshold of purification, and this is the "pregnant widow" once described by the great Russian thinker Alexander Herzen - a long night of chaos and loneliness between the death of one and the birth of another. At this moment, Keith is struggling and being baptized... "The Pregnant Widow" is considered "Amis's best work in the past twenty years" because it evokes the not-innocent youth and the sting of the sexual revolution. This atypical "romantic comedy" is also a burning echo of the British sexual revolution and feminist movement in the Italian countryside.

When people who crave meaning suddenly face a meaningless world, they first show two mentalities. Resigned to meaninglessness: decadence. Impassioned resistance to futility: tragic. There is also a third state of mind: boredom. In the 19th century, the Russian aristocratic elite intellectuals had manors and serfs at home. They lived a comfortable life and were well educated. Under the high-pressure rule, social consciousness was first enlightened. They were full of enthusiasm, dissatisfied with reality, and eager to make a difference. However, they repeatedly encountered obstacles and were unable to change the class status quo, and became painful, depressed, cynical, and contemptuous of all moral norms in life. This boredom of unwillingness to accept and resist is reflected in Russian literature, which is the emergence of a series of "superfluous people" images. Always looking for meaning, but never getting it. They are not heinous and evil people, they are even honest and upright people. Any efforts you make will bring harm to others. In the end, his soul was gradually corroded by this unfathomable loss, and he became even more zombie-like. But this mentality of hating life and admiring death seems to be very close to the current "little mourning". There are such "superfluous people" in every era. Because they can't find the meaning of life, they feel that they are excluded by the era and are a dispensable person. Following Pushkin's Onegin and Lermontov's Pycholin, they are an unavoidable image of a "superfluous man" that condenses the spirit of an entire era in Russia. Lermontov's "The Superfluous Man" is the beginning of Russian social psychological novels. It is a travelogue, a diary, a love adventure and a confession.
