Honesty, which is often referred to in the world, seems to him to be all pretense, and at best it is used to gain a good reputation through honesty.

Unfortunately, Meng Qiaoyi, who inherited the family property, immediately became a hopeless gambler.

A classic among classics of World War II novels, a masterpiece that removes the last fig leaf of war, the Iron Curtain, and human nature. The Naked and the Dead is considered to be the greatest of all novels about World War II (and some even think of all novels about war). Mailer was only 25 years old when he wrote this work, making him one of the most classic American writers of the 20th century. The novel is set on Anopope Island, a fictional tropical island in the South Pacific during World War II. It tells a panoramic story of how the U. S. Military, under General Cummings's strategic planning, broke through the Japanese defense lines and completely captured the island. The novel focuses on describing how a group of soldiers from the reconnaissance platoon, who came from grass-roots backgrounds and were almost social outcasts, succumbed to the iron curtain of the army. When they were ordered to complete a reconnaissance mission behind enemy lines that was difficult and dangerous, with little hope, the most instinctive and naked side of human nature was exposed. The novel also creates an opposing camp represented by two middle-class officers, Major General Cummings and Second Lieutenant Horn, and explains the laws and nature of war and the development of human society. The work also uses a special narrative technique to give a biographical appearance to each character in the book, thus forming a wonderful and real microcosm of American society, making this work beyond the scope of ordinary war novels. The work uses a Tolstoyan-style sympathetic approach without losing its seriousness. Through this group of losers on the battlefield of life who won the battle to attack the island, the work ponders whether the morbid and degenerate society has reached the point of despair? Can power theorists manipulate the course of historical development at will?
