Describe the mental journey of the pursuer of life. We no longer have a protagonist striving towards a vague ideal, but only a central idea trying to express and realize the ideal. Through the fascinating techniques of the popular "Covenant novels" in the eighteenth century, Hesse's own protagonist H. H.'S symbolic journey for the Covenant - a "Kafkaesque" experience through time and space, finally effectively defines the eternal spiritual realm he pursues - the "Third Kingdom". The book that begins as a symbolic autobiography ends with the sanctification of art. Hesse has reached the ideal state of beauty here.

"The Wandering Soul" consists of three consecutive novels: "Early Spring", "Remembering Knulp" and "The End". It is Hesse's famous "tramp style" novel. The protagonist Knulp is a amiable wanderer who wanders between towns, staying in friends' homes and eating the food given by his friends. Knulp never wanted to be beholden to any industry, place or person, and even abandoned his hiking companion, who was probably Hermann Hesse himself. Knulp's exile was blissful and self-absorbed. However, what lies behind "The Wandering Soul" is the conscience of an artist. In the eyes of this artist, his own liberation is worthless, and even has no morality at all.

The three biographies all focus on recording the great genius on his troubled and troubled journey in life. A story about a man who dedicated his life to seeking truth and justice and creating immortal masterpieces that can express truth, goodness and beauty. They may be suffering from illness, be in a miserable situation, or be experiencing inner confusion and contradiction, or all three may be combined together.

"Only Love Strangers" is a highly skilled short novel, a masterpiece of the "Horrible Ian" period. It focuses on exploring the infinite possibilities of human desire and tells a story about how a pursuer of beauty destroys the object of beauty to death in order to satisfy his own desires. A pair of lovers who are inseparable but seem to be inseparable are on vacation. From the first day they entered this bustling but weird tourist city, they have been followed and secretly photographed. The eyes in the dark follow each other like a shadow, tempting the lovers to seek fresh excitement and solace from so-called strangers, and ultimately make them devote themselves wholeheartedly to a trap of lust and death that is deliberately set for them. The novel contains countless metaphors, is highly intertextual with many classic texts, and is full of meaningful quotations or parodies of Thomas Mann's "Death in Venice" and E. M. Forster's "A Room with a View." It is known as one of McEwan's two "mini-masterpieces."

"Everything must have both an entrance and an exit. There is no other choice." The second part of Haruki Murakami's "Youth Trilogy" is the beginning of Haruki Murakami's creative consciousness. Talk to the pinball machine and find the exit of your soul. In 1973, along with memories of college life and the passing of his college girlfriend Naoko, "I" graduated from college and made a living as an English translator. I met a pair of twin girls by chance, and then we went together to find a "pinball machine" in the bar where Rat and I often went three years ago. Finally, we found the legendary pinball machine stored there with dozens of other pinball machines in an old chicken farm warehouse. After being lost and found, he just left indifferently. Then "I" and the twin girls separated and returned to their own loneliness. At the same time, Rat, who dropped out of college three years ago and has lost his sense of reality, hangs out between the bar of the Japanese-Chinese hero and the apartment of his girlfriend who works in an architect's office. After some psychological struggle, he finally decided to leave his close friend Jie and his beloved girlfriend, pack his bags and stay away from his hometown. The major Chinese publishers of Haruki Murakami's works and translator Lin Shaohua have joined hands to present a new revised edition of Haruki Murakami's long-running series. In terms of design, we cooperated with the internationally renowned illustrator NomaBar. The three colors of black, white and red depict the subtle blur in Murakami's works between the square and the circle, and the overall presentation is both simple and classic. In terms of content, a lot of revisions have been made around foreign words, restoring the details of the author's intentional emphasis in the original version. Lin Shaohua updated the prefaces of the translations of many works, and made slight adjustments to some of the tone and expressions in the translations. The chronology of Haruki Murakami has been updated to the latest, and a music list is attached at the end of each book.
