"Remembering the Old Scenery of Yancun" adopts the method of reminiscence, using the author's life experiences in childhood, adolescence, and old age as clues to tell readers about the author's century-old nostalgia hidden deep in his heart.

From 1932 to 1972, federal, state, and local public health authorities in the United States jointly conducted a human experiment in Tuskegee, Alabama, on more than 400 black male sharecroppers infected with syphilis. This was a non-therapeutic experiment to follow the spontaneous evolution of syphilis to see how it affected these sick black people. The black men were not told they had syphilis or what it might do to them, and, other than a small amount of medication for the first few months, they received no medical treatment except aspirin to relieve pain. Health officials at all levels, including black doctors and nurses, systematically deceived these people into believing they were sick and had "dirty blood" in their bodies. After a patient dies, every effort will be made to prevent the body from being released, for fear of exposing the truth of the experiment. By the end of the 40-year death observation period, more than 100 people had died of syphilis or related complications, and the survivors suffered from varying degrees of physical disability and mental illness. Public outcry grew, victims began to sue and seek compensation, and the black community was angry and distrustful, even hampering subsequent efforts by health officials to combat AIDS in the black community. Dirty Blood is not only the authoritative history of the Tuskegee syphilis experiments, but also a bioethics classic. It attempts to show that the Tuskegee Study was a logical outgrowth of American race relations and medical practice. This was also proven by a scandal that was later exposed: in the late 1940s, the U. S. Public Health Service conducted a study on syphilis infection among mentally ill patients and prisoners in Guatemala to determine the effectiveness of treatment. After its publication, "Dirty Blood" not only received a Pulitzer Prize nomination, but also spawned corresponding film and theater works.

"Sorrow and Reason" contains a total of twenty-one essays, which are roughly divided into several genres such as memoirs, travel notes, speeches, open letters and eulogies. These essays come in various forms and lengths, but they appeal to a common theme, which is "poetry and poets." This collection of essays can be said to be a key to Brodsky's poetic and aesthetic views, as well as his ethics and worldview. Less than half a year after the completion of the last work in the collection, "In Memory of Stephen Spender," Brodsky himself passed away. Therefore, "Sorrow and Reason" became the last collection of prose published by Brodsky during his lifetime. It is the "swan song" of Brodsky's prose writing and even his entire creation.

"Less than One" is Joseph Brodsky's first collection of essays. It consists mainly of long essays, with a number of short essays. There are only eighteen articles, each of which is wonderful. Coupled with its unique style and "book style", it forms a perfect book. This is the spiritual autobiography of a great poet and a private memoir. With creative interpretation and interpretation, Brodsky completed his tribute to Akhmatova, Auden and others, powerfully defended personal values, and exposed and accused the dictator's crimes. Such accusations do not use public language and diction, but stand at the level of "a poet versus an empire." This height stems from his belief that language is above all else, even the object of time worship, and poetry is the supreme form of language.

Santiago de Compostela (Santiago de Compostela, meaning "Santiago of the Starry Fields") is the capital of the autonomous region of Galicia in Spain, with a population of less than 100,000. According to legend, James, one of the Twelve Apostles of Jesus, is buried here and is one of the Catholic pilgrimage destinations. Since the Middle Ages, pilgrims have come here in an endless stream, and even formed a famous pilgrimage road, the Way of St. James. In 2011, after retiring from his position as ambassador, Lufen decided to embark on a journey to Santiago. "Immortal Journey" is a true record of Lu Fen's pilgrimage. The humorous, self-deprecating and emotional writing style shows not only the basic common sense of pilgrimage, but also the magnificent scenery, interesting things along the way, portraits of unexpected characters, and even the boundless thoughts of a lonely walker between heaven and earth. From the joy of freedom on the Basque coastline to the loneliness, exhaustion and self-doubt bred in the monotonous industrial landscape of Cantabria to Oviedo, where religious inspiration flashes near the end, Luffen finally achieves physical and spiritual transformation. This transformation, as he said, is not about religious piety, but about forgetting, forgetting the constraints of daily life, forgetting the fatigue and bad weather of long distances, forgetting industrialization and material scarcity, and then being spiritually sublimated. This applies to all people with different purposes but walking on their own "pilgrimage paths."

In 1965, in order to find the name "Jean-Louis Lebri de Kerouac", Kerouac went to Paris alone. During the 10 days in Paris (and Brittany), like a lonely traveler, he strolled along the straight boulevards of the Tuileries Gardens, crossed the swaying bridges on the lively Seine River, listened to the "Requiem" in the Saint-Germain des Prés church, and met all kinds of people at the same time: a Breton with blue-black hair and green eyes, who had a gap in his front teeth, just embedded in the lickable lips; the waiter in the gentle girl bar, who kept following "Paris is rotten," he said; a Napoleon-like guard wearing a bicorn hat and a bayonet stared intently at him as he lit a cigarette butt... Then at some point, he had a revelation, a revelation that changed him and allowed him to live in that pattern for the next seven years or more. To be precise, it was an "enlightenment": a "sudden enlightenment," a "sudden awakening," or, to put it simply, "a sudden opening of the eyes." It is with this epiphany that Kerouac tells us about this intoxicating trip to Paris.

This book collects Margaret Atwood's essays from 1970 to the beginning of the 21st century, including book reviews, literary reviews, creative talks, obituaries, etc. This collection of essays is more like an informal autobiography, showing readers a life full of curiosity. She is a witty critic who offers unique insights into the works of Updike, Angela Carter and others; she is also a cool skeptic who reserves her own views on "female bad behavior" in Canadian history and novels. Her life is as exciting as her narrative: a haunted farm, a misogynistic interview host, an arctic adventure with food poisoning, and literary festivals around the world, leaving readers dizzying. Naturally, there are also reviews of the creation of some classic works, such as "The Handmaid's Tale", "Alias ​​Grace", "Oryx and Crake" and so on. Atwood uses his rich and varied perspective to lead readers on a literary journey, and also goes deep into the reverse flow of time, looking back at some landmark events in the twentieth century and witnessing our journey to the twenty-first century.

E. E. Cummings (1894-1962) is by far one of the most influential, widely read, and most famous American modernist poets, as famous as Frost. He also combined the talents of a playwright, painter and essayist. He constantly broke through the boundaries of language with his bold and innovative poetic style. At the same time, he used "love" as the focused theme and motivation of poetry, and wrote "the most beautiful hymn to love, God and nature in this century." No one else has captivated both general and niche readers alike by the magic of avant-garde poetry. This collection of poems has selected 326 representative poems from his more than 900 works, and translated 110 more poems on the basis of the first edition. Dozens of them have been typed in Chinese and English, which fully demonstrates the splendid and uninhibited and ingenious text experiments of this "urchin in poetry". It is a modern poetry anthology worthy of repeated reading.

The entropy of the universe will not decrease. All of us are mortal. But anticipating things before they happen is how we mere mortals can slow down time. In the early morning of October 21, 1966, Middleton, a music teacher living in the suburbs of London, was awakened by a nightmare. She woke up breathless and convinced that disaster was coming. An hour later, a coal mine collapsed in South Wales, killing 144 people, mostly children. Among the doctors and first responders who arrived at the scene was psychiatrist John Buck. After the disaster, the replies from various "premonitors" prompted him to set up the Premonition Bureau, a network composed of hundreds of correspondents from all walks of life, from bank clerks to ballet teachers... Among them, two gifted "premonitors" predicted flight crashes, assassinations and international events with astonishing accuracy. Soon after, the two tell Buck about a disturbing premonition: he is about to die... Predicting the future is almost impossible, but sometimes it does come true.

This is a true story in human history, a story about how plague shaped our cities and even the world today. In the 19th century, during the era of Queen Victoria in England, London, as a modern metropolis, suffered from disease pandemics every few years, with each outbreak claiming thousands of lives. Doctor John Snow conducted a series of studies and discovered and proved that cholera exists in water. When no one believed it, the Reverend Henry Whitehead helped Snow plot the number of people who drew water to drink versus the number of people who did not draw water to drink on the same graph and label the number of deaths in each neighborhood. It was found that the further away from the water pump, the fewer deaths occurred. It turned out that the water pump was the source of pollution. This great discovery saved the city of London from the last cholera outbreak in Britain. This neighborhood map has deservedly become one of the most influential maps in history, as important as Columbus's early maps that led navigators around the world. It created a new way of life, and people began to build sewer systems, create urban public facilities, and ensure clean water for the benefit of everyone. And this period of history that ushered in a new era of medicine is also deeply recorded in the immortal monument of the progress of human civilization.

Millions of people ascend the Metropolitan Museum of Art's grand marble staircase each year to glimpse its treasures. But only a few people have unrestricted access to every corner of the museum, and they are the security guards who shuttle through it. Patrick Brinley had a coveted job at The New Yorker magazine, but he never thought he would one day become one of them.

"Bitter Elixir: Thalidomide, Seals, and the Heroes Who Sounded the Alarm" challenges the official American narrative that there are almost no thalidomide victims in the United States: Although thalidomide has never been marketed in the United States, as many as five pharmaceutical companies still provided at least 2.5 Million tablets of thalidomide to thousands of doctors across the United States for so-called "clinical trials." These thalidomides were freely prescribed to nearly 20,000 Americans, including thousands of women of childbearing age. As a result, at least nearly a hundred "seal babies" were born in the United States. What conceals these shocking figures are the blatant lies of pharmaceutical companies and drug test doctors, the FDA's concealment of information and its distorted interpretation of investigation results in order to shirk responsibility, and the U. S. Department of Justice's lenient approach to the drug companies responsible. Today, more than half a century later, the FDA still insists there were only nine thalidomide drug trial victims in the United States. Greedy profit-seeking capital, inefficient supervision, and imperfect relevant laws jointly led to the tragedy of thalidomide. Reading and remembering this history can help us understand the necessity of drug clinical trials and safety supervision and avoid the recurrence of tragedies.

Pain is a get-rich-quick business in America. American pharmaceutical giant Purdue Pharma sells the oral sustained-release analgesic OxyContin in the name of pain. Since its launch in the 1990s, it has caused an unprecedented public health disaster in the United States. Today, 80% of drug addicts in the United States are related to OxyContin abuse, and the reason for their overdose was not to treat the disease in the first place. The Sackler family behind Purdue Pharma is good at selling pharmaceuticals and almost single-handedly started the "pain epidemic" in the United States. From "more patients taking OxyContin" to "each patient taking more OxyContin," the Sackler family has built a huge pharmaceutical empire. Doctors, pharmaceutical companies, scientists, regulatory agencies, and government officials are all drawn by huge profits and involved in a deadly business of "making drugs in the name of health." In 2019, approximately 840,000 people died due to OxyContin abuse in the United States; in 2020, 28 states and more than 600 cities in the United States jointly launched large-scale lawsuits; since then, this crisis has begun to come into the public eye. As a documentary observation of contemporary America, "Bloodthirsty Pharmaceuticals" deeply restores this crazy and thrilling disaster in the history of American pharmaceuticals.

Who says we need organization in our lives? Who says we should constantly strive to become healthier, leaner, more productive, and more optimistic? There's nothing more boring than a success story about living a well-dressed, even-toned, and radiant life through self-optimization. You know the kind of life-optimization strategies you often read about in magazines-your closet needs to be tidy, your life needs to be as orderly as clockwork, and even your love life needs to be fast, precise, and efficient.

If you're tired of trying to do your best in this day and age, following a bunch of organization magic and fasting, then don't miss this book that will inspire you to live a hedonistic life.

Rest is like a soft cloud in the sky, passing quietly inadvertently. This short period of time is like intermission at an opera, like halftime at a football game, or like the break between classes. A break seems like an insignificant gap, a gap in a planned daily life, like a whim, sometimes unbearable. After all, it's what happens before and after that matters, isn't it? Rest itself is unworthy of our lack of attention and love. In fact, it is a real bag of surprises, a treasure trove full of meanings and connotations that give meaning to our existence.

The earth asks us to take care of it and treat it well. "Care" has the same etymological origin as "beauty". If you love it, you must praise it. The texts in this volume are all hymns, praising the earth.

From Midori Kobayashi who "I can feel the so-called responsibility" in "Norwegian Wood", to Tamura who "want to be the strongest fifteen-year-old boy in the world" in "Kafka on the Shore", to Aomame and Tengo in "1Q84" who resolutely rescued themselves from nightmares... The same blood flows in their bodies. Even if they are destined to fall into a well, they will not give up the responsibility of living easily. No matter how unappealing the responsibility may seem. Haruki Murakami not only writes about our cowardice, but also the objects of courage we want to call upon.
