An Italian national treasure literary master, the literary idol of a series of female writers such as Sally Rooney; a work about destruction in silence, examining class, wealth and marriage with a forensic gaze; she does not care about men, she just tells women's stories, a new model of female voices; if Ferrante is a friend, then Ginzberg is a mentor. This book contains three of Ginzburg's works, "Valentino", "Mother" and "Sagittarius". Valentino is handsome and studying medicine. In his father's dream, he will become the chief physician of the hospital in the future; in his mother's dream, he will marry a beautiful woman. Only his sister Caterina saw his true face: lazy, vain, spoiled by everyone. When Valentino gets engaged to the wealthy but ugly Maddalena without warning, his parents' dream begins to fall apart. As a person excluded from life, Caterina can only be an audience, waiting for the day when it is her turn to become the protagonist? So, she told us everything in a calm and specific sarcastic tone. In this novella published in 1957, we can see the writing art of Natalia Ginzburg: she is good at using a simple and colloquial narrative to weave together seemingly trivial events, thereby revealing the power and despair of life. The same technique also appears in the novella "Sagittarius" of the same year, and in the 1948 short story "Mother", which is full of dramatic tension. Between those trivial glitches, innocuous little quirks, trivial conversations and subtle actions, Ginzberg constructs pages of incomparably fresh, vivid and bright pages.

In 1999, a tiger on Zhenhu Mountain broke the tranquility on the eve of the millennium. The tiger descends from the mountain, threatening the production safety of the steel plant at the foot of the mountain, watching the rise and fluctuation of desire, and the story unfolds. The ups and downs of the times and the gaze of wild beasts, in Li Xiuwen's unique and intense brushstrokes, interpret an allegory of the world and the human heart. The work continues Li Xiuwen's long-term deep concern and artistic exploration, passionately writing about the journey, hardship and solemnity of the world, and finding a new narrative perspective with the help of the organic integration of realistic writing and magical imagination. Incorporating prose and opera elements, the re-refined novel language is sonorous and unrestrained, giving people a unique aesthetic feeling. The roar of tigers is the echo of history, passing through the forest tops, cliffs and the sound of wind, reaching straight to the soul. The world is unkind and treats all things as stupid dogs, which reveals the essence of human nature. The struggle between man and himself has no ending, victory or defeat, and is tragic and magnificent.

Tianjin Wei is originally a land and water dock, with residents from all over the place with very different personalities. However, in the hometown of Yanzhao, the blood is strong; the water is salty, the soil is alkaline, and the wind is strong. In the past hundred years or so, China has been the first to bear the brunt of all major disasters, and various weird characters have emerged, not only to show off the upper class, but also among the people. Therefore, I started writing these random thoughts and notes at this time. Each person has an article, each of which is unrelated, and is given the general title of "Strange People in the World". This book collects the "Strange People in the World" created by Mr. Feng from the 1990s to 2020, presenting readers with a complete series of 54 "Strange People in the World", and exclusively includes 58 vivid illustrations hand-drawn by Mr. Feng Jicai. These chapters are unified in style, rich in legend, full of life, and have vivid characters.

They also show the exquisite skills of our country's folk culture and the wisdom contained in them.

"Tea Man Trilogy" takes the ups and downs of the four generations of the Hangjiuzhai family, the owners of the Wangyou Tea House in Hangzhou, the capital of green tea, as the main line, and creates characters with different social significance and artistic brilliance such as Wu Chaqing, Hang Tianzui, Hang Jiahe, Zhao Jike, Shen Luai, etc. The image shows the temperament and spirit of the Hangzhou tea people who endured heavy burdens, wiped away dirt, shed blood and sacrificed their lives on the road of life full of worries. It embodies the perseverance of the Chinese nation for survival and development and the ideal tendency of loving freedom and yearning for light. The smoke of tea, the collision of hearts, and the entanglement of love are intertwined in the author's elegant, gentle and restrained writing; the changes of the century, the history of Hangzhou, the rise and fall of the tea industry, and the sentiments of tea people all reflect each other and merge into one, showing the author's rigorous and clear historical knowledge and ability to describe social phenomena on a large scale, which is particularly rare nowadays.

Several volumes of scraps that were found and lost, a piece of historical fact that has been obscured. Why did Hu Fu's cavalry and shooting shine in China, but King Zhao Wuling could only be trapped in the sand dunes? The smoke on the paper is about to be scrapped, echoing in the depths of history, and the truth is revealed at the last moment! In the middle and late Warring States period, King Wuling of Zhao promoted "Hufu riding and shooting", which enabled Zhao to rise to become the overlord of the Central Plains. However, at the height of his power, the hero suddenly abdicated and died mysteriously in the Sand Dune Palace not long after. The official annals are vague, but folk rumors are widespread - a palace coup, covering up the death of the most confusing king in Chinese history. Two thousand three hundred years later, a notebook written by an archaeologist of the Republic of China reappeared in the world. According to his notes, during his excavations at the Yin Ruins, he discovered several volumes of damaged bamboo slips near the sand dune site. The contents were actually secret histories privately written by Zhao State historians. Although the bamboo slips are incomplete, they point directly to the shocking inside story of the Dune Incident: power, betrayal, unspoken emotions, and the truth that a historian defended with blood. At that time, Dong Yong, the historian of Zhao State, took the risk to investigate the death of King Wuling of Zhao. He went deep into the sand dunes, secretly interviewed dignitaries, soldiers, and palace officials, and pieced together the truth amidst numerous obstacles and murderous intentions. However, when he took hold of the pen, he was caught in a dilemma: recording truthfully would surely lead to national chaos; remaining silent would negate the responsibility of the historian. What's even more frightening is that the secrets hidden in the bamboo slips actually involve the incredible motives behind the regicide...

"The Bank on Chaotianmen" is another masterpiece by writer Shen Pingzhi after "Once Upon a Time in Chongqing". It takes the opening of Chongqing (1891) to the early days of the founding of New China as the historical background, focuses on the financial changes in the Chaotianmen area, and weaves a magnificent picture of financial history through the fate of three bankers, Yang Cansan, Kang Xinru, and Liu Hangchen. On the land with a radius of only one or two kilometers around Chaotianmen Pier, 233 financial institutions were once gathered, which was historically known as the "Wall Street" of China's rear area. When you check in at the internet-famous attractions in Chaotianmen, you can imagine the grand scene where banks were lined up and merchants gathered here a hundred years ago; when you stroll through the bustling Hongya Cave, you can think of the dock teahouses and financial games described in the book. The novel takes the Yang family's Juxingcheng Bank, Kang Xinru's leading Bank Meifeng, and Liu Hangchen's integrated Chuankang Bank as the main line, unfolding the intertwined destinies of the three parties. Yang Cansan inherited his father's business and developed Juxingcheng from a traditional bank into a modern commercial bank. After experiencing bank runs, warlords' apportionment, and family strife, he always adhered to the belief of "deeply cultivating the west"; Kang Xinru took charge of the Sino-US joint venture Meifeng Bank and withdrew foreign capital. Surviving in the cracks of separation and frequent wars, Liu Hangchen showed extraordinary business wisdom and national integrity; Liu Hangchen relied on his relationship with the warlord Liu Xiang to integrate banks such as Sichuan Salt and Sichuan Kang, completed the transformation from politics to business, and became a "tycoon" in the financial world. In Chongqing, the "wartime financial center" during the Anti-Japanese War, they faced major historical events such as currency reform, debt-raising turmoil, and the Liji Consortium trend. They finally made different choices in the tide of the times. Some welcomed new life, while others left sadly, and together they composed a symphony of destiny for a generation of Chongqing businessmen. The author uses delicate brushwork to restore the market atmosphere and financial situation of old Chongqing, which has both professional and rigorous historical data value and a vivid and tortuous storyline. This is not only a financial novel, but also an "in-depth travel guide to Chongqing" that takes you from the appearance of internet celebrities to the core of the city.

[Lovecraft's enlightenment work, the source of inspiration for the Cthulhu Mythos! Hastur, the Great Old One, appears! ] Robert Chambers was born in 1865. He studied painting throughout his life, wrote horror novels in his early years, and changed to historical novels in his later years. Whether it is painting or writing, he has achieved some achievements, but he will never be famous in history. Originally, such a person would be forgotten by people after his death and disappear into the torrent of history. It happened that the book "The King in Yellow" he wrote in his early years deeply inspired a reader: H. P. Lovecraft. "The King in Yellow," a series of indirectly connected short stories with the same background - a strange forbidden book that invites panic, madness and horrific tragedy when read carefully... I was deeply impressed by the strange and terrifying elements Mr. Chambers used in this work. However, he failed to continue It's a pity to develop in this field - it is not difficult to become a world-famous master with his talent. "The King in Yellow" was written in 1895, and when Lovecraft began to write his horror literature in 1914, he had Chambers and Poe in his mind. Out of love, Lovecraft introduced this mysterious figure in yellow robes named "Hasta" in many of his stories. Many people mistakenly believe that the "King in Yellow" is a character written by Lovecraft, but this is not the case. Chambers may still be unknown and few people remember him, but "The King in Yellow" has followed the rise of Cthulhu culture and stood in front of the world again.

In chronological order, "Ulysses" describes the various daily experiences of Bloom, an advertising salesman, in Dublin during one day and night on June 16, 1904. Joyce compares Bloom's day wandering the streets of Dublin to Odysseus's ten years of wandering overseas, while simultaneously portraying the psychology of his unfaithful wife Molly and Stephen's search for his spiritual father. The novel makes extensive use of detailed descriptions and stream-of-consciousness techniques to construct an intertwined and messy time and space, forming a unique style in language.

"Anna Karenina" is a novel written by Russian writer Leo Tolstoy and is also his representative work. The work tells the story of Anna, an aristocratic woman, who pursues love and happiness, but is defeated by Karenin's hypocrisy and Vronsky's indifference and selfishness. She eventually ends up committing suicide by lying on a train and leaving her body in a station. The manor owner Levin opposed the private ownership of land, resisted the capitalist system, and sympathized with the poor peasants, but he could not get rid of the aristocratic habits and fell into an inextricable contradiction. Contradictory periods, contradictory systems, contradictory characters, and contradictory psychology make the whole book bump in the whirlpool of contradictions. Dostoyevsky commented that "this is a perfect artistic masterpiece, and there is nothing similar in modern European literature that can compare with it." The heroine in the book, Anna Karenina, has become one of the most graceful and plump female images in the history of world literature. Cao Ying, a literary translator, has single-handedly accomplished the feat of translating all of Leo Tolstoy's novels. The translation is famous for its concise, bright, smooth and easy-to-read text.
