"Confessions of a Mask" is a novella published by Yukio Mishima in 1949. It is also Mishima Yukio's famous work. The work has a keen and delicate grasp of the characters' psychology, and is permeated with the author's sensitive traits.

Twenty-four-year-old Mishima Yukio uses perverted introverted confessions and combines autobiographical plots and stories to intellectually explore his inner world, starting from a kind of social psychological repression to fight against the constraints of traditional order and values. The work first describes "my" birth and family situation, and then introduces readers to "my" strange inner world when I was five years old, and then describes "my" bold psychology in adolescence. "I" felt ashamed of my natural weakness, longed for a strong and wild body, and was determined to carry out spiritual self-training. During the war, "I" approached the opposite sex with the mentality of trying to fall in love, and finally fell in love with my classmate's sister Sonoko, but the relationship ended because I felt that I was not capable. After the war, Sonoko married someone else, but "I" tried to still date her secretly, trying to completely give up the spiritual love of sensuality.

Woolf's masterpiece, a fictional biography of a great androgynous soul, a feminist classic, and a shocking work about "The Second Sex" from a literary perspective. A strange book that influenced Marquez, Borges, and Janet Vincent. The story of "Orlando" begins in the Elizabethan era in the 16th century and ends in the "present day" when Woolf wrote in 1928, lasting four hundred years. Orlando was originally an aristocratic and beautiful boy, innocent and infatuated with poetry. He entered the court because he was favored by the queen. After King James ascends the throne, the Great Frost comes. Orlando encounters a Russian princess and falls in love, but suffers a double betrayal of literature and love. After a fire in Constantinople, Orlando became a woman and first mingled among the Gypsies, then returned to England and became a noble lady of high society. Entering the Victorian era, Orlando had no choice but to compromise with the spirit of the times in order to continue writing. At the end of the story, Orlando is already a prize-winning poet in the 20th century. She returns to the mansion that runs throughout the book and comes under the big oak tree to review her eternal pursuit of literature and poetry.

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.

A maritime novel full of passion, adventure and conspiracy, Dr. Sanders in "On the Chinese Screen" and Captain Nichols in "The Moon and Sixpence" meet at sea, creating a tragic comedy of human nature that is full of dangers. "What do you believe?" "You really want to know? I don't believe in anything, except myself and my experience. The world is made up of me, my thoughts, and my feelings; everything else is just fantasy." The characters in the novel are all kinds of strange, they just appear, take root and grow in your heart, and gradually acquire appropriate characteristics and place themselves in specific scenes. You think about them from time to time, and sometimes you become so obsessed with them that you can't think of anything else, and then you just write them out so they don't bother you anymore. --Maugham

In Japan after the Meiji Restoration, amidst the tremendous social changes, the confrontation between tradition and modernity, morality and utilitarianism was extremely fierce.

He is still studying for a doctorate in literature, and is worried about his thesis, love, parents' expectations, and future career. At this time, he received a task: to take care of a "visiting Latin American writer." And this writer is Borges, one of the greatest writers of the 20th century. He is blind and relies on an ivory-handled cane to find his way around. So, at the request of the master who came from afar, the 22-year-old Parini drove into his old car, took the 72-year-old Borges, who talked endlessly, and traveled through the wilderness scenery of the Scottish Highlands, embarking on a road trip full of twists and turns and whims.
