The memoirs of the Yourcenar family, which have been out of print for ten years, are a magnificent triptych that explores history and eternity. The third of a trilogy of autobiographical novels "The Labyrinth of the World", the first female "immortal" of the French Academy, completely subverts the biography genre and continues to be written from the beginning. It slipped from the hand, and like Kafka's "The Castle", it belongs to the great unfinished classics of the 20th century, admired by literary masters such as Pamuk, Wang Xiaobo, Yu Hua, Alai, Chen Ran, Qiu Miaojin, etc., And a model of intellectual writing of the French "New Allegorical School". "What is Eternity" is the last part of Margaret Yourcenar's autobiographical novel trilogy "The Labyrinth of the World". The author tells about his father's life after his mother's death, focusing especially on the intricate emotional entanglement between his mother's close friend Jeanne and his father. He also reviews his childhood and teenage years, and the book ends abruptly with the outbreak of World War I. This book is the one in the trilogy that is most closely integrated with the author's personal experience. Yourcenar also follows her consistent principle of detachment and calmness when describing the close and dearest relatives around her, allowing the people and events in her writing to transcend the limitations of time and geography, reflecting the author's profound thinking about history and time, and a complete subversion of the biography genre. The lingering cloud of war at the end of the work also expresses Yourcenar's deepest worries and most appropriate metaphor for the fate of mankind.

A collection of representative novels by writers who laid the foundation for the development of Soviet literature. Most of the contents of this book are translated into Chinese and published as a book for the first time. "The Beautiful But Rough World" is a collection of Platonov's novels, which includes five novels: "Epifan Sluice", "Ether Passage", "Station Village", "Happy Moskva" and "The Beautiful But Rough World". Except for "The Beautiful But Rough World", they are all translated and introduced to Chinese readers for the first time. These five novels belong to Platonov's three artistic stages respectively. The themes range from science fiction to history and finally return to reality, showing the changes in the writer's thoughts throughout his creative career. "Ether Channel" is a concrete depiction of the "future new world". This new world is not impossible to achieve materially. The real problem lies in how to find the channel in the spiritual world. So the writer extended his brush to history and created "Yepifan Water Gate" and "Station Village", using "historical reality" to think about the roots of the people's spiritual home and explore the methods of transformation of the spiritual world. "Happy Moskva" is an attempt to integrate spirituality and materiality in the new world. However, after a long period of exploration, the final result is the tranquility of reality, and the transformation of the spiritual world is still difficult to achieve. "Beautiful and Rough World" takes the tranquility of reality as its starting point and shows the huge gap between the real world and the "future new world" through the positional relationship between people and society.

The author starts from his own birth and traces the history of his mother's family with a panoramic description, focusing on his two uncles Octave and Fernand, whom he has never met, and his mother Fernand, who died of puerperal fever. Yourcenar used a large number of oral materials, letters, photos, aristocratic family yearbooks and leftover items to construct a complete picture of his mother's family. He traced the roots as far back as possible to the longest past, and used a calm and objective writing style to make the images of each ancestor vivid on the page. She is not content to depict various characters in the family, but tries to clarify the theme of "eternity" through this, condensing the family that has been inherited from generation to generation into a symbol in the macroscopic time and space of the world. Standing outside of time and space, she observes with a cold eye, describes the destiny of mankind, and reveals the eternal laws of history.
