In order to allow her lover to reach the other side of heaven more freely and obtain something "better" than the ordinary happiness that love can give, she made her own decision...

Stevenson cherished his free days very much and made several long-term trips to France. Once, as described in "Travel with a Donkey", he left his hometown and came to the mountain town of Monastie alone. He drove his donkey across the Severn Mountains, chatting with random acquaintances along the way, and sleeping under the stars at night. Along the way, the scenery of the mountainous areas of southern France is gradually presented to the readers as the author's journey progresses. Also, I have to mention the other protagonist in the book, "Little Wenwen". "Little Wenmei" is the name given by the author to his traveling companion, the little donkey. The author uses humorous writing to describe the complete bankruptcy of the author's little intellectual fantasy in the face of "little gentleness" who has no understanding of humanistic customs, which leads to a tense relationship with "little gentleness" along the way. It is so interesting to read that you can't help but laugh.

"The Boy" is a very important novel by Dostoevsky in his later years. The novel takes as its main line the growth experience of Arkady Dolgoruky, a young man who is not deeply involved in the world and is deeply influenced by Rothschild's thoughts. It depicts the corrosion of the souls of the young generation in Russia by money worship in the 1870s when capitalism was developing rapidly.

"The Troubles of Birth" is a collection of short stories and short stories by Takero Arishima, a representative writer of the Shirakaba School in Japan. "The Troubles of Birth" successfully created the image of a young artist from a fisherman's family, reflecting the contradiction between art and life, ideal and reality. The work brilliantly depicts the magnificent scene of Hokkaido fishermen fighting against nature. The author used the scene to convey his emotions, expressing his strong indignation at the social environment at that time and his deep sympathy for the suffering life and mental outlook of the lower class people. It is a classic work selected as a Chinese language textbook for Japanese middle schools. This collection also includes works such as "Grass Under a Stone", which describes revenge against his wife, "The French Girl", which praises the innocent soul, and "The Legend of the West", which interprets sacred beliefs. These works include the Bible's thoughts on human love and Tolstoy's humanitarian thoughts, as well as Kropotkin's anarchist thoughts and Whitman's thoughts about praising freedom. They are full of Japanese Shirakaba writers' emphasis on self-emphasis and personality development.

"The Complete Collection of Pushkin's Lyric Poems (Set of Volumes 1 and 2)" contains more than 800 lyric poems composed by Pushkin throughout his life. It is the first single-line version of the complete collection of Pushkin's lyric poems translated by a single translator in my country. The translator once published the ten-volume "Collected Works of Pushkin" that he translated independently in our company. He has devoted himself to studying all Pushkin's literary works for thirty years, thus ensuring that the translation is accurate, precise, beautiful and smooth. His translation is unique among the numerous translations of Pushkin's poetry in China. Pushkin was a great Russian poet in the 19th century and the founder of modern Russian literature. He was hailed by Gorky as the "Sun of Russian Poetry". He fully expressed his pursuit, emotion, character and style in his poems. His poems are full of passion, and he is always pursuing freedom. He dreams that one day he can break away from the shackles of the Tsarist autocratic system and soar under the unfettered blue sky. There are also a large number of love poems in his works, in which the poet expresses thousands of warm and sincere feelings and eulogizes the women he admires. They are full of true feelings, popular and refreshing.
