D-503 is the designer of a spacecraft in the "Great United Nations" a thousand years later, where people's names are represented by numbers, and their daily routine and even sex life are strictly arranged according to standards. One day, number D-503 met female number I-330. Due to the resurgence of "ancient" desires in his body, he couldn't help but fall in love with her, and unknowingly participated in her plan to overthrow the United Nations. But I-330's plan failed and was discovered by the omniscient and omnipotent. Number D-503 was tied to the operating table and underwent an operation to remove the illusion. I-330 was sent to the "gas bell jar" for execution... The work relies on a fantasy story that takes place in the future, and contains deep thoughts on the future of mankind. "Us" directly influenced later dystopian works such as "1984" and "Brave New World", becoming the source of the dystopian trilogy. In addition to the anti-totalitarian meaning, the expression techniques such as symbolism, absurdity, fantasy, and stream of consciousness in the work also have a great impact on later generations - Hitchcock's suspense story "Murder 1990" was born out of "Us". This work was banned in the former Soviet Union for more than 60 years and was not lifted until 1988. In 1994, "Us" won the Prometheus "Hall of Fame" award.

This is Verne's classic work. For readers who like Verne's works, this book is worth reading. It is said that the last ray of light emitted by the sun when it slowly sets on the sea level is green; it is said that people who have seen the green light will not go astray on emotional issues; it is said that the appearance of green light will destroy illusions and lies... The Scottish lady Helena Campbell had never seen the green light and refused to get married. A report in the morning newspaper took off the mysterious veil of this legend and made it real and credible. Helena's two uncles had already chosen a suitable husband for the girl, but they didn't know how to convince her, so the three of them embarked on a long journey to pursue the green light with their own concerns. Along the way, there are not only the magnificence of the sea and adventures beside the whirlpool, but also thrilling scenes in the caves. Although the person her uncle was looking for appeared, it was not to Helena's liking at all; the young Scottish nobleman who appeared out of nowhere eventually formed a century-long relationship with her. The two of them went through a lot of hardships, but the moment they saw the green light, they were confused by each other's eyes full of passionate love and missed the opportunity. Helena sighed and said: "Now that I have found happiness, I will leave the opportunity to find the green light to others..."

The work of the famous French writer Jules Verne is his first published novel and the first part of his series "Strange Journey". In the first half of the 19th century, although many explorers, geographers, and travelers conducted arduous and outstanding expeditions to Africa and left behind many precious materials and maps, they were still unable to explore the African region between 14° and 33° east longitude. At this time, the British traveler Dr. Ferguson decided to verify the results of previous expeditions and conduct an inspection of this region of Africa. Although he was doubted by everyone, he, together with his friends and servants, set out from Zanzibar in Africa, took a hydrogen balloon of his own design, and experienced numerous difficulties and obstacles all the way north, and finally arrived at the French territory on the Senegal River, thus completing the unfinished business of his predecessors and breaking everyone's speculation and doubts.

Mountains, seas, swamps, desert rivers, volcanoes and other tropical landforms are all covered in the novel. The work fully reflects the author's extensive knowledge and extremely rich imagination.
