"The Age of Innocence" is the representative work of the famous American writer Edith Wharton, which won the 1921 Pulitzer Prize. The main plot of the book takes place in the upper class society of New York in the late 1870s and early 1880s. That was where Wharton spent her childhood and youth, where she grew up, entered society, became engaged and disengaged, and finally married Edward Wharton of Boston, where she spent her first years of marriage. Forty years later, as a novelist, she looks back at the society that raised her and restrained her. Her feelings are complex, with both cordial attachment and sober criticism. The writer compared the upper class society in New York at that time to a small pyramid. It was sharp and slippery, making it difficult to gain a foothold on it. At the top of the tower, there are only two or three families with real aristocratic blood: the Dagonet family in Washington Square is an authentic county family; Mr. Van der Luyden is the direct grandson of the first Dutch governor, and his family has married several nobles in France and England; and the Laning family, who has married the Count de Grasse. They are the highest class of the upper class, but they are obviously in a declining stage.

Proust is one of the greatest literary masters of the twentieth century. "In Search of Lost Time" is a voluminous volume and is one of the most famous and difficult works in the entire history of literature. The whole book takes the narrator "I" as the main body and integrates what he sees, hears, thinks and feels. It is not only a true description of social life and human relations, but also a record of the author's inner experience of self-pursuit and self-understanding. It can be said to be a novel tree with many branches derived from the trunk of a novel, or it can be said to be a giant symphony intertwined with several themes. "Swann's Love" is the only independent novella in "Reminiscence of Lost Time". The French call it "narration" or "narrative", and musicians call it "solo" or "solo". It is like the Wagner overture favored by Proust. In short, it can be published or performed alone. "Swann's Love" is originally a chapter of the first volume "At Swann's House", but it is the only one narrated in the third person in the entire masterpiece, and "I" (Marcel) is responsible for everything else. In 1913, Proust pointed out in a letter: "At Swann's House", especially the chapter "Swann's Love", is full of foreshadowing. It can be said to be a kind of "preface" and a condensation of the entire book "Reminiscence of Lost Time".

"Richard III" is a work by the British playwright William Shakespeare. It describes the short reign of Richard III. The play is believed to have been written around 1591. The play is sometimes classified as a tragedy (in the early quartos), but a more accurate classification would be a historical drama, as in the First Folio. The work begins with "Henry VI Part 3" and ends the series of historical dramas that began with "Richard II". This work is Shakespeare's second longest play, after "Hamlet". Since the version of "Hamlet" included in the "First Folio" is shorter than the previous quarto, "Richard III" is the longest play among them. The length of the script is often considered a drawback, as it is rarely performed in its entirety and unimportant characters are often omitted.

In 1903, the famous French writer Romain Rolland was deeply aware of the dullness and decline of European culture at that time. In order to let the world "breathe the breath of heroes", he began to use words to compose a majestic symphony of life: "The Life of Beethoven", "The Life of Michelangelo" and "The Life of Tolstoy" - these are the three works included in this book. Three geniuses who created the greatest art masters fought endlessly on the journey of life's troubles and difficulties.

The two fall in love at first sight, and their quarrels continue but the love grows deeper and deeper. However, this deep love falls into infinite desolation when Jenny's soul returns to heaven... The novel composes a love song as pure as autumn water, like a fresh grass, touching the softest place in the heart and plucking the deepest heartstrings, which is unforgettable. As soon as the book was published, it was immediately read by millions of Americans. Even the then US President Richard Nixon was moved to recommend it to people across the country. The book has been at the top of the New York Times bestseller list for 41 weeks. The hardcover version was reprinted 21 times within a year. It is published in 30 languages ​​around the world, with cumulative sales of more than 30 million copies. It was named one of the "Top 10 American Love Classics of the 20th Century" by Time Magazine. The film adaptation of the same name won the American Global Award and the Oscar Award, and has become a household classic.

"The Merchant of Venice" is Shakespeare's important early work and a highly satirical comedy. It was made around 1596-1597. The theme of the script is to praise benevolence, friendship and love. It also reflects the contradiction between the commercial bourgeoisie and the loan sharks in the early stage of capitalism, and expresses the author's humanistic thoughts on issues such as money, law and religion in bourgeois society. An important literary achievement of this play is to create the typical image of Shylock, a profit-seeking, ruthless loan shark.

"The Winter's Tale" is a work by the English playwright William Shakespeare. It was first published in the First Folio in 1623. Although it was classified as a comedy when it was first released, some modern editors classify it as a "legend drama". Because its first three acts are full of intense psychological description, while the last two acts are comedy and have a happy ending, some critics, including W. W. Lawrence, consider it one of Shakespeare's "problem plays." Despite this, the work was often very popular and was frequently adapted into different forms and versions by some of the pioneering theatrical experimenters throughout the history of Shakespeare's performance.

The Iron Rat, also known as the Raiha Rat, was one of the favorite themes of storytellers at the end of the Heian period. According to the Yankei version of "Heian Monogatari", Emperor Shirakawa made the daughter of Seki Shirofujiwara Shimi as his queen, and she was known as Nakamiya Kenko. , The two were extremely loving, so they hoped that Xianzi would give birth to a prince. The emperor heard that Mitsuiji Laihao Acharya's magic power was efficacious, so he ordered him to pray on his behalf, and he agreed (if everything goes well, all gifts will be easy). Later, Laihao Acharya prayed wholeheartedly and paid tribute to this wish. Prince Dunwen was born. The Emperor was overjoyed and asked Acharya what reward he wanted. Laihao Acharya replied: "I hope that the Emperor will order Mitsui Temple to build an ordination altar." 〕The emperor readily agreed, but he ignored that at that time Mitsui-ji Temple was located on the side of Mount Hiei, where Enryaku-ji Temple of the Tendai sect was located. Hearing that the emperor had authorized Mitsui-ji Temple to build an ordination altar to symbolize the status of the commanding Buddhist temple, he especially used his political connections to advise the emperor. In the end, the emperor felt that the Tendai sect could not be divided, so he withdrew the previous order. Laihao Acharya heard about this change and said angrily: "I worked hard and prayed hard to get the prince. Now that the emperor has betrayed me, I will take him to the devil's path." 〕After saying this, he would not eat a grain of rice, and would eventually go on a hunger strike and die. At that time, a white-haired monster monk appeared next to the emperor's pillow, standing in front of the bed holding a tin staff, which shocked the emperor. He asked the monks of Mount Hiei to pray for blessings and avoid disasters. Unfortunately, Prince Atsubun died before he was four years old. According to folklore, Acharya Laihao locked himself in a secret room without trimming his beard, hair, or nails. He burned incense and cursed without sleep for a hundred days. After he died, he turned into 84,000 giant rats with iron-like teeth and stone-like bodies. They went all the way to Mount Hiei and chewed up all the Buddha statues and scriptures. Because of its iron-like teeth, Toriyama Shiyan called it "Iron Rat" in "Hakugui Night Walk".
