"The Clock Without Hands" is an impressive novel by McCullers, written about people in three age groups: the 80-year-old former member of the House of Representatives, Judge Fox Klein, the pharmacy owner Mr. Malone who suffers from leukemia, the judge's grandson, Jester, a seventeen-year-old high school student, and Sherman, a black man of the same year. The novel connects these vivid characters through two main lines. The first main line is that Mr. Malone, the owner of the pharmacy, was diagnosed with leukemia. From then on, his life became a clock without hands until he calmly closed his eyes forever. Fourteen months passed in between. The second main line is that the blue-eyed black orphan Sherman Puyou is determined to find his biological mother, while the judge's grandson is interested in finding out the cause of his father's death, so the novel has a very thick "racial discrimination" main line. The novel does not have a bizarre and tortuous plot, but the characters are flesh and blood, each one vivid and vivid on the page.

Fromm's classic work, author of "The Art of Love" and "Escape from Freedom" and one of the founders of "Psychoanalytic Sociology", is How a Gentleman with Faith Says "No". Whether mankind has a future and whether civilization will end depends on whether we have the ability to doubt, criticize and disobey. --Erich Fromm In the collection "On Disobedience", Erich Fromm clearly explained what "obedience" and "disobedience" really mean: obedience to human nature and the goals of a humane society, and disobedience to various idols and political ideologies. His discussion is still relevant today: he opposes blindly following conventions and takes a critical stance on the commonplace "bad knowledge". Fromm's insights, combined with the psychology gained from social and political phenomena, led him to support the American Socialist Party for a period of time, join the peace movement, and call for disarmament steps. In these activities, he practiced his disobedience to the "common sense" of various people and official political discourse. What he obeyed was a sane way of thinking, which was in line with the ideas held by prophets and philosophers such as Albert Schweitzer and Bertrand Russell.

I think the most merciful thing in the world is that the human brain is unable to connect all the thoughts in the brain. Nowadays, we live on a quiet island of ignorance in the middle of a dark sea, but this does not mean that we must go sailing and explore. Although scientific research in various fields has tried its best to develop along its own trajectory, it has not caused us any harm so far. If we can one day piece together all the unrelated knowledge, then what will appear in front of us will be a very scary reality, and our situation will be full of fear. Until then, we will either be driven mad by the known truth, or we will flee the light and enter a new age of calm and darkness. --"Call of Cthulhu"

"The Little Red Horse" is a collection of short stories published by Steinbeck in 1937. It consists of four short stories: "The Gift", "The Mountain", "The Promise" and "The Chief of the People". The child protagonist Jody writes about the birth, old age, illness and death of the horse, various labors, the process of moving westward, and the fate of the elderly in their old age.

The work exudes the earthy atmosphere of the countryside, intertwined with the subtle changes in children's mentality, achieving a refreshing and gratifying effect.

The story takes place on a seaside street in Monterey Bay, California before World War II. In the early 1940s, the production of canned sardines was the main feature here, so it was called Cannery Row. The central character of the novel is a marine biologist named "The Doctor". Being highly educated, he did not look down on his neighbors - gamblers, traders, prostitutes, and homeless people. In his eyes, these people were "very healthy and surprisingly clean." Another group of characters, Mark and his friends, are a group of penniless vagrants with no ideals or pursuits. They live happily in Cannery Row. Their lives are simple. They neither hide their desires nor let money corrupt their souls. They are sincere and helpful. The 1930s and 1940s were a turbulent decade in American history.
