In a small restaurant, he met Diana, a middle-aged waitress and British literature-loving waitress.

The Hollywood movie "The Last Tycoon" based on the book stars "Peacock" Matt Bomer and Lily Collins. This book is the ninth volume of Fitzgerald's collected works.

In this unfinished work, the author seems to have combined two novels into one work: it is both a "psychological novel" describing Munroe Starr's personal struggle and spiritual experience, and a "social novel" that reflects the real scenes of Hollywood and exposes the dark inside story of the film industry. With his extremely high literary talent and extraordinary ability to control materials, the author organically integrates two creative ideas, giving this novel a strong shock and tragic effect.

"Caesar and Christ" is the third volume of the "The Story of Civilization" series of "Utopia Classics Hall". The fall of the Roman Empire was neither due to the invasion of barbarians nor the rise of Christianity. In fact, when the barbarians invaded and Christianity flourished, only an empty shell remained of the Roman Empire. The basic reasons for the decline of the Roman Empire lay in its people, its moral ethos, class struggles, the decline of commerce, bureaucratic despotism, heavy taxation, and costly wars. By taking a panoramic view of the intricate activities, we can compare each stage or aspect of each situation with our own cultural trajectory in terms of time and causes, and learn from each other. This "Caesar and Christ" can also be said to be about our own history.

"Renaissance" is the fifth volume of the "The Story of Civilization" series of "Utopia Classics Hall". From Petrarch to Machiavelli, from Leonardo da Vinci to Michelangelo, Italians are tired of original sin, recognize the health and loveliness of life, praise joy, and no longer care about death. The sunshine of the Italian spirit penetrated the thick fog of the north, liberating men and women from the prison of medieval fear, admiring beauty in all its forms, filling the air with the joy of resurrection. This great revival lasted for centuries. It was not until the 16th century that the Renaissance withered in Italy, and revival blossomed in France, Germany, the Netherlands, England and Spain. The Renaissance is not a period in time, but a way of life and thought that spread from Italy to all of Europe through the influence of commerce and war.

"The Age of Reason Begins" is the seventh volume of the "Utopia Classics Museum" series "The Story of Civilization". The period from the accession of Elizabeth I to the end of the Thirty Years' War is a key chapter in understanding modern Europe. Its basic development was the rise of nation-state sovereignty, and the decline of theology and papal power. The results of the Reformation began to appear in European countries. Disputes continued between countries and among various religious factions within the country. The whole of Europe was involved in the terrible "Thirty Years' War." Amid the rift of faith collapse, more and more people are turning to science and philosophy to explore the answers to life. This is the era of Shakespeare, Rembrandt, and Cervantes, as well as the era of Bacon, Galileo, Bruno, and Descartes. It is an era of radiant humanity and an era of rational awakening. The battle between faith and reason that is changing the hearts of Europe and even the world is rising.

"Heritage of the East" is the first volume of the "Story of Civilization" series of "Utopia Classics Hall".

"The Age of Faith" is the fourth volume of the "The Story of Civilization" series of "Utopia Classics Hall". The medieval era from AD 325 to 1300 saw the convergence and excitement of four different cultures: Byzantium, Islam, Judaism and Western Europe. Vast areas of the world continued to live under the banner and rule of faith, while Western Europe sailed into a remote sea of ​​reason. People in the Middle Ages were first victims of barbarism, then became barbaric conquerors, and then became the creators of new civilizations. The end of the completely rich phase of its civilization in the Middle Ages was the basis of the Renaissance and the Reformation. The medieval legacy contains both good and evil. We have not recovered from the Dark Ages. In this sense, modernization is a coat worn on medievalism.

"The Age of Napoleon" is the final work of the "Utopia Classics Hall" series "The Story of Civilization". Of course, Napoleon was an unprecedented dictator, and he was also the most magical dreamer and practitioner in human history. Let us preserve our freedom! Let's preserve equality! Europe moved forward for half a century under his 15-year rule. However, Napoleon always worked hard to convince the people to accept his definition of political freedom: regular referendums whose results must be in favor of enlightened despotism. He said: "Power is my mistress. I have worked hard to conquer her, and I will never allow others to take her away from me, not even to woo her..."

"The Age of Voltaire" is the ninth volume of the "The Story of Civilization" series of "Utopia Classics Hall".

This book depicts a group of thinkers headed by Voltaire. Our relative freedom of thought, speech, and belief today is all thanks to the Enlightenment thinkers of the 18th century. The Enlightenment liberated the human heart and mind, and its results are still with us today.

"Religious Reform" is the sixth volume of the "The Story of Civilization" series of "Utopia Classics Hall". Abstain from entertainment, burn dissidents, and attack literature and art... The Reformation denounced the joy of the Renaissance, believed that worldly achievements and joys were of no benefit, and that life was nothing but a vale of tears, and called sinners to convert to faith, repent and pray. It was almost medieval reaction. Yet, despite all its intolerance, the Religious Revolution made a contribution to the Enlightenment: it undermined the authority of dogma and allowed for vigorous debate among different voices. In these disputes, in attack and defense, all orders and authorities weakened, and a hundred years after Luther cried out for faith, Francis Bacon declared that knowledge is power.

"Rousseau's Revolution" is the 10th volume of the "The Story of Civilization" series of "Utopia Classics Hall". Rousseau was the direct ideological promoter of the French Revolution. He created nothing but burned everything. "Rousseau and the Revolution" depicts a panoramic view of Europe from the "Seven Years' War" to the French Revolution. With Rousseau as the central figure, Durant vividly narrates the growth of intellectuals, the transformation of moral concepts and social order, the rise and fall of autocratic rule, the disenchantment of religion and the emergence of democracy in the 18th century. At the same time, he provides biographies of countless brilliant figures who emerged in this era.

So far, it has sold more than 5 million copies in Europe. The film of the same name premiered at the Venice Film Festival in September 2010. Mattia is a young mathematical genius who believes that he is one of the prime numbers, and that his middle school classmate Alice is his twin prime number. They all have painful pasts, are equally lonely, and are equally unable to close the distance with other people. From adolescence to adulthood, their lives continue to intersect, trying to eliminate the obstacles that exist between them, influencing each other and being separated from each other, like twin prime numbers, close to each other but never able to get close.

The film of the same name stars Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet, their second collaboration ten years after "Titanic". The protagonists of the novel, Frank and April Wheeler, live in the suburbs of Connecticut. The road they live on is called "Revolutionary Road." That was still 1955. Frank (also meaning "confession") is not straightforward at all, and lively April (also meaning "April") will soon wither in the autumn. The days on the revolutionary road were dramatic. The novel begins with a performance and ends with a performance, with one performance after another in between. Frank and April confront their dissatisfaction and fears about life, try to balance pregnancy and ambition, and dream of escaping the same years. But as Yates himself said: "The characters in my works are all within the limitations of their known and unknown. They want to be the best and do what they can't help but do, but in the end they inevitably fail because they can't help but go back to who they are."

In 2011, with the best-selling book "The Loneliness of Prime Numbers", Paolo Giordano, an Italian post-80s Ph. D. In physics, made Chinese readers remember him. In fact, "The Human Body" came five years after his debut novel "The Solitude of Prime Numbers" was published in Italy. During these five years, Giordano has been looking for the subject of his next book. It wasn't until he followed the troops to the front line of the war in Afghanistan that the short ten days left a very impactful impression on him and he made a friend of his own age. He found what he really wanted to write about - in fact, every generation will experience its own war. "The Human Body" is a novel about "war", but it does not stop at the literal "war". In addition to the smoke-filled battlefield, Giordano touches more on invisible wars between people, emotional wars, and wars between families... Every character in the book has experienced a painful transformation, from young people who are inexperienced in the world to eventually finding themselves transformed into adults who are unfamiliar to themselves, and have to bear responsibilities that they do not want or are not ready to bear.
