With his father's rough love, Coates walked out of the bloodshed on the streets, the violence in the school, and the depraved desires, and moved from darkness to light. This is a family epic fighting against life and an American fable fighting against reality.

In American society, people often use terms such as "hillbilly" to describe white blue-collar workers struggling to survive in difficult circumstances. "What is more terrifying than poverty is the loss of hope" is the most serious problem faced by this group. In "Hillbilly Elegy," J. D. Vance provides a true account of the effects of social, regional, and class decline on those who are born into it. Vance's maternal grandparents moved north from the Appalachian region of Kentucky to Ohio, hoping to escape the horrific poverty. They worked their way into the middle class, culminating in their grandchildren graduating from Yale Law School, a traditional sign of successful generational upward mobility. As the family story slowly unfolds, we discover that Vance's grandparents, aunts, uncles, sisters, and, most importantly, his mother, all struggled to adapt to the demands of middle-class life without ever fully escaping drug abuse, alcoholism, poverty, and trauma. Vance grew up in such a chaotic and heartbreaking environment, but it was the love and loyalty of these "rednecks" that made him what he is today. Taken together, there are only a handful of cases like the author's that have successfully escaped poverty. The majority of white blue-collar Americans are still unable to get rid of hereditary poverty and hardship, as if it is an innate shackle that is firmly around their necks. What is the reason that prevents them from finding a suitable way out in the United States, a country that prides itself on freedom? "Hillbilly Elegy" is an extremely moving memoir that contains vivid characters and many humorous elements. It records what it is like for a generation to be upwardly mobile, and also reflects on the phenomenon of a large number of people losing the American dream. This book is also a profound social commentary. Through the author's growth story and experience, from the perspective of an "insider", it leads us to have a more macro perspective and deeply explore the difficulties and crises faced by the American blue-collar class.

"Sorrow in Belgium" is set against the backdrop of World War II, and uses the perspective of an eleven-year-old boy, Louis, to outline a picture of social turmoil and complex and radical images of the years. Louis was originally a sensitive boy who loved fantasy, but the reality of war and Nazi rule forced him to face the dramatically changed world around him: alienation from relatives and neighbors, fanatical speculators; lies breed, betrayal runs rampant, and an atmosphere of sadness permeates the world and human emotions. Louis observed these changes, moving in and out of different camps while experiencing his own adolescent restlessness. Faced with various trials of lust and death, can he obtain final redemption? Hugo Kraus used his strength that blended frankness and passion, and with the subtlety of sarcasm, to truly restore the psychological waveform of an adolescent boy. Whether it's the rushing momentum of the stream of consciousness, the wild imagery, or the brilliant fantasy colors, the novel is always filled with unruly teenage feelings. In any era that falls apart, there is always a light that survives. Louis is this faint ray of light, the survival and growth of a spirit that cannot be destroyed by the violence of war.

This book is the 46th issue of Classics and Interpretation, and its topic is "Ethics in Aesop's Fables." In ancient Greek tradition, Aesop is said to have been a Greek stranger (a Thracian or a Phrygian) who was extremely ugly and lived in the sixth century BC. He was first a slave on the island of Samos, but eventually won his freedom through his wisdom and explanatory skills. Regardless of whether this character actually existed, by the fifth century BC, we have begun to see that various legends about an extraordinary life and death experience have begun to crystallize around the character of Aesop. At the same time, the "lower" genre of "fables" began to be attributed to Aesop, and he began to be regarded as the maker and founder of fables. Within this tradition, Aesop's connection to pre-philosophical systems of wisdom is curiously dual: for he appears to both participate in the realm of higher intelligence and to criticize or parody higher intelligence from "below." Since the invention of philosophy itself is complexly related to these earlier "wisdom" traditions-philosophy simultaneously strives to "borrow" from these traditions and to distinguish itself from them; therefore, in terms of its dual connection with this wisdom tradition, the figure of Aesop is very useful to philosophy. Tracing the connection between "Socratic" philosophy and Aesop and Aesop's fables will enable us to directly confront many problems of form, style and content. That is, I argue that there is a hidden, Aesopian thread in the genealogy of Greek prose writing.

Aristophanes was an outstanding dramatist in ancient Greece and is known as the "Father of Comedy". His works touched on all major political and social issues at that time, reflecting the social life during the crisis period of Athens' slave-owning democracy.

Regardless of the memories of travelers or lovers, the original nature of memories has become clear for the first time.

The mind is the source and place of this thing, its structure and voice, which throws us into intimacy that takes on various forms, such as calmness and poverty, gentleness and nobility, grace and selflessness, tolerance and forbearance.

Theme of this issue: Shakespeare in political philosophy. Shakespeare serves as an educational resource, providing essential lessons concerning human virtue and the earnest desire for a noble life.

People see a richer and more colorful world through Shakespeare's eyes. One focus of the articles in this collection is the role of political philosophy in Shakespeare criticism. For example: What does Shakespeare think of good government and good rulers? What kind of king will Hamlet become? Is the tragedy of "Macbeth" based on the tension between heroic warrior ethics and gospel law? Perhaps if Macbeth could find a way to turn his hope for a kingdom of heaven on earth into a political project, into what we call an ideology, Macbeth might become the prototype of the modern tyrant. And can "The Tempest" be regarded as Shakespeare's best effort to give a certain philosophical expression to an idea - an idea hidden in his teachings on moral and political life?

The period in English history in which Shakespeare wrote is indicative of his interests. From 1399 when Richard II exiled the quarreling Earls of Hereford and Maubury to 1485 when Earl of Richmond defeated Richard III at the Battle of Fortsworth and established the Tudor dynasty as Henry VII, there was a long period of dynasty change. These dynastic changes were written by Shakespeare into his so-called two sets of tetralogy. The first tetralogy includes "Richard II", "Henry IV" (Part 1 and 2) and "Henry V". The second tetralogy includes "Henry VI" (Parts 1, 2 and 2) and "Richard III". These eight plays illustrate England's bloodiest century: the Civil War years.

After the institute closed, these geniuses were left behind. These geniuses know everything: about the truth about the events in the Russian Revolution, about who the revolutionary leaders were and how their life trajectories changed, about whether God was involved in the changes in the historical trajectory, about the intricate relationships between the great figures of the past era...

The same goes for "Before and Now."
