This book is Margaret Atwood's masterpiece novel. It is based on a notorious crime in the 1840s and tells an intricate but poetic story. At first glance, the novel is full of realistic narrative style, but as the plot progresses, the writing style naturally reverses, sex, murder and class conflict are mixed together, and the resin of imagination flows into the gaps of historical events. Through the switching of characters' perspectives, the story achieves a brilliant fragmentation effect. Evil and dignity, tragedy and beauty coexist, and reality and fiction coexist. The most extensive social picture of a specific era unfolds before us.

"The Life of Galileo" is a historical and philosophical drama, based on the life of the 17th-century Italian astronomer and physicist Galileo Galilei.

The subtitle of "Mom Courage and Her Children" is "Chronicle of the Thirty Years' War", and the background is the Thirty Years' War in Germany in the 17th century. Anna Fairling, known as the "Courageous Mother", took her two sons and a mute daughter, pulled a truck and hawked goods with the army. She regarded the war as a means of livelihood and a source of wealth. A soldier looked at her truck and prophesied: "Whoever wants to live on war will have to hand it over something." This woman, who placed all her hope in life on war, eventually ended up with her family and her family destroyed. This is the tragedy of a woman who was not afraid to take risks and was reckless in order to make a living during the war. The name "Mother Courage" comes from the 17th-century German novelist Grimmelhausen's picaresque novel "The Liar and the Wanderer Kulasche". The word "Courage" in the Baroque era meant the "scheming" of women to seduce men. In Brecht's writing, it means the "courage" necessary for little people to survive.

The sequel to Atwood's acclaimed "Oryx and Crake" and the second installment in the "Mad Adam" series. In "The Year of the Flood", the flood that mankind has long feared has finally arrived. This "waterless flood" had nothing to do with the biblical floods sent by God to sweep away evil and sin: it was a rapidly spreading disease that could not be suppressed by biological means, engulfing city after city like fire, turning the world into a slaughterhouse of corpses. This "flood" killed tens of millions of people and almost wiped out all traces of humankind. Ryan and Toby became the few survivors. In the shadow of a corrupt ruling power and the threat of a new genetically engineered species, Ryan and Toby must quickly decide their next move and not just lock themselves in a temporary safe house. The floods described in "The Year of the Flood" have nothing to do with the floods God sent to sweep away evil and sin in biblical stories. "The Year of the Flood" takes us into a weird world - both weird as the paintings of Hieronymus Bosch and as absurd as "A Clockwork Orange". Everything has fallen apart. In a sense, Atwood's new film is a companion piece to his 2003 film, Oryx and Crake.

The ending of the story is that the child was not awarded to his biological mother, but to the adoptive mother and maid.

And little "Blackbeard", the young Crake Man, under Toby's guidance, learned to record and tell stories, leaving them to the world after them.

"The Interpretation of Dreams" is a book by Sigmund Freud. This book pioneered Freud's "Dream Interpretation" theory and was described by the author himself as "a shortcut to understanding subconscious psychological processes." The book introduced the concept of the id and described Freud's subconscious theory for interpreting dreams. According to Freud, dreams are "wish fulfillments"-attempts to use the subconscious mind to resolve conflicts between parts. However, because subconscious information is unfettered and often embarrassing, the subconscious "censors" do not allow it to enter consciousness unaltered. In dreams, the preconscious is less relaxed than in waking life, but is still paying attention, and the subconscious is distorting its meaning in order to pass censorship. Likewise, images in dreams are often not what they appear to be and, according to Freud, require deeper explanation using the structure of the subconscious mind.

In 1789, young people from three provinces came to Paris, each with their own ambitions. The fingers of fate moved randomly on these three people, and the historical fate of a country changed: After Desmoulin, who suffered from a stutter, gave a generous speech that was like divine help, the excited people captured the Bastille. Danton's decisiveness became a symbol of the revolution - executing Louis XVI and commanding the fight against the European powers... However, Robespierre's eyebrows raised slightly, and the infamous Reign of Terror began. In 1793, the number of executions increased rapidly... Where will the revolution ultimately go? The sharp blade on the guillotine glowed coldly. In the turbulent tide of the French Revolution, the three of them each tasted the addictive joy of power, and at the same time had to pay a high price for it. Hilary Mantel combines accurate historical facts with rich imagination to describe aspects of the lives of the three protagonists - Danton, Robespierre and Camille - that are unknown to the world. Through the eyes of the three people, he recreates the collapse of the social and political system before the Revolution and various historical events at the peak of the Terror. From 1763 to 1794, hundreds of historical figures appeared on the stage, vividly recreating the magnificent revolutionary panorama in human history. Comparable to Alexandre Dumas and Dickens, Hilary Mantel used the keen sense of the 20th century to recreate the turbulent French Revolution of 1789; "A Safer Place" created a great marriage of literature and history. A Safer Place won the 1992 Sunday Express Novel of the Year Award.

"Glory" is a Russian novel written by Vladimir Nabokov, a recognized master of novels in the twentieth century. Later, he and his son Dmitry Nabokov jointly translated the book into English and published it in 1971. This is a beautiful book about growing up, a rare youthful "age of innocence" written by Nabokov. The protagonist Martin began his life of exile with his mother due to the Russian Revolution, and traveled to Greece, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, Germany and the south of France; he completed his self-growth along with the lingering love, and gradually walked out of the hesitation between courage and cowardice; he transformed from a dreamer and a daydreamer into an actioner and a realistic adventurer, heeding the call from the distant deep memory, obeying the guidance of inner impulse and romantic passion, crossing the border regardless of all, and finally gaining glory through practicing courage. This version was translated from Russian by the famous translator Shi Guoxiong, which retains the charm and beauty of the original text to the greatest extent.

At the end of the 18th century, on the eve of the French Revolution, the European continent was immersed in the atmosphere of "the storm is about to come". In order to bring light and hope to Spain under the autocratic imperial rule, two academicians of the Royal Academy of Spain, the short and fat librarian Don Hermogenes and the lean admiral Don Pedro Zarate, accepted the commission from their colleagues and went to Paris together to find and strive to secretly bring back the 28-volume Encyclopedia, which represents enlightenment and progress. In Spain at that time, the "Encyclopedia" had been included in the list of banned books by the Inquisition, so this book-hunting journey was destined to be full of dangers, and those who wanted to stop them were not only bandits, but also some colleagues from the Royal Academy of Spain. Through the perspective of two book hunters, combining historical facts and imagination, Spanish national writer Arturo Pérez-Revert will recreate the historical panorama of the turbulent times and turbulent undercurrents of France's Great Revolution.

"The God of Murder" is the representative play of French playwright Yasmina Reza. On an ordinary day, two 11-year-old boys had an argument in the park. The former broke the latter's mouth with a stick. This minor dispute over children brought together two couples who had never had any contact with each other. Starting from the negotiation of the child's injury, they uncovered the undercurrents surging under the surface of peaceful life one by one. The laughter, anger, and cynicism between families, between husbands and wives, and between men and women are not only doubts and refutations about the two cognitive concepts of civilization and roughness, but also the collision of Western values ​​​​: killing or peace, heroism or silence. After the release of "God of Killing", it has been performed in many countries around the world. The film of the same name adapted by Polanski won the 2011 Boston Film Critics Award for Best Ensemble, the 2011 Venice Film Festival Little Golden Lion Award, and the Caesar Film Festival Best Adapted Screenplay Award.

This book is selected from three mystery novel collections by Junichiro Tanizaki, totaling seven. "The Sadistic Incident in Japan" is about a masochistic murder incident. However, the so-called murder incident was not determined by the police, but the narrator's personal speculation based on news reports and related records. The protagonist "I" of "The Cursed Script" speculates about the death of the dramatist Sasaki's ex-wife Tamako in an accident. The protagonist of "Ghost Whispers in the Day" is Sonomura, who is tired of boring daily life and would rather risk being killed to get closer to the weird and foggy world. The narrator of the novel "I" is a student at the University of Tokyo. The private detective in "On the Road" found out the cause of death of Yu He's ex-wife through clever conversations with Yu He.

"Dark Revealed" is Golding's important masterpiece and won the James Tait Black Memorial Award, Britain's oldest and most prestigious literary award. This is a dark book illuminated by fire. The struggle between good and evil that continues from "Lord of the Flies" is placed in a modern context by the author, which is also mixed with religious fanaticism, terrorism, abnormal psychology and sexual behavior, and desperate attempts to escape from the world. Under the author's calm writing style, various characters move toward their own destined destinations, while also considering people's beliefs about themselves and the world. The novel profoundly reveals that the "darkness" of human nature not only exists deep in people's hearts, but also exists in the external modern world: "You have nowhere to escape."

"Pyramid" is Golding's important masterpiece. It is a masterpiece that deeply explores the possibility of love in a dark human nature and world. The novel is divided into three parts, which capture three fragments of the protagonist Oliver's life: the summer when he was eighteen years old, his first vacation at Oxford University, and his return to the old place at the age of forty-five. The structure of the novel is modeled on Beethoven's sonata design, which is extremely artistic and has profound implications: the theme that shines brightly on the top of this pyramid is "love": "Be kind when you get along with others; if you have love, you will live, if you don't love, you will die."

"Church Spire" is Golding's important masterpiece. It is a masterpiece that deeply explores the intricacies of human faith and despair, ideals and reality. Patriarch Jocelyn of the Cathedral of the Blessed Virgin Mary felt a real call from the Lord to build a church steeple four hundred feet high for the glory of the Lord. He naively thought that as long as he was "pious" and had a firm "will", God would definitely help him build a spire that reaches heaven from the ground. Of course, the result was a complete failure. In "Church Spire", Golding places the hope of mankind in seeking an ideal state, and also reveals the real living conditions in which ideals are eventually shattered; noble aspirations and ugly reality, the struggle for good and sinful desires are intertwined; through the intertwined images of absurdity and reality, and the artistic technique of using both symbol and metaphor, the author profoundly reveals the truth of human nature and society.

"Soliloquy" is a collection of short stories published by Beauvoir in 1967. Among Beauvoir's published essays, novels, autobiographies and letters, it belongs to her later literary creation. The three short stories included all have women as the protagonists. Among them, "A Sensible Age" tells the story of a middle-aged professional woman's dissatisfaction with her son's marriage and career future; "Soliloquy" is the entire story of a single mother's ramblings, but underneath the nervous words is the pain of her little daughter's suicide; "The Exhausted Woman" uses the form of a diary to show the psychological journey of a housewife coping with her husband's extramarital affair. From this, Beauvoir depicts three women in crisis: one claims to be a good mother and tries to control everything; one is full of resentment and worry about her family and children; one is abandoned by her husband and has no idea what to do. The collection of novels has important sociological significance and is Beauvoir's reflection on women's fate and living conditions.

"The Mousetrap" tells the story of a murder that occurred at No. 24 Pigeon Street, West Second District, London, on a snowy afternoon in the winter of 1948.

After being kicked out of the house, Pinzi, who was not liked by her husband Zhuang Zao and her mother-in-law, came up with a clever plan to return to the family: she wrote to her husband's second wife Fuzi, asking for the family cat Lily to be given to her. Lily is Zhuang Zao's favorite cat, and they eat and sleep together. Fuzi also complains about Zhuang Zao's obsession with cats, and joins forces with her mother-in-law to force Zhuang Zao to give the cat to Pinzi. Pinzi finally conquered Lily, and her husband followed suit as expected... Cats are like women, women are like cats, and the men who are at a loss among them are a vivid family comedy that makes people laugh.
