"A Long Journey" describes the story of the heroine Natsuko traveling with her husband who has a brain disease. Natsuko lives in an originally wealthy family. After their mother and brother spent all their savings, they pinned their hopes on Natsuko. However, Natsuko married herself early to a man that both her mother and brother looked down upon. The novel begins with a two-day lobbying session between Natsuko and her husband. Trivial plots are mixed with past family memories. These memories reproduce the depression and pain Natsuko experienced, allowing readers to understand the internal reasons why the protagonist gradually becomes satisfied with real life. Although her husband was ill, Natsuko not only did not hate him, but instead strengthened her own value in life through this trip. It vividly describes the declining Japanese society: Although the mother and younger brother have suffered family decline, they still cling to the glory and luxury of the past; although the protagonist works hard to take care of her husband who has limited mobility, he is content and free in his heart. Another piece included in the book, "Ninety-nine Kisses," describes sisterly emotions. The younger sister Nanako ("I") has deep feelings for her sisters. This feeling seems to be disturbed by S, who the sisters fell in love with at the same time. But at the end of the story, "I" once again strengthened her belief that the stability of her relationship with her sisters will not be weakened by the appearance of her lover.

On March 20, 1995, the subway sarin incident occurred in Japan that shocked the world. After the incident, Haruki Murakami personally spent a year interviewing people who had witnessed the incident, conducted audio-recorded interviews, and added necessary text processing to compile and compile this book "Underground". This is a documentary literary work by Haruki Murakami tracking the subway sand forest incident. The description is realistic. It is also Haruki Murakami's first non-fiction work, which is of great significance. "Underground" is Haruki Murakami's transformational work, his first full-length documentary work, and a profound reflection on Japan's "responsibility-avoiding closed society." "Underground 2" is Haruki Murakami's second documentary work after "Underground". Most of the space is the shady story of the cult dictated by former cult members. It is as detailed, realistic and shocking as "Underground". In search of healing, why did they create "Subway Sarin", an indiscriminate killing without redemption? Why do they find it difficult to live a normal life in this world? Where is the dream country they pursue? Thorough interviews with Aum believers and unguarded conversations with Mr. Hayao Kawai reveal the dark side of the heart enveloped by modern society.

Perhaps in this sense, "Underground" is more successful than "1Q84".

"The Solitude of Prime Numbers" is the debut novel of Paolo Giordano, an Italian post-1980s writer with a doctorate in particle physics. After it was published in 2008, it won the Strega Prize, Italy's highest literary award, and quickly became a super bestseller in Europe and the United States. 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.

In the 1920s, the young American writer David and his wife Catherine went from Paris to the Mediterranean seaside in southern France for their honeymoon, indulging in a romantic sex life. David wanted to continue writing, but his wife just wanted to have fun in time. She asked a hairstylist to shorten her hair. She even encouraged her husband to fall in love with the foreign girl Marita after marrying her. The three of them got involved in a dangerous sex game. But the "good times" didn't last long. Because Marita supported David's writing, Catherine became jealous and resentful. She burned his manuscript and left a letter to leave. Under Marita's care, David's literary thoughts surged, and he rewrote one of his favorite short stories word for word, and returned to the "Garden of Eden". This is Hemingway's posthumous work published after his suicide in 1961. Although it was written in his later years when his body was declining, the whole book is full of vitality and love, making it a rare youth novel.

In 1844, Dickens took a break from the hard work of novel writing and took his family to France and Italy for a vacation. He originally planned to take a few months' rest, but actually stayed in Italy for nearly a year. They visited some of Italy's most famous sites: Genoa, Rome, Naples (where Mount Vesuvius was still smoldering), Florence and Venice. In his travel notes, Dickens described a country of great contrast: the majestic architecture and the decay of the city, and the daily life of contemporary people next to ancient ruins. What interested him most was the colorful street life in Italy, especially the costumes, cross-dressing and vitality of the Roman Carnival.

Introduction to "Doctor Zhivago (Part 1)": Zhivago, a surgeon who was born into a family of intellectuals, served in the Tsarist army during World War I. He saw the weakness and incompetence of the Tsarist army and the corruption of the old army. His intelligent mind foresaw the maturation of the revolutionary power. He expected that the revolution would bring new life to the country and the people, and supported the new regime with positive actions. However, the harsh reality of the civil war and the subsequent implementation of a series of policies by the new regime made this honest and upright old intellectual develop deep doubts and fears about violence and centralization, and he was under tremendous pressure in a forced and systematic double life. He praised the simple and tranquil Russian quality and yearned to live a quiet life and do meaningful work; but this ideal of life, as well as his difficult and beautiful love with Lala, were ultimately not tolerated by the harsh reality.

A collection of representative works by 2018 Nobel Prize winner Olga Tokarczuk. "House by Day, House by Night" tells the story of a border town, from the first pioneering knifemaker who settled here to the heroine and her husband moving to this countryside, the same land has different historical moments and different life migrations over the millennium. Various legendary figures appear here: a saint with a beard, a monk with a gender inversion, an alcoholic with a bird living in his body, a small-town teacher who transforms into a werewolf, an old lady with a wig who can hibernate, a woman who collects dreams on the Internet... The human world has undergone changes and ups and downs for thousands of years, but for the land, people's joys and sorrows, and the changes in people's generations are just a fleeting dream of the land. This is a wonderful novel that mixes multiple genres and intersperses multiple story lines. Short stories, essays, folk tales, hagiographies, and even recipes and notes are intertwined and presented. Each story is an exquisite short story, and when connected together, it becomes a wonderful novel full of foreshadowing and echoes. "The Ancient Times and Other Times" is a famous work by the famous contemporary Polish writer Olga Tokarczuk. The novel has a total of 84 chapters, each chapter is named after "xxx time". It tells the story of various characters in ancient times, even animals, plants and things, from different perspectives: a girl who touches the border of the world, a landowner addicted to puzzle games, a lonely housewife, an old woman who curses the moon, and even angels, water ghosts, pugs, mycelium, small coffee grinders... The life stories of three generations reflect the turbulent historical destiny of Poland in the 20th century. Primeval is a place, located at the center of the universe. Its four borders are guarded by four angels. The world beyond the ancient times does not exist. People who think they have stepped out of the ancient times are actually standing on the border and dreaming that they have entered the outside world. When they wake up, they go home and regard their dreams as memories. Borders also produce ready-made people, as if they came from the outside world...

From January to June 1842, Dickens, who was only thirty years old, accepted the invitation of the famous American writer Washington Irving and other friends to travel to the United States. The long travelogue and feature "Notes on a Travel in America" ​​is the main result of Dickens's visit to the United States. During this trip, he visited big cities such as Boston, New York and Philadelphia on the east coast, went south to Richmond, west to St. Louis, and north to Montreal, Canada. During the journey that lasted for half a year, the young writer had extensive contact with people from all walks of life in the United States, from the president to the coachman, through visits, interviews, public gatherings and private meetings, and recorded the writer's experiences, observations and perceptions one by one. Dickens both admired and criticized this vibrant young republic. In particular, Dickens observed and criticized the rough and vulgar American style, the overly strong atmosphere of profit-seeking, the barbaric slavery system, and the brutal conquest of Indians. This was exactly the same as Mark Twain, the equally acerbic American writer who was dedicated to describing the Gilded Age. The trip to North America also became an important source of inspiration for the novel "Martin Qu Shuwei".

From 1843 to 1848 (except 1847), Dickens published a novella every Christmas, a total of five novels, which were published together under the name "Christmas Stories". These novels are by no means purely episodic works; they focus on the author's dream of reconciling social contradictions and his emotions of sadness and disappointment. Just take the most famous "A Christmas Carol" as an example. The story describes a stingy old businessman who is led by three ghosts on Christmas Eve to see the kindness of the poor and the fate of the cruel people, and then becomes a generous and kind person. ..."A Christmas Story" is deeply rooted in the hearts of the British people, and the characters in it are almost household names. Many critics believe that its publication marked a period of prosperity for Dickens's creation.

"The last knight of German Romanticism" and winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature, Hesse's new 10-volume anthology, translated by famous writers, includes novels, short and medium-length works, poetry, prose, fairy tales and paintings, comprehensively displaying Hesse's creative career. The novel "Natchez and Goldmund" is Hesse's masterpiece published in 1930. It describes the life experiences of a pair of friends who represent rational asceticism and erotic sensual hedonism. The young novice monk Narcissus in the monastery is extremely talented and is deeply loved by Dean Daniel. The new student Goldmund was obsessed with secular life. Although they became friends, Goldmund ignored Narcissus' rational preaching and secretly went to the village to have a tryst with the girl. Then he escaped from the monastery and wandered around, experiencing joy and hardship. His wanderings made him gradually mature, but he was later sentenced to death for falling in love with the governor's mistress. Narcissus, who became the abbot of the monastery, rescued him from prison and let him specialize in sculpture. Goldmund went out to march again, and fell seriously ill on the way. Narcissus expressed his friendship to him before his death, making him die happily. The novel expresses the conflict between two different human natures and achieves harmonious unity in the process of exploring ideals; some critics call it "a beautiful Faust variation that combines knowledge and love."

This book is Hemingway's second "hunting book" and is the best book for readers to experience Hemingway's unique charm up close.

"Hemingway's Letters (1917-1961)" will present one of the most interesting letter writers in history. As the most well-known writer among all Nobel Prize winners for literature in the past century, Hemingway's public image and legendary life have long been known through his works, but these private letters that are unfamiliar to the world have made a new Hemingway emerge. Carlos Baker, an expert on Hemingway, selected nearly 600 letters written between the age of 18 and his death in more than 40 years from the voluminous letters Hemingway left to the world. In the letters, Hemingway used "private" language outside of his works to express his feelings frankly. He honestly revealed himself to all kinds of people - family, friends, rivals, editors, and almost every famous writer of the time - and recorded every aspect of his life and writing career. It is not an exaggeration to call him the most interesting letter writer of all time. The letters selected for the work not only record the turning points of the writer's life, but also reveal his character and wisdom, as well as his special hobbies for hunting, fishing, eating, etc. The humor and wildness it reveals far exceed his works, and it can be called an unconventional autobiography of a writer.

These letters not only serve as a guide and reading pleasure for general readers, but also provide those who seriously study literature with the original documents needed to examine the life and achievements of one of the giants of American literature in the twentieth century.

Although we have never had the opportunity to experience such an era of shocking wealth, we know very clearly what "young people are exhausted both mentally and physically early - they live a difficult and exhausted life at the age of twenty-one, and no one contributes anything." Something new..." He revealed the essence of New York as a model of a modern cosmopolitan city: "... Behind the vast amount of entertainment that the city pours into the country, there are just many people who are both lost and lonely. The world of movie actors is similar to our own world in that it is in New York, but it is not New York. It has almost no self and no core..."
