Caesar's masterpiece handed down from generation to generation, a classic work in Latin, is rich in connotation: military fans watch battles, historians discuss events, folklorists explore European humanities, strategists understand the way of kings and hegemons, and Caesar fans watch Caesar. By conquering Gaul, Caesar gained important political capital. Behind the simple and objective text of "The Gallic War" is a deliberate defense to fight back against Pompey, deceive the Senate, and create a personal image of a heroic and benevolent hero. The book is filled with pride in the Roman spirit, respect for the bravery and simplicity of the barbarians, and reflections on civilization.

"The Civil War" records the decisive war between Caesar and his old enemy Pompey from 49 BC to 48 BC. Pompey had the upper hand and was arrogant, pressing forward step by step. Caesar insisted on peace talks first and won public opinion and popular support. The plain and simple words in this book are very persuasive, and the seemingly long-winded sentences contain infinite meaning.

The decisive moment of the two heroes' struggle for hegemony was a fierce collision of the strategic thinking of the two military geniuses, leaving future generations with endless emotions of success and failure.

Haiku is an extremely important literary genre with Japanese characteristics, and Matsuo Basho is known as the "Saint Haiku". He is the first master of classical haiku and the haiku artist who pushed the art of haiku to its highest peak. Basho is to haiku what Du Fu is to Tang poetry. Basho's haiku not only inherits the classical tradition of Chinese poetry and Japanese waka, but also does not shy away from mixing in daily colloquialisms. It captures the essence of comedy and is full of the spirit of free creation. Basho is good at capturing the absolute loneliness in daily life and the colors of sound and fragrance in quiet moments, such as the fragrance of leaves when they are heated by sunlight in the morning and dusk, or the faint sound of cold water when a frog leaps into an ancient pond. The poet uses this to show a passionate glimpse of nature in the eternal flow of time. The spirit of mourning for things in later Japanese literature and the spiritual sensitivity to all things in nature were mostly influenced by it. In his writing, the harmony of elegance and vulgarity in haiku has reached an unprecedented height. This book selects more than 300 haiku sentences that Basho wrote throughout his life, arranges them chronologically, and includes the original text, pronunciation and brief notes to aid appreciation.

In this autobiographical meditation, Calvino turned to his past: the awkward childhood of traveling with his father, the lifelong love affair with the cinema, the memories of the anti-fascist war, the reflections on language, the perception of kitchen trash cans, and even the shape of the entire world. His reflections on the nature of memory are intelligent, fascinating, and brimming with a unique alchemical brilliance. The first "Road to St. John" is Calvino's detailed memories and descriptions of his hometown city of San Remo, showing the natural and cultural scenes of San Remo, as well as his early life experiences. "Autobiography of a Spectator" is actually about the author himself, mainly about his experience of secretly running away from home to watch movies in the years from 1936 to the outbreak of the war. It records the memories left in his mind by the movies from various countries screened in Italy at that time, as well as the impact of movies, mainly American movies, on the lives of Italians at that time. The second half of this article mainly writes about the perception of the works of the outstanding Italian director Fellini. You can explore the influence of film on his creations in this article. "Memories of a War" is Calvino's recollection of a war he participated in as a guerrilla after the war. The article didn't talk much about the details of the war, only the little things that the war left in his memory. This kind of memory actually has the nature of creative practice. "The Lovely Trash Can" starts from the trash can in the kitchen when the author lived in Paris, covering its use, location, emptying time, etc. It actually describes his life in Paris and can be regarded as Calvino's memories of that period of life. "In the Dark" is a possibly unfinished note. If asked about his understanding of the world and the universe, the author's understanding of concepts such as elements, matter, breadth, and thickness of the world is more like a worldview within the scope of philosophy. This article is of some help in understanding Calvino's cosmology and "The Curiosities of the Universe".

"Smoke: Argentine Ants" collects Calvino's two important novellas "Smoke" and "Argentine Ants". This is because they echo each other in a structural and moral sense. "Smoke" uses the style of a sociological essay or a secret diary to present the image and ideographic symbol of the world that people in modern industrial society face: smoke. The smoke of chemical waste that permeates industrial cities is omnipresent, elusive but oppressing mankind with unmistakable and terrifying power. In "Argentine Ants", the little rampant ants destroy all people's dreams and turn life into a painful swamp, which concretely embodies the disasters faced by modern society.

If on a winter night, a traveler leans out from the steep cliff on the outskirts of Malbork, not afraid of the cold wind or dizziness, and looks at the dark bottom.

He uses novels to build a maze and plays games with words and thoughts with you, the reader.

Among the bustling mirrors, have you seen Calvino's cunningness?

Calvino agreed that this book is "an autobiography written in the third person" and admitted that "any experience of Palomar is my experience."

He is obsessed with detailed observation of objective objects and their states, such as the waves of the sea, the shape of geckos, the moon, stars, and grass. He constantly asked himself various questions, such as sexual desire, death, people's situation in society, etc., And explored the relationship between people and the universe, the disorder and order of the world, and the language communication between people. Here, Calvino, incarnated as Palomar, conceals his final contemplation of the world in the narrative, penetrating the entire experience of life. Calvino passed away one year after the novel was published. What is significant is that the last chapter of "Palomar" is entirely devoted to the protagonist's meditation on death.

In the turbulent year of 1947, 23-year-old Calvino published his first novel: "The Path to the Spider's Nest". Everything that happens in the book is described through the eyes of the naughty boy Pien: war, sex, heroism, history...

A complete man is thus divided into half a villain and half a saint. "It's not just me who is torn and mutilated, but so are you, everyone," he said.

The narrative poem "Mad Orlando", also known as "Mad Roland", is a work imitating the medieval legend, a legend with an epic pattern. It follows Boyardo's long poem "Roland in Love". The story is based on the war between Charlemagne and the Saracens. It describes the love of Charlemagne's knight Roland for Princess Angelica of Cathay and the love between Ruggiero and Bradamanti. It cleverly weaves the love and adventure experiences of other knights and the stories of hundreds of characters (kings, monks, demons, fairies, etc.), Integrating narrative and lyrical, tragic and comic elements.

"Italian Fairy Tales" is a "fairy tale book for all Italy" that Calvino adapted from the folk tale materials recorded in various dialects across Italy for centuries and rewritten it in modern common Italian. It is suitable for all Italian people to read and can be easily introduced to the world. Here, Calvino calmly jumped into the sea of ​​stories, sifting through the traditions and myths scattered in the Italian folk countryside and restoring their original clean and simple appearance. In the two hundred stories, readers are exposed to a world with strong Italian characteristics: emperors and peasants, saints and devils, and strange animals and plants; some are humorous or simple, some are absurd or mysterious. Because of Calvino, "Italian Fairy Tale" stands at the same level as "Grimm's Fairy Tales", and its narrative text is more concise and outstanding.
