Two sisters, Eleanor and Marianne, were born into an English squire family. After their father's death, the inheritance went to John, his son from his first marriage. They and their mother became financially strapped and, seeking to escape a life of dependency, set up home in a country house in Devon. As a result, Eleanor broke up with the young man Edward (brother of John's wife Fanny) whom she fell in love with, and Willoughby, whom Marianne met and fell in love with in the country, suddenly went to London for business. Both sisters were separated from their loved ones. Elinor often uses reason to control her emotions, but Marianne's emotions are passionate and exposed. In the face of love, the two reacted differently. The famous British literary writer and critic Keble commented that "Jane Austen is a comic artist" and believed that she was "second only to Shakespeare in terms of pure comic art." Thomas Macrolay, a famous British historian, poet and political commentator in the 19th century, called her "the Shakespeare of prose". As for the awakening of female consciousness reflected in Jane Austen's works, even today, more than two hundred years later, people's expectations for marriage still do not exceed its delineated scope-marriage is not a necessity in life. Marriage based on love is certainly beautiful, but if marriage is not for love, it is better to live alone.

This book is Tony Judt's oral memoir after he suffered from ALS. It is also the only work in which Judt talks about himself. In the silent nights where he could not move, Judt used space as a clue to search and organize past memories, and built a "memory house". He admitted that his writing during his illness basically came from his night visits to the memory cabin. He sometimes focuses on small things, describing his grandmother's Jewish cuisine, London's Green Line buses, and Swiss trains. Sometimes he looks at the wider world and talks about the farcical movements of the post-war generation in Western Europe, the ideological constraints of the era, and his own observations and participation in society. These words shuttle between the moving and the sharp, the private and the public, the specific history and the individual feelings of being involved in it. They trace not only the life course of a historian, but also the complex history of the 20th century. The "Works of Tony Judt" series also includes "Postwar European History", "Sickness Everywhere", "On Europe", "Thinking about the 20th Century: The Thoughtful Autobiography of Tony Judt", "The Burden of Responsibility: Bloom, Camus, Aron and France in the 20th Century", "The Unfinished Past: French Intellectuals, 1944-1956", "After Facts Changed", "Revaluing Values" (new edition to be released), etc.

These short words made people understand the chivalrous courage he had when he stepped forward resolutely.

Dongfang Bai slightly turned pale, and his father began to prepare his bags for the market. After finishing everything, he sat on the elevated stone next to the well in the courtyard, lit a dry cigarette, and took a deep breath. The smoke and breath spurted out, also slightly white, straight towards the persimmon tree in front of him. The smoke was divided into several strands by thick or thin branches, spread out, and dissipated. He is waiting for me.

"Water Margin", also known as "The Complete Story of Water Margin of Loyalty and Righteousness", is one of China's four great classics and the first chapter-style novel written in vernacular Chinese in the history of Chinese literature. The material of this book originates from the story of the peasant uprising led by Song Jiang in the late Northern Song Dynasty. Through storytelling, opera and other performance forms in the Jin and Yuan Dynasties, and through the artistic processing of many artists, it was compiled into scripts and dramas and was widely circulated among the people. During the late Yuan and early Ming dynasties, Shi Naian artistically processed these materials and wrote this book. "Water Margin" mainly tells the story of 108 upright and kind-hearted heroes who were forced to become bandits during the Huizong period of the Northern Song Dynasty due to the emperor's stupidity and corrupt officials who framed Zhongliang. These heroes gathered in Liangshan Mountain to punish evil and promote good under the banner of "doing justice for heaven, robbing the rich and giving to the poor", which dealt a heavy blow to the arrogance of the ruling class.

What is real reading? Is blindly reading one book after another really better than not reading at all? In the high-speed information age, more and more people have lost the original meaning and authentic happiness of reading. In this book, linguistics master Shihiko Sotoyama does not teach you how to quickly extract information from books, but asks you to calm down and rethink the direction and meaning of reading. Toyama Shihiko believes that reading should be divided into two types, one is α-type reading that reads known information, and the other is β-type reading that reads unknown information. He pointed out that although most people prefer relaxed and enjoyable α-type reading, challenging β-type reading is the best way for people to open their brains and gain new knowledge. After reading this book, you will find that the forgotten traditional reading methods such as "phonic reading", "primary reading" and "classical reading" are exactly the golden keys to help you open the door to beta-type reading.
