These three works, including "The Diary of Guichou", "The Biography of Queen Inhyun" and "The Record of Hate", are the three masterpieces of Korean court women's literature and are called the Trilogy of Joseon Court Novels. "Guichou Diary" records the claustrophobic events in the West Palace of Gwanghaejun and Queen Inmok, Seonjo's step-concubine. The book "The Biography of Queen Inhyun" is based on the life of Queen Inhyun, the princess of King Sukjong of Joseon. It mainly tells and praises the life and virtues of Queen Inhyun. It also uses the story of Queen Inhyun and Jang Heibin to reveal the cruelty of the struggle inside and outside the Joseon court and the tragic experience of women. "The Biography of Queen Inhyun" is a very characteristic palace novel of the ancient Joseon Dynasty. It has delicate and vivid writing style, compact and orderly plot and fascinating story. It is a classic work of Korean classical novels. "Records of Hate" consists of four articles, which use a large number of court terms and the writing style is exquisite and smooth. These three works are all masterpieces of ancient Korean court literature and are of great value to the study of ancient Korean literature.

"The Diary of Izayoi" includes "Between a Dream", "The Diary of Izayoi" and "The Diary of Zhu Xiang", which are classics of medieval palace women's diary literature. The four works selected in this book were created during the one hundred years from the middle of the thirteenth century to the middle of the fourteenth century, which is equivalent to the middle and late Kamakura period to the early Northern and Southern Dynasties. The samurai family's encroachment on political power and the division of the country caused by the division of the royal family (the two successive regimes in Japan's Southern and Northern Dynasties era) have all turned the elegant and aloof aristocratic life of the Heian period into a dream. The authors of the diary lived in the setting sun era of aristocratic society. Therefore, on the one hand, the works maintain the tradition of aristocratic literature, and on the other hand, they inevitably bear the mark of the new era. Although the romance between men and women, the love between parents and children and court life are still important themes in medieval diaries, they also present a completely different spiritual outlook from the works of the previous era. They are always unwilling to accept their fate, bravely use their own actions to break difficulties, and actively look for ways to solve life's problems. This is very different from the protagonists of Heian Diary who are trapped in the concept of fate, passively accept the unsatisfactory life, and are unable to take steps to change. Medieval diarists expressed their unique understanding of the meaning of life by describing their lives in action.

"The Diary of Murasaki Shikibu" includes the classic diary literary works of court women in the Heian period, "The Diary of the Dragonfly", "The Diary of Izumi Shikibu", "The Diary of Murasaki Shikibu", "The Diary of the Gensho" and "The Diary of Sanuki Noshima". The Heian Period in Japan was a period in which Japan gradually formed its own culture and aesthetic taste after inheriting the Asuka and Nara Period, which absorbed Chinese culture. It was also the last period in Japanese history that was ruled by court nobles. Most of the aristocratic women in this period had good literary accomplishments. The heart is rich and the brushwork is delicate. From their pens, the palace diary literature written in female characters (kana script) was born, which can be regarded as the origin of Japanese women's literature. Most of these literary works take palace life as the main theme. Some depict elegant court life, while others describe elegant or bitter love experiences with officials from the emperor down to the imperial court. A common feature of these works is the author's strong self-awareness, which is not bound by traditional norms. The author's thinking about his own situation and destiny can be seen everywhere in the words. The focus on individual life experience in the work, especially the profound thinking on the meaning of life and the delicate psychological description, is not inferior even when compared with contemporary novels. Its strong introspection, full reflection of the author's inner spirit, and literary descriptive description directly inspired the tradition of "private novels" in modern Japanese literature.

This set of books is a series of Japanese and Korean court women's diary literature, including three volumes: "Record of Hate", "Murasaki Shikibu Diary" and "Izayoi Diary". "The Record of Hate" includes three major classics of women's literature in the Joseon Dynasty: "The Diary of Guichou", "The Biography of Queen Inhyun" and "The Record of Hate". The three heroines in the book are all concubines in the ancient Korean court. The three works all describe their arduous lives from the perspective of the protagonists themselves. As a work of a court person, this book comes from the protagonist's personal experience and is of great value to the study of the ancient Korean court system and court life. "The Diary of Murasaki Shikibu" includes the classic diary literary works of court women in the Heian period, "The Diary of the Dragonfly", "The Diary of Izumi Shikibu", "The Diary of Murasaki Shikibu", "The Diary of the Gensho" and "The Diary of Sanuki Noshima". Most of these literary works take palace life as the main theme. Some depict elegant court life, while others describe elegant or bitter love experiences with officials from the emperor down to the imperial court. "The Diary of Izayoi" includes "Between a Dream", "The Diary of Izayoi" and "The Diary of Zhu Xiang", which are classics of medieval palace women's diary literature. The four works selected in this book were created during the one hundred years from the middle of the thirteenth century to the middle of the fourteenth century, which is equivalent to the middle and late Kamakura period to the early Northern and Southern Dynasties.

A tear-jerking work comparable to "Coco", it is written for all of you and me who were once children, to understand the life that our mother has never told; the famous writer Bi Shumin wrote a loving preface, and was recommended by the queen of talk show Oprah in her special episode. "Almost everyone, no matter how happy they may appear on the outside, has a small place deep inside them where they hold a loved one who has passed away and longs to be reunited one day." - Mitch Albom. Let a long-dead relative spend another day with you. Only one day. If you can do it, do you need such an opportunity? The opportunity, at an awkward moment, fell to Charles Bennett. The retired baseball player could no longer find any reason to live amidst the frustration and alcohol consumption - his career was on the wall, his marriage was broken, he was addicted to alcohol, and his family was betrayed and separated. Even his daughter's wedding was unwilling to let him show up... Charles had the idea of ​​​​suicide. He thought that as long as a high-speed car and a selfless run, he could wave goodbye without taking away a single cloud. However, in the flash of lightning, his physical body wandered between this place and the other side; when he suddenly woke up, he actually saw his mother who died unexpectedly many years ago. Mitch Albom's perception of life is like an ever-growing seed. It sprouted in "Tuesday", drew a long arc in "Five People You Meet in Heaven", and firmly took root in "Reborn in a Day". The soil is the state of the world and the human heart, and the root is love.

"Literary Conference" is a novella by Argentinian writer Cesar Ella. It is also the work with the tightest story rhythm and the best reading experience in the "Cesar Ella Series". The style of "Literary Conference" is varied. It starts with an adventure and treasure hunt novel, then transitions into a science fiction novel. After transforming into a romantic literary and artistic work mixed with a thrilling and bizarre "drama within a drama", it finally reaches its climax in the form of a horror movie. Behind the seemingly bizarre story lies the author's thinking about life. He felt frustrated by the declining publishing industry and was full of ridicule for the arty "cultural people". The subtle and extremely poignant metaphors are hidden in the fantasy story, and there is a sense of appropriateness.

Gustafsson said frankly: "This is a book about pain. It depicts the journey to the end ruled by pain-under the pain, there is nothing else." When the snow and ice began to melt in winter, Lars Lennart Westin, a primary school teacher turned beekeeper, suspected that he had cancer and that he would not have much time left.
