This dream is as wonderful as heaven to them, and as far away as heaven. It's a pity that the light of fate failed to shine into the cruel reality at the bottom. "Pearl" is like a fable, exuding a sharp edge that penetrates reality.

White Nights (a Golden Classic of Russian Literature)

G

It is necessary for us to look at Dostoevsky from another angle. If we read his short stories and short stories carefully, we will find that they have a significant impact on him and the world. The three stories included in this collection are among them classics. "White Nights" (1848) is one of the most important masterpieces of the writer's early period (before his exile). Do these four unforgettable white nights leave an eternal and beautiful feeling in the dreamer's heart? Will he find a way out of the conflict between romantic dreams and harsh reality? --The author leaves this question to the reader. "The Little Hero" (1849) is also a love story that takes place in the summer, where dreams and reality are at war. It is worth noting that this is the only complete work written by Dostoevsky while he was in prison before his exile. Therefore, it has incomparable significance. It makes people curious. What did Dostoevsky, a political prisoner at the time, want to tell readers or himself through this childhood memory? Regarding this question, the author once said: "Read it, do you see resentment and pain in that story? It was me who had a peaceful and beautiful dream." The protagonist "The Ridiculous Man" in "The Dream of a Ridiculous Man" (1877) is also a lonely dreamer. He thinks that he is the only one who knows the truth: it doesn't matter whether the world exists or not, it doesn't matter whether people exist or not, and it doesn't matter whether all the problems in society exist, so the problems will disappear. These three articles and "Notes from the Basement" can be connected into a vertical section, charting the evolution of the typical character "Dreamer" and confirming the mental journey of the protagonist in the writer's novel. Dostoevsky is a master of depicting lonely souls and portraying dreams and illusions. He throws these very modern problems of spiritual emptiness and alienation into every reader who is suffering from "modern diseases".

A collection of Dostoevsky's early short stories and short stories, which describe the various aspects of the world of little people; it deeply explores the human nature of the human heart and the ultimate expression of various personalities; Wang Xiaobo wholeheartedly recommends "Nedochka", Mr. Rong Rude's classic translation, which includes exquisite illustrations. "Notes from the Underground" is a collection of short stories and short stories by the great Russian writer Fyodor Dostoevsky, including "Mr. Prohalchin", "The Landlady", "Nedo Chika", "Little Hero", "Trouble in the Manor" and "Notes from the Underground". "Mr. Prokharchin" and "The Landlady" are Doshi's earliest novellas. They respectively tell the life of a buffoon character, Mr. Prokharchin, and the story of a tenant who is obsessed with the landlady. They reflect Doshi's concern for the fate of little people. "Nedochka" is Doshi's first attempt at a full-length novel. Unfortunately, the story could not be completed. Even so, the tragic fate of the orphan girl Niedochka still moves countless readers. "Little Hero" tells the emotional twists and turns of a young man's first love affair, while "The Affair in the Manor" revolves around an anecdote about the reversal of master and servant identities at the farm inherited by Rostanev. In these two stories, the flattering, fickle, entangled and even self-destructive side of human nature is more clearly displayed to readers. "Notes from the Underground" is the most important novella in Doshi's middle period. Through the description of the "basement people" who want to do things that are not good for themselves, it vividly depicts people's complex, contradictory and even almost abnormal psychological states, which embodies all of Doshi's artistic features. Therefore, "Notes from the Underground" is also regarded as a sign that Doshi's thoughts and creations have entered a mature period, and it is the "general outline" of the five subsequent novels of Doshi.

An Italian national treasure literary master, the literary idol of a series of female writers such as Sally Rooney; a work about destruction in silence, examining class, wealth and marriage with a forensic gaze; she does not care about men, she just tells women's stories, a new model of female voices; if Ferrante is a friend, then Ginzberg is a mentor. This book contains three of Ginzburg's works, "Valentino", "Mother" and "Sagittarius". Valentino is handsome and studying medicine. In his father's dream, he will become the chief physician of the hospital in the future; in his mother's dream, he will marry a beautiful woman. Only his sister Caterina saw his true face: lazy, vain, spoiled by everyone. When Valentino gets engaged to the wealthy but ugly Maddalena without warning, his parents' dream begins to fall apart. As a person excluded from life, Caterina can only be an audience, waiting for the day when it is her turn to become the protagonist? So, she told us everything in a calm and specific sarcastic tone. In this novella published in 1957, we can see the writing art of Natalia Ginzburg: she is good at using a simple and colloquial narrative to weave together seemingly trivial events, thereby revealing the power and despair of life. The same technique also appears in the novella "Sagittarius" of the same year, and in the 1948 short story "Mother", which is full of dramatic tension. Between those trivial glitches, innocuous little quirks, trivial conversations and subtle actions, Ginzberg constructs pages of incomparably fresh, vivid and bright pages.

[Lovecraft's enlightenment work, the source of inspiration for the Cthulhu Mythos! Hastur, the Great Old One, appears! ] Robert Chambers was born in 1865. He studied painting throughout his life, wrote horror novels in his early years, and changed to historical novels in his later years. Whether it is painting or writing, he has achieved some achievements, but he will never be famous in history. Originally, such a person would be forgotten by people after his death and disappear into the torrent of history. It happened that the book "The King in Yellow" he wrote in his early years deeply inspired a reader: H. P. Lovecraft. "The King in Yellow," a series of indirectly connected short stories with the same background - a strange forbidden book that invites panic, madness and horrific tragedy when read carefully... I was deeply impressed by the strange and terrifying elements Mr. Chambers used in this work. However, he failed to continue It's a pity to develop in this field - it is not difficult to become a world-famous master with his talent. "The King in Yellow" was written in 1895, and when Lovecraft began to write his horror literature in 1914, he had Chambers and Poe in his mind. Out of love, Lovecraft introduced this mysterious figure in yellow robes named "Hasta" in many of his stories. Many people mistakenly believe that the "King in Yellow" is a character written by Lovecraft, but this is not the case. Chambers may still be unknown and few people remember him, but "The King in Yellow" has followed the rise of Cthulhu culture and stood in front of the world again.

Selected Novels of Chekhov Translated by Ru Long (translation Series by Chinese Translators)

"Selected Novels of Chekhov" is the essence of Anton Chekhov's (1860-1904) novels. Chekhov is good at capturing the absurdity and depth of human nature in trivial daily life: the hypocrisy of bureaucrats ("Chameleon"), the spiritual dilemma of intellectuals ("Ward Six"), and the humble struggles of small people ("Affliction"). His words are as precise as a scalpel, which not only satirizes the numbness and decay of society ("The Man in the Trap"), but also injects poetic sadness into ordinary life ("The Woman with a Puppy"). The work abandons preaching and uses "objective presentation" to allow readers to understand the intertwining of hope and despair on their own. It is hailed as a model of modern short stories and influenced later generations such as Kafka and Lu Xun. Rulong's translation of Chekhov is a faithful reproduction of Chekhov's concise style. The translation is clean and neat, avoiding lengthy procrastination, and accurately conveys Chekhov's literary soul. Our company owns the exclusive copyright.
