Family problems can be seen everywhere, children's troubles can be seen everywhere, and children's social circles can be seen everywhere. Why do they develop into tragic murders? In the early morning of February 20, 2015, the wind was biting. The body of Ryota Uemura was found on the embankment of the Tama River in Kawasaki City, Japan. Liotai, who was only 13 years old, was naked and had as many as 43 stab wounds on his body. Liota lost more than 1 liter of blood - equivalent to one-third of his body's blood. Before completely losing consciousness, he crawled 23.5 Meters with difficulty and tried to get help on the road, but in the end he did not have the strength to climb the embankment. The police soon arrested the suspects, all three of whom were minors. The three teenagers were friends who spent time with Ryota. After his parents divorced, Liota moved to a new city with his mother and siblings, but found it difficult to adapt to the new life. It is not unusual for adolescent children to lose their place at home and at school and look to the outside world for help. They met children who were in a similar situation to their own, built a common circle, and wanted to fill the holes in each other's hearts. In the process, they sometimes did bad things - smoking, fighting, and petty theft. But at what point did the thoughts of murder arise in the minds of the teenagers?

What this book records is not the big events, but the small things I experienced during the fifteen months after the war began. Up to now, the European powers have been locked in this terrifying battle for more than two years. Many small countries were invaded; France was conquered. These major events have been reported in newspapers and will also be recorded in history. Life goes on. People still eat three meals a day, still fall in love, get married, and die of old age. Yet it seems to me that this natural disaster affected everyone in a thousand subtle ways, at least in Europe. These little things were insignificant to the tide of upheaval, but they were not unimportant to the people affected by them, and no one I know of thought them worthy of attention. So I thought it might be interesting if I could record those trivial things that seemed to have changed the course of my entire life before I forgot them. What this book describes is purely personal and private, and would be meaningless otherwise. But I still want to ask readers to believe that at this moment when the future of the entire world hangs on a thread, no one knows better than me how insignificant I am personally. --Maugham

He only repeatedly said that he was frightened when he saw the two passengers "trying to kiss" in the rearview mirror. The special identity of the victim and the vague testimonies of the survivors attracted the intervention of the security agencies of many Eastern European countries.

After Han Meow is brutally attacked on the head in the garden of a London pub, his wife and daughter find themselves living with a stranger - an elusive, violent, vengeful man with amnesia: "His condition is like the twenty-first century: one wants to wake up from it." While it may come as a shock to his family, Han Mio's new personality fits perfectly with the city and era in which he lives. Because this is the vicious London of tabloid journalist Clint Smoker, whose daily reports of sexual illicit relationships and outrageous scandals are as false as the noose around his neck. In this world, the King of England keeps a Chinese mistress in Paris and tries to prevent a video of his 15-year-old daughter having an affair in a bathtub from spreading on the Internet. In this world there are killers, pornographers, tycoons and displaced royalty. This is a world where smart people do unspeakable things and bodyguards offer no protection. "Yellow Dog" is Martin Amis's best work: humorous, intense, cunning, and profound. Consistently, Amis explores the entire edifice of patriarchy and masculinity; the violence that engenders between men; the tortuous alliances between men and women; and the vanishing dreams that could protect our future and our descendants.

This is the incredible true crime story of a man who founded a billion-dollar internet drug empire from his bedroom and nearly got away with it. In 2011, twenty-six-year-old Ross Ulbricht launched the ultimate free market: Silk Road. It's an anonymous site on the dark web where anyone can trade cryptocurrencies for anything-drugs, hacking software, fake passports, counterfeit money, poison-without government surveillance. Silk Road quickly swelled into a multibillion-dollar enterprise, and spurred by public outcry, the U. S. Federal government launched a massive two-year manhunt. But the manhunt was elusive, with no leads, no witnesses and no clear jurisdiction. Vanity Fair reporter Nick Bilton draws on exclusive interviews with key figures and the vast digital text and images Roth left behind to tell the story of an ambitious boy next door who transformed into a criminal.

Atwood has long been known in the world of literature more for her novels, but her literary creation began with poetry. This book collects Atwood's poetry creation from 1965 to 1995, including two previously published poetry anthologies "Poems: 1965-1975" and "Poems: 1976-1986" and the poetry collection "Morning in the Burnt House". The language of Atwood's poetry is accurate, clear, and restrained, without any arrangement, and is devoted to the exploration of rhythmic flexibility. A bus trip, a few postcards, the vast wilderness, and everyday trivial matters can all be loaded with astonishing passion and power. In a large number of poems that focus on women's topics, she reveals the oppression and violence of women in a patriarchal society. Her writing style is often sharp and almost cruel, reflecting the poet's strong spiritual foundation.

"Peter the Dreamer" is a book written by McEwan for children. It tells the story of seven daydreams of a ten-year-old boy, Peter. As the author himself said in the preface, the reason why we like children's books is because our children enjoy reading these books, which has less to do with literature and more to do with love. As McEwan was writing and reading "Peter the Dreamer" aloud to his children, he began to feel that it might be better to forget about the great tradition of children's literature and write a book about children for adults, using language that children can understand. He wanted its subject-imagination itself-to be engaging for anyone who picked up a book.

"Counterlife" is Roth's fourth novel with the novelist Nathan Zuckerman as the protagonist, following his "Zuckerman Bound" trilogy. Roth won the National Book Critics Circle Award for the novel and was a finalist for the National Book Award. ? The novel takes the fate of the two Zuckerman brothers, Nathan and Henry, as two main lines. His elder brother Nathan is a well-known American novelist, and his younger brother Henry is a slightly accomplished dentist. The two fell out over Nathan's famous work "Karnofsky," and Henry accused Nathan of irresponsibly exaggerating and distorting his private life. After many years of no contact with each other, Henry walked into Nathan's life again because of Nathan's funeral. On the other hand, in the first-person narrative with Nathan, the host of the funeral becomes Henry, and it is Nathan who attends the funeral. Henry first died in a surgical operation in the United States, and then was resurrected as Hanoch in Israel. The dual narratives of Nathan and Henry do not run parallel to each other, but intersperse, entangle, and even contradict and subvert each other. With the help of postmodern writing techniques in which the protagonist comes back from life and death, "Counter Life" reveals how environment, encounters and a series of related life choices change people's subjective initiative, how they bring people different identities and recognition and interpretation of identities.

As a result, his handling of this dream almost destroyed his family, but he was unexpectedly promoted and became the director of the Dream Palace.

To live is to dare to cry, dare to laugh, dare to be angry and be free. And living alone is an attitude towards life. A person's life is not to be completely alone, but to talk more freely with oneself, friends and the world. "Living Alone" is the work of Japanese soul poet Shuntaro Tanikawa when he was in his late seventies. During this period, he experienced the death of his father, the birth of his grandson, the separation of his friends, and began to live alone. Through Shuntaro Tanigawa, we can see the ideal of a person's life: passion, loneliness, elegance and freedom. He defends a person's life, using delicate and Zen-like writing to record those mood swings that are easily obscured by daily trivial matters and difficult to capture. Starting from the trivial and ordinary daily necessities such as food, clothing, housing and transportation, he writes letters, eats, listens to concerts, and writes poems, describing his understanding of family, friendship, and love, and talks about life, death, and aesthetics wisely and generously. Life is difficult to describe in one sentence, but the author tells everything frankly, creating this collection of essays full of light philosophy on life. Everyone needs a space of their own, where a free soul lives.

If the pursuit of happiness kills happiness, is happiness still worth pursuing? This book is a famous work by the talented French writer Georges Perec.

We can connect Perec's novel to the boom in sociology in the 1960s, which began to discuss the status of isolated individuals in consumer society. However, this issue has never become a theme in literature, and this sociological novel was written because of this.
