The Chinese version is introduced for the first time, including "Dogs", "Stories", "Vanity", "When Women Get Old", "Old Women and Cats", "Lies" and "Glass Slaughterhouse", a total of seven stories.

The story is concise but meaningful, presenting Coetzee's deep thinking on the nature of human morality and the situation of life. A reader's comment on the Goodread page reads: "The seven stories are all shallow and profound. Some passages need to be read repeatedly to understand the author's meaning. I will keep this book and read it frequently 20 years later." "When I first heard about Coetzee, the Nobel Prize winner, I thought his novels were difficult and obscure; after reading these stories, I found that his style is actually clear, profound, and light."

In the book "Tutankhamun's Horn", British Egypt archaeologist Toby Wilkinson uses a unique perspective and entry point to look at the tomb and unearthed objects. He did not focus on the familiar process of discovering the tomb, nor did he dwell too much on the short life of the young pharaoh and the political disintegration of Egypt during his reign. Instead, he introduced the dazzling ancient Egyptian culture and its far-reaching influence in detail through the pharaoh's funerary objects. From more than 5,000 funerary objects, he selected 100 artifacts and divided them into 10 groups. According to 10 themes, he comprehensively introduced all aspects of social life such as the natural environment, religious beliefs, royal politics, trade networks, science and technology, and daily life of ancient Egyptian civilization. A gold-decorated chariot shows the advanced technology of Egypt at that time. Bread, fruit baskets and wine jars reflect the fertility of the Nile Valley and the abundance of feasts enjoyed by the local people. Jewelry made from Nubian ebony and Libyan desert glass also illustrate Egypt's active trade and vast diplomatic network. Shaving utensils and chessboards reveal another aspect of people's daily life... Nowadays, the music of Tutankhamun's era, represented by the most touching object in the tomb - Tutankhamen's horn (silver horn), has been wiped out like the man himself, leaving only the echoes of the past, relics of the distant past. Fortunately, through these funerary objects, we can still awaken the world of Tutankhamun and the ancient Egyptian civilization that he represented as a symbol.

"He is the United States." He dropped out of school at the age of thirteen and entered the workforce. He saw the world from the noisy streets and alleys of the city and from the bottom of the caravan. He also had an extremely rich experience of wandering and fighting. Because his poems were "people's poems", they were deeply loved by the people and he was called the "people's poet". This book is a collection of Sandburg's poems. It selects the main representative works from his iconic poetry collections - "Chicago Poems", "The Cornhuskers" (Pulitzer Prize-winning work), "Smoke and Steel", "Slates of the Sunburned West", "Good Morning America", "The People, Yes", and "Collected Poems" (Pulitzer Prize-winning work). It contains all high-quality works from his early, prime and late years, and comprehensively presents the evolution of his poetic ideas, techniques and style.

Borges once commented: "There is a kind of tired sadness in Sandburg, a kind of sadness in the evening on the plains, the sadness of mud and sand, the sadness of useless but accurate memory, the sadness of a man who feels the passage of time between day and night."

Homer's epic is the collective name of "Iliad" and "Odyssey". It is the earliest epic in ancient Greek literature and a model of European narrative poetry. It has greatly influenced the creative style of Western literature starting from ancient Greece, breaking the tradition of epics being limited to historical records, and beginning to pay attention to the hearts of characters. It is the originator of poetic novels. "The Iliad" tells the story of the Greek coalition's siege of Troy. It centers on the quarrel between the Greek coalition commander Agamemnon and the general Achilles, and focuses on what happened fifty days before the end of the war. "The Odyssey" tells the story of Odysseus, who wandered for ten years on his way back home after conquering Troy, and finally returned home after going through hardships.

Webster's descendants gave dogs the ability to speak and read, and the smart, kind, and peace-loving dogs became the last guardians of human history. With the help of the robot Jenkins, dogs maintain a brotherhood with other animals and live in harmony. However, the remaining humans and mysterious alien creatures that still carry warlike genes have posed new threats.
