How many bodies does a person have? Perhaps we have all heard, and many people believe, that people have more than one body. People can be separated, resurrected, and reincarnated. In addition to the flesh and blood body, humans also have a spiritual body, which is called a "spiritual body" in the Bible. Pavich tells us at the beginning of the novel that he has passed away. After his death, he (his second body) told us a story of a double body.

2003 was a turning point in my life. Everyone who knew me thought that I had become more cheerful and confident. I think it all comes down to my school and the loving and encouraging atmosphere there. I try to recall and record every detail of my life in that year, and share it with everyone, so that people around me can know that there is such a different life in another corner of the world. This is also a coming-of-age ceremony for myself, to commemorate the year when I grew vigorously, and to remind myself that I must face challenges and unknowns as bravely as I did that year in the future. From that year on, I began to use my holidays to travel or study abroad, and visited some countries in Asia, Africa, and Europe. Every trip brings different experiences and thoughts, and I collect them together. "Read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles." After reading and traveling, I still have the accumulation of my own writing as part of my growth.

In the picturesque countryside of London, five strangers rushed to rescue a hot air balloon accident. However, perhaps it was just a moment of hesitation and selfishness that led to the death of a living person right in front of their eyes. The fragility and perishability of life ignites the protagonist's crazy and persistent love, which also leads to complete chaos and disorder in the world of the other two people. In this book, McEwan, whose creations have matured and become better, uses a detailed presentation of a spiritual crisis and a mental illness to seriously and profoundly explore the infinite possibilities, fragility and helplessness of human emotions, emotions, consciousness and even human nature itself.

After World War II, Leonard, a young British electronic engineer, was sent to Germany to participate in British-American cooperation in intelligence projects.

Just when the two were inseparable, an accidental murder finally caused the two to pass each other by each other, regretting it for the rest of their lives. This is a romance during the Cold War, a spy war after World War II, and a thrilling criminal psychological novel... As always, McEwan perfectly blends elements such as love, war, suspense, crime, sex, and black humor. What he writes is a desolate and desperate Berlin city, where pure and innocent people have no place to stay, and fear and coldness surround them everywhere until they move into the endless night.

In a minor incident, he had a minor run-in with a thug named Baxter.

He wanted to get rid of Baxter as soon as possible, but he didn't know that Saturday's troubles would start from here and get out of control...

"The Concrete Garden" is one of McEwan's two "small masterpieces" and one of his most acclaimed masterpieces. This story told by a fifteen-year-old boy who was in the rebellious period of youth is indeed a bit sensational from a secular perspective. After their parents died one after another, the four children - Julie, Jack, Sue and Tom - were trapped in the cement garden like prisoners in the vast world, like survivors on an isolated island. In an isolated world, they interpret the conventional ethics between parents, brothers and sisters, and children, as well as stories that transcend ethics, are shocking yet reasonable.

The story of "On Chesil Beach" is set in the subtle early 1960s, when hippies were just beginning to learn debauchery, traditionalists were still strong, and "the era when it was impossible to talk about sexual troubles" had not yet come to an end. Edward and Florence's honeymoon dinner is uneasy, tense and full of misunderstandings. The love on the first night was never made. A whole book of delicate and silky words covers sex and love, but they are separated in their respective bodies and hearts. In the world of this book, he and she can never become one. McEwan's tender sketch looks back on the youthful years through the unique perspective of sexual concepts. It is delicate and gentle but full of power, which is both emotional and long-lasting.

This is McEwan's first book for children. It tells the story of the daydreams of a ten-year-old boy, Peter. Through seven carefully linked episodes, the grown-up Peter uncovers the mysterious journeys, transformations and adventures of his childhood. Living between dreams and reality, Peter experienced an unprecedented Metamorphosis... In the United Kingdom and the United States, "Peter the Dreamer" was published in the form of an illustrated children's book, while in many other countries, it was published in a more serious form for adults to read. McEwan once again demonstrates his boundless imagination - and a children's book written for adults is born.

Chasing the Sun is McEwan's most ambitious and controversial novel in recent years. Theoretical physicist Michael Beard, who won the Nobel Prize in Physics when he was young but has since been gradually reduced to an academic role, encountered family changes when he entered his twilight years: his fifth wife had an affair and openly had an affair with the home decorator. Beard never expected that things would get out of hand - in a typical "McEwan moment", love turns to blood, stealing turns to murder, and the story takes a sudden turn, which is both shocking and reasonable, reviving Beard's already doomed life chess game. The long-lost ideal light of "saving the earth" actually shined into the dark room of his soul again through a conspiracy that was both accidental and despicable - thus, the good, the bad, the abysmal, the ridiculous, were all forced to be exposed in front of the readers...
