"Les Misérables" is another magnificent masterpiece written by the famous French romantic writer Victor Hugo after "The Hunchback of Notre Dame". It is a novel that represents Hugo's thoughts and artistic style. With outstanding artistic expression, the book shows people a picture of the French Revolution from 1793 to 1832 through the description of the tragic experiences of Jean Valjean and others and a series of touching deeds done by Jean Valjean after he was converted by Bishop Myrière. The brilliant picture of French social and political life during the Paris Popular Uprising in 2006 profoundly exposed and criticized the decadent nature of French society and its criminal phenomena at that time, and expressed compassion and sympathy for the exploitation, fraud and cruel persecution suffered by the poor people under heavy pressure. "Notre Dame de Paris" is set in France under the rule of Louis XI in 1482. It describes the entanglement between a gypsy girl, Frollo, the deputy bishop of Notre Dame Church, and the outcast Quasimodo. The truth, goodness, beauty, falsehood, evil, and ugliness of the characters are all magnified. Quasimodo, who is ugly, deaf and mute, has a noble and pure heart. Esmeralda is a beautiful and pure dancer who was framed to death by Frollo, the deputy bishop of Notre Dame Church, because she did not succumb to his desires. Quasimodo was desperate for losing his idol, and angrily pushed Frollo from the top floor to his death. He also went to the cemetery and committed suicide next to Esmeralda's body.

"The Boy" is one of Coetzee's trilogy of autobiographical novels. It describes the protagonist's childhood life in South Africa when he was ten to thirteen years old.

Through a little boy and an ordinary middle-class family, readers can witness the cultural imperialism of the colonizers that sowed the seeds of conflict between different ethnic groups and races in South African society. Coetzee uses this to lay out the tragic context of the book. Through the inner confusion of the protagonist, the cliché of difficult times unexpectedly interprets a new set of discourse.

This is a literary review written in the form of essays, and it is also a book of Maugham's insights into reading and philosophy. When you open this book, you will be stunned by the little-known sides of the top ten literary giants: Dostoevsky, whom everyone admires, was addicted to gambling and liked to advance manuscript fees but did not submit manuscripts on time; Balzac was vain and flashy, and often owed money. Not to return; Jane Austen's tacky clothes and low taste... Maugham's almost ruthless and bloody comments about the great masters are not intended to sensationalize, but to present their truest and most human side to the readers. In Maugham's words, "Knowing what kind of person the author is can help you better understand the author's works." Maugham not only told the personalities, hobbies and life experiences of the ten writers, but also introduced ten great novels. Once opened, you will enter a rich and wonderful world of literature.
