"Andersen's Fairy Tales and Stories" is a collection of fairy tales created by Danish writer Andersen, which took nearly forty years to create. The fairy tales created by Andersen are treasures of world literature and are childhood books dedicated to everyone. Andersen received royal tribute during his lifetime, and his fairy tales were translated into more than 150 languages ​​and published around the world. Andersen's fairy tales are rich in fantasy, innocent conception and simple sense of humor, expressing themes that transcend age and nationality. As Zhou Zuoren commented: "We observe everything with the eyes of a child and write it with the pen of a poet. Therefore, it is beautiful and natural and can be called a masterpiece. There is no one before and no one after." Andersen's creation can be divided into three periods: early, middle and late. Early fairy tales are mostly full of beautiful fantasy and optimistic spirit, reflecting the characteristics of a combination of realism and romanticism. In the middle period of fairy tales, the fantasy component is weakened and the realistic component is relatively enhanced. In lashing out the ugliness and praising the good, it expresses the persistent pursuit of a better life and also reveals the melancholy of lack of confidence. Fairy tales in the late period are more face to reality than those in the middle period. They focus on describing the tragic fate of the people at the bottom and exposing the coldness, darkness and injustice of social life. The tone of the works is low. This complete collection was translated based on the 1992 commemorative edition of Danish Hans Lezzers Publishing House and consists of 157 stories.

Gerber, a child hypnotist, specializes in treating children who have suffered psychological trauma. He can always dig out the truth from the children's words, whether true or false, until a special patient arrives. Hannah, 30, is beautiful and fragile, suffering from selective amnesia.

In order to get the little girl in her memory to tell the truth about that year, Gerber used hypnosis to send Hannah back to her weird childhood 20 years ago. The screaming house, the brother in the box, the ghost hiding in the home... As Gerber gradually penetrated into Hannah's memory, he suddenly discovered that his real life was being eroded bit by bit...

There is a great liar in the world, and he is a god. To be precise, he is the African god of lies, the spider god Anansi. The web of lies spun by the Spider God is so interesting that people get caught in it and believe his lies to be the truth. For example, people always believe that problems can be solved by using their brains, that stories are originally told by humans, and that liars will have no good end... These all stem from the lies made up by the Spider God. The Spider God's lies are certainly abominable, but without the humor behind his lies and the wisdom behind his tricks, the world would be so boring, dark, and ordinary. The truth is also false when it is false. Only by tearing apart the Spider God's web of lies can we see the true meaning of life...

On a sunny Sunday, the president of Bayleaf Company died suddenly in his office. The cause of death was a severe blow to the head, and the scene was a glass secret room under seven layers of security. The office is on the 12th floor. The entire building is surrounded by embedded glass windows, making it impossible to enter from the outside. There is a security room at the entrance of the building, and registration is required to enter the building. The elevator to the 12th floor requires special password authentication. All the stair doors leading to the 12th floor were locked that day, and there were no signs of lock picking. There is a surveillance camera at the door of the office, which was operating normally at the time of the incident. The office has glass windows, all made of bulletproof glass. There were three secretaries working nearby at the time of the incident and no abnormalities were found. How did the murderer break through these seven levels of security, commit murder and escape unscathed?

The novel "The Fish King" is Astafiev's most unique masterpiece and a classic of contemporary Russian literature. The book is composed of thirteen "narrative short stories" with relatively independent contents, all centered on the relationship between man and nature. It depicts Siberia full of mysterious temptations in depth and detail, as well as the people living there, and their reflections on life. The desolate, bitter and cold natural environment is at the same time a place where nature shows its majesty, vastness and richness. Although human footprints are like claws in snow and mud, they still carry the dignity of endless life. These chapters show a unique style in terms of ideological content and artistic form, downplaying the plot, and describing the details delicately and vividly. They "integrate novels, novellas, lyrical essays, and moral discussions into one" (Wang Xiaobo). They reveal coherent content and images from different angles and methods, just like a string of pearls strung inadvertently, each one reflecting dazzling light with its own beauty.

"Hey, where can the demon escape?" "How dare you practice sorcery in front of the Taoist Master?" "The demon is really powerful!" "If I use this move, how should you respond?" "Poof!" "Grandpa Immortal, I was wrong. I should never have accused you of being a demon!"

Herzog lay on the sofa, looking back on his life, he felt that it was a mess, really a mess: to his wife, he was a bad husband; to his parents, he was an ungrateful child; to the country, he was an inactive citizen. He had the chance to love, but he was lazy. He had the chance to shine, but he chose to be dim. He is powerful but very inactive. He has his own soul, but he never dares to face it. He was always thinking so hard, as if he would die if he stopped thinking. He began to write letters non-stop, with endless things to say in his heart. He wanted to write to everyone in the world...

Are you that person who thinks you are kind and harmless, but is actually cold and cruel? "People Who Harm Me" contains eight novels written by Cui Enrong. In the author's words, those relationships that ended silently in sobs, those indifferent and belated disappointments, those indifferent and determined turns and disregards, together build an emotional network that is more complex than the plot of the story. The wife of a prisoner who suffered injustice, the student who was domestically abused, the believer who fled to Africa to practice asceticism, the family members of the victims of the shipwreck, the confidants in the foreign country isolated by the war... The people in the story are wandering on the edge of the secular world, most of them are weak and quiet, harmless but have been hurt repeatedly, and it is difficult to escape the melancholy and pain. Their hearts form their own unique texture with inherent trauma, which cannot be erased or repaired. The perpetrators are often harmless people like them. The comfort and happiness that the world longs for can always be realized after shielding the loneliness and pain of others. Cui Enrong recorded these cruel stories in a gentle style. They exude coldness under the warm sunshine, and reveal great loss in the intimacy. When memories crackle silently, half of the people in the story move forward without hesitation, while the other half stay where they are forever, with only loneliness echoing.

Gide's passionate spiritual monologues, winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature, are regarded as "the Bible of a restless generation."

"Food from the Earth" is a series of poetic fragmentary thoughts written by Gide in a lyrical way, combining traditional short poems, odes, melody and other forms after he traveled to North Africa and Italy. He senses the flowers and fruits of life with his fiery soul, and turns this sincere love into carols and poetry.
