"In Search of Lost Time" is too long, you can start with "Refutation of Sainte-Beuve" - ​​the first book to understand Proust. Wang Daoqian's translation was published again after being out of print for many years. This book is neither an essay nor a novel, but a work of art. A piece of small madeleine cake brought out endless unconscious memories, and then the pen turned sharply. The author strongly criticizes the mechanical and erroneous criticism methods of the authoritative critic Saint-Beuve, and the resulting contempt and misunderstanding of all the literary geniuses in the French literary world at that time. The whole book contains both lyrical narrative and rational speculation. The two complement each other and reflect each other. The style of nearly half of the book is similar to or echoes that of "Reminiscence of Lost Time". It is a condensation of the essence of the author's thoughts and laid the first cornerstone for later textualist and structuralist criticism.

"The most underestimated writer of the 20th century" Robert Walser's debut novel has been translated into Chinese for the first time, and is the prelude to the autobiographical Berlin novel trilogy. Respected by Hesse, Benjamin, Sontag, Musil and Zweig! A soul who does not want to be bound by the professional society seeks his own freedom in wandering. Literal translation of the authoritative German version, with special inclusion of the editor's postscript. "The Donner Brothers" is Robert Walser's debut novel and the prelude to his autobiographical trilogy of Berlin novels. The protagonist, Simon Downer, wanders around the world forever, meeting and separating from his brothers and sisters. He is always full of utopian fantasies about life. In modern society where people generally pursue personal and career development, only Simon Donner, an outsider and dreamer, strives to pursue the reunification of poetry and life. He constantly changes careers, trying to break away from the constraints and influence of the external world, which is controlled by time, on human behavior and consciousness. He refused to surrender himself to a world full of alienation and complex relationships, and could only seek his own salvation in fantasy and dreams. In this novel, the writer does not intend to accurately describe a specific scene or event in the world, but focuses on the pure and transcendent inner world through seemingly ordinary and trivial life episodes.

The essence of literary essays on the life of Richard Ellman, winner of the National Book Award and Pulitzer Prize for Biography. The collection of essays edited and selected by Ellman himself during his lifetime includes his most representative literary reviews and essays over the years, discussing the literary giants of the 20th century such as Pound, Eliot, Yeats, and Joyce. Book reviewer Chen Yikan's translation is very skillful and well conveyed. Richard Ellman is a famous American scholar and literary critic. With his three blockbuster biographies, "Yeats: Real Man and Mask", "Joyce" (National Book Award) and "Wilde" (Pulitzer Prize for Biography), he ranks among the giants in the study of modernist literature in the twentieth century. Through this book, we see that Ellman is not only good at large-scale works, but also a master of feature articles. In this book, Ellman uses his extensive knowledge, unrestrained talent and broad vision to review Pound's role in the birth of Eliot's "The Waste Land", examines Freud's indefinable influence on modern literature, recalls his interactions with Yeats's widow in his youth, and, of course, his favorite, Joyce - the title of the book "a long the riverrun" comes from the phrase connecting the beginning and end of "Finnegans Wake".

After five years, Ryu Murakami published "The Story of Loss", his first novel in his later years. Follow Murakami Ryu into the labyrinth deep in consciousness, and travel through a "lucid dream" in the ruins of life's memories. Tender nostalgia and compromise flow throughout the novel, and his thoughts are as weak as babble and full of self-doubt. This is the first time in Ryu Murakami's nearly fifty-year writing career that he has taken off the armor of verbal violence and opened the door to his inner world to readers for the first time. This book is similar to a psychiatric clinical record, but also has the characteristics of a private novel. One day, "my" domestic kitten suddenly spoke and directed "me" to an actress named "Mariko". The actress and "I" seemed to be old friends, but we both had completely different memories of the past. The actress took "me" to a restaurant "Cherbourg" that was clearly closed in my memory, and then her mother suddenly appeared in front of her. Mixed with various voices, a large number of memory fragments began to intertwine and emerge: my mother's experience in North Korea, the alienation of the painter's father from the family, "I" and the actress's travels in Rome, as well as German shepherd dogs, azaleas... "My" consciousness fell into a maze, wandering in the ruins of memory, unable to distinguish between past and present, reality and imagination, and the boundaries between advancement and retreat. Finally, guided by my mother's voice, "I" finally remembered the reason why I became a novelist: "Depression is like a twilight that never ends. I can only rely on fiction to continue to survive."

"Adventures in the Slums" by George Orwell, the author of "1984", a little-known story of Orwell's early life. What kind of person was a prophet before he became a prophet? George Orwell, the author of "1984" and "Animal Farm" and the prophet of dystopia, was always a staunch socialist throughout his life. This may confuse today's readers who do not understand the changes in the political spectrum, but for Orwell, this was a natural choice. "Down and Out in Paris and London" is Orwell's first officially published documentary work. It tells the story of Orwell's true experience of voluntarily entering the slums in Paris and London to experience life at the bottom of society. After feeling completely disgusted and despaired of the British colonial system, Orwell's literary dream finally came to fruition for the first time after several setbacks. The experiences in Paris and London can be seen as Orwell's journey of repentance and redemption for his service to the colonial system. As a loyal believer in the socialist system, perhaps Orwell's deliberate choice of wandering and poverty was a test of his ability to persist in implementing socialist ideals. Paris and London are the most prosperous places in the capitalist world, but the poverty and hardship at the bottom of society is shocking. Orwell's sincere attitude of "resigning himself to suicide" and treating the working people as equals is truly unusual among British left-wing literary writers. It is this spirit that makes "Down and Out in Paris and London" a classic documentary work that exposes social injustice, and it still resonates with readers today.

The only novel by the British genius Oscar Wilde is a shocking, strange and gorgeous legendary work. It perfectly explains the aesthetic concept of "art for art's sake" and reveals all the mysteries deep in Wilde's soul from form to content. Classic translation by the famous translator Rong Rude. "The Picture of Dorian Gray" is a masterpiece of Oscar Wilde's novels and a masterpiece of his aesthetic novels. The beautiful boy Dorian Gray faced the portrait painted by his friend Hallward and said: "If I could stay young forever and let this portrait grow old... I would trade my soul for youth!" This absurd wish formed the basis of the plot of "The Picture of Dorian Gray", the only novel by Oscar Wilde, a representative writer of aestheticism. Unexpectedly, as soon as this statement came out, it became a prophecy. As a result of the influence of environment and the pursuit of pleasure, Gray fell deeper and deeper into the quagmire of self-indulgence until he was completely destroyed. This book also includes two of Wilde's masterpieces, "The Crime of Lord Arthur Saville" and "The Canterville Ghost", which basically contain the essence of Wilde's novels. This book contains twenty original illustrations, which are of great collection value.

A classic work of stream of consciousness in the history of literature, a great self-portrait of an artist. More than 30 original illustrations perfectly set off the scenes. This book is a must-read for Qiao fans around the world. This book is the first novel written by Joyce using the stream of consciousness technique, and it is also one of the earliest and most successful stream of consciousness novels in the history of world literature. The novel has a strong autobiographical flavor and describes how Stephen, a young boy from Dublin, escapes the oppression and bullying of boarding school and talks about beauty and imagination on this poor island even abandoned by God, in an attempt to seek and discover a way of life or art in which the human spirit can be expressed freely without hindrance. He broke out of his cocoon and became Stephen, a young artist. His painful process of trying to get rid of the various influences that hindered his development - family constraints, religious traditions and narrow nationalistic sentiments, to pursue the true meaning of art and beauty, is actually a portrayal of the young Joyce's life and creative career from awakening to maturity. Joyce's subsequent masterpieces "Ulysses" and "Finnegans Wake" can be regarded as the sequel to "Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man".

He is the "salvation" in the prison, and his room is a prayer room for other criminals. Sonny's calm smile seemed to have a magical healing power that made other prisoners willing to confess to him, believing that this would cleanse them of their sins. He was going to spend almost half his life in prison, but a prisoner's confession changed everything - the prisoner's prayer mentioned Sonny's father, the "corrupt" policeman who had committed suicide to apologize. All this seems to have a hidden meaning. When Sonny learned that his life was made up of lies, he was determined to pursue his own freedom, because only freedom can bring revenge.

"The Golden Rose" is a collection of essays written by Konstantin Paustovsky, a famous prose writer in the former Soviet Union. It consists of 18 articles of varying lengths. The work explores many topics related to literary creation, such as the generation of ideas, the selection of materials, the cultivation of imagination, and the creation of characters. The delicate landscape description is intertwined with the perception and contemplation of life, and the philosophy is expressed in poetic language. The writing style is clear and delicate, the emotions are rich and sincere, and the attachment to nature and folk traditions flows everywhere. Since it was translated and introduced to China in 1956, it has become a creative guide for generations of writers. The highlight of the book is the first chapter, "Precious Dust," which tells the story of a poor Parisian cleaner who panned for gold in the sand and eventually used the accumulated gold powder to cast a golden rose. "Golden rose" is the image that governs the whole book. It is a metaphor for those literary classics that are accumulated and polished bit by bit. It also symbolizes the poetry captured by ordinary people in their trivial lives.
