"Classic in Chinese Translation: Letters from the Persians" is not a novel in the general sense, but a written statement, incorporating the author's long-standing philosophical thinking, integrating legend and philosophy. Although it uses absurdity to entertain the audience and the plot is bizarre, it uses facts to illustrate the truth. In the form of letters, the author re-examines European culture from a "defamiliarizing" perspective through the mouths of Persians. He not only leads readers to appreciate the picture of life in Paris in the 18th century, but also subtly promotes the enlightenment of enlightenment ideas. This book adapts to the French people's desire for change but was disappointed with the Regency reform. It reflects people's restless mentality in the early days of the Enlightenment to re-understand reality and seek truth. It also satisfies people's curiosity about the East during the period of capitalist colonial expansion.

"The Return" won the French Medici Novel Prize in 2006 and is an autobiographical novel. Due to the social environment, the protagonist fled from Romania to the United States, and returned after teaching and writing in the United States for 10 years. The book is divided into three parts: the first part is about life in the United States after running away. The second part is about the years of life before leaving, and it is also Manea's personal and family history. The third part is what I did in the 10 days after returning. This is a rough summary, but in fact this book does not have a clear clue of time and space. It always jumps between the past, present and future time, and switches between the spaces of Romania and the United States. The narrative is suddenly interrupted and repeated again and again, which is the writing characteristic of this book.

"The Angry Doll" is an autobiographical novel by Robert Alter, the "Argentinian Dostoyevsky" and the pioneer of "evil literary realism" in Latin America. It is also his debut novel. The protagonist Astaire is a teenager who was expelled from school. He tries to escape poverty at all costs, but fails to succeed, so he sinks deeper and deeper into dark pessimism. With such a tragic character and an atmosphere of absurdity and despair, the novel reflects the chaotic situation of Buenos Aires in the early 20th century. The novel was originally titled "Life Like a Pig", but later changed to "Angry Doll". In fact, the original title of the novel reveals the true meaning of the novel, that is, this is a failed, dirty, and disappointing life. The meaning of the new book's title may be that people are dolls played by fate, or it may refer to the protagonist's useless little invention. Some scholars believe that this corresponds to the many "toys" in the poet Baudelaire's poems constantly mentioned in the article, which are intended to change the original entertainment function of toys. The toys generate anger and rebellion against the makers of the toys, implying anger towards the industrial world in the early stage of modernization, because it eliminated the dreams of workers.
