"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.

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".
