One of Hesse's most cherished books, youth mentor and Nobel laureate, is based on his own experience. Hesse: "I have a special fondness for this book. It is more precious than all the other works combined." Narcissus and Goldmund. One rational and one emotional, they are like the sun and the moon, like the land and the sea. Once they meet, they are destined to attract each other, promote each other or destroy each other. But Narcissus told Goldmund that their mission was not to come together, but to get to know each other and learn to respect each other's nature. Because the nature that is different from others is what he cherishes, and a person can only do the noble and meaningful things he can do only by striving to realize himself to the best of his talents. Hesse is able to focus on the proposition of human beings' reasonable way of existence in a more detached manner than in "Steppenwolf". He is trying to find a more perfect way out for human nature. --Wu Xiaodong (Professor of Chinese Department of Peking University)

In 1963, 23-year-old unmarried Anne Ernault discovered she was pregnant. Shame hit her like a plague, she understood that her pregnancy would make her and her family losers in society, and she knew she could not keep the child. Forty years later, Erno wrote this story about a trauma she never overcame. In France, where abortion was illegal at the time, she tried to take matters into her own hands with a knitting needle, but to no avail. In fear and despair, she finally found an underground doctor, but ended up being sent to the hospital emergency room and almost died. In "The Incident", Ernault combs through her memories and clearly and accurately unearths the social significance of this special experience as a woman.

Anne Ernault has always pushed the conventional boundaries of which stories are worth telling and which themes are worth exploring. In this book, she sets her sights on big box stores and supermarkets. This is a ubiquitous feature of modern life but one that has received little attention in literature. Ernault spent more than a year documenting her visits to Auchan, a large supermarket chain located in the suburbs of Paris. In her view, the supermarket is "a huge human gathering place, a real cultural landscape." Capital production, cultural production and class stratification converge here and govern our desires. Ernault uses her ruthlessly sharp observation to look at this place that we think we are familiar with, calling on us to explore those daily routines that have been ignored by us, and to peer deeper into ordinary life.

In an underground cafe on a certain street corner in Tokyo, there is a mysterious seat that can travel through time. Just pour a cup of hot coffee and sit quietly for a while, and you can go back to the most regrettable day in your life. But the rules are strict: you must return before the coffee gets cold, and you can't change the outcome. The boyfriend will still leave, the lover will eventually lose his memory, the loved ones will inevitably be separated forever, and the mother and daughter are destined to miss... The four guests with regrets touched another form of love in time and space, allowing those misunderstood truths to surface: those who traveled far away buried the promise of reunion, those who forgot left their affectionate vows, those who passed away entrusted their unspoken dreams, and those who were not yet born have the power to continue their lives. Time is as irreversible as the coffee becomes cold, but every bitter taste teaches them to reconcile with their fate: some farewells are not for the end, but for people to move forward with known love.

This book is Mark Twain's famous work. When it was published in the "Saturday News" on November 18, 1865, it made "all New York laugh." This book is in English and is suitable for English lovers to read. The basic subject matter of the novel comes from the western frontier of the United States. Originally, these gambler anecdotes were only circulated in the frontier. However, after being processed and transformed by Mark Twain, the "Leap Frog" story quickly spread throughout the United States and became a well-known classic joke. Although the work is not long, it has important significance in the history of literature and is one of the representative works of American frontier literature. The novel first writes about Leap Frog's conceit, and then its stupidity, and the cynicism becomes completely interesting. Through the images of fighting dogs and leaping frogs, Mark Twain made fun of the conceit and stupidity of the upper class rulers, which was humorous and vivid yet profound.
