It is written by Alfred Appel Jr., Nabokov's student at Cornell University and a recognized Nabokov research expert and cultural historian. It guides the reader from the three major aspects of "puppetry", "background" and "ingenious techniques", taking readers to appreciate the large number of word games, literary allusions and social customs that Nabokov carefully woven into "Lolita". This introduction also records the conversation between Appel and Nabokov himself, from which we can get a glimpse of the writer's writing motivation, theme, purpose, etc. In addition, anecdotes of film adaptations, the hobby of catching butterflies, long-term and passionate devotion, and various stubborn reading interests are also involved. The introduction records that Nabokov is both concerned about serious propositions and obsessed with trivial things. This contradictory expression obviously also remains in "Lolita".

A popular candidate for the Nobel Prize, one of the most important writers in the Spanish contemporary literary world, the story of the spiritual escape of a middle-aged poisonous tongue man suffering from "literary inflammation" is a contemporary literary classic that complements "Bartleby Syndrome". "Montano's Literary Disease" was first published in 2002. It is another masterpiece with a distinctive personal style by the famous Spanish writer Enrique Villa-Matas. Its style ranges between private diaries, novels, emotional experiences, autobiographical novels and essays. The five chapters are like five books with different genres. Literary critic Rosario Girondo and his son Montano both suffered from literary disease, but the symptoms were exactly the opposite: Montano encountered writer's block, could no longer write anything, and frantically wanted to return to literature; Rosario fell into a morbid fanaticism for books, and he felt breathless and just wanted to forget literature completely. Both of their illnesses stem from the excessive presence of literature in their lives, which their father calls "Montano's literary disease." In order to save himself, Rosario embarked on a Quixotic spiritual journey, traveling to Nantes, France, Valparaiso, Chile, and the Azores Islands in the North Atlantic. However, as the trip came to an end, his literary disease became more serious. This novel won Villa Matas several important literary awards, including the Spanish Novel Prize (2002), the Spanish Literary Criticism Prize (2002), and the French Medici Foreign Novel Prize (2003). It made him the first Spaniard to win the Medici Foreign Novel Prize. It is an ideal choice to understand the writer's unique creative style.

Isn't the depth of grief the depth of love? "A Thousand Cranes" is the Nobel Prize-winning work of Kawabata Yasunari. It is the ultimate masterpiece that combines morality and desire into the tea ceremony. The novel tells the story of Kikuji, who was born in a famous tea ceremony family, and quietly met several women who had a close relationship with his father at a tea party, and was involved in the whirlpool of fate. The work uses Yukiko's cloth bag decorated with thousands of cranes as a symbol of beauty, to metaphorize that the beautiful and pure women in the heart are like flowers in the water, moon and mirror, out of reach. In the conflict between morality and taboo, it touches the cold and warm love, famous objects, life and death, showing an illusory beauty of sorrow. The sin may not be eradicated, but the sorrow will eventually pass. Supreme purity cannot be contaminated by any filth, and it is therefore inclusive of everything.
