Despite this, the author still uses his new and free style, and uses excerpts, descriptions and comments on Lawrence's works sprinkled throughout the text like spices, to outline a unique D. H. Lawrence for us.

Based on the writing and social life circle in which she lived, Beauvoir described the activities and ideological processes of a group of intellectuals in Paris from 1944 to 1945, when France was at the end of World War II and about to fall into the Cold War. This novel has a strong documentary color, and the relationship between Dubreuil and his wife corresponds to the mutual attachment, respect and independence between Beauvoir and Sartre. Anna Dubreuil's image of an intellectual woman and Robert Dubreuil's identity as a famous writer involved in politics are very consistent with Beauvoir and Sartre in reality. Henri Perron corresponds to the French writer Camus. Camus met Sartre in 1943, and Sartre became Camus's leader in the literary world. As an active activist, Camus had founded the left-wing underground daily "Combat". He made Sartre, who was hoping to "intervene", truly participate in the resistance movement. In 1952, the magazine "Modern" edited by Sartre published an article criticizing Camus, which eventually led to the breakdown of the relationship between the two. In the novel, the American writer Lewis gave the ring to Anna. In reality, Beauvoir wore it and was buried in the Montparnasse Cemetery in Paris.

The final chapter of the Booker Prize-winning historical novels "Wolf Hall" and "Legendary" is Hilary Mantel's "Swan Song".

In May 1536, the executioner waved his sword, and the head of Anne Boleyn, Henry VIII's second queen, fell to the ground. After Thomas Cromwell, who came from a humble background, entered the court, he went through rounds of power struggles and baptisms of ice and fire. He rose from the position of Minister of State, Lord Privy Seal, Baron of Wimbledon, Knight of the Garter, and finally obtained the distinguished title of Earl of Essex. The marriage of his son Gregory to the Seymour family made him an in-law to Henry VIII, and the family became the most popular upstart in the dynasty. After dealing with a large number of disgruntled ancient Plantagenet nobles for Henry, Cromwell was already powerful and had no rivals inside or outside the court. At this time, the wheel of fortune was rumbling, and danger was quietly approaching. Plantagenet's old and young children, Lord Suffolk, Uncle Norfolk, the Bishop of Gardena... These enemies of Cromwell were already preparing to make a move in the dark.

When the balance of comfort in life is insufficient, how can the love of neighbors resolve the confusion of life and death? The National Graphic Award winner's work directly touches the soul, and goes on a beautiful deathbed adventure with lonely souls. A clear summer night, a beautiful town, a beautiful house, and a bottle of euthanasia medicine hidden deep in the drawer... This is the final ending she wrote for herself. It is also the vow she and her best friend made in front of the hospital bed and the adventure they decided to go on together. When the journey of life becomes twilight, and everything that has been squandered such as madness, willfulness, youth, appearance, career, family affection, and love gradually fades away, can the traveler end his life peacefully? Sigrid Nunez, winner of the 2018 National Book Award, tells a story of talking and listening with her unique prose and note-taking techniques, asking every lonely soul in the noisy world: What are you going through? This creates "neighborly love" with the person who confides in each other. The novel sparkles with the philosophical meaning and universal sentiment of Nietzsche's "On Neighbors": when the various comforts in life are insufficient, to resolve those eternal life puzzles, perhaps only the love of neighbor can comfort each other's pain.
