In these stories full of thrills, deceit and absurdity, Maugham was still most interested in human nature appearing in extraordinary situations, and he never lost his calm eye for paying attention to the things around him.

This book is dedicated to the story of boys' growth and education, and is full of tenacious, brave, and open-minded masculinity. In "Little Gentlemen", Joe and her husband, Professor Barr, run a school at home. The main students are a dozen energetic boys with different personalities. The oldest is 16 years old, the youngest is only four or five years old, and most are around ten years old. Among them are children of the Barrs themselves and relatives, some wandering orphans, some particularly naughty children, some with physical disabilities and low self-esteem, and children sent by their parents because they cannot discipline them. These children live and study together. Jo and her husband arranged classes, designed games, and built their character. The Barrs never suppress the boys' individuality, but at the same time they subtly educate these children to develop sound characters. The boys grew up healthily and happily in the Qiao family, and many strange, touching or hilarious things happened in the process. As the days passed, the little men gradually grew up. Similar to the quality education we advocate today, the Barrs believe that although knowledge such as Latin and mathematics is very useful, it is more important to cultivate good qualities such as self-study, self-reliance, and self-control, and to cultivate excellent moral conduct. They teach children to be honest, loyal to their duties, and good people, and encourage them to help each other and get close to nature. Children can keep pets, grow plants, and "do business" here, but speculation in business operations is prohibited, etc. Every boy is unwilling to be ordinary. The way Qiao and her husband raise them is to let boys express their individuality and let their dreams fly without losing their principles. Alcott is good at describing simple emotions. Her novels are warm, touching, simple and innocent, conveying life insights and beliefs. She uses her stories to help readers learn to face the increasingly competitive world with a beautiful and peaceful mentality.

"Interlude" is Virginia Woolf's final work, which is unique in both language and form. The author is good at using the writing technique of stream of consciousness, and depicts a large number of people's inner illusions and subconsciousness in the novel; he is very skillful in the use of rhetorical techniques, including alliteration, end rhyme, homophony, etc.; And he quotes a large number of words and allusions from classic literature in the book, which shows his extraordinary language skills and superb artistic skills. The characters depicted in the book behave differently, and each has their own misfortunes flowing in their hearts. However, all misfortunes and pains ultimately originate from the common weakness of human nature-the inner desires cannot be satisfied, and there is not much difference between people after all. So when the director of the play, Ms. Latrube, introduced "reality" into the play, all the audiences were confused and unable to bear the weight of this "reality". I can calmly watch the lives of others being performed on the stage, but I cannot look directly at myself in public. Perhaps Woolf also lost faith in this reality, seeing through the cowardice of human nature but unable to change anything, so she chose to end her struggle with this contradictory world and chose "peace" among the three realms of life.

Influenced by the ideas of John Locke, an important educational philosopher in the 17th century, Wollstonecraft also specifically emphasized the importance of children receiving rational education in two books. However, the emphasis on religious belief and innate sensibility distinguishes their work and connects her work to discussions of sensibility that were popular at the end of the 18th century. The book also promoted women's education - a controversial topic at the time: a topic that would continue throughout her writing career and culminated in A Vindication of the Rights of Woman. Wollstonecraft believed that well-educated women would be able to make good wives and mothers and ultimately contribute to their country. Mary Wollstonecraft (1759-1797), the founder of modern feminism. Mary was born at a time when the Enlightenment was shining, the Romantic movement followed, and the American Revolution and the French Revolution echoed each other. This is an era of turmoil, active thinking, the spirit of humanism continues to flourish, individual rights are increasingly respected, and the consciousness of the subject is increasingly awakened. These ideas that were compatible with the rise of capitalism were widely spread in European and American societies, and the concepts of "liberty, equality, and fraternity" became everyone's common pursuit, at least in words.

Charlotte P. Gilman, a pioneering American feminist writer and social reformer, described an isolated female utopia in "Her Country". There, they reproduce through parthenogenesis. Their society is stable, free from wars and disputes, and free from domination and being ruled. In the story, three young male scientists found this place during an expedition.

This book was written in 1918, but it is still of enlightening significance today more than a hundred years later: money does not necessarily only bring happiness. The way you treat money determines how it affects you.

The author constructs a female-only utopia in "Her Country". From escape to freedom, from madness to self-realization, the painfully struggling Gilman in "The Yellow Wallpaper" has transformed into a mature and confident feminist writer, using words to construct a female utopia that makes men fear, disdain, or admire. Through the constant interaction between the three men who accidentally broke into another country and the women from other countries, the social norms and ideologies that we are accustomed to and turn a blind eye to in the real society are gradually questioned, subverted, and eventually completely collapsed. The representative short work "The Yellow Wallpaper" adopts the first-person "I" narration and uses many female Gothic elements to reveal the confinement of women in patriarchal society. More importantly, any woman who tries to resist faces the danger of being judged as crazy. This work had a profound influence on future feminist literature.

"1984" is the last novel written by the British writer George Orwell during his lifetime, and it is also a uniquely influential literary work in the 20th century. Since the book was first published in 1949, it has been adapted into movies many times. It has been included in the "Top 100 English Novels of the 20th Century" and was named "one of the 100 best English novels since 1923" by the American "Time" magazine. The story of this book takes place in the future world, that is, Oceania in 1984. The protagonist Winston sticks to his beliefs in that dark social environment and strives to get rid of various shackles, but he does not expect that his fate has already been doomed... The author uses rich imagination and strict logical reasoning to show a future world that is devoid of human nature, and warns the world not to fall into such a tragedy.

In 1927, the 24-year-old George Orwell resigned from his post as a colonial policeman in Burma and began to travel between the British mainland and the European continent, wandering around and trying various careers. He worked as a hotel dishwasher, a teacher, a bookstore clerk, and a longshoreman. Although he was poor, he was born in the middle class and experienced the life of the lower class firsthand. Orwell himself once said that "a life of poverty and a sense of failure strengthened my natural hatred of authority and made me aware of the existence of the working class for the first time." In 1933, Orwell wrote the novel "Down and Out in Paris and London" based on this experience. The book is divided into two parts. The first half describes the miserable life of a British literati living at the bottom of society by doing odd jobs in Paris. The second half describes the literati's experiences when he returned to London from Paris, where his living conditions further deteriorated, and he became a jobless vagrant and moved around. The book is interspersed with the protagonist's thoughts and comments, providing an in-depth analysis of the true meaning of poverty. But at the same time, there is still dark humor in the suffering. For example, when writing about the hard and tiring life of a dishwasher, one still never forgets to make fun of the classic line "Roughly speaking, the more you pay for a dish, the more sweat and spit you will eat."
