"Hamlet" contains Shakespeare's four most famous tragedies: "Hamlet", "Othello", "King Lear" and "Macbeth". In order to avenge his father, Hamlet found that "the whole era was out of joint" and decided to take up the responsibility of "rearranging the world". The result was that his ambition was empty and he was unable to recover. Othello is an upright and honest man who trusts people but hates evil as much as he hates evil. He killed his wife and himself under the influence of an adulterer. In pursuit of the best and the most beautiful, he suffered evil retribution. King Lear lost his nature in the honor, pride, and self-confidence that power brought to him. He lost his role as a king and became an ordinary person. He could be equally or even greater, so he suffered a lot of pain. Macbeth was originally a meritorious hero with a kind and beautiful side in his character. However, driven by the temptation of the throne and ambition, he became a sinner who "went from blood to blood" and regretted nothing. The tragedies of these characters profoundly reveal the various social evils that have begun to appear during the period of primitive accumulation of capital, and show the irreconcilable contradiction between humanistic ideals and cruel reality, which has a high degree of general significance.

This book changes the usual way of writing traditional drama history. It is not limited to low-level academic work such as historical data review and repertoire collection. It gets rid of the shortcomings of replacing "historical knowledge" with "historical data".

Basically ask: Why do humans need drama? Why can't China produce dramas for so long? Why did the Yuan Dynasty become the golden age of Chinese drama? Why did the Ming Dynasty have performances that brought joy to the people again and again?

"Truck" was created in 1977 and includes the film's script, shooting instructions and related conversations with Michel Poulter. Two characters, played by famous movie stars Gérard Depardieu and Duras, sit in a room with the doors and windows closed, and the conversation alternates between shots of trucks driving around Paris and stopping to offer rides, and verbal descriptions of a potential film alternating with images of what it might form.

This book is the first release of "The Complete Works of Aristophanes" re-translated and newly launched by Professor Liu Xiaofeng. The complete collection includes 11 existing comedies by Aristophanes and is planned to be released within two to three years. Each book is published in a single line and is not large in length. The format is designed to be small in 32 pages, suitable for carrying around, turning classics from "big bricks" into "little cutes", and entering everyone's pockets from libraries, so that everyone can rub shoulders with classics and nourish their mind. Mammon is actually Aristophanes' last work. The story tells the story of an ordinary farmer who, for personal purposes, went to the sun god Apollo to ask what kind of lifestyle his son should choose, because he discovered that living a righteous life would make him poorer and poorer, while an unjust life would make him richer and richer. The oracle indicated that he should closely follow the first person he met outside the temple and take him home. The farmer followed the literal meaning of the oracle and took the first blind beggar he met back home, only to find that the beggar was the God of Wealth... At the end of the story, the God of Wealth who restored his eyesight did not make all the righteous people rich, but made all the poor rich. However, some poor people also lived a lazy life of doing nothing after they became rich, and social order and ethics have not been well improved. In short, although the farmer succeeds at the end of the script, it actually confirms the God of Wealth's point of view: it is difficult to have both wealth and justice; it also proves the warning of the God of Poverty in the story: poverty (or lack) is the driving force for creating social wealth.

This book contains two of Sartre's most representative plays, "Death Without a Burial" and "Quarantine." "Death Without a Burial" is a play written by French writer Jean-Paul Sartre in 1946. It is Sartre's first play. Sartre successfully injected his existential philosophy into his realistic play "Death Without a Burial". This blend of realism and existentialism gives new meaning to core propositions such as the value of life, free choice, and responsibility for action, and brings vitality to existential literature.

Tian Han is a reformer in the field of Chinese drama and has had a profound impact on the development of Chinese drama. On the one hand, his works exposed the oppression of people by society at that time, and on the other hand, they expressed people's thinking and pursuit of light. For example, his masterpiece "The Death of a Famous Actor" aims to reveal the social destiny of art.

"Before Dawn" describes a progressive young brother and sister who resist the pressure of family and society, join the progressive revolution, and fight in the darkness before dawn.
