Who did you marry? Who did he marry? Everyday "family trouble" turned out to be an immortal classic. Mrs. Bennet was anxious to marry off her five daughters who were waiting for marriage, so she urged Mr. Bennet to visit the young and wealthy Mr. Bingley before other families did. The two started to quarrel over this. In the hallowed hall of classics, no work is as "down to earth" as Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice. At the beginning, he performed a "family drama" by "talking, learning and singing", but it was never "over the top" or "bloody", it was daily and vivid, and it was performed to the end. Based on daily life and the emotions and desires of ordinary people, the love in Austen's works is true and relevant, and has widespread consensus, and has therefore won a large readership. Its various versions have sold more than 100 million copies worldwide, and the number of film and television adaptations is second only to "Jane Eyre".

Little characters occupy the center of literature; their lives, their anguish and despair are laid bare. What is particularly commendable is the writer's deep sympathy for the suffering people at the bottom. This book is equipped with original illustrations.

A landmark classic in the field of feminist literature. Susan Cuba, a well-known feminist scholar and co-author of "The Madwoman in the Attic", provides a 20,000-word introduction. A Room of One's Own is based on two lectures Woolf gave at Cambridge University in 1928. In 1929, Woolf combined the two speeches into one, entitled "Women and Novel", and published it in the American magazine "Forum". It was later published as a book under the title "A Room of One's Own", which caused a sensation. The style of "Room" is humorous, quirky, and full of quotations. It uses sharp words to interrogate the injustice and oppression of "women" as the second gender in legal and social history, and eloquently puts forward the importance of economic foundation and independent space to women's mental freedom. There is also a wonderful discussion on the idea that "great souls are androgynous". Woolf encouraged women to break the cage in their minds, bravely go to the outside world, cultivate free habits, and create to their heart's content.

As a faithful recorder of mainstream American life in the mid-twentieth century, critics have compared him to Chekhov, Fitzgerald, and John Cheever. "The Liar in Love" is another masterpiece of Yates' short stories after "Eleven Kinds of Loneliness", which perfectly demonstrates the author's keen insight and descriptive power. This book contains a total of 7 short stories. Yates, who is good at writing about "failed life", relies on his keen mind and unique perspective of observation, like a collage art, to present the "little people" and their life fragments in the United States in front of us in three dimensions: failed artists, single-parent families with difficult lives, estranged family relationships, estranged marriages, rebellious daughters, fleeting love affairs, unreliable dreams...

Montaigne (1533-1592) was the most important humanist writer after the French Renaissance and a cold observer of human emotions. In 1572, he began writing the "Collected Essays", which is called "a collection of all kinds of knowledge in the sixteenth century". Among sixteenth-century writers, few are as revered and accepted by modern people as Montaigne. He was an intellectual authority and critic in France before the Enlightenment, and an encyclopedic scholar who conducted dispassionate studies of various national cultures, especially Western culture. Judging from his thoughts and feelings, people seem to regard him as a modern man in his time. His prose, mainly philosophical essays, is world-famous for its rich ideological connotation and is known as the "treasure house of ideas." The Complete Essays of Montaigne, translated by Mr. Ma Zhencheng alone, won the first Fu Lei Translation and Publishing Award. This edition of "The Essays of Montaigne" was specially selected by the translator for our agency. It can be said that the best of the three volumes of the "Complete Works" are contained in it.

Lady Susan of Northanger Abbey

(uk) Jane Austen

184K0

"Northanger Abbey" is different from the other five Austen novels in that it uses an open narrator and an exposed authorial narrative voice, demonstrating the author's authority. It was the first novel Austen planned to publish, and the final draft was completed around 1797, when Austen was about 22 years old. In this novel, the author first showed his talents and his writing style took shape. He used "three or four families in a village" as the life background and narrated a marriage story in a very ironic way. Austen's works reflect the various social conditions at that time through the daily dialogue and communication of gentlemen and ladies. They use humorous language to satirize the phenomena of profit-seeking and vanity. Through comic scenes, they mock people's stupidity, selfishness, snobbery, blind confidence and other despicable and ridiculous weaknesses. "Lady Susan" is Austen's first completed novel. It tells an Austen-style story through intricate letters exchanged between relatives and friends, and in this way it takes the story mode of people talking about other people to the extreme. This book tells the story of a widow, Lady Susan, who is looking for a husband for herself and her daughter. Lady Susan is a very attractive and cunning woman, which adds to the watchability of the story.

The novel uses the suffering of Maslova, a maid in a noble family, and the spiritual awakening process of Nekhludoff, a young nobleman who once hurt her. In the process of his running around to rescue Maslova, the novel extensively and deeply criticizes the corruption and gangsterism of courts, prisons, and bureaucracies. Darkly, it exposed the extravagant and licentious life of the feudal ruling class and the cruel, stupid and inhumane nature of the reactionary officials. It tore off the hypocrisy of the government-run church, reflected the bankruptcy of the countryside and the extreme poverty of the farmers, and sketched a social picture of serfdom Russia that was on the verge of collapse.

"The Idiot" is a novel written by the Russian writer Dostoevsky in the 19th century. He began writing in the autumn of 1867 and published it in 1868. "The Idiot" provides a broad depiction of the Russian upper class after the serfdom reform, involving complex psychological and moral issues. This novel expresses that the world cannot be quantified rationally, and is even beyond human imagination. What is inexplicable and unachievable by humans does not require thinking, and those who think about it and practice it are "idiots". This should be a perfect irony of the belief advocated by many Enlightenment thinkers that "man's logical calculations must conform to the laws of nature, and human calculations are equal to heaven's calculations." This kind of logic that overly believes that the world can be calculated and excludes all contradictions and willful movements is actually the arrogance of human beings.
