This book is a masterpiece of short stories by Richard Yates. He focuses on ordinary little people: children who are isolated by their classmates after transferring to another school, young men and women who are anxious about their upcoming marriages, instructors who are serious and responsible but not understood by others, who pretend to be ordinary people after being fired. The middle-aged white-collar workers who work outside the home, the clerks who have lofty ideals but have never been able to realize them... Yates's writing style is gentle and a little humorous, but he profoundly writes about the loneliness of ordinary individuals who are out of tune with the rhythm of the times, and outlines the life outline of the little people who can't help themselves. Eleven different stories, every time you open one, there are shadows of thousands of people, and they are all sighs from the deepest heart. Inadvertently, we all fell into the web of loneliness woven by Yates, unable to escape, just as everyone cannot escape their own lives.

In order to live a normal life, I decided to join and asked my classmates to brainwash me... Other included works - "Survival", "Unfinished Novel"... Sayaka Murata told eight stories full of science fiction and absurdity in calm and concise words.

This book is a collection of special articles that Eco wrote for the Milan Art Festival from 2001 to 2015. It is the culmination of Eco's lifelong thinking and research. The book has a total of 12 chapters, starting from key words such as "beauty", "ugliness", "paradox" and "lie", reviewing its history and describing its evolution. Eco is known for his erudition. His research and observations range from literature and philosophy, religion and mythology, mass media and advertising, and his stories are full of wit and humor. In terms of form, this book can be regarded as a companion volume to "The History of Beauty" and "The History of Ugliness". In terms of content, it is the essence of Eco's lifelong research and thought. As the preface says, this book is "Eco's gift to everyone. It is our guide to the contemporary world, and it also allows us to never forget history, allowing us dwarfs to stand on the shoulders of giants."

This book is the only non-fiction work in the life of the great Russian writer Chekhov. However, "Travel to Sakhalin" occupies an irreplaceable position in Chekhov's literary legacy. It can even be called a manifesto of Chekhov's world view and literary practice throughout his life. The Sakhalin region has long been a barren land in Russia. Most of the people living here are hard labor exiles. The living conditions here are extremely difficult. However, what is more terrifying than the harsh natural environment is the human factor: the prevalence of bureaucracy, which destroys human dignity and kindness. Chekhov's records present these bloody facts to every reader, but the value of "Sakhalin's Travels" does not lie in its truth, but in the "human conscience" that shines between the lines. The ultimate purpose of Chekhov's writing is not to criticize and expose, but to protect everyone and fight against "violence and hypocrisy."
