Five People You Meet in Heaven

I

81K02

"Each of us will affect another person, and another person will affect the next person. The world is full of all kinds of stories, but all the stories are connected into one story." Some stories are destined to start from the ending - in fact, are all endings not just beginnings? "Tuesday" ends with Morrie's sudden death. Six years later, in Mitch Albom's new masterpiece, documentary has been replaced by fiction; death has evolved from the ending to the beginning; the protagonist is still an old man - not a professor who knows the world, but a veteran and amusement park maintenance worker who is confused about his life until his death. His name was Eddie. On his eighty-third birthday, he died in a playground to save a girl who was in danger in an accident. When Eddie woke up, he was already in heaven, and then he discovered that it was not the Garden of Eden where pastoral songs lingered, but the overlapping reappearance of fragments of life on earth. Five people who are either remembered, ignored or forgotten by Eddie take turns to appear, leading him to search for the lost time and ask for the answer to the mystery of life. Everyone who reads this book will share the same secret and then re-examine their time on earth. "The Five People You Met in Heaven" is a fable about love that pays tribute to all the obscure ordinary lives and ultimately arouses every reader's love and desire for home.

Recommended by Jin Shijie, JJ Lin, and "Downton Abbey" Dan Stevens, "Tuesday" is a masterpiece by author Mitch Albom. It is a heartwarming fable that heals the rush of the times and breaks away from calculation and wasted time. "When we try to turn back the clock, what we are chasing is love." He is revered as the "Father of Time" because he invented the first clock; he was severely punished by God like Prometheus because he dared to measure time, which is the best gift God gave to mankind. He was imprisoned by God in a bottomless cave, listening to the same words year after year, which are the same words that will never be restored. They are the earnest pleas from the people on the earth. They are diligent and demanding for time. They want to turn back the clock and let time stop for them. Just when the "Father of Time" was about to suffer a mental breakdown from being tortured by these pleas, he was forgiven by God and accepted a mission: to carry a magic hourglass to the earth to enlighten all living beings and reveal the true meaning of "time". At the same time, God also assigned two partners to him, one is a girl who wants to commit suicide because of a broken love, and the other is a rich man who hopes to rely on modern technology to live forever. The "Father of Time" must save them both before he can finally complete his own redemption.

"The Wind Rises" is Tatsuo Hori's masterpiece. The novel was published four times in different publications such as "Reform", "Literary Spring and Autumn", "New Women's Garden", and "New Wave" from December 1936 to April 1938, and was finally compiled into a chapter. The work describes the male protagonist accompanying his fiancée Setsuko to recuperate in the mountains. The two seek happiness in life together despite illness but have to face death. It depicts their yearning for happiness, helplessness towards reality, self-reflection and loyalty to love. The novel's writing style is delicate, and the emotions can be seen on the back of the paper, giving the whole work an unforgettable and tragic atmosphere. The work uses a large number of psychological descriptions to directly touch the inner world of people in love, reflecting the author's obvious psychological tendency, especially the appearance of Rilke's "Requiem" in the last part, which finds the spiritual home for the hero and makes the whole story conclude in philosophical reflection. It integrated the quiet lyrical style that began to form in the literature of the Heian Dynasty into its own creation. What he wrote was a "unique love life". This kind of love happiness was cultivated in the lonely life in the mountain sanatorium. It was not a happy happiness, but a "sad happiness", a "life happiness with more or less the breath of death". The novella "Naoko" reflects the hesitation and pursuit of an ordinary woman on the road of life through the description of the complex and subtle psychological activities of the protagonist Naoko surrounding her husband Keisuke Kurokawa and her childhood friend Akira Tsuzuki while she was recuperating in a sanatorium.

"Where Angels Fear to Go" is Forster's first novel and his most famous work. The title of the book is taken from the second half of a poem by the English poet Pope.
