Compared with the creation of novels in his early period, Bellow mainly concentrated on the creation of short and medium-length novels in his later period. At this time, Bellow's cultural stance and value orientation as a Jewish writer had changed, or deepened. Most of these short stories and short stories have the theme of "searching". By recalling the ancient and warm Jewish tradition, they show the confusion and spiritual crisis encountered by contemporary Jewish immigrants in the United States. The writing style is implicit and alert, reflecting the author's consistent control over words. It is full, steady, and broad-minded, giving people the feeling of reading a novel, but it is also refined and controlled. This is in interesting contrast with Bellow's statement that "novel should be written as short as possible."

When Saul Bellow was advised to write his autobiography, he always said there was nothing to write about, he was just too busy. Busy writing novels, occasionally writing essays; busy falling in love, getting married, becoming a father, divorcing, making friends, making grudges, and being sad; busy with major historical events, busy with minor literary matters; busy with reading a lot, busy fulfilling his teaching duties, and teaching until he was old. Especially busy writing letters to his successive wives, his sons, his fellow writers, readers who liked him and disliked him, people chasing him for autographs, obsessive sycophants, and severe mental patients, etc. Not all great writers are good at writing letters. Letter writing seems to be a talent that can exist in its own right, as mysterious as artistic talent. Obviously, Saul Bellow had this artistic talent. In this collection of letters, Bellow shows readers his true self. When he was passionately in love, he would say: "Susie and I could be very happy even on an ice floe." When he was in a bad mood, he would yell at his ex-wife Sandra: "You almost f**king killed me... I will write all the sins I suffered at your hands into "Herzog" Of course, this collection of letters, which began in 1932 and ended in 2005, also contains Bellow's meditations on literature, politics, and philosophy. It is a record of his mental journey over more than seventy years, and a representation of several aspects of American society in the twentieth century.

Do you also have an obsession? Obviously it can't be realized, but I still want to do it! Nominated for the Nobel Prize three times, this is the masterpiece of literary genius Yukio Mishima.

It is based on real events and tells the story of how the stuttering and ugly young Mizoguchi embarked on the path of burning down the Golden Pavilion Temple.

"The Great Divergence" is the masterpiece of Pomeranz, a representative of the California School, and has been a best-seller for 20 years. In this book, based on a large amount of materials, Pomeranz examines the economic development of major countries in Europe and Asia in the old world and their core regions, and explores a series of key issues that affect the formation of the modern world economy: Why did England not become Jiangnan? Why have China and Europe taken different paths? According to Pomeranz, in 1750, the economic core areas of England and China were very similar in terms of life expectancy, agricultural product market, labor system, land use, capital accumulation and technology. The ecological environment in the core areas of China and Japan was no worse than that of Western Europe. Throughout the 18th century, the core areas of the Old World faced local shortages of land-intensive products. The East and the West are on generally similar economic development paths, and the West has no obvious advantage.

"The Lighthouse" is Siegfried Lenz's most popular novella. It tells the story of the heroic struggle between the crew of a lighthouse and a group of fugitives who robbed the ship. The plot of the novel is full of twists and turns, and at the same time it is profound in meaning and rich in philosophy. Although it looks like a thriller on the surface, it is actually a realistic work that reflects the social status of Germany and even Europe in the 1950s. The author uses this story to express his point of view: Europe after the war is not peaceful, and kind people must remain highly vigilant against those who disrupt social order. This book also contains three short stories: "Lehman's Narration", "Serbian Girl" and "An Emergency Method of Self-Defense".

No one can predict the day when death will come, and doctors, no matter how skilled they are, can do nothing. While Ralph Roberts was accompanying his wife, Caroline, for several months of treatment, he clearly heard the ticking sound of death bugs coming from his wife's body, as if it was an invitation from death. About a month after his wife's death, Ralph suffered from insomnia. He would wake up earlier than the day before every day until he could hardly sleep all night. Insomnia gradually changed Ralph's life. He tried to resist, but found that everything around him became strange. He actually began to see things that others could not see: "balloon strings" floating above people's heads, colorful haloes lingering on people, and two strange short bald men haunting the streets at night... The daily life of a small town in Maine seemed to be out of control. People kept having personality mutations, and all behaviors seemed to be caused by mental disorders. It's as if death has descended on this town and grabbed it by the throat. Ralph is gradually lost in reality and illusion...

At the same time, she is also worried that her brother, who often disappears, will go astray.

This boy named Slater looks about the same age as her, and his gray eyes reveal mystery and vicissitudes of life. The boy is very silent, always reciting some nightmare-like scenes. Slowly, she discovered more weird behaviors of the boy, and she realized that the boy did not appear by chance. He seemed to have been waiting for her to appear, and he had been waiting since long, long before she was born. Their fate took an unpredictable turn from the moment they met.

"Confessions of a Mask" is Yukio Mishima's early famous work and one of his masterpieces. It has epoch-making significance in the history of Japanese literature and is rated as "the core and root of Mishima literature". "Confessions of a Mask" is autobiographical in nature, describing the growth process and complex psychological activities of the protagonist "I". In the novel, the sexual desires connected with the happy desires of young people are correctly and calmly organized, expressed, and literaryized. This is not only an important way to understand Mishima's deep thoughts, but also becomes an important reference sample of "youth" that everyone has experienced and frequently reviewed. Mishima adheres to the extreme concept of "people should die when they are young and beautiful". Almost all of his works are "youth-oriented", but only "Confessions of the Mask" is the pinnacle of youth and the swan song of youth.

"The delicious food that cells pursue is to take life in a better direction. I think the ultimate delicious food is food that makes cells happy." The relationship between life and taste is constantly thought about. However, looking at today, environmental pollution has gradually made us lose the food we can trust. Food is also pursuing simplicity and speed. People have forgotten the essence of "eating", and they don't know how to live better. The worried author proposed five indicators for the world: "awe", "sensibility", "intuition", "adaptation and response ability" and "gentle heart", hoping to provide solutions for future generations when they face difficulties in survival. The author writes about how he lives out his work in the kitchen, where he finds out the answer to "why people eat", understands that "life is connected to other lives through food", and conveys the touching wisdom of "eating in accordance with the local customs". He hopes that everyone can make soups and dishes with the thought of seeing the smiles of their loved ones.

"Five Decline of Heaven and Man", the final chapter of "Sea of ​​Fertility", Mishima's last work, the reincarnation of the past, just like time stops in Buddhism, everything in the world is like a dream, but the untarnished spiritual power lasts forever. "There is nothing, neither memory nor anything exists. It is extremely lonely."

The aristocratic boy and girl Kiyoaki and Satoko are childhood sweethearts. As they get older, the relationship between the partners turns into love between a man and a woman. The two failed to adapt to the changes in emotions, resulting in suspicion and estrangement. It wasn't until Satoko was engaged to the royal family by her parents that the two of them acted in a panic. The love that could have developed naturally and matured turned into a dangerous affair. In a hurry, Satoko becomes pregnant, dragging the family's fate into crisis. In order to protect the family, Satoko had an abortion and became a nun. Qing Xian missed Satoko but couldn't find her, and died of pneumonia. This touching story was originally a rumor in temples in Kyoto and Nara. Mishima created "Spring Snow" based on this rumor. Pure love runs through "elegant taboo" and "blasphemous joy", and in this opposition, beauty is discovered, created, and destroyed. Technically, it blends Japanese classical dynasty novels and modern novel techniques, and has been praised as "comparable to "The Tale of Genji"" and has become the most popular masterpiece to win the Nobel Prize for Literature.

Reincarnated in "The Beauty of Sex", Mishima's soul will never rest in peace. Mishima said, "As soon as a person turns 30, his name will be quickly forgotten like peeling paint. The reality represented by those names is more illusory and useless than dreams, and will be gradually abandoned by daily life." However, Mishima's heroic scene of begging for death has always stood out in front of the world, becoming his literary and even aesthetic label. The dream that haunts Iinuma repeatedly uses the reincarnation of Princess Moonlight to make Mishima's beauty, together with his body and soul, a vigorous sacrifice in the book. In the strange "sexual" aesthetics caused by gender misplacement, Mishima integrated himself into the Four Seasons of the Sea of ​​Fertility, reincarnating a fully mature and full kingdom of "sexuality", forging a twisting soul echo, a kingdom of Akatsuki that knows no difference between day and night.

As time goes by, the sublime turns into comedy bit by bit, Mishima's perfect narrative work. Honda remembered what Kiyoaki said after his dream eighteen years ago before his death: "We will meet again. We will definitely meet again, under the waterfall..." Honda believed that Isao was the reincarnation of Kiyoaki. But Ionuma Isao's character is very different from Kiyoaki. He is fierce and resolute. His highest belief is the "sword", which is "killing himself in the sun"! Ultimately, he assassinated the financial tycoon Takesuke Kurohara who he believed to be the source of the crime.

A total reckoning of sex and beauty, intoxicated by the imagination of the sun and iron. For those who have survived the dreams written by Mishima Yukio, Mishima's imagination will always be a symbol of their encounter with the sun. The tight and expanding summer sun dominates the nocturnal universe as tightly as the physical bodies of men and women. Just like in the Iron Age, heavy blunt knives had an obligation to maintain a balance of blood flow with human muscles. The sex and beauty in "Forbidden Color" are like Mishima's spirit and strength. They need the exposure of the summer sun and the upbringing of iron, singing the fatal temptation of romance and freshness in the darkness.

"Wisdom Tank" was first compiled in the sixth year of Tianqi in the Ming Dynasty (1626). It is a collection of wisdom stories from the pre-Qin Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty. The whole book is divided into ten parts: superior wisdom, wise wisdom, discerning wisdom, courageous wisdom, technical wisdom, quick wisdom, language wisdom, military wisdom, boudoir wisdom, and miscellaneous wisdom. There are 28 sub-categories including Zhiwei, Xionglue, and Wise Enlightenment, including more than 1,200 stories of think tanks from past dynasties. It is not only a wonderful book that reflects the ancient people's clever use of wisdom to solve problems and defeat enemies, but also a huge resource collection in the history of Chinese culture. Based on the principle of learning from the past, this book selects representative chapters from the original book and interprets them carefully. I hope it can help readers absorb the nutrients for success while reading, enrich their own experience, and become a successful wise man.

It likes to use poetic techniques and syntax to write words, and is not limited to music and rhythm.

There is the majestic atmosphere of "The river goes eastward, the waves are panning for gold, and the romantic figures of the ages"; there is the desolate and majestic atmosphere of "Drunk with a lamp burning the sword, and the dream of blowing the trumpet in the camp"; Bold words are not only an art, but also the call and resonance of the soul. This is not only a collection of words, but also a heroic and inspirational book that inspires emotions, inspires people to work hard, and expands their minds.

A dynasty picture scroll with a mixture of fiction and reality, a romantic legend about Oedipus for a young boy, and Junichiro Tanizaki's feelings about Oedipus that have not yet been fully expressed for half a century. "Major General Ziqian's Mother" was written in 1949. It mainly describes the story of Major General Ziqian's mother in the Yuan family. The Hara family was a peerless beauty in Japan's Heian period, and she married Kunikune, who was fifty years older than her. Shihei, who was the left minister at the time, was greedy for the beauty of the Zaiyuan clan, so he planned to seize the Zaiyuan clan during the National Sutra Family Banquet and incorporated it into his own palace. The young Ziqian missed his mother eagerly, and with the help of others, he was able to visit his mother, but was later discovered by the cunning Shiping. After that, Ziqian could no longer contact his mother behind the high wall. However, the old man Guo Jing, who lost his beloved wife, could not restrain his longing for his wife, so he studied Buddhism and died in depression. In the end, Ziqian, who has reached middle age, could not suppress the longing for his mother. By chance, he finally met Zaiyuan, who had already become a monk. Aesthetic writer Junichiro Tanizaki uses the classical literary techniques of "The Tale of Genji" to narrate the ups and downs of the two families, which is thought-provoking.

The masterpiece of Irish literary master Colm Tóibín is an astonishing work that was shortlisted for the Booker Prize three times. Oscar-winning actress Meryl Streep recorded the audio book for "The Confessions of Maria". The play of the same name "The Confessions of Maria" toured New York, London, Dublin, Chicago and other places, and was shortlisted for the Tony Award for Best Screenplay. The image of the Virgin Mary is deeply rooted in people's hearts through Western paintings and sculptures. However, except for a few phrases in the Bible and some religious research works, there are almost no works that depict this most famous mother in Western history in a literary and artistic way. Through the novel "The Confessions of Mary", Colm Tóibín casts his imagination on the most sacred yet mysterious mother and child - Mary and Jesus. Directly through the mouth of Mary, he allowed the Virgin, who always presented a silent and gentle image, to speak her own voice. Several years after Jesus' martyrdom, Mary was living alone in Ephesus. In fear and sadness, she recalled the process before and after her son's death. She felt that her son was a vulnerable man in those turbulent times and that those around him were untrustworthy. Mary struggled to tell the truth as she understood it. A full-character and unforgettable image of Mary, deeply rooted in the readers' hearts through Tobin's rich imagination and concise and powerful language portrayal.

In the second year of Genroku (1689), Basho left Edo, accompanied by his disciple Kawai Soryo, and traveled around Ou and Hokuriku on foot for 5 months, covering a distance of about 2,350 kilometers, and finally arrived in Ogaki. He recorded what he saw, heard, felt, and realized in exquisite writing, and compiled it into a book - "Oshu Trail" in the form of prose and haiku. It pushes the theory of "not easy to become popular" advocated by Matsuo Basho to the extreme, and is also the pinnacle of ancient Japanese travel literature.

This book is based on the author's personal experience of traveling in China from 1919 to 1920. The story takes place in the British colony of Hong Kong and a place called "Meitan Mansion" in inland China. The heroine Katie Finn had an affair with Charlie, the assistant chief secretary of Hong Kong. Her husband Walter (a bacteriologist in the Hong Kong government) found out and forced her to go to Meitan Mansion where cholera was rampant. Unfortunately, Walter eventually contracted the disease and died. Katie returned to Hong Kong and fell into the arms of Charlie. She was so ashamed that she finally returned to the UK to reconcile with her father and went to live with her father in the Bahamas. From the book, readers can see the ambiguity and contradiction behind a seemingly indifferent narrator: as a part of the imperial narrative, the author's orientalist political and cultural views are hidden under the veil; as an individual writer who pays attention to human nature, his doubts and longing for love, ridicule and tolerance of human nature are hidden under his veil.
