"Sense and Sensibility" is Jane Austen's first officially published work, and its light is often overshadowed by "Pride and Prejudice". In fact, the good things about "Sense and Sensibility" take longer to savor. The novel takes the twists and turns of the marriage turmoil of sister Elinor and sister Marianne as the main line. Through the humorous comparison of "reason and emotion", it raises issues of moral and behavioral norms. Although the two sisters have very different personalities, neither of them is willing to give in easily under the pressure of survival, and neither wants marriage to become just a "financial management product" in a certain sense. In Austen's view, only through this means of continuous self-improvement can women in a disadvantaged position achieve complete happiness.

Somerset Maugham included it as one of the top ten novels in the world, and the famous American literary critic Edmund Wilson said that amidst the changes in literary tastes, "Shakespeare and Jane Austen are the only ones that have endured for a long time." In the novel, Squire Bennett's family has five daughters who are waiting for marriage. The major event in Mrs. Bennett's life is to marry off her daughters. Several love stories unfold as Mr. Bingley rents Netherfield Hall. Due to many misunderstandings, Elizabeth formed a deep "prejudice" against Darcy's "arrogance". What follows is a series of misfortunes that bring the Bei family to its lowest ebb, and this is when the plot of the novel begins to take a turn for the worse. Eventually, prejudice dissolves and arrogance takes on a brighter side. In terms of its attitude towards marriage and love, Pride and Prejudice can still directly resonate with modern women.

The debut novel by Japanese literary genius Ryu Murakami won the Akutagawa Prize, Japan's highest literary award, and the Newcomer Award for Group Portrait. The origin of Japan's "transparent" literary genre touches the pain of youthful confusion. In the late 1970s, Japan experienced a stage of rapid economic development and began to enter a mature stage of capitalism. However, the unprecedented improvement in material living standards has not brought happiness to a group of young men and women living near the US military base in Fussa District, Tokyo. On the contrary, in their eyes, society is like a huge black bird, casting a shadow over the city that makes people unable to escape, making them breathless. This group of people have nothing to do all day long and indulge in a dissolute life. But after the fanaticism passed, I found that I was still confused about life.

"Li Qingzhao and His Reception History" is a research monograph on Li Qingzhao, a female poet in the Song Dynasty. The author combed through numerous relevant materials from ancient to modern times, and through rigorous analysis and demonstration, believes that later generations' understanding of the image of Li Qingzhao as a talented woman and their attitude toward her have undergone gradual changes. Almost all common remarks about Li Qingzhao are the product of careful interpretation. Only after being refracted through the prism of tradition, was Li Qingzhao accepted by orthodox culture. In order to strengthen her traditional image, later generations even mixed in the works of Li Qingzhao collected in the Ming Dynasty with later pseudo-works. The author peels off the layers of burdens imposed on Li Qingzhao over the centuries to reconstruct an image of Li Qingzhao that is close to his original appearance, and reveals the interesting history of Li Qingzhao's acceptance over the centuries.

"Christopher and His Kind" is the autobiographical masterpiece of the famous British-American novelist Christopher Isherwood. It was adapted into a film of the same name by the BBC, starring "Doctor Who" Matt Smith. The novel records Isherwood's experiences traveling in Europe in the 1930s. From the calm and marginal perspective of a "foreigner" and "minority", it records the chaos from the inception to the outbreak of World War II. It includes the apocalyptic scene of Berlin, which was seething with all kinds of evil, chaos, and violence under the shadow of the Nazis; a sweet but hopeless relationship with the worker boy Heinz; the battlefield experience of walking with Auden, life and death in China hanging by a thread; and interesting anecdotes in the literary and film circles during his travels in Europe, and his interactions with celebrities such as Maugham, Forster, Woolf, Thomas Mann's family, and Brecht. Isherwood is extremely good at capturing personality traits accurately, all of which form a unique character map unique to him. His works are richly autobiographical and constitute wonderful social satirical fables. Isherwood and the famous poet Auden were lifelong friends, and this book also records the unique bond between the two.

A great novel in the style of George Orwell, an apocalyptic fable that breaks through the alienation of human existence. More than 20 suicide cases occurred in a large company. "I" was ordered to go to the town where the company is located to investigate the truth. However, the investigation work has repeatedly encountered obstacles. The whole town is in a weird atmosphere. The residents of the town have inexplicable hostility towards "me" and seem to be hiding ulterior secrets. "I" met all kinds of people, but all of them had no names and were only referred to by their professions, such as: police, guards, waiters, persons in charge, etc... The investigation itself has become meaningless. "I" sank deeper and deeper, gradually losing myself, and was finally locked in a can and disappeared without a trace. Absurd, cruel, and indifferent, it follows Kafka's "The Castle" and Voltaire's "The Innocent" with a desolate smile; it uses setting, focus, and transformation to pay homage to Chaplin's "Modern Times" and Terry Gilliam's "Brazil" with a film-like textual quality.
