"Sen no Rikyu: The Posthumous Writings of Honkakubo" is one of the representative works of the late Japanese writer Yasu Inoue. The novel is based on a famous event at the end of the Warring States Period in Japan: Sen no Rikyu, a tea sage, was killed by Toyotomi Hideyoshi. As Toyotomi Hideyoshi's tea head, Sen no Rikyu's death has always been a mystery. How Rikyu angered Hideyoshi and was actually ordered to commit seppuku by the person he had been serving for so long has been a topic of discussion among historians and history buffs for hundreds of years, as well as a source of inspiration for novelists. Most novelists explain Rikyu's seppuku incident from various aspects such as historical background, interpersonal relationships, conspiracies and intrigues. There has never been a shortage of discussions on major life issues such as life and death in Japanese literature. In this book, Rikyu does not use the tea ceremony to understand life and death, but uses life and death to understand the tea ceremony, so that the "silent tea" he has pursued throughout his life can truly be realized.

"The Divine Comedy" is a long epic poem. Each part of the trilogy has thirty-three cantos, plus the first canto as the overture to the whole book, for a total of one hundred cantos. This symmetrical structure is based on medieval concepts of the mysterious meaning and symbolism of numbers. From a moral point of view, this fictional magical journey is the learning process of the soul. Virgil symbolizes reason and philosophy. She guides Dante to travel to hell and the pure world, symbolizing that people understand the consequences of sin through reason and philosophy, and thus repent; Beatrice symbolizes faith and theology. She guides Dante to travel to heaven and finally see God. It symbolizes that people understand eternal truth through the path of faith and the enlightenment of theology, achieve the ultimate goal, and obtain the happiness of eternal life in the next life. Dante uses the personal soul's learning process as an example to inspire people to reflect on their own thoughts and actions and pay close attention to the dark social reality, so as to promote the early realization of Italy's hope for political and moral revival. Around this central idea, "The Divine Comedy" extensively reflects reality, gives an artistic summary of medieval culture, and at the same time shows the dawn of humanistic thought in the Renaissance era. Therefore, Engels called him "the last poet of the Middle Ages and the first poet of the new era."

Innsmouth was a small settlement founded on the port in 1643. Shipbuilding was originally its main export industry, and fishing was also developed. After the War of 1812, the town declined. However, due to the trading between the merchant ship captains who had great power in the area and the deep divers, a half-human and half-frog underwater race, by offering human sacrifices in exchange for gold and fish catches, the locals eventually began to mix with the deep divers who regularly climbed ashore. So in the end, most of the local people have the characteristics of monsters. Even if they look like ordinary people, these characteristics will begin to appear at a certain age. In the end, all mixed-race locals will be transformed into deep divers and live in the sea as long as they do not die before the transformation is completed. That's why we don't see old people in Innsmouth. The residents of Innsmouth are deeply involved in the weird atmosphere such as Dagon belief. Due to these phenomena, Innsmouth has become a place that people from neighboring areas avoid. The only means of transportation are buses run by locals.

After he fled the local area in panic, the local anomalies attracted the attention of the government. After extensive investigations, the people of Innsmouth were arrested collectively, and the local area became a dead city.

Osamu Dazai's helpless swan song of life deep in the soul is written to the self in our hearts that was once cowardly but eager to realize. "Disqualified" is the last work of Dazai Osamu's life, and it is also an eternal classic of Japanese literature. The whole book describes Ye Zang's continuous sinking in order to escape reality from childhood, adolescence to middle age. He experienced self-exile, alcoholism, suicide, numbing himself with drugs, and finally walked towards the tragedy of destruction step by step. Through Ye Zang's life experiences and the process of constant self-denial, Dazai Osamu also expressed the depressed emotions buried deep in his heart and the desire to be loved. Therefore, this work is regarded as Dazai's semi-autobiographical work. Through this work, he attempted to raise the most sincere and sharp questions about being a human being to the world. The contradictions and struggles accumulated throughout his life can be seen between the lines. The wonderful thing is that even though Ye Zang mocks himself for "a life full of shame," he is still fascinating, as if he is the only one who truly sees the essence of human beings in the world, shouts out the ugliness of human nature on behalf of the world, and steps towards the road of gradually losing his qualifications as a human being like atonement. After completing this work, Osamu Dazai committed suicide by drowning at the age of 38, marking the final end of his disqualified life.

"Selected Main Philosophical Works of Descartes" is a selected translation of the philosophical works of René Descartes, an important French philosopher in the 17th century. It covers Descartes' main philosophical works, including "A Discourse on Method", "Meditations on First Philosophy", "Principles of Philosophy" and "Passion of the Soul". Among them, "Principles of Philosophy" has not been published in Chinese translation since 1958.

Hegel called him "the father of modern philosophy". The four Descartes works in this anthology have been translated and published in Chinese single editions earlier, but some of them are difficult to find due to their age, and some of them have inherited many errors in the original versions. This book examines the Latin, French and English versions of Descartes's works, marking the differences between the versions, which helps readers grasp Descartes' philosophical thoughts more carefully and accurately through comparison.

Although "Sense and Sensibility" is Jane Austen's first novel, her writing skills are already quite proficient. Every plot in the story has been ingeniously conceived by the author. The superficial causal relationship and the underlying reasons hidden behind the scenes are all natural and reasonable. The heroine makes reasonable speculations and judgments based on superficial phenomena. Although careful readers may have various doubts from time to time, their thoughts will naturally develop with good observations. When the final result appears, it will be completely different from the superficial phenomena, resulting in an unexpected comedy effect. If you read it over again, you will find that the factors that lead to the inevitable result have already been seen between the lines. The plot of the novel revolves around the mate selection activities of the two heroines, focusing on revealing the bad habit of using marriage as a way for women to seek economic security and improve their economic status in the British social trends at that time, and the ugly fashion of focusing on family status and ignoring women's feelings and human rights. The heroines in the novel all pursue equal communication and exchange of thoughts and feelings with men, demand equal rights in social status, and insist on independent observation, analysis, and freedom to choose men. In Britain at the time, this was almost a cry of defiance.
