This book is the reflections of sixteen writers on fertility, family and the meaning of life. The commonality among the thirteen female and three male writers in the book is that they either actively or passively chose not to have children, but the reasons for each of them to arrive at this decision are different. However, they all explore themes such as "loneliness", "self-realization", "fertility instinct" and "childhood trauma" that are closely related to the topic of fertility with admirable candor. Choosing not to have children does not mean that you hate children, that you are more selfish than others, or that you have experienced more childhood trauma than others, nor does it mean that you cannot shoulder your due social responsibilities. This momentous choice is the result of a convergence of personal experiences, family values, and social influences. Each of the sixteen writers in the book actively faced the childless life. They also rationally discussed society's stereotypes about women, and also looked forward to the irreversible cultural changes brought about by the advancement of medical technology and the industrialization process. Sixteen writers represent voices that, although they are in the minority, deserve to be respected and understood. This collection also responds to the impact that the dramatic changes in social organization over the past two decades have had on family and emotional structures. Faced with the possibility that we will eventually be alone in life, how do we establish intimate relationships, how do we stay true to our decisions, and bear the consequences of this decision in our daily lives? This book can be regarded as an iconic reference sample in the fields of family studies and emotion studies.

The work of global best-selling author x lifestyle leader x speaker Alain de Botton has a new preface specially written by de Botton for Chinese readers. Host Liu Xuan, cartoonist Ouyang Yingji, writers Zheng Huajuan and Lu Yujia jointly recommended it. The airport was originally just a transitional space during travel, where only "departures" and "arrivals" occurred. However, in the eyes of Alain de Botton, it has become a museum integrating various cultural aspects. One summer, Alain de Botton was invited to be the "first writer-in-residence" at Heathrow International Airport in the United Kingdom. He can get to know passengers from all over the world and interview all kinds of people, including security personnel, pilots, CEOs, and even airport chaplains; he can also enter and exit the departure hall, arrival hall, airport restricted area and airport hotel at will. In the familiar and mysterious "non-place" of the airport, De Botton uses his unique perspective to explore and observe the wonder and vulgarity... A week later, De Botton wrote this extraordinary cross-border cultural and creative work with his consistent writing style that combines humor and wisdom. He explores travel, work, relationships, and the nature of everyday life, showing us that spending time in an airport can be more enlightening than we give it credit for.

She is the winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award for Review in 2019 and recommended by the New York Times for the year. He is not only a talented novelist, but also a critical commentator.

It not only contains an in-depth understanding of the current era, but also continues the writer's consistent attention and reflection on popular culture, reflecting her diverse cultural insights. Zadie Smith's keen observation is like her beloved dance, which moves freely and freely through different fields. She uses this method to organize her seemingly messy thoughts, while always maintaining an open curiosity; unlike the popular academic writing nowadays, her tone is intimate but not overly personal, her vision is broad but not limited, and she can often see both sides of things at the same time; rather than convincing readers to agree with a certain point of view, she prefers to shape a way of thinking.

De Botton takes the love story of Rabbi and Kirsten as the main theme, supplemented by philosophical and psychological thinking, from the budding of love to the sailing of love, from entering the siege to being trapped in the "city", to extramarital affairs, and finally through self-exploration, the complete process of detached acceptance of marriage, and every step of love and marriage. He made a calm and wise analysis at each stage, laying out his full and deep thinking through delicate situations and integrating concrete and real characters, until people gradually realized that the essence of love is not so much a passion as a skill that needs to be learned. Only by understanding this way can we have the calmness to see through thousands of sails, and accept marriage calmly after all the vicissitudes of life. This book is a work of essays, but also a philosophical, psychological, and sociological work full of wisdom that reveals the rules of love and marriage. It helps us no longer wander around the various dilemmas in the process of love and marriage, and rekindles our enthusiasm for life, and then understands: It is easy to fall in love, it only requires a moment of passion, but it is not easy to maintain love. It requires a lifetime of practice. What we should do is to break the illusion and love more pragmatically, healthily, and non-instinctively.

[We all wonder what will happen to us or our loved ones as they die. ]Put on a smock, disinfect your hands and forearms, and cover your mouth and nose with a mask. It looks like a refugee camp because instead of calling comatose patients by their names, they call them a combination of letters and numbers. "A3, blood sugar dropped." "B9, emotionally unstable." My father is C7, one of the "zombie". I saw him for the first time in 13 years. Henry was a war correspondent, kind, distant, warm and cold; he traveled around the world and was willing to go anywhere except home on a hungover morning. He has a 13-year-old son, Sam, who was only given a photo when he was born and has never been seen since. Henry's emergency contact is always his ex-girlfriend Eddie, whose name also appears in his will, but it was Henry who resolutely gave up on this relationship two years ago. That was the day he had been waiting for a long time - his son Sam, whom he had never met before, invited him to meet him. But on that day, he crashed into a car and fell into a long coma. Henry's lonely, contradictory and fascinating life has become a mystery. He came to the "dream sea", a void between life and death, where his past and present overlapped and intertwined. Henry kept dreaming, revisiting the important moments that changed his life... And through the thick and fluffy layer of anesthesia like a duvet, Sam and Eddie also wanted to know how to get answers to the words that they could not ask...

The Japanese boy Naoki Higashida, the author of "I Want to Fly into the Sky", is a person with severe autism. Although he has difficulty speaking a complete sentence, he can slowly piece together what he really wants to express through the alphabet keyboard, which answers many people's doubts about autistic children. In "I Want to Fly into the Sky", he told people in detail about the inner world of autistic children in the form of questions and answers. Naoki Higashida's answer in the book "I Want to Fly into the Sky" is both sincere and self-deprecating. What's surprising is that he actually knows that some of his behaviors are different from others, even weird, but he just can't control it; he even knows that others will look at him in a strange way, but he is calm and can view it with humor (yes, autistic children also have a sense of humor!). Even if there are no autistic people around you, or you consider yourself a "normal person", the questions and answers in the book "I Want to Fly to the Sky" will still deeply inspire and touch you. "I Want to Fly into the Sky" opens another door for us to communicate with autistic children, and opens up a new perspective for us to observe the world. As long as we understand the reasons behind the behaviors of autistic people, we will understand that children with autism do not have no feelings; on the contrary, they feel very strongly. All they lack is a way to express themselves. They are just different from us. What they especially want to see is the acceptance, understanding and companionship of their parents and friends.

Life does not have an easy start. How much brokenness you have experienced requires courage to find your complete self. A child who grew up in a harsh environment, a troubled teenager, a strong track and field athlete, a top student at Stanford, a music journalist, a successful rock musician... He came from a trough and experienced hardships that others could not imagine. In a difficult childhood and complicated family relationships, he surpassed himself and understood others time and time again, and in the process learned to reconcile with the past and become a better son, brother and father. He sees the pain he has suffered in the past as cracks in his armor, and sees the beautiful world through them, guiding him to rediscover the direction of his life on the first day of his remaining life. This is the growth story of Michael Cholet, an American dark horse writer in 2020. He tells a thought-provoking road to self-salvation in a sincere and delicate way.

Living in Lampedusa is not easy. This small beach broke away from the African continent and migrated towards Europe, as if willing to become a symbol of the bridge between the two. Its destiny has been written by the peculiar geographical conditions, and this destiny not only dominates the land, but also dominates the people who settle on it. Lampedusa, an island closer to the African continent than to mainland Italy, has become a transit point for countless African refugees entering Europe. Desperate people choose to use the most humble and dangerous way of smuggling to stay away from the war and pain in their homeland. The ocean, originally a road of hope, often becomes a hell where its fate is overturned. Organ trade, rape and robbery, brutal smugglers, frequent shipwrecks... Piero Bartolo, the son of a poor Lampedusa fisherman, resolutely returned to his hometown in 1991 and opened the island's first clinic. He never imagined that his clinic would become a trench on the front line of the refugee crisis. Countless emergency treatments, inspections, rescues, and autopsies... For Bartolo and other Lampedusa people, it is unacceptable to leave anyone at sea to be at the mercy of fate. This is the rule of the ocean that no one can violate. Dr. Bartolo uses words as precise and sharp as a surgical scalpel to present a broken life and the mental trauma that can never be healed. These personal records sharply interrogate the boundaries of civilization and identity, asking us to ask why these tragedies occur, and how a society and minds that are increasingly numb to the suffering of others can face the ultimate suffering created by mankind.

In 1957, "On the Road" was published, putting the "Beat Generation" on the literary map and making Kerouac one of the best-selling authors. Just a year later, Dharma Wanderer was published. Compared with its predecessor, this novel has the same openness, humor, and touching enthusiasm for life, but the story is more cohesive, telling the story of two young people's passionate search for Buddhism or truth. Their adventure centers on a quest for Zen, which ultimately leads them up the Sierra Nevada Mountains to realize the path of solitude. One of Kerouac's best and most popular autobiographical novels, "Dharma Wanderer" is based on his real-life experiences in the mid-1950s, when he became interested in Buddhist models of spiritual understanding.

"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.

This book is a "British novel course" for the general public written by Sebastian Fox, an impressive contemporary British novelist. The writing is profound and simple, humorous, full of passion, and filled with the novelist's unique and personalized "preference" for literary characters. It can be described as an alternative history of British novels. The book has a total of twenty-eight chapters, each of which introduces a character in the novel. The author classifies these twenty-eight characters into four different character types (heroes\u002F lovers\u002F snobs\u002F villains), and then systematically analyzes and explains them. The book has a clear style. Each part starts with an introduction, which first introduces the development history of a certain character type as a whole, and then starts the discussion of specific characters on this basis. In each interpretation, the author quotes one or two classic fragments from the novel, and demonstrates the author's writing skills and character creation characteristics of the original novel based on a close reading of the text, allowing readers to understand the full picture of the novel's creation in the details of the flesh-and-blood characters. At the same time, the author also re-examines the evolution of British culture and spirit from the fictional characters.

This manuscript is compiled based on a doctoral thesis. Five chapters in total: "Consumption Memory" generation context, critical analysis of the aesthetic characteristics of "Consumption Memory" "Edge": the subject diversification tendency of current literary memory objects, the theoretical construction of "accumulation memory" from the perspective of survival aesthetics "Accumulation memory" is recreated in crisis. Taking "survival aesthetics" as the internal logical train of thought, a systematic theoretical construction of the ideal "accumulated memory" is carried out. The game between "consumptive memory" and "accumulated memory" has profoundly affected contemporary Chinese literature. The growing influence of "consumer memory" has heralded the emergence of a "memory crisis". In solving the problem of "memory crisis", the reconstruction of "accumulated memory" should be explored from the perspective of "survival aesthetics". Writers who are the subject of memory should consciously restrain their desire for consumption, retain historical consciousness, pursue a poetic lifestyle, and mold ideal personality, etc., And finally use profound "ideological power" to reproduce the past glory of literature.

Aldo Leopold (1887-1948) was a famous ecologist and environmentalist, known as "the pioneer of new environmental theory in the United States" and "the father of land ethics".

In June 2013, the Guardian and the Washington Post successively revealed that the National Security Agency and the FBI had collected massive amounts of user data directly from the databases of nine Internet giants including Google, Facebook, Yahoo, and Microsoft since 2007, triggering an uproar in international public opinion. This was the "Prism Gate" incident that shocked the world. Author Barton Gellman was one of the first three journalists to speak directly to Snowden and received tens of thousands of classified documents from Snowden. Since then, Gelman has embarked on a thrilling journey of investigative reporting. Following the clues provided by Snowden, he peeled off the cocoon, overcame technical obstacles, and went deep into the secret world. He traced the origin and operating mechanism of a series of government surveillance projects such as "Prism", "Starwind" and "Upstream", allowing us to get a glimpse of the huge national surveillance machine. During this period, he was forced to engage in an escalating "espionage war" with unknown opponents. He is regarded by senior government officials as an "accomplice" or "agent" of traitors, and may be raided at any time; he has witnessed the electronic devices in his hands being attacked by hackers, and has to deal with cunning scammers trying to obtain information from time to time. It is even more common to receive malware, phishing emails, etc. Behind these gripping and detailed descriptions, what we see is a rigorous journalist's strong sense of responsibility for holding government power accountable and safeguarding public rights and interests. He is not afraid to expose the abuse of power and moral controversies existing in the U. S. Government's national security work, and arouse public reflection on the limits and principles of the exercise of government power.

Is it so easy to forget the past?

To achieve real innovation and breakthrough in the study of literary thought, more literary history and literary criticism history are needed, especially the accumulation and reflection of philosophy, anthropology, history, and poetics resources since the 20th century. It also requires the construction of original theories in an interdisciplinary sense. "Research on Literary Thought" is an attempt to conduct interdisciplinary research on literary thought from this perspective. This kind of "interdisciplinary" is more about starting from different disciplines, "thinking" about literature and problematizing it. Whether it is drama research, contemporary prose research, classical poetry research, or German thought research, they are all trying to start from different aspects and turn "literary thought" into "ideological literature" as an ever-on-going activity. In this sense, "the study of literary thought" should be thinking through literature, just like thinking through psychoanalysis. Although I can't come, my heart longs for it.
