This is a veritable "audiobook" with all kinds of he-talks and she-talks that are sharp, gentle, and probing. The characters' pasts become clearer as the dialogue deepens. In terms of what is fact and what is fiction, Roth repeats his old tricks. Side A of the conversation is the real chat record of a cheating couple, and side B is the fictional writing material in the notebook.

The book was adapted into a film of the same name in 1978, directed by the new film giant Fassbinder.

The hero Proctor was framed, but he was unwilling to betray his friends and soul in exchange for a humiliating existence. Using history as a metaphor for the present, Miller perfectly presents a fable about the conflict between good and evil and evil in human nature, revealing the cruelty and ruthlessness of powerful forces, the evil of blind obedience of the mob and the collapse of moral beliefs, and people's choices when disaster strikes. There is the deepest abyss in human nature, but also the most dazzling glory of human nature.

Everyone carries inner secrets and maintains a peaceful life with lies. With the visit of the girl next door and the appearance of a letter, people learned the truth about the disappearance of their youngest son three years ago.

The main plot is the three main protagonists gathered in the third part: Major Passerno, the town guard commander, editor Ash, and deserter Hu Guinao: Hu Guinao, who was originally a businessman, fled the battlefield without permission after being drafted into the army, and fled to the small town of the Electorate of Trier via Belgium. He came to Ash's newspaper because of the advertisement, and then gradually came up with the idea of ​​taking over the newspaper; he happened to meet the major in a hotel restaurant and defrauded him in the name of patriotism. With the trust of the major, he got acquainted with the small town squire, encouraged everyone to invest in the purchase of the newspaper, and then deceived Ash into signing a contract and took the newspaper into his own hands. After his identity as a deserter was exposed, Hu Guinao used the newspaper to spread rumors and cause chaos. Finally, on the day of the chaos, he raped Mrs. Ash, murdered Ash, and kidnapped the unconscious Paseno, and finally returned to his hometown of Colma safe and sound.

The story of the second era takes place in 1903. From 1900 to 1903, another world economic crisis occurred, which resulted in the unemployment of a large number of workers at the bottom of society, intensified the class contradiction between labor and capital, and thus triggered a social crisis. In 1903, August Ash was fired by his boss due to unfounded accounting errors. Later, after being introduced by his friend Martin Guerin, he went to work as an accountant at the Mannheim Mid-Rhine Shipping Company. By chance, he met the manager of the vaudeville theater Alfred Guernat. When he arrived in Ilona, in order to save Ilona, he gave up his job at the Mid-Rhine Shipping Company and returned to Cologne to start a theater business that symbolized his desire for order. However, it ended with the manager absconding with the money. Later, he invested all his property in the theater business and lost everything.

Translation original description: The novel "Washington Square" was first published in serial form in the British "Cornhill Magazine" from June to November 1880. From July to December of the same year, the American "Harper's New Monthly Magazine" also serialized the novel almost simultaneously.

Daisy Miller, an American girl who lived in Italy and "possessed true innocence", was innocent, enthusiastic and cheerful. However, her informal and generous behavior in social situations and the way she interacted with men were not accepted by the European upper class and Americans who had been living in Europe for a long time. They considered her "tawdry", "frivolous" and "naturally vulgar". But Winterburn, an American young man living in Europe, paid no attention to these criticisms. He loved Daisy wholeheartedly, until a bad news suddenly came... Translation original description: The novella "Daisy Miller" was first published in serial form in the British "Cornhill Magazine" between June and July 1878. At that time, the novel was titled "Daisy Miller: A Study". In 1879, Harper & Brothers published a separate version of this novel in New York, and the novel's title was changed to "Daisy Miller". In the same year, the British publishing company Macmillan published this novel and two short stories by Henry James in a collection in London, still titled "Daisy Miller: A Documentary Work." In 1909, Henry James significantly revised the novel and published it in a 24-volume collection of novels compiled by himself (the "New York Edition"). The title of the novel was changed to "Daisy Miller" when it was published. Although the 1909 "New York Edition" is the author's official version, most modern researchers believe that the literary quality of the "New York Edition" of "Daisy Miller" is worse than the first edition. Therefore, classic literary series such as "Penguin Classics" and "American Library" mostly use the 1879 edition instead of the 1909 "New York Edition" when collecting the novel. This translation is from the 2007 edition of "Daisy Miller" in "Penguin Classics" (the original version used is the 1879 British edition), and the translated title follows the "New York edition" in accordance with domestic practice.

This is the first time this novel has been translated and published in the country in more than 120 years since its publication. The novella "Daisy Miller" was first published in 1878.

One day, this intelligent, sensitive, sensitive, super-memory and imaginative telegraph operator deciphered some secrets that she should not have known from the cryptic messages sent to her by customers. This made her involuntarily involved in a high-society dispute. Love turmoil... The novella "In the Cage" was first published in 1898. It has a wonderful conception. Together with "The Turn of the Screw" published earlier in the same year, it is a representative novella in the later period of Henry James's writing career and has always been valued by critics. French postmodernist philosophers Deleuze and Guattari once conducted an incisive analysis of this novel in their book "A Thousand Plateaus". This is the first time this novel has been translated and published in the country in more than 120 years since its publication. Explanation of the original translation: When the novella "In the Cage" was first published, it appeared as a single book. It was published by the British publisher Duckworth & Co. In London in August 1898. In September of the same year, the American publishing company Herbert S. Stone & Co. Published the American version of the book in New York. Since Henry James lived in London for a long time during this period, he was able to personally guide and supervise the editing and publishing process of the British edition of most of his works at that time. Therefore, the British edition of his works often reflects James's revisions more accurately than the American edition. Therefore, the "American Library" edition of the Complete Works of Henry James uses the 1898 British edition when including this novel. This translation is from the "American Library" edition.

The biographies of famous people include three volumes: Beethoven's biography, Michelangelo's biography, and Tolstoy's biography. "The Biography of Beethoven" Beethoven was born in an era when "breaking" and "establishing" were in conflict. He is talented and has composed one song after another that has been handed down from generation to generation; despite his ill-fated fate, he has gone through hardships and still adheres to his original intention of "being devoted to good, loving freedom more than anything else; and never betraying the truth under any circumstances." In this biography, the author not only tells the legendary life of music master Beethoven in beautiful language from different perspectives, but also reveals a great soul to readers. At the same time, Romain Rolland also compiled Beethoven's will and letters into a collection. "The Biography of Michelangelo" Michelangelo has a powerful power that can influence an era. Before him, the artistic sky in Florence was dull and lacked vitality. His appearance blew away the dark clouds hanging over it like a sudden storm. After him, Michelangelo's style influenced artists for almost three centuries. This biography mainly consists of three parts: the first part "Battle", the second part "Abandonment" and the epilogue. The author highly praises Michelangelo's artistic achievements and analyzes his inner world, thus revealing to readers a Michelangelo who is both ordinary and extraordinary, with unparalleled artistic talent and creativity. "The Biography of Tolstoy" Romain Rolland regarded Tolstoy as his spiritual mentor, and Toon's humanitarian feelings deeply moved him. Therefore, studying Toon's artistic creations, letters, and even the reminiscences of his contemporaries became the medium for Romain Rolland to express his admiration for Toon. Thus, an immortal "The Biography of Tolstoy" was born. The author's detailed research on Tolstoy has become the solid foundation of this work. With his extraordinary insight, Romain Rolland shows readers all the important aspects of the creative personality of a generation of literary giants.
