1Out of Africa
General Fiction走出非洲
(denmark) Karen Blixen
It is Africa that awakens the inner self. From the age of twenty-nine to forty-six, I was always empty-handed because I had touched everything. I always set out again and again, but nowhere is it better than Africa. I have no way of explaining it, but I know the stars are clearer in Africa than anywhere else. Africa took away everything from me, but also gave me everything. "Out of Africa" is an autobiographical novel written by Karen Blixen based on her true experience of living in Africa. In 1914, Karen Blixen followed her husband to Kenya and ran a coffee estate at the foothills of Ngo Mountain. She used her seventeen years of experience and thirty-one years of nostalgia to write an epic about Africa. She also used her courage and strength to define her life.

When all human scientific research is limited to interpreting post-human scientific research results, is this kind of research still necessary? The wife dies while an angel descends to earth, but the husband must learn how to love God in order to be reunited with his wife after death.

6Twelve Years a Slave (translation Classic)
General Fiction为奴十二年(译文经典)
(us)solomon Northup
"Twelve Years a Slave" comes from Solomon's personal experience. He was a free black man living in New York State, but was kidnapped and began his life as a slave. The publication of this book influenced the subsequent abolition movement in the United States and influenced modern American history. It was included in American history textbooks and required reading lists for students. Together with another famous book "Uncle Tom's Cabin", it is called an immortal classic that promoted the abolition process. The place where Solomon Northup was sent was exactly where Uncle Tom was imprisoned in the novel; Northup's description of the life and events there are also strikingly similar to the stories in my novel. --Mrs. Stowe (author of "Uncle Tom's Cabin")
