Features: Western literature is not only the history of the Western mind but also the history of our mind. This river of literature reveals a spiritual world far broader, deeper, and more mysterious than the universe. Every thoughtful reader can discover themselves within it. The "Lectures by Renowned Scholars" series is a major initiative launched by Peking University, with collaboration from over ten key universities and research institutions across the country. The series aims to publish 100 titles, covering major disciplines such as literature, history, philosophy, art, social sciences, and natural sciences. To date, it is one of the most comprehensive, large-scale, and well-compiled series of popular reading materials and textbooks in its field. The positioning of this series is "general education," a high-quality popularization of academic subjects that meets the needs of readers from all walks of life to acquire knowledge and enhance their literacy. It is also designed to support the advancement of quality education in universities, serving as both teaching materials and supplementary reading for undergraduate general education courses.
