Features: The Classic Translation Series from Wanguo. This love story reflects the views on love and sexuality of Westerners in modern and contemporary times from all aspects, describing various crises that arise in the love lives of Westerners. This alienated love life in the West is rarely known to Chinese readers. It opens a window to the spiritual world of Westerners and provides a reference coordinate for our evolving views on love and sexuality as the market economy develops. The book carefully selects classic short stories from Western modern literature masters such as Joyce, Lawrence, Huxley, Maugham, Fitzgerald, and Malamud from the 1920s to the 1960s, as well as award-winning works by other British and American writers since the 1980s and 1990s (most of which have been translated only once before). The proportion of modern and contemporary works is roughly equal. These selected works emphasize the portrayal of characters' psychology and consciousness, focusing on revealing the deeper and broader inner world of characters from a psychoanalytic perspective. They not only have high artistic value but also strong readability.
