The Small Books of Great Masters series carefully selects small works by great masters: some are popular readings written to help the public understand profound knowledge, others are reflective essays written while immersed in books, travelogues after journeys, or life recollections shared by the fireside in winter. The themes are broad, the styles diverse, covering literature, philosophy, sociology, archaeology, anthropology, religion, ethics, and other disciplines of the humanities. They are concise yet not lengthy, intimate yet not cluttered.
The Foreign Classics series recommends a collection of exquisite foreign cultural books. The works selected come from great masters across countries, representing the essence of the humanities. Many are the masterpieces of their authors and are easily readable. With varied themes and styles, they encompass literature, history, philosophy, religion, society, ethics, as well as essays, prose, travelogues, autobiographies, novels, and treatises. A small book holds the wisdom of humanity. In relaxed reading, we open our hearts to the world.
