Features: American writer Emerson once said, "If you meet a talented person, you should ask what books they are reading." Those who are called masters are mostly already deceased, and most are not in vogue. However, regardless of the past, present, and future, they will continue to nourish us. The "Interpreting Masters · UNESCO Reader" series premieres three volumes: Literature, Music, and Fine Arts. The books gather essays and by over a hundred contemporary and modern writers, scholars, and experts commenting on masters. Most of these authors have experienced the Cultural Revolution, ideological liberation, and reform and opening up. They no longer look up to masters but examine them historically and reflect on themselves—this is a spiritual connection with masters. There is no dry of facts or monotonous eight-legged essays. Each article has its own unique perspective, and the authors' choices reflect their cultural cultivation, life experiences, and intellectual insights. Thus, the writing is vivid—a collision of souls. The series includes a wealth of historical photographs and background information on figures, hoping to attract readers at all levels and provide them with greater visual and imaginative space. May this series bring readers an active reading experience, and we believe they will gain their own insights into masters from it.
