Features: This book is divided into six parts according to the type of works: fiction, drama, fairy tales, essays, poetry, and fables. In each part, the selected works not only highlight traditional classical beauty from the classicalism and modern romanticism periods but also appropriately include some 20th-century realist works that embody highly modern aesthetic characteristics. Under each classic work, this book features columns such as "Author Spotlight" (introducing the author's life, major works, and related creative stories), "Content Overview" (a summary of the work's content), "Reading Guide" (expert-written analyses and reading guidance articles on the work), "Exquisite Excerpts" (classic passages or chapters that reveal the spirit and style of the work), and "Excerpt Appreciation."
