Features: Emerson, the American writer, 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 fashionable. However, regardless of the past, present, or future, they will continue to nourish us. The "Interpreting Masters · UNESCO Readings" series premieres three volumes: Literature, Music, and Art. 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 instead examine them historically and reflect on themselves—this is a spiritual connection with the masters. There is no dry of facts or monotonous eight-legged essays. Each article has its own unique perspective, which reflects the author's cultural cultivation, life experiences, and intellectual insights. Thus, it is vivid—a collision of souls. The series includes a wealth of historical photographs and background information on the individuals, 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 unique insights into the masters.
