Features: Faced with the dazzling and colorful kingdom of world literature, people often sigh in despair because they lack enough time to appreciate its most beautiful scenery. To meet the readers' needs and help them gain the most knowledge in the shortest time, we have invited a group of teachers who have been engaged in the research and teaching of Chinese and foreign literature in universities for many years to compile this book. This book provides faithful abridgments of 90 influential and globally recognized world-class literary masterpieces from ancient and modern times. In addition to adhering to the original plot, the language and structure are also as close as possible to the style and appearance of the original works. It differs from simple content summaries; instead, it offers complete plots, characters, scenes, and dialogues, making it a highly readable book. After reading this book, readers can gain a bird's-eye view of world literature, especially in the fields of novels and drama. This revised and reprinted edition has refined the abridgments by removing some works from the previous edition that did not qualify as "first-class," and has added three world-class masterpieces: War and Peace, Ulysses, and In Search of Lost Time, making the selection more refined and representative than before.
