Features: American writer Ralph Waldo Emerson once said, "If you meet a talented person, you should ask what books they are reading." Those who are called masters are mostly deceased, and most are no longer in vogue. However, regardless of the past, present, or 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 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, chosen by the author to reflect their cultural refinement, life experiences, and intellectual insights. Thus, the writing is vibrant, like a collision of souls. The series includes a wealth of historical photographs and background information on the individuals, hoping to attract readers from 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 personal insights into the masters.
