Features: As an academic selection, this collection slightly leans toward the artistic purity of the works. When selecting them, we did not base our choices on whether they had once caused a sensation or received special attention from the critics, although many of the works here indeed did. When choosing these works, we were driven by a strong predictive awareness: whether these works would still qualify as literary works in a few years, a decade, or even decades. Although we are caught in the thick of things and cannot truly transcend the biases, common opinions, and mediocre views of our time to see the truth, we believe this effort is still necessary. It is better to have such intentions in our hearts than to lack them altogether.
