Description
Introduction · · · · · ·
Penguin Classics: Little Black Book is a series of "literary pamphlets" launched by Penguin Publishing Group on the occasion of its 80th anniversary. The selection is magnificent and rich, transcending the constraints of time and space to find masterpieces. The bilingual Chinese and English versions published this time have carefully selected 50 classic and contemporary works for Chinese readers from the original English version, and are released in five volumes. In addition to highly readable short stories, some poems and non-fiction works that have never been translated are also included.
The third series has more diverse contents, including Charles Dickens's ghost story collection "Evening Reading", Oscar Wilde's murder novel "The Crimes of Lord Arthur Savile" and Jane Austen's girlhood collection "Dear Cassandra". There are also "The Death of Ivan Ilyich" by Russian literary giant Leo Tolstoy and "The Meek Woman" by Dostoyevsky. The poetry collections of Emily Dickinson, the twin stars of American poetry, "My Life is a Loaded Gun" and "On the Beach Alone at Night" by Walt Whitman. In the Little Black Book series, the first series is solemn and elegant, with a graceful demeanor, and quite parental; the second series has Wilde's sharp humor, which makes readers unable to stop; the charm of the third series is different from the first two. It has a keen observation and super analytical ability of all things in the world, and is good at insight into human nature from suspense and ghost cases, and draws the ultimate proposition of the philosophy of life and death from them.
The third series is the most suspenseful, brain-burning and exciting series of little black books, including 6 novels, 1 fable collection, 2 poetry collections and 1 essay collection, 3 of which are out of print and 3 have never been published.
