Introduction of works
Opening this book is like entering a time machine, and you can travel back to the places where the classics were born: Balzac's Paris, Fitzgerald's New York, Woolf's London, Hemingway's Spain, Orhan Pamuk's Turkey... This is a cross-border work of geography and literature, which takes a unique approach to re-interpret classical texts from a regional perspective, sort out the trend of world literature in the past two hundred years, and describe the differences and characteristics of different writers' treatment of literary materials under different literary trends and in different regions. Readers can intuitively understand the relationship between works and authors, master the basic knowledge of world literature, and discover the secret and value of the birth of classics.
