The author's introduction to the little lion

Irwin shaw (19 13- 1984), a famous American writer, was born in New York State and was a Russian Jewish immigrant. His writing is concise and his narrative is neat, and critics compare him with Hemingway. His works pay attention to social reality and are full of fierce conflicts. The theme involves politics, race, war and other major human issues. His main works are Little Lion, Rich Man, Poor Man, Burying the Dead, Beggar, Thief and so on.

The Lion cub is irwin shaw's masterpiece and is recognized as one of the best "war novels". The big and small events under the smoke of war, the warmth of human feelings and personal destiny are all written by the author and woven into a sad war scroll. The work is magnificent and not superficial, and the brushwork layout is moderate. Important words are like stars, and the places where they spread are like thousands of miles. Turning points, such as gazelles, climaxes, are as precious as gold ... as critics say, "Owen Shaw was the first person to write such a desperate and sad war." "Owen Shaw and Hemingway are twin constellations shining in American literature in the 20 th century."
