Works by contemporary European and American writers

The first book

"My Name is Red" is a masterpiece by Turkish writer Orhan Pamuk, winner of the 2006 Nobel Prize for Literature. The three major European literary awards include the French Literary Prize, the Italian Grinzana Carver Literary Prize and the Dublin Literary Prize.

Introduction: In Istanbul at the end of 1590, King Sultan secretly commissioned a great book to extol his life and empire. Four of the best miniaturists of the day gathered in the capital, divided their work and collaborated to carefully draw this masterpiece. At this time, the young man Hei, who had been away from home for 12 years, finally returned to his hometown-Istanbul. What greeted his return was not only love, but also the ensuing murders...

A miniaturist disappeared. He was immediately found dead in a deep well, and the elder who was ordered to draw a manuscript for the Sultan was also brutally killed. Did the murdered painter die because of a feud between the painters, a love entanglement, or was it related to the Sudan's secret commission? The Sultan asked the palace painting masters Osman and Young Hei to find out the results within three days, and the clues are probably... hidden somewhere in the unfinished pictures in the book.

Who is the murderer? What's the motivation? The author asked all relevant people to speak out: a dog, a tree, a gold coin, the color red, two corpses and death, and even the murderer all came forward. As if they were alive, they carefully told us every clue based on their own experiences and observations.

The second book

"The Kite Runner", author Khaled Hosseini, this is his first book, although it has not won the awards you listed above It won any of the awards, but it was widely praised. It seemed that it was at the top of all major bestseller lists in the United States in 2006 or 2007. The plot of the story is shocking and touching, especially when I read the last sentence "For you, a thousand times over", I almost burst into tears!

The third book

"The Book Thief", written by Max Susak, also did not win any of the awards you listed above, but it was boasted on Baidu It is said to be as touching as "The Diary of Anne Frank". I thought that I have not read "The Diary of Anne Frank", so I will not comment yet. The writing angle is very strange, unfolding through several encounters between Death and Liesel, the "book thief".

The fourth book

"The Unbearable Lightness of Being" or "The Unbearable Lightness of Being" (the former is the latest translation, the latter is the previous translation), Milan ·Kundera's most famous work, "The New York Times" once commented that this work is the most important classic of the 20th century.

The fifth book

p>

"The House on Mango Street" is such a refreshing text, this is my favorite little book

The reason why I say it is a short book is because I can guarantee that you It only takes one hour to read the Chinese and English versions.

Highly recommended that you must read it! !

In addition, films like "The Dogs of Babel", "The Catcher in the Rye", "The Time Traveler's Wife", "One Hundred Years of Solitude", "The Non-Existent Daughter", "Tears of the Elephant" and "The Heart Is "The Lonely Hunter", "The Thorn Birds", etc. These are either extremely popular and influential works, or are works of a very high standard that are worth savoring, or they are works that have won numerous awards and have countless book fans in China. .

These are all worth reading. "The Non-Existent Daughter" I just finished reading is really great, especially the author's great efforts in describing the environment.
