Our Inner Conflict
By Karen
Translated by Pan Huaqin
Pu Rui Culture
January 2022
Contents
Our Inner Conflict is a psychological self-help book written by American psychologist Karen to ordinary people.
This book points out that because we are deeply influenced by the environment in which we live, we are always at odds with who we want to be, resulting in some inner conflicts that dominate our lives. In order to resolve these conflicts, we not only delude ourselves into fictitiously fabricating various "idealized images" and pushing the responsibility to others through "externalization", but also develop a series of different defensive strategies based on different personality tendencies: the obedient type chooses to cater to others, the aggressive type chooses to confront others, and the detached type chooses to stay away from others. But these strategies are more like roundabout compensation and escape, and instead of resolving the conflict from the root causes, they make us deeply frightened, anxious, and desperate, unable to sincerely engage in any relationship or work, and fall deeper and deeper down the bad road.
Honey believes that people have the desire to grow and will always be willing to become a better person. She therefore believed that conflicts could be truly resolved by changing the conditions under which they arose. This book points out the problems we encounter when we are troubled by inner conflicts, and proposes practical ways to resolve conflicts, so that we can learn to deal with inner loneliness, madness and loss, harvest inner integrity, maturity and tranquility, rebuild self-confidence in life, and live more bravely and healthily.

A Brief History of Genology
Zang dictated
Guangxi Normal University Press
March 2022
Contents
Compared with Zang Di's "Brief History" series of poems and the "Association", "Series of Books" and "Introductory" poems, the writing of the "Brief History" series of poems pays more attention to the meticulous observation of all things in terms of the style of poetry and the projection of poetry's imagination. This kind of observation of things by the poet, on the one hand, must be faithful to the perceptual experience, and on the other hand, it must also take into account a higher historical vision. The rapid movement of society is like a machine with a strong gravitational force, aimed at everyone, and the poet Zang Di tries to quietly correct all this with words. He is acutely aware of our neglect of everyday things, of our dullness in our own existence, and with his keen language, perception and intellect, he explains to us the truth about a grass or a bird. With a first-sighted curiosity, he penetrates into things, carefully understands, reshapes these tiny things, and at the same time reshapes himself, and in this process of thinking, we can "see who I am again."

The Musicalization of the Novel: A Theoretical and Historical Study of Intermedia
[de] Werner Wolff
Translated by Li Xuemei
Yang Yandi School
East China Normal University Press
January 2022
Contents
This book is the first to study the phenomenon of musicalization of the novel in the field of music-literary intermediation, and discusses how music has influenced the conception and creation of novels in a practical sense. The "first part" is the discussion of theory and concept, and the "second part" is a case evidence and the combing of the historical process, which constitutes an example of the research method of "combining history with theory" and "unifying history and logic". In view of the description that we usually think that most of the musical writing in novels is "literary", this book makes a meticulous classification and discussion of the evidence and identification methods of the musicalization of the novel, and also places this phenomenon in the context of literary history to examine its musicalization function, so that music lovers and literary lovers realize that the musicalization phenomenon of the novel is not only an external or even superficial "showmanship", but also an effective way to consciously choose aesthetics and explore style.
