This is a collection of short stories and also a collection of historical fables. The author Absalom melts history, myths and legends into his works and creates seven brain-opening stories. Some of these stories are fantastic, such as the opening story from ancient times, where a celestial being who wandered on earth found a child and taught him the secret of building a civilization; some are sad, such as the story of the escape of human sacrifices, choosing between protecting their lovers and surviving; some are absurd, such as the officer who broke into the Peach Blossom Spring and found that the original inhabitants there were just his painful memories... These stories point to the relationship between people and power, and the reaction of complex human weaknesses in this relationship. For example, greed, weakness, indifference, selfishness, violence, etc. Luyin Wilderness is a dreamland that has witnessed the overthrow of dynasties and the rise of civilization. There is nothing new under the sun, and history always repeats itself. In Absalom's writing, these stories provide a revelation that triggers people to think about history and the human nature it shows.

这是一部短篇小说集,也是一部历史寓言集。作者押沙龙将历史、神话、传说熔炼于作品中,创作了七个脑洞大开的故事。这些故事有的奇幻,比如开篇从上古时期讲起,流落人间的天人发现了一个孩子,教会他建立文明的秘密;有的伤感,比如讲人牲的逃亡,在保护爱人和自己苟活之间做出选择;有的则很荒诞,比如闯入桃花源的军官发现,原来那里的原住民都只是自己痛苦的回忆……这些故事指向人和权力的关系,以及复杂人性的弱点在这种关系里的反应。比如贪婪、软弱、冷漠、自私、暴力等等。鹿隐之野是一个梦幻之地,它既见证过王朝的倾覆,也见证过文明的兴起。太阳底下没有新鲜事,历史总是不停重演。在押沙龙笔下,这些故事提供一种启示,触发人们对历史以及展现出的人性作出思考。
