This work is an experiment on how the compression of language evokes certain emotions. It focuses on the first and last sentences of world-famous novels, examining how readers experience and understand a text when they first encounter it and when they finish it. 200 books from the Minumsa World Literature Series were selected, and research was conducted on the first and last sentences of each book. The book consists of a single page containing only the first and last sentences of the series. By compressing the book into just two sentences, it presents the original text in a new form. In the "Compressed Series," by removing and selecting text, the first and last sentences of the world literature collection can be viewed in a different light.
