About This Novel
This set includes: "The Drink of God", "Love and Hate of the Black Stone", "Everything" and "A Fish That Changed the World". This is a set of interesting history that is close to life, and it is also a set of life aesthetics with rich historical materials. The history of the world at your fingertips takes you through 4,000 years of history and touches the world. From the most familiar condiments and common drinks in daily life, to the energy products that triggered the industrial revolution and pollution around the world. How six bottles, salt, coal, and cod inadvertently changed the whole world. "God's Drink" Beer, wine, spirits, coffee, tea, and cola are the six most common drinks. How these six drinks divide history into six eras and become irresistibly charming drinks for everyone. "Love and Hate of Black Stone" reveals the role of coal in the process of human industrialization. Whether it is a devil or an angel ultimately depends on human choice. "The Use of All Things" uses small and flawless salt as light spots to illuminate the entire history and experience the evolution of Eastern and Western civilizations up close. "A Fish That Changed the World" takes cod as the entry point, condenses the tortuous process of civilization, carries the ups and downs of history, and reveals the moving intersection between man and nature.
