A Brief History of Human Good and Evil
by (west) Cewang Alabutan (chi) Alexandra Yacosta
About This Novel
In the history of mankind, there are not only various evil acts such as invasion, massacre, and colonization, but also touching stories that shine with the glory of rescue, mutual assistance, and inheritance. In 1813, German Jews joined the army to jointly resist Napoleon's invasion. Just four years later, "anti-Semitic riots" broke out across Germany, and countless Jews were killed and displaced. In 1876, India suffered a drought. The British colonial government deliberately obstructed disaster relief operations and transferred local Indian officials who were "too sympathetic", resulting in 6 million to 10 million people. Death; in 1940, diplomats from many countries resisted the huge pressure of Nazi Germany and provided visas for Jews to enter their countries, saving the lives of thousands of Jews... The mysterious and anonymous Spanish writer Cesar Arabtan tells each of these frightening stories in a calm and restrained style, vividly recreating the best and darkest moments in history, allowing us to understand human nature more thoroughly. Internationally renowned illustrator Alexandra Jacosta illustrated some of the historical figures and events featured in the book, adding more color to Cewang's fascinating story.
