About This Novel
1. The history of Jerusalem is the history of the entire world. It is the temple of one god, the capital of two peoples, the holy land of three major religions, a city with two existences, heaven and earth; it is a strategic point in the conflict of civilizations, a place that haunts the world, a place where conspiracies, fictional legends and 24-hour news take place. Simon Montefiore, the "Master of Storytelling", vividly tells the past and present life of Jerusalem based on the competition between the three major religions around the "Holy City" and the rise and fall of several major families in chronological order. The author uses a large number of field surveys and documentary research, and from an objective and neutral perspective, through soldiers, prophets, and poets Live with kings, farmers, musicians, and the families who shaped Jerusalem to present the city's three thousand years of magnificent history and restore the real Jerusalem... Based on this, the new expanded edition adds 30,000 words of content including Chapter 54 "21st Century", 30 color illustrations, and a letter from the author to Chinese readers. 2. "The World History of the Big Man" is an introductory book on world history written for the public by Simon Montefiore, the author of "Three Thousand Years of Jerusalem". History is not determined by a few people, but it is these people who changed the course of history that make up the face of our world today. From Ramesses the Great and Confucius to Anne Frank and Bin Laden, from kings, queens, conquerors, gangsters to prophets, poets, composers, and philosophers, they are either noble and brave, with unique charm, intelligence, and creativity; or they are reckless, arrogant, cruel, shameless, and almost crazy; or they are a combination of the two, a contradiction between heroes and beasts. Historian Simon Montefiore uses detailed historical materials and a unique biographical writing style to tell the stories of more than 100 historical figures and their impact on the world in chronological order, thus forming this unique world history spanning more than 3,000 years. 3. "Young Stalin" is the work of Montefiore, the author of "Jerusalem Three Thousand Years", who spent 10 years visiting 23 cities in 9 countries, mastering the authoritative archives disclosed, retelling the little-known growth process of Stalin from a shoemaker's son to Lenin's right-hand man, and restoring a prehistory of the former Soviet Union. In the authoritative book "Young Stalin", Montefiore uses detailed research, a series of brand-new materials, and narrative techniques that are like Dickens' possession to tell a multi-faceted and contradictory image of Stalin in ups and downs. 4. "World History in Letters" contains more than 100 letters, including love letters, family letters, foreign affairs negotiations, war declarations, peace plans, etc. They seal human life and beliefs and become first-hand materials for studying history: If Elizabeth had not written to beg for mercy from her half-sister "Bloody Mary", would there have been a "golden age" in British history? If the Allied invasion of Normandy failed, what kind of condolences would General Eisenhower send to the Allied soldiers? Would Wilde have lived the rest of his life happily if he had not responded "recklessly" to an insult from his lover's father? On the eve of launching "Operation Barbarossa", why did Hitler, who had already made up his mind, write to Mussolini? ... Montefiore focuses on the moment presented in each letter, restoring the historical scene, giving us a glimpse into the lives and thoughts of kings, queens, generals, actors, writers, scientists, explorers, presidents, etc. These figures plucked the strings of history, and the letters they wrote ranged from noble and inspiring to disturbing; some were excellent literary examples, while others were reckless; many were full of lust, while others were heartbreaking... It was the choices of the countless individuals they composed, as well as universal human emotions, that drove history forward. By reading these letters as archives, as the breath of life, we can more fully understand the past, understand the present, and illuminate the path to the future.
