法国简史：从高卢人到戴高乐
(uk) John Julius Norwich
The history of France is a wonderful and important chapter in world history. Charlemagne, Joan of Arc, Louis XIV, de Gaulle and other figures have long been familiar to readers. How did these great figures gradually shape France, which had a major impact on world civilization? The author of this book, John Julius Norwich, uses French historical celebrities to connect major events in French history over the past two thousand years. From Vercingetorius, the Gallic national hero who was determined to prevent Caesar's invasion, to Charlemagne who obtained the crown from the Pope; from the disasters caused by the Crusades to the great achievements created by the Sun King; from the devastating storming of the Bastille to the dramatic scenes of the French army taking taxis to the battlefields of World War I... Norwich used his rich knowledge and deep feelings for France to take us on a wonderful journey of French history.

威尼斯史：向海而生的城市共和国
(uk) John Julius Norwich
Venice, originally a floating city inhabited by refugees fleeing barbarian invasions, gradually developed into a city-state that possessed huge wealth and controlled the power of the two empires of the East and West. It had a complex and peculiar oligarchic republic that lasted for more than a thousand years, maintaining the stability and expansion of the city. This book tells in detail the historical process of Venice from its establishment in the 5th century AD to its death at the hands of Napoleon at the end of the 18th century, and depicts the political situation along the Mediterranean coast for thousands of years.
