Professor's British History
History教授的英国史
(us) Lacey Baldwin Smith
It contains both serious historical facts and humorous language; it not only allows tourists and history "newbies" to quickly understand the unforgettable stories in British history, but also allows readers who are interested in British history to feel the fun of "ridicule" and "irony"! Importantly, it allows more people to realize the importance of the United Kingdom to us: the United Kingdom has always occupied the world's economic, political, and cultural high points with a strong posture. Throughout the world, no country has won as much praise in history as the UK; and no country has suffered as much condemnation as the UK. They were hailed as modern Athenians and pioneers of modernization, but they were widely criticized for their excessive pride. British history is compelling at all times. This book changes from the serious and orthodox official approach to introduce British history in an entertaining, relaxed and even ridiculing tone. The content covers the most dramatic events and figures in British history, and is paired with more than 100 funny cartoons from the old British satirical magazine "Punch" and other publications, telling readers about a vivid and interesting history of Britain! Why read history? Because - "History is not what has happened, but the past worth remembering."
