"The Six-Part History of England" is the representative work of the historical writer Peter Ackroyd, which includes six volumes: "The Founding of the Empire", "The Tudor Dynasty", "The Age of Rebellion", "The Revolutionary Century", "The King of the World" and "Revolution". It writes the historical process of this legendary country in a magnificent way: how this once closed island country gradually turned into an empire with territories all over the world through religious reform, parliamentary system, technological and ideological revolution, as well as trade and colonial expansion; and how it repositioned itself in the new post-war order as the empire declined today and continued to influence the world. Ackroyd's writing conveys his deep attachment to this country that once stood at the apex of human civilization. It not only creates a history of struggle and innovation for the rise of a great power, but also creates a glorious national epic. "The Tudors" is the second volume of Ackroyd's "Six Parts of History of England", covering the historical period from Henry VIII to Elizabeth I when England was mainly ruled by the Tudor family. This volume mainly discusses the religious reform caused by Henry VIII's break with the Roman Church, and the struggle between the English monarchy and the change of the state religion during this period. Under Ackroyd's fascinating writing, the resolute Henry VIII, the short-lived Edward VI, the "Bloody Mary" who tried to restore Catholicism, and the Elizabeth I who created the "golden age", the magnificent life of the Tudor Dynasty comes to life on the page.

The aging civilization was defeated by the emerging civilization. Constantinople was located at the intersection of the East and the West, and was a battleground for the military strategists of that era. After this battle, the shining pearl on the Eurasian continent changed hands, ushering in the prelude to the changes of the times. "The Battle of Rhodes" tells the story of the Ottoman Turkish Empire's attack on Rhodes in 1522, the stronghold of the Knights of St. John in the Mediterranean and the frontier against the pagans. It records the last glory of the dying European knight class. In the face of the Turkish army, a declining religious group fought bravely and left a magnificent mark in history. Even though it was defeated, it was glorious. "The Battle of Lepanto" tells the story of a battle that took place at the Cape of Lepanto between the Ottoman Turkish Empire Navy and the Holy Alliance's combined fleet composed of Venice, Spain and the Holy See in 1571. The combined fleet won a great victory, but the fruits of victory were soon wiped out by the dismal dissolution of the Holy Alliance. These three "wars to divide the world" were an important turning point in the development of human civilization and a key singularity in the historical process. In the blood and fire, the European Christian civilization and the Islamic civilization in Central Asia collided with dazzling sparks. Since then, the power of Christianity has gradually declined, and the Islamic civilization has gradually taken control of the Mediterranean world and embarked on the journey of hegemony on the historical stage.
