Churchill's Memoirs of the First World War 2: World Crisis (1915)

1915 was the second phase of the First World War. France and Britain launched the Battle of Champagne, the Battle of Artois, the Battle of Ypres, and the Battle of Los Loos. In the face of new weapons - machine guns and powerful artillery - the dominant traditional military thinking - frontal attack, charge and fight, and repel the enemy's defense line - became ineffective. The Western Front achieved nothing except a life-consuming battle, and the war reached a stalemate. The British invented tanks and used smoke screens, making only limited progress. The British Navy had control of the sea, but its commander was conservative in thinking and ineffective in naval warfare, so no positive results were achieved. In this volume, Churchill made the strategic decision to attack the Dardanelles, which had a decisive impact on the combination of international forces and the entire war. However, due to the lack of understanding and weak support from most military leaders, the war opportunities were repeatedly delayed, and good opportunities to secure victory were missed more than ten times, and finally ended in failure. The Allies were in crisis.

"The Battle of the River" is a very famous book written by the former British Prime Minister Winston Churchill when he was young. It is about the historical content of the war between Britain and Sudan. In other words, it is a first-hand historical account of the British reconquest of Sudan that Mr. Churchill personally experienced. The conquest took place in 1899. Mr. Winston Churchill documented his experiences as a British officer during the Mahdi War in Sudan, which lasted nearly 20 years. The so-called "Mahdi War in Sudan" refers to the armed struggle launched by the rebel army led by Khalifa Abdullah Mohammed against the British army led by Lord Kitchener in order to oppose British colonial rule. "Mahdi", who claimed to be the successor of Mahdi Muhammad Ahmed, was forced to launch this resistance war because he was dissatisfied with the heavy oppression by the British colonial authorities, the Egyptian feudal dynasty and the Sudanese feudal lords.

Nietzsche's Essays

H

This book selects 36 polemical essays from Friedrich Nietzsche's many important works. The book opens with three classic articles by Nietzsche discussing educational issues: "On the Future of Our Educational Institutions", "Humanistic Education Begins with Strict Language Training" and "Three Measures of University Education". The rest of the book contains 33 exquisite expositions selected from important works such as "Thus Spoke Zarathustra", "Twilight of the Idols" and "Look, This Man". In the process of criticizing Christianity, Nietzsche focused on criticizing "pity". Nietzsche believes that great acts of kindness will not make people grateful, but will lead to revenge; if this small favor has not been forgotten, it will become a worm that is always gnawing; loving one's neighbor is a pathological good and the morality of the weak; the kindness of the strong should inspire people's unique personality of self-respect and self-improvement, and promote "healthy selfishness" in people. And "healthy selfishness" is the clean selfishness that overflows from the powerful soul. It takes all things into itself and then makes them ebb from the individual soul as a gift of love. Therefore, Nietzsche advocates that human beings should love distant people, love people in the future, love the beginning, and love ghosts.

In French biographical literature, Rousseau left three works that will be passed down to future generations: "Confessions", "Dialogues" and "Dream of a Lonely Walker"; three works, three genres, and three styles of writing; if "Confessions" is a chronicle and "Dialogues" is a psychological analysis novel, then the last "Dream" is a prose poem. When writing this work, Rousseau was already in his twilight years. He had completely given up the futile efforts of dealing with the enemy and fighting against fate, and resigned himself to everything. Therefore, he was in a comfortable and leisurely mood. Writing the article was like walking and chanting, and he wrote ten "Walks" into ten beautiful prose poems. In terms of nature, these ten articles are literary works, but in terms of content, they are indispensable books for studying Rousseau's life behavior and ideological development trajectory.

The Whisperers: Private Lives in the Stalinist Soviet Union

This is the first in-depth exploration of the suffocating living conditions and distorted inner lives of ordinary people in the "era of total control". The Stalinist era (1924-1953) was both the beginning and the climax of an era of total control. The transformed Soviets both feared political power and worshiped it. Almost every one of them has become a "whisperer" - either hiding in a corner and whispering to each other, or secretly pandering and becoming a whistleblower to the authorities. Many historical works about the Soviet Union focus on the horrific external phenomena of the gulag, arrests, sentences, imprisonment and even killings, but almost no one pays attention to the private lives of ordinary Soviet people and what they really thought and felt. "The Whisperer" focuses on the living conditions and inner souls of the most extensive ordinary people. It is the first oral history work to deeply explore personal and family life during the Stalin period.

The famous work of "National Great Writer" Natsume Sakiki is printed on the Japanese yen! A classic unanimously praised by Lu Xun, Haruki Murakami, and Ryunosuke Akutagawa! This book was serialized in the "Cuckoo" magazine in 1905. It vividly reflected the thoughts and life of Japan's petty and middle-class bourgeoisie at that time, and sharply exposed and criticized the "civilized and enlightened" capitalist society of the Meiji era. As the epitome of the cat owner Kushaya in the novel, Natsume Soseki mocked the helplessness and ignorance of intellectuals in the Meiji era, as well as the ugly face of the supremacy of money. The cat's own world is also an interesting part of the novel. The funny scenes of doing the cat dance with the rice cake demon and trying to catch mice but ending up in embarrassment make people laugh. Cats' usual sports, such as "catch cicadas", "sliding on the pine", and "walking on the fence", are all reminiscent of the funny behaviors of cat people outside the novel world. The social life of cats is equally colorful. The bad cat "Heizi" from the coachman's family and "Sanmaozi" from the two-stringed harp master's family enrich readers' imagination of the world of cats. The world of cats also reflects the world of humans.

The story shot switches repeatedly inadvertently as consciousness flows: the city on the other side of the sea is filled with a jubilant atmosphere and is about to usher in a grand carnival. At the same time, three teenagers picking up peaches killed wild dogs on the garbage mountain; in the military mansion, the lonely colonel continued his crazy whispering in front of his lover; in the circus, the middle-aged guard took his wife and children to watch the deserted and failed performance; in the hospital ward, the tailor watched his dying mother moaning and struggling with swelling and itching... On this side of the sea, the young painter was enjoying a luxurious beach vacation, but the shadow of that city reflected in his eyes: noisy, chaotic, dirty, filthy, rotten, degraded, and helpless. Will the sea bring the corpses from across the sea here? No, the dead body will probably disappear without a trace on the way, and the greedy and sharp-toothed fish will peck at it. The thick salt will melt the bones in the sea water. This is the sea. The sea lay between that city and us.

Behind the prosperity of the upper class, ladies were worried about lovers and debts, nobles were weighing wealth and love, and wealthy businessmen were planning speculation and business.

Nominated for the most controversial "Booker Prize" in history, it angered the judges and was selected into "The 100 Best English Novels" by Time magazine. It provokes society and is dedicated to everyone who is addicted to consumption and desire. John Self, a producer of "commercials for alcohol, cigarettes, junk food, and nude magazines," indulged in "drinking, fighting, prostitution, pornography, and masturbation." For money, he even more unscrupulously made pornographic videos, and often traveled between London and New York, two money-worshiping metropolises. In this web of money and sex, Self's relationships with everyone around him are laid bare. Money is everywhere and omnipotent. As the only "true god" that Self trusts, it can not only fulfill all of Self's despicable and greedy human desires, but at the same time pave the way for Self to fall into hell. In this money and sex scam, Self ultimately became the biggest loser. In its straightforward, uninhibited and decadent description, this book profoundly highlights Amis's extreme ridicule of "money" and the silent sorrow of the twisted human soul corrupted by "money". From this "Tale of Two Cities" at the end of the 20th century, we can see how commercial producers in London used erotic films to pursue their dream of the showbiz world in New York. Everything is over the top, full of madness, subverting three views, and leading the trend of British experimental novels in the 1980s. It is an all-encompassing masterpiece.
