Facing this powerful castle, K was helpless and failed to enter the castle until the end.

"Treasure Island" is an unforgettable story of betrayal that reflects the acute struggle between good and evil. The two parties fighting to the death for the treasure are actually not the real owners of the treasure. However, in the author's opinion, since it was the squire who hired the sailors, including Silver, the entire crew should be as loyal to the squire as Captain Smollett was and should not have any improper thoughts. However, from the perspective of behavioral motivations, the squire and those who are loyal to the squire are honest, dutiful, and kind, while Silver and his gang of pirates are basically hypocritical, unfair, and evil.

"The Scholars" is a novel with intellectuals as the main description object, and it is also a typical satirical novel. It describes some images of Confucian scholars who were deeply poisoned by the eight-part imperial examination system. For example, it is written that Zhou Jin and Fan Jin spent their entire lives trying to pass the examination, and even when their beards turned gray, they still failed to pass the examination. Although life was extremely difficult, he still couldn't forget the imperial examination. Zhou Jin passed by an examination room and went in to watch. He was touched by a lifetime of bitterness and pain. He burst into tears and was so sad that he could not help but feel miserable. Later, with the help of some small businessmen, he took the exam and won the sympathy of the examiner, and things turned around. When he passed the exam, those who had ridiculed him in the past came to flatter him and praised him as the most knowledgeable person. Another example is Fan Jin. Before he passed the imperial examination, his family was so poor that he had no rice to cook with, so he went to the market to sell an old hen. When he learned that he had won the election, he was so happy that he became a madman. Fortunately, his father-in-law Hu Tuhu slapped him and he regained consciousness. At this time, the local squires and other prominent people all looked at him with admiration. Some gave him houses and some gave him property. Fan Jin's life immediately changed... And so on, which reflected the corruption of the secular customs at that time. On the one hand, it truly reveals the process and reasons for the corruption of human nature, thereby deeply criticizing and ridiculing the corruption of officialdom at that time, the shortcomings of imperial examinations, and the hypocrisy of ethics; on the other hand, it passionately praises the protection of human nature by a few characters by insisting on themselves, thus embodying the author's ideals.

More wrote "Utopia" in 1516. He took a very serious attitude and used Latin that was popular in the academic world at that time.

People familiar with this period of British history will know at a glance that this refers to the British society in which More was exposed. This part attacks the darkness of British politics and society. However, the author cleverly touches on the story, uses vague words, and uses the insinuation method that complements the false and the true, so that the stubborn and stubborn King of England has no way to accuse the author.

In this book, the well-known historian Ian Morris relies on a large historical perspective and a global perspective to clearly point out that what determines the rise and fall of Britain is its geographical elements, and the resulting issues related to identity, mobility, prosperity, security and sovereignty. The connection of sea routes promoted the exchanges and development between Britain and the European continent, and also opened up the grievances and grievances between the two sides that lasted for more than a thousand years. Whether to join the European Union for its own security and prosperity, or to safeguard sovereignty and people's identity and insist on independent development, has been a puzzle that has plagued this island for thousands of years. In the struggle and choice, Britain experienced the triangular trade, the establishment of the United Kingdom, the colonial world, and the industrial revolution... This small country gradually moved to the center of the world stage and realized its ambition to dominate the world. But in modern times, the Irish War of Independence, the depletion of two world wars, the wavering on whether to "Brexit", the rise of Eastern power... The empire, beleaguered internally and externally, became increasingly powerless, and gradually lost its way forward. The world stage and the core of development have shifted from the West to Asia, and the problems that have plagued Britain for more than a thousand years have quietly changed. Whether to firmly follow the United States, open up channels of cooperation with China, or become a hub connecting the United States, Europe and China has become a question that Britain in the 21st century has to think about. Looking back at the world, geographical relations have become the key to cooperation and conflict among countries. Perhaps we can also get a glimpse of China's next step on the world stage in this book.

This book spans 15,000 years of human development, focuses on the shift of the center of global civilization, and elaborates on major issues such as when the West began to dominate the world. It quantitatively describes the many factors that determine economic and social development trends, in order to trace the past, present, and future evolution of the economy and society.

The year 1215 holds an extraordinary position in Britain's millennium history. At that time, John, the "King of Soft Swords," was busy appeasing the restless barons. The Magna Carta, which was of great significance to the world's legal and political systems, was born in such an environment and would have a profound impact on British democratic politics. At the same time, also in 1215, King John was once in a situation of internal and external difficulties. In the competition with the Capetian dynasty on the European continent, it gradually lost its advantage. A little further east, Innocent III made decisions at the Fourth Lateran Council that changed the fate of millions. Author Dan Jones once wrote the best-selling book "The Plantagenets". This time, he chose the unique year of 1215 to show readers every detail of this turbulent country. In addition to describing the magnificent political struggle, Jones also takes readers closer to the daily life of England in the 13th century: from the royal family to the clothing and diet of civilians; social order and legal justice; animal species and nobles who are keen on hunting; the living conditions of women and children, etc. There's even the strange mantras and quirks of King John and his family. In short, the book paints a vivid picture of England in this turning point and turbulent year.

After World War II, French intellectuals played a uniquely important role in European cultural and political life. In this work, Tony Judt analyzes the biggest conflict in intellectual circles: how to respond to the promises and betrayals of communism; and how to maintain persistence in radical ideas in the face of the hypocrisy of the former Soviet Union under Stalin, the new communist Eastern Europe, and France itself. Judt shows us how these pioneering intellectuals defended certain "show trials" after the war, ignored the tyranny and terror behind communism, and even spread the theory to the public that the Soviet-style road was the only way to liberation. In addition, this book also provides a detailed description of the drama and struggle for power and gain among intellectuals at that time. The objects of its attention include not only the representative figures of "existentialism" - Sartre, Camus and Beauvoir, but also important Catholic philosophers, journalists, literary critics, etc.

In October 2001, less than a month after the "9/11" incident, the United States suffered its first major bioterrorism incident: anthrax attack. In "The Devil in the Freezer," Richard Preston takes us inside the U. S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases at Fort Detrick, once the headquarters for U. S. Bioweapons development and now the center of the nation's biodefense. For Peter Yellin, a top virologist at the U. S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases, his most urgent task was developing a drug to fight smallpox. The smallpox virus claimed more than 1 billion lives and changed the course of world history. In 1980, the World Health Organization announced that smallpox had been eradicated from the earth, which was one of the greatest achievements of modern medicine. Currently, smallpox strains are contained in high-security freezers at two locations: the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta and a virology institute in Siberia. But the demon in the freezer has been unleashed. Biologists in clandestine laboratories are almost certainly using genetic engineering to create a new supervirus, a smallpox virus that is resistant to all vaccines.

"Adventures in the Slums" by George Orwell, the author of "1984", a little-known story of Orwell's early life. What kind of person was a prophet before he became a prophet? George Orwell, the author of "1984" and "Animal Farm" and the prophet of dystopia, was always a staunch socialist throughout his life. This may confuse today's readers who do not understand the changes in the political spectrum, but for Orwell, this was a natural choice. "Down and Out in Paris and London" is Orwell's first officially published documentary work. It tells the story of Orwell's true experience of voluntarily entering the slums in Paris and London to experience life at the bottom of society. After feeling completely disgusted and despaired of the British colonial system, Orwell's literary dream finally came to fruition for the first time after several setbacks. The experiences in Paris and London can be seen as Orwell's journey of repentance and redemption for his service to the colonial system. As a loyal believer in the socialist system, perhaps Orwell's deliberate choice of wandering and poverty was a test of his ability to persist in implementing socialist ideals. Paris and London are the most prosperous places in the capitalist world, but the poverty and hardship at the bottom of society is shocking. Orwell's sincere attitude of "resigning himself to suicide" and treating the working people as equals is truly unusual among British left-wing literary writers. It is this spirit that makes "Down and Out in Paris and London" a classic documentary work that exposes social injustice, and it still resonates with readers today.
