From November 1933 to February 1934, Hemingway, his second wife Pauline Pfeiffer, and his friend Carl went hunting in Kenya, East Africa. After returning, Hemingway expressed that he wanted to write a "most realistic book" that would be "comparable to fictional works", so he wrote "The Green Mountains of Africa". With astonishing memory and superb writing skills, Hemingway reproduces the hunting experience in the deep mountains and old forests of Africa, allowing readers to immerse themselves in the thrilling scenes of the author's battle of wits and courage with animals, and hear the unique African lion's roar. At the same time, Hemingway vividly describes his competitiveness and jealousy in the process of competing with Carl, "dissecting" himself mercilessly, and showing the candidness of a man. There is a passage in the book about the critics' praise and condemnation of writers, which makes me feel very warm when I read it today.

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.

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.

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.

Down and Out in Paris and London (translation Classic)

"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.

Eight prisoners of war, led by Lei Zi, successfully escaped from the Japanese prisoner-of-war camp and entered the huge virgin forest mountains next to the prisoner-of-war camp. With joy and anxiety about the unknown future, the prisoners of war continued to go deeper into the forest, but what greeted them was a series of strange encounters: an environment without living creatures; unusually long days and nights; pools full of carrion; vampire monsters lurking around; and a creature that should not appear in the primitive world.

The novel tells the story of Galip, a lawyer born and raised in Istanbul, who searches for his missing wife. A detective story-like beginning - his wife Rumeng disappeared, leaving only a note. Galip began to search and roam the streets of Istanbul. He gradually believes that Rumeng's running away is related to the disappearance of her half-brother Yela, a well-known newspaper columnist. He began to explore the deep meaning behind Jela's words, visited the places Jela had visited, and even thought in Jela's way. Finally, he sneaked into Jela's apartment, wore his clothes, answered his phone calls, and finally even pretended to be him to write a column. This is the surface plot of the novel. And as Pamuk says in the book, there is a deeper meaning behind the story. Galip's pursuit of Rumeng and Yela seems to symbolize the exploration and revelation of an ultimate ideal. This has the same cultural logic as the mystery of words and meanings, the mystery of faces and meanings, and the theory of "the savior will come" declared in Yela's column once discussed in the book, thus forming a multi-line parallel network of meanings. At the same time, the questioning of the nature of the self and the thinking about the relationship between self and others are constantly strengthened through the plot of the novel itself and the text of Jela's column in the novel, permeating the entire novel. This in turn triggers and is connected with the narration of the history and destiny of Istanbul, and thus expands to thinking about the relationship and essence between the East and the West.
