Why did the Ming Dynasty collapse in the mid-17th century after lasting for 276 years? From the unique perspective of climate history, Sinologist Professor Bu Zhengmin demonstrated how the extreme environment of the Little Ice Age broke through the empire's survival threshold, providing a new perspective in addition to the traditional narrative of "Chongzhen's lack of ability and the Manchus' southward movement leading to the collapse of the Ming Dynasty". Around the 14th century, the climate in the northern hemisphere began to turn colder, reaching its peak in the 17th century. In these three centuries, intermittent dry and cold weather and the persistent dry and cold climate around the 1640s gradually destroyed the agricultural foundation of the Ming Dynasty, causing it to slide from local famine in the Yongle period to the collapse of the national food system in the Chongzhen period. Professor Bu Zhengmin used a large number of private account books, local chronicles, notes and other materials to quantitatively analyze the soaring food prices and the soaring cost of survival, fully presenting the Ming people's feelings about the living environment, commodity prices (especially food prices), etc., As well as the difficulties of people's lives under climate change. The book is logically rigorous and advances layer by layer, demonstrating the impact of climate change on the Ming Dynasty regime. The author believes that climate often sets the limits of people's lives. If there is not enough food to feed everyone, it will at least trigger an economic and social crisis, and probably a political crisis. This understanding has far-reaching implications for understanding the fragility of pre-modern countries and the impact of climate fluctuations on countries.

In love, can one party be "better" than the other? In the cynical atmosphere of Paris, young journalist Gilles suffers from depression and his friends are helpless. So he went to his sister's house in Limoges to recuperate. There, he met Natalie, an innocent married woman. After falling passionately in love, they broke up with their respective partners and moved in together in a Paris apartment. Although in love, Jill feels uncomfortable with this passionate life, and Natalie is waiting for the day when he asks her to leave. The ending of the story is a typical Sagan-style "destruction". For the first time, Sagan created a heroine who did not lie or hesitate.

She thought she had rejected all illusions, but in fact it was all illusions that rejected her. "The Messy Bed" revives two characters from "One Month, One Year Later": actress Beatrice and provincial young man Edward. Five years after they broke up, they met again. Edward grew from an unknown young man to a playwright with a promising future, and Beatrice continued to pursue her career ambitions with her beauty. He loves her, she needs him - the actress' affair with the playwright arouses the curiosity of those around her. In the privacy of the living room, the power relationship between the two is ever-changing. Sagan uses "playwright" and "actress" to compare the two parties in love, sharply depicting a kind of modern love that combines narcissism, inferiority, self-deception and other human weaknesses. Nothing is more unreal than those so-called "realistic" novels - they are pure nightmares. It is possible to achieve certain emotional truths in a novel-the true emotions of a character-and nothing else. --Françoise Sagan

This book is the author's masterpiece, marking the peak of Hoffmann's creation and an excellent work of German Romanticism. The novel consists of two parts: a biography of Tomcat Moore and a biography of bandleader Kreisler. Starting from the needs of satire, Moore's biography imitates the so-called development novels about the protagonist's growth process such as Goethe's "Wilhelm Meister", and uses a self-narrative mode to describe the growth experience of a well-educated tomcat who likes to dance and write. The biography of Kreisler records a rough life path of a talented artist, whose life path has the shadow of the author himself. Judging from the title of the novel, the former is the main body of the work. In fact, the latter is the core of the novel. The form is loose, but the theme is consistent.
