"Nights in the Countryside with Dekonka" is Gogol's first collection of novels that established his outstanding status in the history of Russian literature. Most of the novels collected here are based on the folklore of Little Russia, and are full of weird colors about Shinto monsters.

People will misunderstand that there is an essential difference from many of his later works, and there will be no traces of development in the same line. This book fully reflects Mr. Man Tao's translation achievements.

This book faithfully records the late period of World War II. After the war in Italy ended, the Allies assessed the situation, cooperated closely, and carefully formulated the final strategy for launching a general offensive against Nazi Germany. From Tehran to Rome, the heads of allied countries held a series of compact and productive meetings, which promoted the final victory of the war and roughly determined the division of the post-war world map. At the same time, in Yugoslavia, Greece, Burma and other places, the war is still arduously continuing, but the dawn of victory has begun to appear in the sky.

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.

John Toland, editor of "The Long Battle: A Revised Edition of the Korean War through American Eyes". Why did the Korean War happen? The Korean War, which the United States failed to win for the first time, left a bitter political legacy for the United States. It also accelerated the pace of rearmament in Europe, greatly increased military budgets, and set a dangerous precedent for the U. S. President to direct an undeclared war without constitutional approval during police operations. This book attempts to provide insights into many controversial issues. Was Truman correct in believing that the Soviet Union and the Chinese Communist Party conspired to orchestrate the war? Are historians' recent assertions that the United States instigated and encouraged the South Korean puppets to launch this war consistent with the facts? Was Truman justified in insisting on voluntary repatriation of prisoners of war? Is it true that the Chinese Communist Party has been claiming that the United States has engaged in biological warfare? Were captured American pilots brainwashed into admitting they dropped germ bombs? *In the end, was this battle worth fighting?

From June to December 1943, the Allied forces worked together to conquer Sicily and force Mussolini to collapse, thus further tightening the encirclement of Nazi Germany. As the war situation gradually became clearer, the prototype of the post-World War II international order took shape. This book traces and reproduces the entire process of the Allied victory over Italy, touching on the complex and subtle relationships between the United States, Britain, France and other Allied powers.

This book describes Japan's aggression against relevant countries in Asia and the Pacific Rim in the middle of World War II, as well as the different responses of the United States and Britain to this. After long preparations, Japan launched a comprehensive war of aggression in the Asia-Pacific region, causing the United States to pay a heavy price in the Pacific battlefield and causing Britain to suffer huge losses in Southeast Asia. At that time, the world situation was entering an extremely anxious period. From China to Myanmar, from Malta to Madagascar, everyone was involved in this unpredictable melee. In addition, the book also reflects the key role China played in resisting Japanese aggression.

This book combs the timeline from the Allied landings in Sicily to the final capture of Rome, depicts the magnificent Italian campaign, and tells countless heroic stories of "dying for freedom." Although the decision to attack Italy was highly controversial, once the operation began, the Allied forces' determination to liberate Italy never wavered: the rallying horns accompanied by the rushing waves sent the assault boats to the golden coast of Sicily, the roaring steel chariot tracks rolled over the solid defense lines of the Salerno plain, and the roaring fighter planes dropped overwhelming and rain-like bombs at the Port of Taranto... In Atkinson's writing, a picture of majestic and tragic combination slowly unfolds. The overwhelmed Eisenhower, the fearless but conceited Mark Clark, the genius Patton, the paranoid and ruthless Churchill, the strategizing Cunningham, the embattled Mussolini... From generals to soldiers, from politicians to civilians, the trajectories of countless lives converged and burned in this period of history. This was an epic battle for the European continent between the Third Reich and its rebels, and it was the first shot to dismantle the Axis powers' European defenses. When Mark Clark finally "conquered" Rome, the last obstacle before D-Day had been removed - and the end of the Third Reich was near.

This book combs the war process of the Allied forces from the invasion of Sicily to the final capture of the city of Rome, recreating the magnificent Italian campaign: the rallying trumpets accompanied by the rushing waves sent the assault boats to the golden coast of Sicily, the roaring steel chariot tracks rolled over the solid defense lines of the Salerno plain, and the roaring fighter planes dropped bombs like raindrops at the Port of Taranto... A picture of majestic and tragic scenes slowly unfolds. The overwhelmed Eisenhower, the fearless but conceited Mark Clark, the genius Patton, the paranoid and passionate Churchill, the strategizing Cunningham, the embattled Mussolini... From generals to soldiers, from politicians to civilians, countless life trajectories converge and burn in this period of history. This was the second stage of the attack on the Third Reich. The wars in Sicily and Italy forced the United States to shoulder more and more battlefield responsibilities, and also sharpened the combat effectiveness and willpower of the US military. With rugged terrain, harsh climate, and powerful enemies, the battlefield situation is already clear: kill the enemy or be killed. It was on the Italian battlefield that the American military transformed from a novice into a powerful force that dominated the situation in World War II.

O. Henry, the author of "The Last Leaf", is one of the most outstanding short story writers in the United States and even the world's literary world.

This selection is based on the translator's reading of all 284 of the author's works and carefully selected thirty of them based on the reading and appreciation habits of Chinese readers.

It is a scripture that guides the path of life. Every word is exquisite and full of poetry. It is like a sweet spring, gurgling to nourish the hearts of readers.

In that wooden house, among the lakes and mountains, he observed, listened, felt, meditated, and dreamed. Through his own life experiments, he told the world not to lose the direction and meaning of life due to the complexity of life. He believes that only by living a simple life can people abandon their inner anxieties and enjoy inner peace, relaxation and joy. It must be mentioned that despite the lack of cultural exchanges between China and the West at that time, Thoreau translated and read many Confucian works and integrated his understanding of Confucianism into his own thoughts. Therefore, his works also exude the unique temperament of Chinese classical literature.

In its heyday, the Greeks made amazing achievements explosively in various fields.

"Han Poems" selected by Shen Deqian aims at "tracing the roots of Tang poetry" and systematically combs the development of poetry in the Han Dynasty. It not only presents the dual peaks of "Yuefu narrative" and "literati lyricism", but also conveys his literary concept of "poetry as the foundation and style as the sect" through comments. The political lyricism of emperors and heroes, the political and religious function of court poetry, the social picture of Yuefu poetry, the artistic breakthroughs of literati's five-character poetry and narrative poetry, and the true records of folk suffering are all presented in extremely rich ways.

Shen Deqian's "Chen Poetry" section tries to include the works of major Chen poets in the Southern Dynasties, and more comprehensively demonstrates the characteristics of the poetic style of this period that tended to be extravagant and gaudy. Although Shen had reservations about this style of judgment, he still regarded it as an important link in the development chain of poetry and believed that it was helpful in understanding the evolution of poetry before the rise of Tang poetry. The poets Xu Ling and Yu Xin can be read carefully. The poetry of the Northern Wei Dynasty mainly embodies simplicity and vigor, loyalty, filial piety, justice, and the collision of grassland culture and Central Plains culture. The "Poetry of Mulan" that readers are familiar with is one of the best works.

Shen Deqian selected Northern Qi poetry in order to present the diversity and regional differences in the development of poetry during the Southern and Northern Dynasties. He believes that although the poetry of the Northern Dynasties is not as delicate and refined as the poetry of the Southern Dynasty, it has its own unique simple style, which is indispensable for tracing the origin of poetry and understanding the evolution of poetry style. At the same time, he may also intend to show how poets in the Northern Dynasties carried out literary creation in a relatively harsh environment. The poems of Wen Zisheng, Xu Ling, Lu Sidao and Yang Min are all collected in high quality. They were the most important poets at that time and you can focus on reading them. Northern Zhou poetry is actually an independent volume, and Shen Deqian's starting point for selecting and editing it is also to present the overall picture of poetry in the Southern and Northern Dynasties more completely. Wang Bao and Qu Zizhi are important representatives.

This is a selected poem by Shen Deqian, a cultural giant who was a poet, poetic critic, and chronicler in the mid-Qing Dynasty.

Mythological elements, political elements, the spiritual dilemma of working people, and the poet's concern for people's livelihood are all reflected in "Gu Yi". Reading it today, it is still catchy.

What is real reading? Is blindly reading one book after another really better than not reading at all? In the high-speed information age, more and more people have lost the original meaning and authentic happiness of reading. In this book, linguistics master Shihiko Sotoyama does not teach you how to quickly extract information from books, but asks you to calm down and rethink the direction and meaning of reading. Toyama Shihiko believes that reading should be divided into two types, one is α-type reading that reads known information, and the other is β-type reading that reads unknown information. He pointed out that although most people prefer relaxed and enjoyable α-type reading, challenging β-type reading is the best way for people to open their brains and gain new knowledge. After reading this book, you will find that the forgotten traditional reading methods such as "phonic reading", "primary reading" and "classical reading" are exactly the golden keys to help you open the door to beta-type reading.
