Russia was growing in power, the Ottoman Empire was on the verge of disintegration, and the world outside of Europe seemed to be falling apart. Although Berlin was called the Athens of the world at that time, Germany was panicked by Russia's rapid development.

It was in this relationship between countries that the Sarajevo incident started the First World War. Europe in 1914 was like a colossus that everyone admired. Four years later, the continent faced catastrophic fragmentation from economy to society, from life to dreams. In this book, "A Brief History of World War I: The Illusion of Empire," Norman Stone changed the historical professional writing method that was mainly based on analysis to narrative.

"Fox Treasure Bag: My Boyhood" is a collection of autobiographical memories of Shibusawa Tatsuhiko. Using his boyhood in the early Showa era as a clue, he recalls food, comics, ballads, baseball, sumo wrestling, Tokyo air raids and other life fragments, linking together the special experiences of an ordinary Japanese family during the war years. The sweet nectar in New Year's cuisine, the nursery rhymes that only he can sing, the summer sceneries of the Koshien baseball game, the nostalgic big iron umbrella, the lunatic asylum adjacent to the junior high school and General Awara... The frail and sickly Tokyo teenager glimpsed the shining golden age through the "diorama". Under the gentle recollection, the cruel reality of war is looming, and the despair and loneliness of that era are outlined like a gray line. This is not "hometown" or "childhood", but the entrance to dreams and death, an echo of the origin of Shibusawa Tatsuhiko's aesthetics. In this collection of essays with "memory" as the core, he rarely removes the mask of "gorgeous", "weird" and "black aesthetics" in his previous works. What he writes is the world in the eyes of a child, gentle, clear, and even a bit "bright", showing the rare sincerity and nostalgia of Shibusawa Tatsuhiko. Hidden in the quiet memories is the loneliness and confusion shared by a generation.

This book is the work of the famous Japanese poet Tanigawa Shuntaro when he was in his late seventies. During this period, he experienced the death of his father, the birth of his grandson, the separation of his friends, and also began to live alone. A person does not live completely alone, but talks more freely with himself, friends, and the world. There are unspeakable secrets in the life of a person who is simple, enthusiastic, interesting, comfortable, and elegant. The author uses delicate and Zen-like writing to record the mood fluctuations that are easily obscured by daily trivial matters and difficult to capture. Starting from the trivial and ordinary daily necessities such as food, clothing, housing and transportation, he writes letters, eats, listens to concerts, and writes poems. He describes his understanding of family, friendship, and love, and talks frankly and openly about life and death, weddings, and funerals. Life is difficult to describe in one sentence, but the author tells everything frankly, creating this collection of essays full of light philosophy on life.

"Three Men in a Boat" (Three Men in a Boat) was written in 1889. It was once selected as one of the "50 Most Humorous Literary Works in History" and has remained popular for more than 100 years. Three ordinary and quite contented young people, with a bully and naughty dog, left London in high spirits and went rafting on the Thames River. Can they, who failed to get up on the first day, finally triumph in style? In their absurd and interesting travel experiences and memories, the scenery along the Thames and the social climate of Britain in the 19th century slowly unfolded like a picture scroll. Jerome, a representative writer of British humor, writes with ease, making people laugh and think deeply. Series# contains more than 60 black and white line drawings and four watercolor reproductions.

Rest is like a soft cloud in the sky, passing quietly inadvertently. This short period of time is like intermission at an opera, like halftime at a football game, or like the break between classes. A break seems like an insignificant gap, a gap in a planned daily life, like a whim, sometimes unbearable. After all, it's what happens before and after that matters, isn't it? Rest itself is unworthy of our lack of attention and love. In fact, it is a real bag of surprises, a treasure trove full of meanings and connotations that give meaning to our existence.

When I saw the photos of my mother when she was young for the first time, I realized: she too had been free and had dreams. She wanted to be a chef, but interrupted her studies because she became pregnant, then got married, had a child, divorced and remarried. The mother in my memory was always around pots and pans, and I didn't want my classmates and teachers to know that this person was my mother. I hope to change my mother to a mother who is more smiling and sunny. I ran away from her and my original family and ran to Paris to study. Silence grew between us, and the gap grew wider. As she entered middle age, she finally divorced my father and wanted to live for herself again. I recalled every bit of my childhood. She was ordinary, but she persevered, supported a poor family, and loved me as much as she could.

Posthumous work of Nobel Prize winner Günter Grass. Despite the hardships brought by aging and the imminence of death, everything seems possible again: love letters, soliloquies, jealousy, final lamentations, satire on society, and moments of happiness... All are presented in this book. Only an artist who has survived the baptism of time and cunningly avoided death can create such intelligent, playful and unyielding works. The rich and touching stories of life are condensed in this book, which is an exquisite microcosm of the author's last days in life. Poems, lyrical prose and paintings echoed and complemented each other, and Grass created the last great work of art in his life.
