With the help of unearthed documents such as Pylos Clay Tablets and Hattusa Clay Tablets, the author attempts to explain that the disputes staged in front of the walls of Troy were essentially the collision of the Mycenaean civilization and the Near Eastern civilization in the ancient Mediterranean world. The epic stories related to Troy contain the code for interpreting the political, economic and cultural aspects of the Mediterranean world of that era.

"Gladiators" tells the story of the origin, rise and decline of gladiatorial competitions from the 3rd century BC to the 5th century AD, showing its intertwining with the Roman political stage and historical destiny. Gladiatorial combat originated from gladiatorial performances at funerals, and later gradually became a large-scale public entertainment event held in the arena. The "bread and circuses" strategy inherited from Caesar made gladiatorial performances a way for emperors to demonstrate their power and reward the public. But amid the emperor's fatuousness, the people's pleasures, and the empire's worries, Christianity filled the spiritual emptiness of the people. The decline of the empire and Christian opposition left the arena in ruins...

In this book, Simon Schama uses passionate and superb narrative art to tell the story of many unknown abolitionists and blacks fighting to emancipate slaves before and after the American Revolution. They believe that freedom is a right that belongs to all human beings, regardless of skin color. The abolitionists made impassioned speeches in court for the kidnapped blacks, and led them through bullet-ridden North American battlefields, across the storm-torn Atlantic Ocean, and finally returned to their homeland in Africa, creating a new country in the barbaric and desolate Sierra Leone. The obstruction of slaveholders, the hypocrisy of revolutionaries, the interference of the British government, and even the betrayal of black compatriots, all kinds of difficulties and obstacles could not destroy their determination and courage to pursue and defend freedom.

Europe is a vast territory with numerous countries, numerous ethnic groups and diverse religions. As the source of Western civilization, it has shaped the spiritual world of Westerners with faith and rationality, and has also caused drastic changes in the world with technology. Since the end of the 15th century, Europe has entered modern times, marked by the geographical discovery, religious reform, and the rise of nation-states. European captains sailed into the depths of the ocean, launching a commercial revolution. Colonial competition among European countries intensified, nation-states emerged one after another, the authority of the Roman Catholic Church declined, the Glorious Revolution broke out, mercantilism became popular, the guns rang out in Lexington in the United States, the French Revolution broke out, science and technology advanced by leaps and bounds, and the bourgeoisie entered the stage of history... Carlton Hayes, a well-known American historian, tried to organically combine the social and political development of Europe from the 16th century to the early 19th century, using social and economic factors to assist in explaining political facts, thereby helping people "understand ourselves, our kind, and the various problems and prospects of mankind."
