The stories collected in this set of books are all adapted from Hitchcock's films and TV series. Hitchcock was recognized as the greatest film director of all time during his lifetime, but he never won the Academy Award for Best Director, although he was nominated six times. He won a special Oscar in 1968 and the Griffith Award from the Directors Guild of America in the same year. In 1979, he won the Lifetime Achievement Award from the American Film Institute. What Hitchcock contributed to the art of film is definitely not just pure film techniques. Just like the characters in his movies often have multiple personalities, Hitchcock's movie personalities also have multiple personalities. He is a master of suspense, a master of psychology, and a master of philosophy in movies. Few people have such a profound insight into the absurdity of life and the fragility of human nature. Underneath the carefully designed techniques, we see a soul that has been suppressed by a strict Catholic upbringing. Hitchcock's movies are a contradictory unity of life and death, crime and punishment, reason and madness, innocence and temptation, repression and resistance. They are poems that directly address the dark hearts of people. He has been called the "Freud of film."

The names of characters, geographical names, and main events are basically the same as those in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

On the one hand, "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" reflects the true history of the Three Kingdoms and takes into account readers' needs to understand the true history; on the other hand, it exaggerates, beautifies, vilifies, etc. The characters of the Three Kingdoms based on the actual social conditions of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhuge Liang is the incarnation of the "virtuous prime minister" in the author's mind. He has the noble character of "devoting his whole life to the end of his life" and his ambition to help the people in modern times and recreate a peaceful and prosperous age. The author also endows him with the magical ability to control the wind and rain and make miraculous calculations. Cao Cao was a treacherous hero. His creed in life was "I would rather teach me to betray the world than teach the world to betray me." He was both talented and strategic, but also cruel and treacherous. He was a political careerist and conspirator. This cannot be confused with the real Cao Cao in history. Guan Yu is powerful and resolute, and his righteousness is as heavy as a mountain. Zhang Fei is outspoken and full of innocence and recklessness. Liu Bei was portrayed by the author as a model of a benevolent king who was kind to the people, loved things, courteous to the virtuous, and knew people well.

100,000 years ago, there were at least 6 different human species on the earth, but today only 1 remains, Homo sapiens. What happened to cause the rest of the human species to disappear? What will happen to us Homo sapiens? The famous Israeli historian Yuval Harari pioneered the combination of history and science to tell the complete story of the history of Homo sapiens from the Big Bang to the present. Professor Yuval Harari believes that in the long evolutionary history of Homo sapiens from an inconspicuous animal to the ruler of the earth, three key revolutions took place: the cognitive revolution, the agricultural revolution and the scientific revolution. The cognitive revolution gave Homo sapiens the ability to create imaginary orders and fictional stories, completely surpassing other species; the agricultural revolution allowed Homo sapiens to move from a hunter-gatherer life to a settled life, with revolutionary changes in lifestyle and social organization; the scientific revolution allowed Homo sapiens to become a god-like "creator" and gain dominance over the entire earth. Professor Yuval Harari also reminded us to look forward, because in the past few decades, we have begun to violate the law of natural selection, which has been the law of life for the past 4 billion years. Today, we have not only gained the ability to design the world around us, but also gained the ability to design ourselves. Where will this lead us, and what kind of human beings do we want to be? It's time to redefine "human". "A Brief History of Mankind" is a global bestseller that abandons the old interpretive framework and proposes subversive ideas, giving us a new understanding of our own existence.

"Nausea" is a diary novella written by French writer Jean-Paul Sartre, first published in 1938. "Nausea" is the first novella in which Sartre combined his philosophical thoughts with literary forms and used novels to express "existence". Sartre assumes that the protagonist suffers from a disease in the book, and points out that this disease can be suffered by everyone. Therefore, Roquentin sometimes suffers from "nausea" when he is in a state of discomfort, and we can also suffer from "nausea". Roquentin is fighting, trying to get rid of his real existence, to identify with one or some artworks from the past, or even a piece of jazz music "A Moment of Time", to achieve some kind of freedom. This is the central idea that Sartre wants to express in this book: "being and freedom."
