"On Sea Power" is Alfred Thayer Mahan's work on the history of naval warfare and the theory of sea power. In this book, Mahan epoch-makingly proposed the concept of "sea power", elevating the control of the ocean to a strategic level that determines the rise and fall of a country. He believed that sea power and the rise and fall of a country share weal and woe, and maritime interests were crucial to the strength of a country. At the same time, he advocated vigorously developing the navy, developing the merchant fleet, developing maritime trade, and building naval bases and commercial ports. This book interprets the view of "sea power supremacy" from six perspectives: geographical location, natural structure, national territory, population, national characteristics, and government nature. As a masterpiece of sea power, this book also has literary qualities. It objectively and vividly reproduces the process of previous naval battles, expresses praise for those outstanding naval generals without revealing anything, and elaborates on the role of sea power in the development of history, especially the development of world history from the geographical discovery in 1660 to the end of the American Revolutionary War in 1784. It also discusses some necessary factors for sea power. The book attracted attention as soon as it was published. The United States, Japan, Germany, the former Soviet Union and other countries have successively used it as a guide for formulating national development strategies. Since Mahan's death, two world wars and changes in the world's strategic pattern have fully verified the view of sea power theory.

Innsmouth was a small settlement founded on the port in 1643. Shipbuilding was originally its main export industry, and fishing was also developed. After the War of 1812, the town declined. However, due to the trading between the merchant ship captains who had great power in the area and the deep divers, a half-human and half-frog underwater race, by offering human sacrifices in exchange for gold and fish catches, the locals eventually began to mix with the deep divers who regularly climbed ashore. So in the end, most of the local people have the characteristics of monsters. Even if they look like ordinary people, these characteristics will begin to appear at a certain age.

"The Age of Innocence" is the representative work of the famous American writer Edith Wharton, which won the 1921 Pulitzer Prize. The main plot of the book takes place in the upper class society of New York in the late 1870s and early 1880s. That was where Wharton spent her childhood and youth, where she grew up, entered society, became engaged and disengaged, and finally married Edward Wharton of Boston, where she spent her first years of marriage. Forty years later, as a novelist, she looks back at the society that raised her and restrained her. Her feelings are complex, with both cordial attachment and sober criticism. The writer compared the upper class society in New York at that time to a small pyramid. It was sharp and slippery, making it difficult to gain a foothold on it. At the top of the tower, there are only two or three families with real aristocratic blood: the Dagonet family in Washington Square is an authentic county family; Mr. Van der Luyden is the direct grandson of the first Dutch governor, and his family has married several nobles in France and England; and the Laning family, who has married the Count de Grasse. They are the highest class of the upper class, but they are obviously in a declining stage.

This book is the first part of the long series "Time Travelers" by French writer Eric-Emmanuel Schmitt. This masterpiece, which the writer spent thirty years gestating, tells the history of mankind in the form of a novel: the protagonist goes through evolution and revolution from prehistory to the present, and the past illuminates the present. The protagonist Norm was born in a lakeside village in the Neolithic Age and grew up surrounded by nature. He encountered the tragedy of the tribe, met the charming woman Nora, and was changed by a famous disaster-the great flood: he gained the ability to live forever. It's a gift and a curse. He is free from human fears: disease, aging, and death; but he is also unable to establish ordinary relationships with people. In order not to be discovered, he has to escape every once in a while. He was forced to become an eternal wanderer, constantly traveling through new places, new languages, and new societies to explore what happened to himself and try to grasp the essence and meaning of life. To tell Nome's adventures is to tell the history of mankind. From the time of the Flood to today, Nome has witnessed and even participated in all the transformations that make us who we are: from hunter-gathering to settlement, from villages to cities, the creation of writing, the birth of class, the beginning of the economy, the construction of religion, the survival of political institutions, technological and scientific inventions, the birth and decadence of art and civilization... And the irreversible damage to the environment caused by human existence.

The tranquility, mysterious and unique scenery of the countryside in the novel add a strong romantic color to the love experience of the hero and heroine.

The ideal world and ideal characters described by the author appear as the opposite of the ugly phenomena of capitalist society. Although they lack profundity, they have the value of positive ideals.
