Revealing the truth about why Truman Capote was able to write the masterpiece "In Cold Blood", the candid and private portrait of Capote constitutes an autobiography of extraordinary significance. It contains the "circle of friends" of the author of "Breakfast at Tiffany's" throughout his life. A large number of private letters are presented for the first time. Little-known literary anecdotes, crackling entertainment gossips, grievances and resentments of same-sex couples, and embarrassing creative inside stories. Big names in the literary world and Hollywood stars compete to appear. It is full of absolute fun. This book contains more than 400 of Capote's personal letters, compiled and compiled by Capote's biographer Gerald Clark, and disclosed to the world for the first time. It thus presents the most candid and private portrait of Capote, constituting a writer's autobiography of extraordinary significance. From a "statement" written to his biological father when he was 12 years old, to a tearful telegram sent to his lifelong partner two years before his death, the owner of the letter went from a "little wizard" and elf who jumped into the New York literary world, and experienced his high-spirited and heroic years; and then a slightly inner life. In the 1950s, he lived in Europe with his partner and wrote non-stop; in the 1960s, a pioneering non-fiction writing work, "In Cold Blood", pushed him to the top of his career and became the most famous writer in the United States; until the feast dissipated and the light faded, he died of alcohol and drugs in his prime. Capote's letters are full of openness and vitality, and his open-mindedness and uniqueness as a humanistic person make the book full of "absolute fun and crackling rumors and gossip" (Vanity Fair's words), just like a feast that is easy to break up, and it is a feast for the eyes.

The British Empire reigned supreme in the 19th century, with its territories and colonies spread all over the world. It was known as the Empire on which the sun never sets. The newly born United States dominated the 20th century, and its politics, economy, culture, and military influenced the historical process of the 20th century in all aspects. Since the Industrial Revolution, the two English-speaking countries have dominated the world for more than 200 years. This is by no means an accident. Winston Churchill revealed the secrets to us profoundly and vividly with his broad strokes. This is his historical masterpiece "History of the English People", coupled with his monumental memoirs "Memoirs of the First World War" and "Memoirs of the Second World War", which almost completely describe the historical trajectory of the English-speaking people from the wilderness to the world's super power.

Q

A political travelogue about war memory, state crimes, and national remorse. Seventy years after the end of World War II, when the righteous side cheers for victory, how do the two "dangerous nations" Germany and Japan face their disgraceful pasts? On the surface, the Germans' thorough reflection on the Holocaust and Japan's denial of responsibility for aggression are obvious to the world. However, under the shadow of history, regarding the purgatory of Auschwitz, Hiroshima and Nanjing, the trial of the victors and the proliferation of historical commemorations, as well as the efforts and means to achieve "normalization", the two seemingly different countries are actually full of gray areas where it is difficult to distinguish right from wrong. Visiting the ambiguous corners of history and capturing the subtext behind the high-sounding words, the author also does not forget to ask again and again: Who should pay for this sin?
