"Farming Poem" describes the miserable conditions of the soldiers and the people during the great defeat of the French army in the spring of 1940, the tragedy that occurred to an aristocratic family during the French Revolution in 1789, and the feelings of a young American who participated in the Battle of Barcelona during the Spanish Civil War in 1936. The closely intertwined themes of war and revolution make the novel rich in epic color. The novel is named after the ancient Roman poet Virgil's long poem "Farming Poem" because the protagonist of the novel never forgets his homeland, spring sowing, summer working, autumn harvesting and winter, no matter in the stormy waves of the Great Revolution or the artillery fire and gunpowder smoke in the north-south war. Tibetan farming also embodies the philosophy contained in Virgil's poems; things in the world are complex and ever-changing, and as long as the four seasons are constantly changing and orderly, people can only enjoy fun in pastoral farming and gain peace and comfort in nature.

Selected Novels of Chekhov Translated by Ru Long (translation Series by Chinese Translators)

L

381K0

"Selected Novels of Chekhov" is the essence of Anton Chekhov's (1860-1904) novels. Chekhov is good at capturing the absurdity and depth of human nature in trivial daily life: the hypocrisy of bureaucrats ("Chameleon"), the spiritual dilemma of intellectuals ("Ward Six"), and the humble struggles of small people ("Affliction"). His words are as precise as a scalpel, which not only satirizes the numbness and decay of society ("The Man in the Trap"), but also injects poetic sadness into ordinary life ("The Woman with a Puppy"). The work abandons preaching and uses "objective presentation" to allow readers to understand the intertwining of hope and despair on their own. It is hailed as a model of modern short stories and influenced later generations such as Kafka and Lu Xun. Rulong's translation of Chekhov is a faithful reproduction of Chekhov's concise style. The translation is clean and neat, avoiding lengthy procrastination, and accurately conveys Chekhov's literary soul. Our company owns the exclusive copyright.

The characteristic of Jin Shengtan's anthology lies not only in the selection, but also in the evaluation, paying more attention to comments and appreciation. Jin Shengtan selected nearly 600 seven-character verses from the early Tang Dynasty to the Five Dynasties for detailed commentary, focusing on trying to figure out the various layouts, inheritance, and transition patterns of the seven-character verses in the Tang Dynasty. He either made insights or borrowed topics, which is of great reference value for appreciating and studying Tang poetry. Jin Shengtan pioneered the "seven-law decomposition method" to comment on Tang poetry. He divided Tang poetry into "pre-interpretation" and "post-interpretation", and analyzed the ups and downs hidden behind the poems, "which may enable future generations to see not only the words of Tang poetry, but also the poetry of Tang poetry." "The Biography of Seven Hundred Famous People in the Qing Dynasty: The Biography of Jin Renrui" says of him: "His criticisms are as bright as fire and as pungent as those of an old official. His writings dance with his sentences, and those who see him sigh for a moment that he is the reincarnation of a spirit ghost."

There may be lives lost and dreams disillusioned, but hope is never lost. My father has always had two fantasies in his heart: first, that bears can live well in this world; second, that people can live their whole lives in hotels. He took his mother, five of us children, a bear, and an old dog, and opened the first "New Hampshire Hotel" on an abandoned school, followed by the second and third hotels. In half a century of hotel life, we have experienced a lot of sudden misfortunes. Whenever we dwell on the pain of the past, we always remember what our father said: Our most important duty is to enjoy the joys of life. "If you come into a great hotel broken and incomplete," my father said, "you will leave the great hotel whole."

In this work, Tuchman focuses his attention on Western society 25 years before the outbreak of the "World War I", using an artist's approach to reproduce the ideological trends and ideals, sudden changes and disputes at that time: before the "August Cannons" exploded, the British aristocratic world began to collapse, and power shifted to a new class, passionate anarchy. The righteous dreamed of a harmonious world, imperialist sentiments climbed to the New World, the U. S. Navy quietly rose, the Dreyfus incident set off a fierce confrontation within the French, Strauss's music and Nietzsche's thoughts influenced Germany... Under the appearance of prosperity, the old world was already full of troubles. That era did not die of old age or accidents, but exploded in a terminal crisis and became an important page in history. ... (It is) more than confidence, innocence, comfort, stability, security and peace. People who lived in that era also misled us. When they looked back across the chasm of war, the first half of their lives were shrouded in the mist of a beautiful sunset, full of peace and tranquility. And we mistakenly believe that doubt, fear, turmoil, protest, violence and hatred do not exist. --Barbara W. Tuchman

King Henry VIII of England, King Francois I of France, Holy Roman Emperor Charles V and Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent of the Ottoman Empire, these four great monarchs were born in the same decade (1491-1500). They were all important in the history of their respective countries, and in this book, John Julius Norwich zooms in to show how the feud between these four monarchs laid the foundation for modern Europe, against the backdrop of the Renaissance and Reformation. Individually they were different, Henry had six wives and Charles was ascetic; together they dominated the world stage. This book describes the meeting of the Golden Sea that nearly bankrupted France and Britain, tells the story of Suleiman's pile of two thousand enemy heads after the Battle of Mohács, mentions that Anne Boleyn's left hand has six fingers that pious people are afraid of, and mentions the true story of the Maltese Falcon. These stories make "The Four Monarchs" an extremely vivid and interesting historical work.
